When ARTBAT team up with Giuseppe Ottaviani and vocalist Conor Ross, expectations are naturally high — and “Break The Loop” lives up to the hype. Released on UPPERGROUND, the track captures the ongoing fusion between melodic house & techno and modern trance.
At 128 BPM, the production strikes a perfect balance: ARTBAT’s signature deep, driving groove meets Ottaviani’s uplifting melodic touch. The result is a polished, cinematic soundscape built on rolling basslines, shimmering synths, and a powerful sense of progression. Conor Ross adds an emotional vocal layer that enhances the atmosphere without dominating it, giving the track both depth and accessibility.
What makes “Break The Loop” stand out is its restraint. Instead of going full euphoric trance, it stays grounded in a modern melodic techno framework — creating a track that works just as well in underground club settings as at festival sunset moments.
The collaboration also reflects the evolution of both artists: ARTBAT continue to push into more emotional territory, while Ottaviani further explores sounds beyond traditional trance without losing his identity.
