Nero
The Thrill (Porter Robinson Remix)

Following his Worlds Tour, it’s been a while since Porter Robinson came out with new music. To our surprise, he premiered this epic remix of Nero‘s “The Thrill” at Coachella last Friday and turned up the heat even more at the desert. The 22-year-old prodigy sampled Alana Watson‘s vocals on top of some classic Porter maneuvers, creating beautiful melodies and fusing them with glitchy synths. The cadenced synth melodies manage to keep the track breathtaking, moving and epic, as it is closed out with some simple and pretty keys. The style of the remix resembles something off of Worlds.

It’s no surprise that Porter’s originality and relevance make him one of the frontrunners in the electronic scene. It’s creative minds like his that keep the ball rolling for today’s music. Take a listen to this brand new track as Porter Robinson once again proved that genres don’t matter.

Shortly after premiering their latest single on Annie Mac’s radio show, Nero have officially released “The Thrill.” The UK veterans have continued to remain a relevant force in electronic music mixing the heavenly voice of Alana Watson with melodic electro and intense bass breakdowns.”The Thrill” carries on that sound bringing the vocals to the forefront before building into an infectious bass-heavy chorus. We don’t have much details yet on what they’ve got in the works for 2015 but this one’s a great sign if it’s any indication of what’s to come.

The Great Gatsby continues to astonish us with each and every new release from its soundtrack. Amongst names like Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Florence + The Machine, and Lana Del Rey, Nero definitely sticks out like a sore thumb. However, the UK trio proves they more than belong with that collection of heavyweights through their latest effort. The group temporarily leaves their dubstep roots behind to bring us a gorgeous, illustrious landscape with looming, ominous undertones on “Into The Past.” Alanna Watson‘s labored breathing coupled with her haunting and elegant vocals is what really sets the tone for the piece. The group had this to say about the shaping of the sound, and the tune’s central themes:

One of the cues we’d written then developed into a full original song [“Into the Past”], with vocals from Alana. It’s based around one of the central themes of the story, that of memory and Gatsby’s drive to reshape past events.

If you’d like to learn more about how this song came to life, be sure to check out Nero’s exlusive interview with Billboard. Stay tuned for future updates from this outstanding soundtrack, and make sure to grab yourself a copy when it drops on May 7th.

Nero’s latest eargasm “Won’t You (Be There)” is certifiably epic, solidifying the English duo’s position as being one of the premier electronic acts to date. Alana Watson’s piercing, powerful voice coupled with powerful, destructive chop is nothing short of brilliant execution and production. Brooklyn-based producer Baauer premiered this insane trap remix of the single on Annie Mac’s BBC Radio 1 show, and it KILLS. Baauer storms Nero’s scene by obliterating the vocals and ramping up the filth to create a slick remix that is sure to become a staple in many a DJ’s sets. Check it, ninjas.

[Trap Anthem] Nero – Won’t You Be There (Club Cheval Remix)

Posted by Max Mayeri - October 14, 2012

Nero‘s track, “Won’t You Be There” is one of the biggest Dubstep tracks of the year. Club Cheval decided that they turn it into a one of the funkiest and filthiest Trap songs to hit the blogosphere in a while. Bringing an incredibly infectious melody featuring some squeaky wobbles backed up with a massive bass line. This is a rip from Skream & Benga‘s show on BBC Radio 1. Cheers.
