Two trance titans join forces for a reimagined masterpiece: “Drum’s A Weapon (Giuseppe Ottaviani Reprint)” sees Italian maestro Giuseppe Ottaviani breathe new life into Ferry Corsten’s powerful original. Released on the iconic Black Hole Recordings, this 138 BPM reprint is a full-throttle journey through rhythm and melody — true to both artists’ legendary reputations.
Ferry Corsten, one of the pioneers of the trance genre, needs little introduction. From his System F classics like Out of the Blue to his timeless solo productions and “Corsten’s Countdown” legacy, the Dutch visionary has consistently pushed the genre forward. Giuseppe Ottaviani, classically trained and known for his mesmerizing live sets, brings his signature precision, energy, and emotional depth — the perfect match for Corsten’s bold production style.
From the very first beat, Ottaviani’s version makes its intent clear. A relentless kick drives the rhythm while razor-sharp percussion and cinematic synth layers unfold. The breakdown delivers that unmistakable trance euphoria: soaring leads, shimmering pads, and a melody that strikes straight at the heart. When the drop hits, the title proves true — drums really are the weapon, detonating pure dancefloor energy while keeping the melodic core intact.
“Drum’s A Weapon (Giuseppe Ottaviani Reprint)” is a shining example of how modern trance can sound powerful, emotional, and club-ready at once — a nod to the genre’s roots with a forward-looking production edge.
