With his most recent single ‘Lost For Words’ still entrancing dancefloors and radio waves 5 months after its release, EDM maestro-mind Giuseppe Ottaviani readies his next club strike. For his first 2013 single, he’s teamed up with Eric Lumiere – the immediately recognisable voice behind many a Filo & Peri release. Together, on ‘Love Will Bring It All Around’, Giuseppe and Eric deliver trance-land a virtuoso, summer-gateway anthem. Already setting floors ablaze during his recent sets, ‘Love Will Bring It All Around’ is the vanguard single for Giuseppe Ottaviani’s forthcoming sophomore artist album… On his Original Mix, he initially dials into a trance-progressive ethic. Locked around thunderous, purposeful drums, tight, stripped-back percussion loops and mood fuelling, floor-engaging FX, it lights the trail for the vocal.

To ‘Love Will Bring It All Around’, Eric Lumiere brings another of his profoundly thought provoking, (not to mention devilishly catchy) lyrical/vocal performances. In the drop, guided by Giuseppe’s masterful dark-to-light, piano-paving transition, Eric turns the tone, with a spiritually uplifting chorus that sends the release sky bound.

Further into the release, Dutch dons Rank 1 wow once again, adding yet another Big Room filling revamp to their remixography. Holding the focus on ‘Love Will Bring It All Around’s deeper core and vocal intelligence, they shoot the track through the progressive prism.

Adding another couple of shades to the release, Giuseppe’s On Air Mix heat-seeks the main set spin, ramping the euphoria factor up to vertigo-inducing levels. The Crossover Mix meanwhile heads in the opposite direction, chilling ‘Love Will Bring’ into a wonderful beat-free, afterhours immersion.

The world has heard, seen and felt it. ‘This Is What It Feels Like’, the first single of Armin van Buuren’s ‘Intense’ album, has begun to move us all. The feel-good tune, featuring Trevor Guthrie, now spreads through the remixes of David Guetta, Antillas & Dankann and Giuseppe Ottaviani!

Getting the ‘Essential New Tune’ on Pete Tong’s BBC Radio 1 show and performed live in front of ten-thousands of fans during Armin’s set at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami, ‘This Is What It Feels Like’ is the new sensation. A musical fusion that works, moves and brings a smile. For those craving a more club oriented version, it’s now time for the remixes to rush in.

Giuseppe Ottaviani hears the trance fans by kicking in with a 138-friendly remix of outstanding uplifting quality that has become an absolute fan favourite since its first play by Armin van Buuren on A State Of Trance. Giuseppe’s remix and all other mixes are out now on Beatport here.

Last year, through his sixth artist album, electronic music legend Paul van Dyk changed up perceptions of the PvD sound, wholesale. Now that ‘the originals’ have been established, the time has come to let the remixers speak as Paul’s evolution becomes an out‐and‐out revolution! Handpicked by the man himself ‐ from the ready‐to‐break to the firmly established ‐ the remix gathering has assembled. Let the reworks begin!

“Naturally, the original versions of EVOLUTION’s tracks were my and my co‐producers visions. To‐date, the singles have brought some wonderful, creative remixes with them – ones that blew me away when I heard them and which I played in‐club and on the radio throughout 2012. They were the seeds for this album; now is the right time to push the boundaries of ‘EVOLUTION’ that bit further” – Paul van Dyk, Berlin, January 2013.

Giuseppe takes control of ‘Lost In Berlin’ with the redolunt tones of Michelle Leonard building it up into a mainline titan with his take on the original version of this track which can found on the album, as well as the brand new remix by Robert Mint of Paul & Giuseppe’s ‘ A Wonderful Day ‘ which is out now on Vandit Records. Comprising 17 fresh‐off‐the‐desk reworks from a full company of van Dyk’s fellow production studionauts, this is where evolution ends and full‐scale revolution breaks out.

VANDIT’s setting a high bar for 2013, kicking off with another exquisite trancer of Giuseppe Ottaviani making. ‘Earthbeat’, which enjoys the early support from Paul van Dyk as well as Armin van Buuren, is a classic to be. A clean, strong build-up, melody rising from the deep. Bass riding the tide of another significant Ottavianni production. It’s ‘Earthbeat’ that follows the success of his ‘Lost For Words’ and shows that the power of instrumentals have yet to fade.

‘Earthbeat‘ is out on January 28th as Beatport Exclusive via VANDIT records.
