PITTO - Techno - DJ Sets

When Pitto's Sexvibe shook European and American dancefloors earlier this year, reviews were nothing short of ecstatic. "Finally Holland has its own Moodymann" DJBroadcast magazine exalted. "European dance music is expanding its palette and absorbing a wider range of influences than admitted by minimal's more teleological strains.

Read more When Pitto's Sexvibe shook European and American dancefloors earlier this year, reviews were nothing short of ecstatic. "Finally Holland has its own Moodymann" DJBroadcast magazine exalted. "European dance music is expanding its palette and absorbing a wider range of influences than admitted by minimal's more teleological strains. Between records like these, and Panorama appearances from artists like Hercules and Love Affair, you can feel a subtle (and welcome) shift." Pitchfork Media's Philip Sherburne stated.

It was reviews like these, and of course major support from artists like Onur özer, Tobi Neumann, Dubfire, Karotte and many others, which got Pitto the international attention he deserves. And just like his debut Aphex EP on Phil-e, Sexvibe sold out within days. Both releases illustrate Pitto's superior mastery of climax-building and his rather un-Dutch soulfulness. His music might not quite reveal a childhood in Holland's rural East. But if the tiny village of early nineties' Ruurloo had a ghetto, Pitto would have been its sole inhabitant.

Anyone who's ever witnessed Pitto's astonishing live-performances, knows how talented he is at translating his studio skills to a dancefloor environment. Try and stay still when Pitto's tweaking those buttons, we dare you! And the party has only just begone... with a bunch of releases and remixes lined up and his first album Green coming out on Rejected next spring, 2009 is set to be Pitto's year. Show less
