Welcome Reality

Their single "Promises" stormed straight to the top of the UK charts, while WELCOME REALITY did the same, debuting in the U.K. at #1 and rapidly reaching Gold status across the pond. Nero's indie/dubstep hybrid smash ME AND YOU REMIX EP is available digitally now, and features a never- before released brand new remix of "Me And You" by Steve Angello of Swedish House Mafia, plus a Skrillex remix of "Promises" that has over 3 million plays on YouTube and has not been available for sale in the US until now. "Me and You' charted at number 15 in the UK, was the most played record on Radio 1 for three weeks in a row and is now the first U.S. single from WELCOME REALITY.

"We wanted to make a dance album that takes you on a journey," reveals Dan, "with segues and a sense of flow from beginning to end." "It's the sort of album we'd have loved as kids," adds Joe, who admits that the benchmarks for WELCOME REALITY as a coherent, near-conceptual piece of work were Radiohead's OK Computer, Daft Punk's Discovery and Marvin Gaye's What's Going On. "We wanted it to sound memorable but not dated," says Dan. "Some albums are very `now' but won't be relevant in a year. We want ours to last."

Mission accomplished. In fact, fully expect WELCOME REALITY to rip the roof off a club and/or do damage to whatever the future version of your bedroom stereo will be in, at the very least, the year 2808.

With a live show not to be missed, the musical storm of Nero's set with its thunderous dubstep bass, whirlwind drum'n'bass and hail of house rhythms, lightning flashes of rave synths, squall of orchestra, and occasional showers of guitar is truly epic. With nominations from BBC's Sound of 2011, XFM's Sound of 2011, and Music Week's Top 15, Nero have also won several awards including 2010's Beatport Awards for Best Dubstep Act and Best Dubstep Track for "Act Like you Know." The duo spent their summer performing on all the major UK music festivals including Glastonbury, Bestival, Reading, and Wireless, and still found the time to produce remixes for The Streets, La Roux, deadmau5, N*E*R*D and Daft Punk.
