We were there Again. Video Interview with Giuseppe Ottaviani at Tomorrowland 2011. The official after movie for Tomorrowland 2011 is one of, if not the, most spectacular pieces of post-event festival footage ever shot! Quite rightly, people all around the world have been going utterly mad for it, and the surrounding hype is unprecedented. It will come as no surprise then, that in just under two weeks the audio-visual masterpiece has clocked up over 1 MILLION unique hits on YouTube, and climbing fast! With almost as many views already as last year’s movie, it’s quite clear that festival organisers ID&T are doing something right. Each year Tomorrowland surpasses all expectations, and delivers to revellers a more wonderful, imaginative, magical, and unforgettable experience than before.
On Sunday 24th of July the German superstar DJ, and legend of electronic dance music, Paul van Dyk hosted his own gigantic stage ‘Evolution’ at Tomorrowland, named after his forthcoming album. One of the great artists, who performed there, was the Italian maestro, Giuseppe Ottaviani. I have done several other interviews with him, and at the end I get always the same impression. He is one of the warmest and most welcoming artists because he loves to talk about his work, and he is really friendly and so down to earth. We asked him how he feels when he plays in other countries, and notices people in the crowd holding the Italian flag. He talks about his latest mix compilation ‘GO ON AIR’, which is out now on VANDIT/Armada Music. He explains the production process of this CD, explains that the majority of the tracks are exclusively selected and produced for it.
Also, he talks about his brand new monthly show with the same title "Go On Air". What is more, we discuss the growing popularity of Trance music in Italy, and the hard work he is putting in to raise the profile of Trance in his country. It’s a really informative interview which is worth watching for sure.
