Nero: Excellent DJ Set
by atyouwanttobe on 10/29/12Manhattan Center Hammerstein Ballroom - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5With a total of 5 different acts, this DJ Set including Alex English as the opener, an awesome rendition by Lindsey Sinclair of her Dubstep Violin internet sensation, as well as Adventure Club and a Solo DJ Set by one member of Nero with Alana on vocals. Excellent beats keeping it uptempo for the majority of the night, with Nero djing mostly his own tunes, yet including a sample of "Devil's Den" by Skrillex. Nero's BPMs were a bit slow in comparison to the other DJs, but provided an excellent parallel to the rest of the show. Alana singing on some her hits, especially Promises, added more ambiance and atmosphere to the set, well-fitting the Halloween theme. Speaking of which, great costumes helped enhance the pit, with some light moshing and great jumping around. The light show was also amazing, with a Nuclear Power-dedicated stage set-up, drawing comparison to the end of the world which Nero likes to reference so much. Overall, a great time, with diverse acts all compelling you to dance your butt off.
