Back in February when Giuseppe Ottaviani revealed that he will be dropping a brand new album this year, the trance music community was absolutely ecstatic after this announcement. Now, get ready as the Italian trance maestro gears up to drop his fourth album next week. Also last night, the tune “Follow The White Rabbit”, the next single from his album got its world radio premiere on ASOT 922.

From audience-inspired idea-kernel to diamond-in-the-rough demo, before flaming into a fully realized floor-combustor is a typically extensive process. It’s also one that for reasons numerous is regularly hidden from end-user view. Giuseppe, however, sees such matters in a more progressive manner. Through ‘Evolver’ – his July-released fourth artist album, he’s sought to remove the producer/audience fourth wall down to its last brick. It’s about a longstanding ambition to bring what happens in the production suite to a live, shared environment, whilst making the audience complicit in its mission for trance fission. 

‘Evolver’ however is his massively expanded effort to successfully turn that dynamic into a full released 17-track album. (Or 18, counting its included full-length album rendition mix). Part desire/part ‘Evolver’s M.O., the album sees a swing back to Giuseppe’s instrumental origins, with maximum concentration placed on the power of the studio’s boxes. With no vocals to assist in the emotive support, it all comes down to his ability to summon the magic from within. Some of the cores of its tracks originated from individual shows – numbers like ‘Belasco’, ‘Soundbar’ and ‘Panama’. Others – ‘Another Day In L.A.’ and ‘Ciudad De México’ among them were developed over successive nights in specific parts of the world.

Giuseppe Ottaviani’s ‘Evolver’ arrives July 19 and is available to pre-order here.
