Epitomising trance music’s energy in both approach and output, Italy’s **Giuseppe Ottaviani** has long been recognised as one of the genre’s most prodigious and prolific merchants. From his earliest studio work (as the engine behind NU NRG), through to his latter-day output under his own name, he’s become synonymous with preeminent trance. Over the last decade the three updates he has given his pioneering club-becomes-studio Giuseppe Ottaviani Live concept has rewritten the book on what a DJ ‘does’. Through them he has brought a unique dynamic to many of the world’s best-known electronic music festivals and arena shows – Tomorrowland, Dreamstate, EDC, ASOT and Transmission amongst them. Feeding these performances is a career-long procession of club hits, of which ‘Linking People’, ‘Through Your Eyes’, ‘Ready’, ‘Angel’ and ‘No More Alone’ are but a few. Giuseppe’s remains both contemporary and scene-omnipotent with of-late solo productions like ‘8K’, ‘Tranceland’, ‘Moscow River’, ‘Time Shift’ and others continuing to win trance hearts & minds. In the summer of 2019, through his fourth longplayer, Giuseppe fundamentally changed the album game, breaking the producer/audience barrier with his critically acclaimed ‘Evolver’.

Exploring the boundaries of Mainstage Techno and Trance, **Nifra** has been causing a stir with her dynamic musical evolution, injecting a refreshing energy into the genre and igniting every dancefloor she graces. Nominated twice for Best Female Trance Artist at the IDMAs and an integral part of ‘Future Of Dance 2022’; a highly regarded group selected by 1001Tracklists including 101 producers anticipated to shape the future, the compelling Slovakian born Nifra is a force to be reckoned with. A true ambassador for women across the globe in electronic music, Nikoleta’s passion is undeniable, while her intensity is hard to beat. Her devotion to music started in her teenage years and soon electronic music was her ride or die, making her one of the most in demand DJ’s alongside Tiesto, Paul van Dyk and Armin van Buuren at standout events like ASOT1000, Southern California’s Beyond Wonderland and the Festival X tour in Australia. 2023 welcomes some of Nifra’s biggest shows to date, including Tomorrowland and Creamfields amongst an epic string of new music dropping, making the #10 spot and highest ranked female trance artist on Trancepodium.
