Nero Keep the New Music Coming With Electrifying Edit of Genesis’ “Mama”
Last month, legendary trio Nero kicked off a string of edit releases with a massive rework of Daft Punk’s “Emotion.” The electronic outfit didn’t slow down after that, releasing edits at random intervals throughout the month thereafter, including a take on Tame Impala’s “Disciples” and classic 80s track “Relax” by Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Now, the next Nero bootleg is here, and it’s glorious. Travelling back even further in time for an edit of the Phil Collins-era Genesis, Nero’s version of “Mama” refreshes a nearly 40- year old song with a clean 2021 sheen. In classic Nero fashion, a dark and synth-driven production provides a nearly cyberpunk atmosphere that fits the trio’s aesthetic perfectly.&nbs...

Listen to Nero’s New Remix of Iconic 1983 Song “Relax”
There’s an escalating output of new music from the elusive Nero trio. The group has just dropped their third remix within a week. Prior to their latest run of releases, the group had remained dark for two years. It’s no secret that 80s era sonics and aesthetics have played a substantial role in shaping the Nero we know today. For their latest remix, the trio put a new spin on one of the decade’s most recognizable hits, Frankie Goes to Hollywood‘s 1984 hit “Relax.” While it’s clear from the outset this is a Nero remix based on the sweeping textures, punchy kicks, and robotic basses, Nero is careful to build ample suspense before truly throwing listeners for a loop. As Holly Johnson calls out in earnest, “Hit me with your laser b...

Just one day after returning from a two-year-plus hiatus with a Daft Punk remix, legendary electronic music trio Nero have struck again.

Nero dialed up the energy, implementing a four-on-the-floor rhythm and soaring brass elements for a dazzling electronic rendition. They also noted that they used to play an older version of the remix in their shows back in 2016. After two consecutive releases in as many days, fans are now safe to expect more ne...

Nero’s edit of “Emotion” is nothing short of breathtaking.
