Nicky Romero – Generation 303

Arguably this years biggest EDM star already, Nicky Romero has been prolific in his output of consistently brilliant remixes, edits and remixes. Kicking it all off was last years most bootlegged tracked, Romero’s remix of Flash, by Green Velvet. He followed that up with his first major original release on Calvin Harris’ Fly Eye Records, with the title we all know well now, Camorra. At this point, people really began to sit up and take notice of this young Dutchman, who followed up Camorra with major remixes of David Guetta and Usher’s Without You, and then Alesso’s Titanium. He capped off an already outstanding 2011 with another original track, arriving at our ears under the title Toulouse. Combining his anthemic and euphoric synths with hard, electro drops, Romero was quickly making a name for himself. 2012 is already set to be Nicky’s year: pop-house legend David Guetta has already tweeted excitedly about the bangers he’s been cooking up with Romero in my hometown, London. Furthermore, the recently re-named NickTim (previously known as Fuck School), which saw Romero collaborate with man of the moment Avicii, is set for release any time soon, and is looking already to be a massive record which will undoubtedly destroy dancefloors throughout 2012.

So, here’s Nicky Romero’s latest offering, featuring a classic Schoolly D sample made famous by The Chemical Brother‘s track Block Rockin’ Beats that leads in to a huge drop courtesy of some massive techno-inspired bass lines, very similar to Kendo by Nari & Milani, and Yeah! by Boyz Noize, that confirms Romero’s status as THE young up-and-coming producer to watch out for this year.
