When the master of melodic power, Giuseppe Ottaviani, steps into his alter ego OTTAGON, expectations soar—and “Only Midnight Knows” doesn’t disappoint. This time, Ottaviani teams up with vocalist JAI RYU for a festival anthem that lives at the emotional crossroads of trance and progressive, delivering a mainstage moment that lingers long after the lights fade.

The track opens with a subtle progressive pulse that steadily builds tension, but it’s the vocal from JAI RYU that truly captivates. Soaring, intimate, and tinged with melancholy, it wraps around a hook that hits with full emotional impact. The drop doesn’t aim to overwhelm with sheer energy—instead, it lifts with elegance, leaning on deep basslines and a melody that feels both introspective and anthemic. It’s a testament to Ottaviani’s evolution as a producer that he can craft something this restrained yet powerful at 128 BPM.

Giuseppe Ottaviani has long been a pillar of the trance scene. From his early days as part of NU NRG to his solo career filled with chart-topping releases and legendary live sets, he’s consistently pushed the genre forward. His OTTAGON alias showcases a more progressive-leaning, forward-thinking approach, fusing hypnotic grooves with his unmistakable emotional signature.

“Only Midnight Knows” is not just a track; it’s a feeling bottled into five minutes of festival-ready euphoria. It’s made for twilight hours, for shared glances across the crowd, for the kind of unforgettable moments that only the best trance tracks can deliver.
