‘Without You’ by Giuseppe Ottaviani is a trance track that features a powerful vocal performance by Adriana Stone. It follows the sucess of four other tracks, ‘Find You’, ‘We Are Free’, ‘Dust’, and ‘Who We Are’. We see its release on Armada Music. A core element of OTTAGON is the fusion of trance and melodic techno where he debuted it at Dreamstate SoCal last year. He played 12 new OTTAGON tracks now slowly being released tune by tune until the full album drops in May 2025.
‘Without You’ has a fast tempo and a catchy melody, as it builds to a powerful climax. The track couples with a pulsating bassline, intricate synth work, evocative vocals. The lyrics sing about the pain of losing someone you love with the hope that you will one day be together again. Reviews of the track highlight its emotional and powerful nature.
Ottaviani is recognized as a leading figure in trance music, and Stone’s vocal performance is highly regarded. So naturally, the duo paired well together for this tune. Giuseppe Ottaviani’s “OTTAGON” project started in 2024 and marks a significant evolution in his musical journey. The alias allows him to explore deeper connections between the two genres. This signifies a move towards a sound that combines the emotional depth of trance with the driving rhythms of techno. It is a project where he is taking musical risks, and providing his fans with something new.
“What I love about Armada is that I finally have a strong, passionate, and super professional team around me that is helping me develop as an artist. Everything is super smooth and easy, which is why I was able to make the OTTAGON music in such a short time. My journey with Armada has just started, and we’re looking forward to a bright future together.” – Giuseppe Ottaviani, 1001Tracklists Interview
About OTTAGON
OTTAGON performances feature an innovative live setup surrounding him on a 4×4 meter riser placed in front of the static DJ booth. The initial idea consisted of a 360° setup to be placed in the middle of the dance floor to move around and face people while playing the keyboards. However, Giuseppe decided the concept would only be available for festivals and not for clubs. The setup proved a challenge for festival grounds. Eight keyboards connect to his computer and allow him to assign any sound to any keyboard. This makes it easy to switch from one sound to another. Cameras placed all around the OTTAGON stage showcase what he can do on the big LED wall along with brand-new dedicated visuals.
Giuseppe is surely keeping his commitment to innovation and his desire to push the boundaries of electronic music. Listen to ‘Without You’ now on all streaming platforms.
