NERVO, R3hab, and Ummet Ozcan premiere music video for ‘Revolution’

Hot of the heels of their world wide smash hit “Revolution,” The Gift duo NERVO alongside R3hab and Ummet Ozcan are keeping the momentum with some visual stimulation.

Back in November, the Aussie sisters had an open casting call in Los Angeles looking for 10 and 15 fans to be extras in the music video. Premiering on Dancing Astronaut, the official music video for “Revolution” is a great accompaniment to the Beatport chart-topping hit. The selected fans joined the four artists in a desert showdown between some hologram infantrymen. By the end of the video, you’ll definitely want to start a revolution.

Nerd Rage drops Horns Up EP on Subhuman

Nerd Rage has had a very eventful year turning out originals and remixes left and right with tracks like “Power Treaty” and OCTiV’s “Fatality.” So it comes as no surprise that he would close out 2013 with a bang – or some bangers.

Out on the Subhuman imprint, Nerd Rage released two high energy tracks on the Horns Up EP. The title track “Horns Up (The Movement)” is relentless often changing between drumstep and drum and bass. Ridden with rock and metal influences, “Horns Up” needs to be played loud. The second track “Yeah Right” switches the tempo to 128 BPM but never relinquishes any intensity. With bleeps and 8-bits soaked in the in-your-face tune, this song does not disappoint.

Grab the Horns Up EP today – we bet you’ll hear it when Nerd Rage performs at The Gift.
