Bio:
When Revolvr pulls the trigger, you feel it. Revolvr a.k.a. Touvan Sughiarto officially entered the electronic music world in 2011. Collaborating with Donald Glaude, he dropped an incendiary and infectious remix of Scooter and Lavelle's "Beats Inside My Head" that set Beatport ablaze. Spreading like wildfire, "Beats Inside My Head" peaked at #2 on the site's Electro House Chart and #16 on the Overall Chart. Meanwhile, Tiesto added the track to his podcast and the live set of his mega-successful Club Life tour, exposing the remix to thousands nightly. It was Revolvr's first bona fide hit.Fast-forward to 2012, and the past year and half has been awash in one successful release after another. Every single track Revolvr released in 2011 and 2012 has reached the Beatport Top 100 chart, and his latest EP, "Two Worlds Apart [Big Fish Recordings], went on to demonstrate Revolvr’s dynamic range. The lead t rack “T oll Says No More” is a melodic yet energetic dubstep track with hypnotizing vocals from Majai. while the second track, “Make Me Want More is a peak hour energetic club track with vocals from Sue Cho.Then, there's Revolvr's remix of Morgan Page's "Body Work" [Featuring Tegan and Sara]. The track is part of Page's latest effort, In the Air, as a bonus cut and landed itself in the Top 10 on the iTunes Dance Chart. It also shows another side of the artist as he expands into a skittering dubstep groove. Other remix highlight s include a unique t ake on Luciana's "I'm St ill Hot ", which hit #1 on Billboard's Dance chart , his remix of Florence + the Machine's "You've Got Love" that landed at #1 spot on Hype Machine, and his Who Is Ready t o Jump (Revolvr Boot leg) t hat has received over 130,000 plays to date.On stage, his music really comes to life. Boasting a show comprised of mostly originals, he's played to packed crowds at Avalon (Los Angeles), Beta (Denver), Last Supper Club (Seattle), and a slew of summer festivals including Sunset Festival (Tampa), Sun City Music Festival (El Paso), Camp Bisco (New York), Stereoterra (Michigan) and the Pure White Party (Edmonton) alongside the likes of Avicii, Sander Van Doorn, and Gareth Emery. "I want to create an experience for people," he adds. "I like to see everyone jumping. My set is like a roller coaster. Everyone is along for an amazing ride."Ultimately, with a forthcoming EP featuring Lea Luna being released by Dim Mak in Fall of 2012, the ride is only going t o get even bigger and bet t er. He concludes, "I'd love for people to walk away feeling some sort of connection to the show or music. I hope the last thought they have is, 'I can't wait to hear that again'." — Rick Florino, February 2012
