It was lockdown that provided the initial inspirational gleaming for the non-club-centric nature of ‘Horizons’. Its get-go single was over a year ago though and it now feels like just the first of several inspirations, as opposed to its single guiding principle. To create an album that had a wholly different feel, the methodology of Giuseppe’s studio-craft naturally had to adapt.

In the eyes of his fans, Giuseppe has apparently remained the most steadfast producer in the genre. Known for his productions, there’s a possible perception of him as a ‘known-quantity’.

Singles-wise, Giuseppe’s been marching to the beat of some different drums over the last five months, with each sharing a common theme and cause. Collectively, ‘Fade Away’, ‘With You’, ‘The Wind In Your Face’ and others have marked a modification to his theme - one that’s seen him place less of a club-emphasis on his music. Their cause meanwhile has been to pave the way to ‘Horizons’ – the Italian’s next artist longplayer, which drops in the late spring.

‘Rain’ has gone through more than your average number of metamorphoses in its short history, and not least in its title. Starting life last year with a ‘November’ prefix, it arrived as part of Cold Blue’s ‘Winter’ album, and an expo of the German producer’s deeper capabilities. From there he spun it off to his July-released ‘Summer Chills’ LP, where it title-hopped to ‘August Rain’, turning the original’s moodsome demeanour into seven chilled minutes.

Last year’s ‘In Search Of Sunrise’ culminated in the November arrival of ‘ISOS’’s first ‘winter edition’. For 2020 though, Black Hole Recordings recently released the 16th edition this month, compiled by Markus Schulz, who returns for a third expedition, Giuseppe Ottaviani and Roger Shah, who dons his Sunlounger guise for its third disc.
