1/
Hi Giuseppe, finally your coming back to play in London @ Supernature. Its great to have you!
Many fans were upset about you not being able to perform last time round due to complications with promoters. Do you have something special lined up for them this time round?
Well, I’m still really sorry about last time, I had no chance to perform there. But now I’m very excited to come back to London cause I have to push out all the energy I saved last time . Something special? Absolutely yes, I’m going to test my new track and the latest remix I made for Josè Amnesia!

2/Just recently you won the 'Worlds Best Live Act' @ The trance Awards. Knocking off fello Vandit front man Paul Van Dyk and Tiesto. How did it feel to win that award for the second year running?
The trance award it’s definitely one of the most important things that 2007 brought. This time, this award is the very special one because actually it’s the first as solo artist. I feel very proud and honoured about that… and it’s already on my desk .

3/Many people out there don’t fully appreciate the 'Live' performance, let alone understand what playing 'live' is! Could you give them a basic run down as to what happens when you play 'Live' and why its considered to be so much more intricate than a Djing set.
Technically speaking I have a background of each track which comes quite complete from the studio. But I’m able to insert various elements on that, I can control grooves and fx, I can decide how long each block of a song will be…. Then I play the main sounds of a track, like synth line or strings or pluck line, from my keyboard, on top the background.
Emotionally speaking I definitely have much fun playing my music from a keyboard with all mistakes I can do. It’s also great to change different elements of a track right at the moment, changing completely the atmosphere on the dancefloor. Then people reacts and music too! And everytime it can be different.
Beside that I play my music only, so productions, remixes, demos…it’s more like a concert than a dj set. Performing on a stage close to the crowd is always the best way to communicate with tem for me.

4/With so many live acts starting to pop up on big line-ups these days, what do you think it is about the Giuseppe Ottaviani 'Live' experience that makes you stand out above the rest?
I think that people who voted me at the Trance Awards have the answer. Personally I don’t know exactly, I just follow my feeling about electronic music, I just play what I love and in the way that I like more. It’s not because a fashion or a business strategy, it’s only because I like it and want to share the same emotions I get from that music with other people.

5/The question on Everyones lips is: Will Nu Nrg be re-uniting at any stage to give fans one more chance to see where all the 'Live' brilliance began?
I’m quite sure now that there will be not a chance to see Nu Nrg on a stage anymore. Unfortunately I don’t think that Nu Nrg will take a place again on the dance scene.

6/You've said in the past that Paul Van Dyk was one of your most influential Artists whilst making you name with Nu-Nrg and now - as a solo artist. What’s it like now working with and being along side such a prominant legend of trance music?
Paul ran a lead role in my past life as a DJ and then as a producer, and he still does. I’m influenced from many other artists as well, but he’s still one of the benchmark I have.
I’m a big fan of him since 1997 and working close to him now it makes me feel really proud and very lucky also for the chance I had to collaborate with him last year.

7/You yourself now have been labelled as one of the most influential trance musicians of this era, how does that feel being put up alongside the legends of the dance Music Industry?
Well, it’s a good start . Actually this is not my final goal, it’s just a good point were to look forward, starting to work on new material which should be able to make new smiley people and to make new friends, and transmitting all the love I have for the music.
