TRANCE REVIEW:Giuseppe Ottaviani, John O'Callaghan - Cloudsurfer (A Dreamstate Anthem) out 10/11 on Dreamstate Records

 


Giuseppe Ottaviani is Italy's treasured trance export, holding onto one of genre's most prolific outputs via his NU NRG, Pure NRG with Solar Stone, and his accomplished solo career. John O'Callaghan is an Irish phenom who's an equally venerated force in the trance scene, also known for harboring a few aliases of his own including Joint Operations Centre, Mannix, Henrik Zuberstein, and Stenna.The two titans are joining forces to create the official festival anthem for this year's Dreamstate SoCal festival ahead of their b2b set next month. "Cloudsurfer" marries their two styles perfectly, resulting in a tech-infused number fueled by gurgling leads, angelic choir harmonies, oscillating textures, uplifting arpeggiations and a moody undercurrent.

Giuseppe has had the honors of crafting the official anthem for EDC Europe twice with "Morpheus" in 2020 and "To The Stars" earlier this year, amassing 1M and 492k streams, respectively. John put his name on the official SoCal anthem last year with his "Darkstate" single under his Joint Operations Centre pseudonym.

[item value="10"]Giuseppe Ottaviani, John O'Callaghan - Cloudsurfer (A Dreamstate Anthem)[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Two very strong trance artists combine their forces and melt their personal styles into one huge blockbuster track. Giuseppe & John deliver the official Dreamstate anthem from the mega trance festival in USA. Punchy heavy drums, distorted crunchy drums, thumping kicks and cool vocal sample combined with acid layers that build energy and intensity till to arrive in the melodramatic breakdown with orchestral strings, melancholic high pitched synths and massive swirling synths leading in the full on hands in the air euphoric climax that is tech and euphoric in the most beneficial way for the dancefloor! It deserves to be the anthem. If u visit Dreamstate have fun and stay safe! #PureGold Love iT[/content]
