Salute to Nero: Not only did they back up the hype with their awesome album Between II Worlds on Friday… They also delivered a storming BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix.
Reflecting the scope and dynamic of their new album, the mix is multi-stranded, densely textured assault that provides an acute window into their musical world. Seamlessly comprising ambient, indie, techno, breakbeat, drum & bass, 80s pop, garage and house music, across the sense-arresting two hour mix they leave no genre unturned.
From Goldie’s Inner City Life to Underworld’s Rez to MJ Cole’s Sincere to Chris.SU’s remix of Bjork, this is an immense document… And it’s available on the BBC website for the next four weeks. Enjoy!
I miss old Nero, like ‘Promises’.
Me too. Some of their new stuff is ok, but some of it really sucks.
