Review by luca_frucco Jul 23, 2008
JOHAN BACTO is without a doubt one of the best techno producers of the 2000 scene with Hertz,Nastic,Carola,Vigorito,Tom Hades.
I like what he makes because it sound different to all the swedish productions as Beyer.I dont know why he's not continuing to produce. Where are u johan?
Johan Bacto is without doubt, the coolest name i have ever heard. A true lifesaver.
JOHAN BACTO is one of the best Techno producers. As Dj i don't know because i have never seen bacto behind a mixer.

Review by Parf Jul 27, 2003
As far as DJing goes Bacto is superb and he never misses a mix. Sadly, his choice of music is somewhat lacking. His DJ sets go on and on without ever reaching any highs, they just kind of are there.

But he's responsible for the wonderful Mankind parties held on a yearly basis in Sweden, and for that, I'm eternally thankful.

Review by techno_saves_lives Sep 14, 2002
Right, this guy owns Skunkworks, Zync, Mankind, Placktown Sounds, Countdown 2000 and Devils Choice. Between them thats a whole lotta techno to be in charge of.

Some of his productions are simply sublime to listen to, much more profound bass, and all the percussion complements each other. What ive heard from this guy impresses me far more than any of Beyer's stuff recently.

DJing. Never even seen his name on a lineup anywhere. Has never played in england. so no idea.

Plus, 'Johan Bacto' is without doubt, the coolest name i have ever heard. A true lifesaver.
