Dannic

Daan Romers, known professionally as Dannic, was born on November 10, 1985, in Breda, Netherlands. His career began in 2009, gaining early recognition through a Dancetour remix competition for Funkerman, which featured his track ‘Automatic’ co-produced with Shermanology. Initially releasing music under the monikers Funkadelic and Brainless on Revealed Recordings, he adopted the name Dannic with the release of his track ‘Doster,’ to avoid confusion with the 1970s band Funkadelic.

Dannic’s career progressed with notable collaborations and chart appearances. He has worked with artists such as Hardwell, Dyro, and Sick Individuals, releasing music on labels including Revealed Recordings, Ultra, Maxximize, Spinnin’, and Armada Music. In 2013, he launched his radio show, ‘Front of House.’ His standing in the electronic music community was solidified by his consistent ranking in DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs, peaking at #26 in 2015. A significant milestone occurred in 2015 when he founded his own independent label, Fonk Recordings, named after his track ‘Fonk.’ This venture was established with the objective of supporting emerging artists, providing them with guidance and a platform for their work.

Over the years, Dannic has continued to release a steady stream of singles and EPs, including ‘Kontiki’ with Hardwell in 2012, ‘Dear Life’ featuring Bright Lights in 2014, and ‘Survivors’ with Hardwell and Haris in 2015. He has also produced numerous remixes for artists like Armin van Buuren and Alesso. His touring schedule includes performances at international venues and festivals, demonstrating his continued influence in the dance music industry. His music has been featured on Tomorrowland Music and he consistently returns to his podcast, the Fonk Monthly Mix.
