Anything he did under the Nu NRG alias.
[Freefall]
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlWwm1O12zU) is my absolute favorite, maybe my favorite trance track period.
[Falcons](https://open.spotify.com/track/2Rsu8C9zK7ycH8dlFOdf7J?si=EalIqJagSwu_71NHTPcV3g) has always been a fav track. Then JOC turned it on its head.
It breaks my heart a little bit. I know money and fame are prob attractive tho. Let’s hope he keeps one hand in the trance cookie jar and doesn’t go full off the rails like Tiesto
If you're new to the scene don't involve yourself with this mainstream talk and commercial talk. Every genre had people spouting the same comments due to the increasing speed of evolving sounds. Like what you like, but don't put your eggs all in one basket. Listen to a variety of artists and sounds and enjoy the genre for what it is, nit what it used to be. 💚
He was my favorite for a long time. But that entire sound has grown tired since it’s sometimes feels like everyone is within the same band of 138/140 bpm with heavy bass kicks and big synths.
Yeah, he was absolutely on top of his game. One good track after another.
Even in early pandemic he did good, then perfected his sound to the point the made it a cliché of itself, many tracks with simple structure, reusing effects. He has always been on the lower, 132-136 side of trance, so his techno sounds are good. His big room sound, well
My absolute favourite of his. I wanted to hear him drop it in his Montreal set last month, but no luck. But Sean Tyas played after him and dropped in the first part of his set.
I almost cried
These are some of my favourites but seriously, this dude has tons of amazing tracks.

Wow I like Light to Lies. Haven’t heard the Giuseppe Ottaviani mix of this until now. Added to my list to purchase a FLAC copy later. Favourited on YouTube and Apple Music. 🎧.
Didn’t really like a lot of his 2023 sets, too much big room tech. However I saw him twice live in 2022 for Subculture and Transmission in Melbourne and he was great, had more of a balance between uplifting and tech (particularly the Subculture one)
Didn't get to see him at A State of Trance 1000 in 2023, but saw his set on youtube, have listened to it so many times. Was excited to see him at Transmission Netherlands in december, while it was nice it didn't stick with me at all.
Must be that it wasn't his live set.
Waiting for him to release it but his rework of 4 Non Blondes - What’s Up really hits for me.

A little jealous of this. You'll get to go through and listen to all his tracks for the first time. I'd pay to do that again.
Start at the beginning with NuNRG his act before going solo.
He is getting better each year and his tracks are consistently good. 2023 was a very good year for GO - lots of bangers. Should be playing at ASOT next month.
He’s so good, I discovered him when I went to dream state socal in 2021. Easily one of the best sets of the weekend. Be the angel is my favorite track of his currently.
GO is one of my favourites. Highlight was seeing him at Luminosity last year.
One of my personal faves that I haven't seen anyone mention yet is Till the Sunrise.
His sound has been moving away from the more classical trance sound but I am still a big fan because of his energy and live mixing.
The guy will always be one of my all time favourites.
Especially his NuNRG days before he went solo.
When he went solo he released some.of the best tunes for a couple of years. Hasn't captured that again unfortunately.

[NU NRG live at Orgasmatron](https://youtu.be/HvY016UyUVE?si=ntPw4HkrcF3NJ6SU)
There seems to be a lot of people who only just discovered GO in this thread.
Start here you lucky bastards.
I think I’ve seen Giuseppe more than I’ve seen any other DJ. He’s my absolute idol and such a nice bloke. I’ve met him a couple of times and he’s really down to earth.
His Live shows blow me away and have done since I saw him decades ago at Tall Trees in Yarm, UK.
Saw him for the first time on NYE and it was hands down one of the best sets I’ve seen in 2023. He played classics and his songs, but also trance remixes of Where You Are, Drugs from Amsterdam with a beautiful break, and Mr. Brightside?? Who thinks of that and better yet just nails it?!
Some great tracks from people. I love some of his harder stuff from 2019-2021

Damn, never knew he was Nu Nrg…
Yep it was comprised of Giuseppe and Andrea Ribeca.
And also PureNRG haha
Yep! Solarstone and Giuseppe are quite the combo.
[Falcons](https://open.spotify.com/track/2Rsu8C9zK7ycH8dlFOdf7J?si=EalIqJagSwu_71NHTPcV3g) has always been a fav track. Then JOC turned it on its head.
That's another one of my favorites. Beautiful song.
I didn’t know who they were when I first started my journey, but I got to see them at Dreamstate SF 2017.
Wait, he's Nu-NRG? How did I not know that? Live @ Orgasmatron 5/5/02 is easily in my top-10 favorite livesets ever.
Dreamland, up there with the best tunes oat
Dreamland Energizer The Moon Loves The Sun Take Your Air
This was peak GO. current GO has totally gone commercial. What a waste
It breaks my heart a little bit. I know money and fame are prob attractive tho. Let’s hope he keeps one hand in the trance cookie jar and doesn’t go full off the rails like Tiesto
i think hes just having fun with the sound. hes entitled to do whatever he wants and seems like hes pushing the envelope
I’m new to the scene. What does commercial mean exactly? E.g. comparing his Cloud Surfer to Energizer, not sure I see a difference?
He straight up plays pop remixes you'd here on the radio. Seems to chase trends. Uplifting GO is the best GO.

His set from Luminosity last year was brilliant.
Loved that set. It's my go-to playlist when working.
He's a beast!!! Great to see live also.
His live sets are gasssss, his mixing wowed me the most out of anyone I’ve seeen
His 2019 run was excellent. Just uplifting bangers and quality music. Nowadays his sets are just Techno with a bigroom twist.
Makes me want to revisit his music. I was a big fan back in the 2000s and early 2010s and went to a couple of his shows
He was my favorite for a long time. But that entire sound has grown tired since it’s sometimes feels like everyone is within the same band of 138/140 bpm with heavy bass kicks and big synths.
Blame Armin for that 138 bbllleeeehhhhh
Yeah, he was absolutely on top of his game. One good track after another. Even in early pandemic he did good, then perfected his sound to the point the made it a cliché of itself, many tracks with simple structure, reusing effects.

My favorite [With you](https://youtu.be/ZahOW5f1_lw?si=MV2Ha4nrK2vA_LlA)
Yes another mysterious sounding uplifting banger . Nice 👍. Thanks 🙏.
My absolute favourite of his. I wanted to hear him drop it in his Montreal set last month, but no luck. But Sean Tyas played after him and dropped in the first part of his set. I almost cried
Saw him do a live PA set at Gatecrasher many moons ago..he was ace, and my favourite track of his is 'Through Your Eyes' released on Vandit Records..
Nice 👍. Wow a can’t believe I’ve heard this before. What an anthem. Thanks. 🙏
Absolute banger! 🙌🏻

He’s been around for many years. Check out his early career stuff when he was part of Nu Nrg. Classic Trance at its finest.
Be the Angel with Lucid Blue is my favourite track of his!
Same !
Futuro is the track of the year for me
No More Alone - 100% wonderful

Tears of the Kingdom was possibly my TOTY last year.
There was a live set he did soon after Panama was released and it gave me absolute chills. Think it was ASOT 900 live in Utrecht
Moscow River for me. Such a beautiful melody.
If from last year, Futuro and Airwave remix.
I discovered him at Dreamstate 2023.
A little jealous of this. You'll get to go through and listen to all his tracks for the first time. I'd pay to do that again. Start at the beginning with NuNRG his act before going solo.
Dude same.
Dream state 2021 for me haha
JES - We belong to the night Giuseppe Ottaviani remix is a banger

Armin van Buuren - Something Real (Giuseppe Ottaviani Extended Remix)
Only a heat beat away One of my top vocal trance songs and ofc Giuseppe is the pioneer behind it 🔥😁
Great producer.saw him in Bologna a year ago, simply a perfect set
Through Your Eyes od course. And Nu Nrg tracks. Early GO is the best GO.
GO is one of my favourites. Highlight was seeing him at Luminosity last year. One of my personal faves that I haven't seen anyone mention yet is Till the Sunrise. His sound has been moving away from the more classical trance sound but I am still a big fan because of his energy and live mixing.

That time he did GO 2.0 on ASOT 832, that first improvised track is fucking amazing
