Dannic 

Biography

• Dannic (born November 10, 1987) is the stage and recording name of Daan Romers, a Dutch DJ and record producer, hailing from Breda, Netherlands.

  Born in the Dutch city of Breda, Dannic grew up listening to the sounds of his grandfather’s record collection from the age of seven. Determined to pursue music as a career, Dannic first became known for a string of hard-hitting mashups, and through honing his skills at clubs and festivals. In 2009 the DJ won the Dancetour DJ contest and subsequently played his productions to an audience of 10,000 people. With the exposure this afforded the Dutchman, Dannic released his debut solo track “Doster” on Revealed Recordings in 2012. The song earned support from heavy-weights Hardwell and Nicky Romero, and led to Dannic collaborating with Hardwell on the track “Kontiki”.

  Issued on Toolroom Records in early 2013, Dannic released the track “Clobber”, which became a staple track for DJs during the WMC. Utilising his close partnership with Hardwell’s Revealed Recordings, Dannic supported label showcases at the Amsterdam Dance Event and the sell-out Reveal Recordings Canadian Bus Tour – which attends Canada’s biggest clubs. Dannic subsequently released the tacks “Viper”, “Ignite”, “Rocker” and “Blueprint” in 2013 all of which received regular club rotation. Having been voted the 74th best DJ in the world by 2013 DJ Mag, Dannic shot up the ranking in 2014 by charting at No. 30. The move highlighted the DJ and producer’s move from being a hotly-tipped up-and-coming DJ, to a revered staple of modern dance music.

  With the first half of 2014 dedicated to wowing audiences at Digital Dreams in Canada, Tomorrowland in Belgium, Creamfields in the UK, and a host of other festivals across the world, Dannic also collaborated with the likes of Bright Lights, Merk & Kremont, best friend Dyro, TV Noise, and Shermanology. The DJ began 2015 with the track “Survivors” alongside Hardwell, and released the remix EP “Wait For You”.
