Nero

Dubstep
DubstepElectronicSynth-pop

Nero is a Dubstep and Electronic act. Their catalogue also touches Synth-pop. Their sound grew out of Daft Punk, Dirtyphonics, Datsik, RL Grime and deadmau5. Those roots explain a lot about how Nero arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Knife Party, Rusko, Kill the Noise, Grafix and Zomboy, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Zeds Dead, Oliver Tree, The Big Mash Up, Porter Robinson and Baauer, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 40 connections around Nero, reaching back through Daft Punk and forward to Zeds Dead.
