"Lullaby Lonely" was included in the "State Of Trance 2013" compilation, [3] "Ashes" was included in the A State of Tranсe 2015 compilation, [4] and several tracks were also included in the Vocal Trance Hits - The Best of 2016 compilation. [5] The unofficial clip for his "Run Away" song is currently the Denis' highest viewed video with a one million views. [6]

In the summer of 2016, he launched his own Denis Kenzo Recordings label.
