Giuseppe Ottaviani and Andrew Rayel have officially joined forces for their new collaboration, ‘How Do We Know,’ a powerful trance anthem crafted for peak-time moments on the world’s biggest stages.
The track brings together two of trance music’s most recognizable names, each known for their ability to fuse emotional songwriting with high-energy production. From the opening bars, ‘How Do We Know’ sets an expansive tone, gradually building tension through layered synth work and atmospheric textures before erupting into a euphoric, festival-ready drop. The result is a record that feels both cinematic and built for maximum dancefloor impact.
At the heart of the track is Alessia Labate’s standout vocal performance, which adds a deeply emotional layer to the production. Her delivery floats effortlessly over the instrumental, anchoring the track’s central theme with a sense of vulnerability and uplift. The vocal hook is instantly memorable, designed to resonate in large open-air settings while still feeling intimate in quieter moments.
Both Ottaviani and Rayel bring their signature production styles into full focus here. Ottaviani’s precision-driven progressive trance influence blends seamlessly with Rayel’s melodic, orchestral approach, creating a dynamic push-and-pull between tension and release. The track alternates between soaring melodic builds and hard-hitting drops, maintaining a constant sense of momentum without losing its emotional core.
‘How Do We Know’ captures the essence of modern trance: uplifting, powerful, and emotionally charged, while still delivering the high-energy punch expected from both artists. With this collaboration, Giuseppe Ottaviani and Andrew Rayel reaffirm their positions as leading forces in contemporary trance, delivering a record that is as emotionally resonant as it is engineered for maximum crowd impact.
