Francesco Pico’s name is often heard in the dance scene. He released and remixed numerous tracks for labels such as Global Underground, AudioTherapy, Urbantorque, Extrema, Briquerouge and his own label Magnitude Recordings. His tracks are played by Sas..
Francesco Pico has always been fascinated by music with a story. The feeling at the end is determined by the beginning and the further structure of his music set. Separate sounds on themselves may sound insignificant, but put together in the right order they become so meaningful, it is capable of releasing your deepest emotions. A feeling that simply cannot be described. Just be patient and you will be rewarded. That’s the beauty of his music.
This is exactly why it is hard to talk about a certain Francesco Pico style. Everything goes as long as that certain emotional feeling is achieved. Francesco has a very recognisable groove and vibe, and he also has the ability to let the music roam freely, always trying to tell his story. In the end, Francesco is always capable of creating a danceable vibe. Place and setting are always a fact a deejay should be aware of. Francesco knows like no other how to adapt to these circumstances, and is continuously working hard to adjust his groove and style in order to give the crowd his distinctive thrilling and stimulating mix.
Francesco has been working in the dance scene since 1991. Before that, music has always been a significant part of his life. He gets his inspiration from artists like Mike Oldfield, Camel, Junkie XL, Sasha, Gorillaz, UNKLE, Danny Tenaglia, Remy, Chris Duckenfield and more. He already managed to make a name by releasing quite a lot of his own productions. He has also remixed numerous productions, so it is fair to say his work is quite impressive. His productions and remixes have been released by labels like: Global Underground, Audio Therapy, Urbantorque, Manual music, Extrema music, Odori (swag), Killbrique (David Duriez), Good:as, Onestar and his own label: Magnitude Recordings. His releases were admitted in the play list of many famous deejays, and reviews in several magazines were very positive on his work. In 2007, Francesco launched his very first artist album “Imagining Sounds”. Its first single “All by yourself” was a huge success. His biggest supporter of this track was dj Sasha. The world-renowned dj used “All by yourself” in his Essential mix, which was broadcasted in August from Ibiza’s “Amnesia”. The track has also been used as closing track on Jimmy van M’s “Balance 10.1” album.
But all this is not yet enough for Francesco. He still produces a lot and has been picked up by the world famous British label “Global Underground”. A few tracks and remixes have already been released on albums like GU:MIXED2 and Electric Calm 4 but also as single on the GU:Music label. Also Dave Seaman showed interest in Francesco and has asked him to make a remix for his label “Audio Therapy”.
