Subculture caps off its anthem-packed 2017 run by welcoming Mr. Ottaviani back to its ranks. As with his ‘Crossing Lights’ production for the label back in 2015, the Italian’s gone way, way off his traditional reservation.
The result? Well ‘Legacy’ is every bit as surprising as it is spectacular!
When Giuseppe does different you know things don’t happen by halves. Thus if you like your trance with simply a seasoned dusting of techno, best look elsewhere. ‘Legacy’ is no simple studio gesture or symbolic production air-kiss to trance’s loco parentis - it’s a headfirst, cliff-edge plunge into black-hearted, European-paced techno.
The track’s deeply ominous hi-hat hiss, the murky subspace of its FX and equally heavy reverb conjure it an almost gothic feel. Alternating between three slight, but deviously effective sub-riffs, it’s metronomic percussion and hypnotically Pavlovian bass notes march you down some very shadowy corridors indeed. Meet ‘Legacy’ from today here.

[item value="10"]Giuseppe Ottaviani - Legacy[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Legacy is the latest tech trance effort by Giuseppe who is well known and appreciated for his ability to compose complex euphoric uplifting anthems.Legacy shows his skills to compose a much more minimalistic approach with handful of sounds that together build the exceptional atmosphere. The track has constant relentless energy with dark moody basslines, pounding techno infused drums and moody dystopian synthy riffs that manage easily to crawl under your skin and give you chills from head to toe. Underground creative production that will definitely add some spicey pepper in your euphoric trance DJ set. #PureBassPower Love iT [/content]
