Review: Dannic - Lion

At the tail end of 2013, Revealed Recordings favorite DANNIC had proven an unstoppable titan to emerge from the Dutch club sphere. He returns this month hot off the heels of remix duties for "Beam," joining the label for his first original stint since "Blueprint" alongside Sick Individuals with a lion's roar towards the future of peak time club fuel. Already in heavy rotation from some of the industry's hottest players and playing soundtrack to some of the globe's biggest festivals, DANNIC employs groovy progressive aptitude and those signature massive breakdowns to show his sound at an all-time high for the earliest marks of the New Year. Given the affirmative action already established between DANNIC and Revealed Recordings, "Lion" is the sound of an artist truly on the rise and with no holds barred for 2014.

Review: Dyro - Black Smoke

2013 was a lodestar year for Revealed Recordings homegrown talent Dyro. Entering the DJ Mag Top 100 poll at #30 as 2013’s highest new entry and expanding his global presence to an all-time-high, the young talent takes to 2014 with all guns blazing. Where Beatport chart-topper “Never Say Goodbye” and recent big room offering “Go Down” set the Dutch trailblazer ahead of the crowd throughout the year, his follow-up to label hit “Leprechauns & Unicorns” maintains speculation that the young talent isn’t resting on any laurels just yet. A triplet-led bout of raw electro energy, “Black Smoke” sees his signature sound embedded into yet another impressive curve ball away from the industry status quo. Ready to unveil his Dyro Diaries online series and a streak of high-profile collaborative stints for the near future, “Black Smoke” is the epitome of Dyro’s unstoppable aura that is sure to make 2014 his most definitive year on the beat.
