Still early in his career, Dannic has curated many of Revealed Recording’s most destructive dance floor weapons, the most recent bomb being “Clobber.” This week he retreats to Hardwell’s imprint with another original production to once again raise the bar for up-and-coming artists. “Viper” boasts a wide array of percussion, from rolling drums to snapping bass kick, all for the cause of a rhythm that is set to devastate the summer circuit. One time Stargazer, Dannic dives head first into the sea of progressive talent and finds himself waist-deep with the release of “Viper.”
