If you’ve never experienced a NERO set live, look no further than this original DA video to show you what you’re missing. Shot at Ruby Skye in San Francisco, you’ll get a glimpse at the craziness that comes along with a show by the UK dubstep juggernaut. This video won’t actually make up for seeing a NERO show for yourselves, but it’ll be primo material for convincing your friends to go with you next time they’re in town. We’ll stop occupying your time, so just hit play on the video above and get your womp-womp on.
Sigma gives Rusko’s latest single, “Somebody To Love,” the full treatment with their killer drum and bass remix. The only official remix of the track, Sigma’s effort provides an interesting adaption to Rusko’s original. The core essence of the track remains the same, yet it’s layered over a banging DnB bassline to give it a completely new look. We love it, Annie Mac loves it, and we think you will too!

The two young Swedes who delivered fantastic remixes of Coldplay’s “The Scientist“ & Tove Stryke’s “Call My Name” are back with an original work this time. “Roll The Dice” features their signature driving synth sound and is a straight up progressive bomb. These two producers’ talent has not gone unnoticed as they have been picked up to EMI/Virgin and we predict bright things for them in 2012. Out on February 9th, this is one you don’t want to miss.
Sebjak remixes Style Of Eye and Magnus The Magnus’ track “Antidote,” which came out last year. It has a deeper and darker sound than the original, but it still keeps a high level of funkiness. The track is set to release on Horehaus Records (funny name), although no exact date has been given. If you like Sebjak’s sound check out his remix of “Signification” that came out last week. If you love the blend between tech and progressive peruse through Sebjak’s SoundCloud in order to get your aural filling. Dancing Astronaut will bring you the full version shortly.
If you’ve been looking for another mix to get you through the day, check out the latest episode of Nervo Nation that the Australian duo just posted to its SoundCloud. The hour-long show has a good mix of popular tracks and new ones, not to mention a solid Nervo / Nicky Romero mashup of the month in the form of “Toulouse is Irresistible.” If the music alone isn’t enough to sway you, there’s also an interview with Michael Woods — which of course means you get to hear Mim and Liv’s hypnotic Australian accents too. Unfortunately there’s no download option, but stream your heart out on SoundCloud.
Every so often a track is released that is so infectiously feel-good even the dubstep fans among us can’t help but get caught up in the euphoria — “The Rain” is one of those tracks. Olav Basoski effortlessly combines a driving bass line with silky smooth vocals. As the track builds so does the energy, culminating in the perfect synergy of space-age synths and hard-hitting kicks.
If you’ve got a soft spot for female vocals and disco beats, be sure to grab this one on BeatPort.

Tech house legend Umek does his best Afrojack impression with the bleepy, bouncy “Freak it Out.” It’s endearing, energetic, and in classic Umek style, will probably have you tapping your right big toe even if you’re in absolutely no mood to expend any kinetic energy. Watching the lovable Slovenian perform is an absolute treat. Every build and break comes with a natural ease, and while you’ll probably be fist-pumping by the end of his set, you’re allowed to take your own sweet time to get there. Umek was a standout performer at Escape from Wonderland 2011, and we can’t wait to hear him drop “Freak it Out” live.

Nicky Romero just posted this preview on his SoundCloud a few minutes ago and the response has already been overwhelmingly positive. If you are a sucker for piano house, then you will be blasting “Wild Ones” nonstop: the uplifting synths and distortions in the background make this song an absolute joy to listen to on high volume. We are grateful that we don’t have to wait an inordinate amount of time for the release, as it will hit Beatport in just a week. Does Nicky Romero have any other collaborations under his sleeve after “Wild Ones” and his track with Avicii come out? Stay tuned to find out!
Ian Carey and Rosette team up with Timbaland (you should know who he is) and Brasco to create a hard hitting electro pop tune called “Amnesia.” The drop features a few of the standard bleeps that were part of the quintessential Dutch house track in the early part of 2010. There are a ton of remixes in this package, but a few of the notables are Cazzette, Ziggy Stardust, and Firebeatz renditions. Let’s go through them below, but first listen to the original version.

Quintino is prepped for an onslaught on 2012. He recently released “The One And Only” and quickly follows it up with “We Gonna Rock.” If you are into robotic sounds (a little Daft Punk-esque) with some serious power, this track is a must listen. We’ve noticed that Q (we are going to make this his official nickname) has a variety of styles. Look back on his previous tracks such as “Selecta” and his remix of “Marry The Night.” There is one thing that is consistent with all his productions – they will surely keep your fists pumping till the wee hours of morning.
