Launched in September 2009, "" was created with the goal to introduce artists to the mainstream public. “I try to give these artists — which I find either by research, coincidence or recommendation — the exposure they deserve,” states Dennaoui.

"Re-Volt" all came together as a result of numerous reservations in my mind about mainstream music and how it was lacking in either awareness, or cause.” Recognizing the potential of the Internet, Dennaoui saw the blog as “the perfect vessel” to transmit his thoughts.

“The FM Radio is a complex business due to materialistic factors. Some artists do not get a chance to be on, thereby not heard by the public. Re-Volt's goal is an attempt to enlighten and elevate the minds of listeners and give them a varied choice of what is really out there.”

The name, "Re-Volt," is a combination Dennaoui came up with that fuses together ‘revolution’ and ‘voltage.’ It relates to his mantra of 'Music Revolution, Music Liberation.' You can ‘Re-Volt’ using a mic, your voice, or a poem,” explains Dennaoui.

Although many of the artists Dennaoui interviews are from a hip hop background, he insists that "Re-Volt" is not hip hop based. “I personally got into Hip-Hop simply because it is a genre that I feel is misrepresented by everything that's going on — from the rappers using money, women and talking about nothing significant.”

Dennaoui believes hip hop is an ideal mode for expression and should be used to convey and transfer certain messages. “My passion for hip hop was elevated when I actually met and interviewed top heads of Arabic hip hop; I felt the connection to what they are saying and what they are after.”

Dennaoui believes that Arabs have a lot to communicate to the world, whether it’s political, or social. “Arabic hip hop is merging and it’s definitely mind-elevating just listening to what the artists are saying. It’s more than just music: it’s a movement," explains Dennaoui. “Sometimes their songs are more than just a song; it’s a message that we as Arabs should support.”

Through his mission to scout the best underground — or non-commercial talent, Dennaoui has discovered many hidden gems. “Through creativity and uniqueness, these hidden talents sometimes showcase genres that are either altered or just completely different from what we know and listen to in the mainstream.” Many of the artists live in a state of Diaspora, and thus, possess strong sentiments that summarize the plight of many of these Arab nations. “There is no doubt that the outcome of such situations is fruitful cultural-enriched messages, or stories to tell. Their music has no limits,” he states.

Dennaoui is lucky in that he is doing what he loves: music. “I am really passionate about music and I think people notice when you are passionate about something,” reveals Dennaoui. “My passion reflects my credibility, which enhances and attracts listeners. People seek truth, originality and diversity.”

His advice to the emerging generation of music-makers: “Do not try and copy the West or foreigners in how they are communicating their message. As Arabs, we have much to say and if you stick to it, you will be loved.” Be confident, Dennaoui insists. “We do not lack skills, talent or ability to express ourselves. Nothing should stop youth from laying it out there. But, most importantly, we need to stay unique and be original.”

Dennaoui has had the honor of interviewing some of Arabic hip hop industry leaders. Below are some of key players who he truly admirers and applauds their talents.
