Giuseppe Ottaviani continues to push the boundaries of electronic music with We Are Free, the second release from his bold new project, OTTAGON. Following the genre-blending brilliance of Find You, Ottaviani dives deeper into darker, more driving territory with this hypnotic festival anthem. Premiered at Dreamstate in November during the debut of his groundbreaking OTTAGON live show, We Are Free isn’t just a track—it’s a statement of artistic liberation, both sonically and conceptually.
Clocking in at a relentless 130 BPM, We Are Free is a masterclass in tech trance, fusing the raw energy of techno with the euphoric essence of trance. The track’s dark, driving aesthetic grips from the first beat, propelled by thunderous basslines, razor-sharp percussion, and a hypnotic lead melody that unfolds like a siren’s call. The tension builds with precision, creating a magnetic pull that’s impossible to resist, before erupting into a drop designed to ignite festival crowds.
What sets We Are Free apart is its seamless integration of live performance elements. The melodies were played live on eight Novation keyboards, reflecting Ottaviani’s unparalleled technical prowess and his commitment to authenticity in an era dominated by pre-recorded sets. The octagonal stage setup adds to the immersive experience, turning each performance into a multi-sensory journey.
Giuseppe Ottaviani’s name is etched into the history of trance music. With over two decades of experience, he has built a career defined by innovation and emotional resonance. From his early days as part of the iconic Nu NRG duo to his solo career filled with anthems like Through Your Eyes and Keep Running, Ottaviani has always prioritized live performance, often eschewing traditional DJ setups in favor of custom rigs that allow him to create music in real-time.
OTTAGON represents the next evolution in his journey. Named after his octagonal stage design and reflecting the eight-keyboard setup he now performs with, this project is Ottaviani’s playground for experimentation, where genre lines blur and creativity reigns supreme.
We Are Free is more than just a track; it’s an embodiment of Ottaviani’s ethos—freedom through music, unbound by genre constraints. Its dark, pulsating energy makes it a perfect anthem for peak-time festival moments, while its intricate melodic layers reveal new depths with every listen. As a taste of the forthcoming OTTAGON album, it promises an exciting future for fans of cutting-edge electronic music.
