Friction

Known to his peers as the ‘Dj’s Dj’, SKisM’s technical prowess and energy on four decks has cemented his name as one of the busiest and most electrifying DJ’s on the circuit, and has seen him continually tour the globe over the past 5 years. His mixes gain almost as much, if not more attention than his tracks, and his inimitable ‘Double Drop’ style whips dance floors into a frenzy wherever he plays. As a scene leader, SKisM is constantly pushing things forward through his award winning record label Never Say Die Records. Both the founding father and sole A&R, he has brought some of the most exciting artists in bass music to the masses such as Zomboy, Eptic, MUST DIE! and rising star LAXX (with whom he collaborated with on his most recent Beatport chart topping single ‘Hostile’).

From a rural German town to playing stages around the world, Michael Schlechtinger – also known as Blooom, has had a meteoric rise. His journey began at an incredibly formative age: from fifteen, he immersed himself in electronic music, despite not even being allowed to enter club spaces yet. And whilst many of his counterparts have stories of finding a love for dance music through family ties, it was his own interests that drove him headfirst into the intricacies of music production.

From remixing Michael Jackson to working with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra to producing some of Example’s biggest hits… Nero have achieved so much so far it’s difficult to know where to start. Their roots that can be traced back to the early 2000s with drum & bass slammers on Reformed Records but the trio really shot to fame with their dubstep bombs on MTA Records as tracks like Innocence, Me And You and Promises pushed the genre further and further into the popular conscious. Their album Welcome Reality compounded their creative abilities and more than proved their musical might… They’re currently on a full media blackout and total studio lockdown until their follow up album drops later this year. We can’t wait to hear it.
