Hurricane Sandy Left her Mark on EDM Boston Scene

Hurricane Sandy has came and made her mark on the Bay State.  In addition to the countless tree limbs, street signs, and power lines lost there was one major impact on the EDM scene in Boston.  The Nero show at Royale Night club was canceled.

While the artist is working with the promoters at Royale to reschedule the event, it can't be known when the show will be rebooked. There is potential for a date between November 11-December 26.

Why you ask? Because if you look at Nero's touring schedule there is a giant gap between their Show in Chile on November 11 and the Show on December 26 in Vancouver, with only one date taken for a Vegas gig on November 26.  Let us pray that the return visit comes that quickly!

Nero: Won't You Be There- New Dubstep [FREE DOWNLOAD]

By Lauren

Our boys Nero have just released a free track today on their facebook and Soundcloud. They say on their Facebook that the song was "a dancefloor tune we initially wrote to play out in our DJ sets, but we thought that while we work on our 2nd album we'd give it to you guys".
Here's to a huge thanks on Nero's part-- showing how proper music distribution should be done!

It's a heavy, very Nero-esque dubstep tune that flows like "Innocence", also by the British duo off their first album Welcome Reality. Perhaps this is a taste of what is to come on their new album? Do you expect to see similar song progressions or do you think Nero will be moving towards a different sound? Let us know.

Nero will be returning to Boston on December 15 at Royale!! Be sure to catch them as they are definitely a show worth seeing!

In the mean time, grab the song here or on their soundcloud.

Nero gives dubstep pop appeal at Royale || Boston Globe Article

(Globe) In the evolution of any sub-genre, as it lurches, protozoa-like, from the fetid puddles of cool onto the mainstream shore, it must inevitably assume some characteristics of pop. This is when the early adopters curse the cruel hand of musical Darwinism, and promptly abscond. For dubstep - that most emblematic cultural expression of contemporary youth - this moment has passed. As dubstep ambassadors to the pop arena go, you could do a lot worse than UK duo Nero; and a sold-out DJ set by Nero’s Joe Ray at Royale on Thursday illustrated that the transition process was in able hands.

Bouncing around in front of his knobs in whatever sort of conjuring-sleight it is that DJs do, Ray led the crowd through a set that leaned heavily on the duo’s recent apocalypse-themed record “Welcome Reality’’ - although the show may have only seemed like the end of the world to the parents of a clubbing teenager.

I don't even know where to begin with this Globe piece.  Partly due to the fact Royale shut EDMBoston out and then there's credibility issues with the Globe reporting on a Dubstep show.  We're baffled.

The goal of EDMBoston is to build the EDM community in the Bay State and new England.  This means keeping everyone informed and well educated on whats happening in the EDM community.  And we intend to do just that.  Here is some raw footage from the Royale Show of Nero "Promises"

If anyone else has any footage they'd like to share, send it in and well give you a shout out
