When two titans of uplifting trance meet, the result is bound to shake the emotional core of the genre. Giuseppe Ottaviani’s beloved anthem “Keep Your Dreams Alive” – originally the soundtrack to Dreamstate Europe 2019 – receives a breathtaking new chapter through Darren Porter’s unmistakable touch. Released via Dreamstate Records, this remix reignites the spirit of hope and determination that made the original so iconic, transforming it into a full-power festival weapon for 2025.
Darren Porter injects his signature drive and euphoric intensity into Ottaviani’s timeless melody. The remix opens with a pulsating rhythm and massive low-end energy before blooming into a dazzling main lead—one that carries the emotional essence of the original but now surges with peak-time force. Where Giuseppe’s original leaned toward emotive and cinematic trance, Porter’s version turns the dial up to full throttle, delivering a masterclass in how to balance emotion and power without compromise.
Few artists embody trance’s live and emotional essence like Giuseppe Ottaviani. Known for his “Live 2.0” performances and melodic precision, the Italian maestro has spent over two decades shaping the sound of modern trance. Tracks like “Through Your Eyes”, “8K”, and “Till The Sunrise” define his ethos of melody-driven energy and unfiltered emotion.
Meanwhile, Darren Porter, one of the UK’s most respected trance producers, continues to impress with his high-octane, uplifting productions on labels such as FSOE, Monster Tunes, and Dreamstate. Known for anthems like “Terraforming” and “Whiplash”, his style is synonymous with adrenaline-fueled euphoria and flawless sound design—qualities that shine through brilliantly in this remix.
This is more than a rework—it’s a reminder of what makes trance eternal: emotion, unity, and an unwavering belief in the power of dreams.
