Loyal Family and the Columbian Dubstep Cartel proudly present:
~NERO~
(MTA/Circle)
NERO have become a big name in both the Drum and Bass and Dubstep scenes, often fusing both styles of music in their DJ sets. They started with DnB, joining DJ SS's Formation Records in the Summer of 2004. Since then Dan and Joe's tracks have caused quite a stir, gaining huge support from DJs like Andy C, Grooverider and Friction, as well as radio airplay from Zane Lowe, Jo Whiley, Pete Tong, Annie Mac, Rob Da Bank, Steve Lamacq and Fabio & Grooverider, to name just a few.
In June 2006 Nero released their acclaimed EP, "Requiem EP" on Formation Records. The EP featured 4 top tracks, Requiem, Bitch I'm Gone, Autopsy and Bad For the Brain. High Contrast included Bitch I'm Gone in his mix for the legendary Fabric Live series, Fabric Live 25.
2009 saw Nero's first release on iconic label Breakbeat Kaos. The killer track 'Act Like You Know', backed with Sound in Motion and a dubstep edit of the title track, has been hitting dancefloors across the world for the last year and was picked up by Fresh and Adam F.
Onto Dubstep.... Nero's debut dubstep release, 'This Way', became one of the biggest dubstep tunes of 2008 and is still selling big units across the world. Since then, Nero's consistent releases have made them one of the most talked about acts in dubstep. Their remix of the Streets' tune 'Blinded by the Lights' was a massive radio hit as well as a dancefloor smasher played by DJ's from Chase and Status and Skream to Tiesto and Diplo. More recently Nero have remixed La Roux and Deadmau5 to devastating effect.
The boy's DJing career has also taken off this year, October saw an intensive gigging schedule which included supporting Deadmau5, Chase & Status and Zane Lowe on their UK tours.
They recently won the 2010 Beatport awards for best Dubstep Act and Best Dubstep Track for "Act Like You Know".
Nero are currently working on their debut album signed exclusively to Chase & Status' label MTA ... watch this space!

~Dr. Awkward~
(Columbian Dubstep Cartel)
A.k.a. Nick Meyer, The awkward doc first touched turntables about a year and a half ago, and hasn't looked back since. The year of playing live has made Nick a hometown favorite, and allowed him to share the stage with some of the biggest names in electronic music today... Vaski, Siren, DZ, HD4000, Ill Gates, plus Datsik and Dieselboy in the near future, just to name a few. His passion for different types of music outside the electronic scene, be it blues guitar, underground hip-hop, or classical piano, lends a sound, flow, and emotion to his shows that is quite rare in the dubstep scene. Keep an eye out... Things could get awkward...
