Nu NRG

**Nu NRG** was an Italian trance duo known for their high-energy, melodic sound that became a staple of the early 2000s uplifting trance scene. Composed of Giuseppe Ottaviani and Andrea Ribeca, the pair gained recognition for their explosive tracks and intricate production style, blending euphoric synths with driving rhythms. They released music on influential labels like Vandit (founded by trance legend Paul van Dyk) and Bonzai Records, with tracks like “Last Experience,” “Bonsai,” and “Atomo” becoming dancefloor anthems. Their remix of “The Eternal” further cemented their reputation for crafting adrenaline-fueled trance.

Though Nu NRG disbanded in the mid-2000s, their legacy lives on. Giuseppe Ottaviani continued to thrive as a solo artist and live performer, while Andrea Ribeca shifted focus to studio work and collaborations. Tracks like “Universe” and “Kosmosy” remain nostalgic favorites, capturing the duo’s knack for merging emotion with unstoppable energy—a sound that still resonates with trance fans worldwide.
