Revealed Recordings has once again expanded their already-impressive artists roster with the addition of Russian trio Swanky Tunes. Of course, their name is already recognizable, having formed in 1998, with highlights including a large collaboration with Tiësto, and plentiful releases on Spinnin’ Records and their own Showland Records imprint. Together with vocalist C. Todd Nielsen, Swanky Tunes created the track “Fire In Our Hearts,” which received its official radio debut last night on Hardwell On Air 165. Clearly, the Revealed Recordings catalog is becoming populated with huge stars, and that very same catalog is scheduled for some very big releases in May and June. “Fire In Our Hearts” will hit Beatport on May 12.

The ear-grabbing vocals of C. Todd Nielsen immediately start the first break of the preview. Underneath is the typical, mysterious chord play that has become a facet in any Swanky Tunes production. As the chorus comes in, the melody for the drop becomes audible out of the background. A huge bass impact marks the beginning of the 30-second buildup section, as that same melody is matched up with a snare pattern. When the drop comes around, it rocks a progressive house top line over the trademark grinding bassline that Swanky Tunes has perfected over their many years in the dance music industry.
