Ministry of Sound release new compilation, ‘The Sound of Dubstep Worldwide 4′
The Ministry of Sound have released their dubstep compilation album for 2013, titled The Sound of Dubstep Worldwide 4. This album is packed with 30 tracks from big names including Diplo, Professor Green, Sub Focus, Nero, and Andrew Bayer to say the least!
Overall, this album is fantastic, there’s something in it for every listener, regardless of which sub-genre of bass-heavy music you prefer. The Sound of Dubstep Worldwide 4 is a bottomless cocktail that attracts a lot of attention with its vibrant colors. With so many different production styles waiting to be unleashed at the listeners, you can be sure that so much dub is surely going to shatter your vertebrae soon enough. Flowing from hardcore bangers, to subtle drum & bass tunes, and back again seamlessly and easily, makes this album the perfect choice to throw on, it doesn’t matter what you’re doing. Spectacular flow, and the rush of adrenaline with bass heavy music shall make your knees go weak! Hard-core bassheads may not like the change ups in tempo, but like we mentioned, there’s something in it for everyone. The slower stuff is well paced, and makes for a refreshing breather, right up until the gritty sounds slaughter you again. All said and done, the diversity of artists and tracks chosen make this one a valuable addition to your album collection. Get it here via iTunes, and check out the mini mix above!

Nero – Into The Past
Throwback Thursday
1st time I saw Nero Live at Webster Hall 2/18/2011
Sorry guys it has been 2 weeks since my last Throwback Thursday as I had midterms and then lost power for a week due to Hurricane Sandy. Speaking of the hurricane, I would like to just take a moment to thank the myriad workers that came from all across our great nation of America to help clean up and restore power to the thousands of homes that were left without power for days. My house did not have power for 6 nights, 6 nights that helped me reflect on how much we take technology for granted which I will never do again in my life. Since I haven’t been able to post in the previous two weeks, I will be giving you guys a Post-Halloween treat by sharing with you guys the most underrated and my personal favorite EDM duo NERO. Dan Stephens and Joseph Ray are usually accompanied by the beautiful lyricist Alanna Watson to compose Nero. Most of Nero’s music falls under the dubstep category but not the dubstep that sounds like two Robot’s getting it on in robotic bed. Their music clearly has heavy rock n’ roll influences and is definitely something different from the other Dj/producers that have been covered in previous Throwback Thursdays. The group only has one studio album out called “Welcome Reality” which was released August 15, 2011. I like to compare their album to Kanye West’s “Graduation” as each song in the album has the makings of a hit single and you can listen to the album over and over again and not get bored of it whatsoever.
Innocence -
Every Throwback Thursday I like to post one of the group’s earliest productions, in this case it is “Innocence” which is a classic Nero tune. Like most of their songs, the beat is accompanied by vocals, and like most songs it is Alanna Watson behind the mic. I quite frankly am confused by the music video but it should not affect what you think of the song, which is an ageless masterful composition.
My Eyes -
Just another Nero Throwback from “Welcome Reality” that features the vocals from Alanna. You really can’t go wrong with any song from this album but I was absolutely shocked to see that this only have 348,000 views when Justin Beiber songs have 17,00,000+ million views. By no means am I degrading his music, since I firmly believe that every human being is entitled to whatever they personally desire to hear, but I am a firm believer that this deserves way more attention from the public than what it is actually getting.
Reaching Out -
I wanted to share with you guys a song with vocals that was not sung by the gorgeous Alanna Watson. This song was sung by a male singer named Daryl Hall. This is another classic Nero style tune that has vocals accompanying the build up which eventually leads to a heavy drum and synth drop. What I really like about this song that not many EDM songs have is an actual GUITAR SOLO towards the end of the song which I find very unique and by now I hope you guys know that in my opinion; the only way to be successful in this industry is to stand out and be unique.
Promises -
There is no way I could do a Nero article without posting arguably my favorite song of all time. Everybody loves the Skrillex Remix of this tune but I find that drop to be a generic Skrillex drop and at the end of the day no remix can replace the beauty of the original.
Nero is an underrated group but I promise you that if you give them a try you will really fall in love with them. If you liked these songs, you should check out some other songs by them including “Guilt”, “Me & You”, “Fugue State”, “Crush on You”, “”Must be the Feeling”, and “Electron.” Once again I must inform you all to listen to these songs on bumping surround sound speakers and to rage safely no matter where or what you are doing.
Nero – Won’t You (Be There)
The well established dubstep act, Nero, bring us a brand new bass heavy melody. With Alana Watson’s vocals being as crisp as ever, Nero deliver their signature wobbles that follow her looped vocals. A very similar setup as Promises, which has been a huge hit in the dubstep world. I cant help but nod my head at my desk, somehow still being able to resist fist pumping. Offering it up as a free download right before they re-release their massive album Welcome Reality, Nero is preparing to go on tour and will be hitting the East Coast of the US later this year. Another one of my favorites is their remix of Justice – Stress which is below.
