When it comes to bridging the gaps between dubstep, drum and bass and house – British duo Nero are doing a bloody good job. Appearing on the BBC sound of 2011 list, the duo picked up a lot of momentum in 2010, releasing plenty of bass filled tracks and touring the world, leading to a lot of critical acclaim. Real names Dan Stephens & Joe Ray, the boys have been pounced on by Chase n Status who have popped them on their label MTA (More Than A Lot) who will releasing Nero’s new album ‘Welcome Reality’ on May 15th.

This track is quite simply huge and it features the perfectly suited vocals of Alana who seems to be Nero’s vocalist of choice as she’s appeared on quite a few of their heavyweight tracks & remixes. Be sure to pick up the full version on 24th April on iTunes

Nero’s acceptance in the BBC sound of 2011 longlist is a sign of the times, following in the footsteps of commercial titans Chase & Status and Magnetic Man. And whilst the commercial world has long been aware of dubstep, drum and bass and house, it seems that critical acclaim is finally catching up with the times.

Althoguh the London based duo are famed for their imaginative remixes, latest single “Innocence” provides proof in spades that they have the grit to go down dirty with their own material. As the first of their material to chart, they have taken a significant step in fulfilling the hopes and expectations as one of the acts to watch next year.

“Me And You” is the next release on the horizon, although there is still very little indication of when we can expect their debut LP.
