After making an impressive mark on 2013 with his initiation to Revealed Recordings, Dutch producer Julian Calor returns with an explosive remix of German duo Jewelz & Scott Sparks’s ‘Unless We Forget’, ready for the summer of 2014.

Receiving heavy support across both Hardwell’s ‘On Air’ and Pete Tong’s legendary Radio 1 shows, the trio of Revealed alumni congregate together to bring this concentrated, vocal heavy release, to the centre stage.

Review: Dyro - Sounds Like

Review: Dyro - Sounds Like. Hot off the heels of a whirlwind North American bus tour, Dyro returns to his home-from-home of Revealed Recordings with another well-oiled original for the fast approaching summer stretch. As premiered by Hardwell during his Ultra closing set in Miami, the highest new entry in the DJ Mag Top 100 poll asserts his standing with another original track poised at turning heads across the globe. At a time when the trolls can make or break any given record, “Sounds Like” plays into that signature spiral in sound that the Dutch breakout has commandeered throughout his career to date. A cool electro cut flaunting an original take on the label’s practised output, Dyro strikes back with an essential antidote to the everyday big room anthem that is sure to stay on the radar for all the right reasons throughout the summer.

The Best Global Dance Event for the second consecutive year according to the IDMA's in Miami, is Tomorrowland which celebrates in 2014, ten glorious and extremely enjoyable years. It is organised in the recreational area at Boom near Antwerp, with outstanding success. Tomorrowland, according to the loyal fans of the festival and many insiders in the music industry, is considered to be the festival that changed electronic dance music festivals for ever.

The global impact of Tomorrowland is extraordinary, and you can notice the success story of the festival in various aspects of the areas. For instance, Tomorrowland manages to establish its own music style which is widely termed as 'Festival House'.

Many young and established producers compose tracks especially for the main stage sets of the big superstar DJ's and they hope to see their tracks included in the legendary aftermovie of the festival which gets millions of views on YouTube. Also, many tracks that have been premiered at Tomorrowland  become number one hit records such as 'DVBBS & Borgeous - Tsunami' or Martin Garixx global smash hit 'Animals'.

Tomorrowland was a catalyst in the festival and entertainment sector because it's success gave encouragement to other companies to establish similar festivals all over the world.
