Giuseppe Ottaviani, John O'Callaghan - Cloudsurfer (A Dreamstate Anthem) [Dreamstate Records]

Giuseppe Ottaviani, John O'Callaghan - Cloudsurfer

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.
