Nero (band)

Nero are a British dubstep/drum and bass trio from London.

Biography

Initially consisting of just two musicians, the band was joined by vocalist Alana Watson in 2008. The two producers Daniel Stephens and Joseph Ray had their first success in 2008 with the dubstep hit This Way and with a remix of Blinded by the Lights by The Streets, which became a radio and club hit. This was followed by further remixes for well-known artists such as La Roux, Deadmau5, Daft Punk and Beyoncé.

From 2005 onwards, they also produced and released their own songs. In 2010, they won two Beatport Awards in the dubstep category for Act Like You Know. In the same year they joined Chase & Status' label MTA and caused further sensation with their first release Innocence. In late 2010, they were among the nominees for the BBC's Sound of 2011 poll, which gave them further popularity. Following this, their second single Me and You entered the official UK charts at number 15 in early 2011. The trio also produced a remix for the remake of the computer game Syndicate, and the song was featured in the co-op trailer as well as the finished game.
