One minute Picotto (43) is spinning to a packed out 45,000-seater football stadium in Amsterdam and the next he’s playing to 18,000 in the middle of the Amazonian jungle at seven in the morning, with parrots flying overhead!

Previously a member of the Italian rave outfit, Cappella, he became well-known as a solo artist with techno-trance tracks including "Komodo" (2000), "Pulsar" (2001) and most famously for "Lizard" (1999.

He has since collaborated with other techno-trance stars such as Tisto and Mario Pi.

He promotes his own techno club night, Meganite (named after an early 21st century track of his), which has run for consecutive years annually since 2005 at Privilege Ibiza and he has his own record label, Bakerloo.
