NU NRG was founded in 1999 by 2 ambitious Italians - Andrea Ribeca and Giuseppe Ottaviani. Their outstanding trance melodies become their distinctive mark and inspire the project NU NRG. Making trance music, they were discovered by Paul van Dyk in 2001. Their first album "Freefall" was released in July 2004. They are mostly known from their music, but they have also performed as DJs in the past.

Giuseppe met Andrea Ribeca - the other half of NU NRG - in 1999 (an electronic music enthusiast and DJ, too) and both quickly decided to start their own music project: NU NRG, Giuseppe´s starting point as a professional musician and producer. They released their first 12" on Vandit Records with their club anthem Dreamland in 2001, followed by the Spaceflower EP, Connective and their fantastic debut album Free Fall in 2004. In the meantime they started touring as a LIVE Act and produced various remixes and attained a series of achievements last but not least, the Trance Award 2004 prize as Best Live Act.

As it is now, NU NRG have stopped as a duo, but Giuseppe Ottaviani continues to keep producing trance music.
