Robin Schulz started making music in 2007, at the age of 20. At an early age, Schulz developed a love for electronic music beginning to mix and create sets in his adolescence. He was initially inspired by the likes of Richie Hawtin, Sven Väth, MANDY and Booka Shade, incorporating tracks by these artists into his mixes. Between 2007-2009, Schulz became involved with the local party series, known as “Electro Snippets,” helping to develop his own ideas. His initial creations were minimalist affairs, although as his experience developed, he moved towards a deep house/tech house sound. Other influences include Todd Terry, Armand Van Helden, Roger Sanchez and Tiesto.
In creating his music, Schulz often uses FL Studio and his Edirol PCR-300 MIDI keyboard, produced using Ableton Live 8. In 2013, he remixed the track, “Waves,” by Dutch hip hop artist Mr Pobs, which went on to be a huge hit. It reached the top spot of the German, Austrian, Norway, Swedish, Swiss and UK charts, as well as reaching the top ten in seven other countries. It was certified Gold and Platinum in several countries.
He returned in 2014 with another successful remix, of Lilly Wood & The Prick’s track, “Prayer in C,” from their 2010 album, “Invincible Friends.” “Prayer in C” topped the charts in several European countries and was a massive dance-floor hit, reaching number one in Germany, Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Ireland, as well as several others. His debut album, “Prayer,” was released in September 2014, reaching the top ten in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and in the US Dance Chart.
They've already supported Britney Spears on the US leg of her 2011 ‘Femme Fatale’ arena tour, performed at festivals across the globe and been invited by electronic music masterminds Ministry of Sound to compile their own ‘Inspired’ mix, and they’re only getting bigger.
The sisters grew up listening to influential electronic artists such as Fatboy Slim and Basement Jaxx and dreamed of one day producing music like their heroes. Since Sony/ATV Music Publishing recognized their talent and signed them at the age of 18, the pair have enjoyed an astonishing rise to fame in the world of pop music and in the club scene. As a song writing team NERVO have worked with a number of artists including Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Kesha, The Pussycat Dolls, Cheryl Cole and even one of the biggest names in pop, Kylie Minogue.
Their success really began to skyrocket when they co-wrote the 2009 chart-topping hit ‘When Love Takes Over’ with David Guetta and Kelly Rowland, which won Guetta a Grammy and was pronounced Billboard’s number one dance/pop collaboration ever in 2013. This huge achievement led to them getting an artists’ contract with Virgin/EMI Music in 2010 and subsequently releasing a number of their own singles, such as 2011's ‘We’re All No One’ (feat. Afrojack and Steve Aoki) which made the top spot on the UK club charts and 2012’s ‘You’re Gonna Love Again’.
NERVO continue to lend their unique style and personal touch to music and fashion and are highly sought-after names in entertainment. In an industry as notoriously male-dominated as electronic music, their ascent to stardom is nothing short of inspiring, and has rightly earned them millions of fans worldwide.
This guys house music is deeeeeep. He fits right in with the popular house cadets that have taken over the charts.
And live he is like no other. I'm not slating MK because he has done extremely well to get to where he now is, on every Kiss playlist going...Whereas Robin Schulz really puts 110% into his live work. He keeps the crowd going for a full hour thirty set which is a difficult task. Whats better is that he is playing live on News years eve...I mean NYE! That's crazy! He is working on New years eve in the later hours and the early hours of New Years Day no doubt. That right there is dedication and proves that he loves to perform live, it's the best perk of the job.
If you can get tickets to see him on NYE then bravo my friends, you are in for the best New years of your lives. If not then try your hardest to see him live anywhere else. Listen to his Live @ Mayday 2014 mix on youtube when your getting ready to go out and everyone will be in the best party mood.
I never really knew much about the Nervo twins because at the time I was still new to the rave scene and my friends just told me about them coming to town. Thus I decided to spontaneously buy Gold Meet & Greet tickets to their show with the Belgian Duo Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike.
Best. Decision. Ever. Prior to their show, I obviously did my research and found out that they’re Australians from Melbourne and the first track I listened to was their collaboration track "The Way We See The World" with Afrojack, Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike – which was also the Anthem for Tomorrowland 2011.
I had the great opportunity to meet Mim and Liv when they performed in Cape Town at the Sideshow, which has also hosted other great DJs like R3hab. They’re so down to earth and even complimented me for my sense of style, which I’m still giddy about to this day. What I really love about them as artists is that they use their own vocals for their tracks most of the time and that truly makes their sets unique and lively. They do a lot of mixes of the latest songs as well since they’ve mostly released a large amount of singles and haven’t made an album yet. I would not mind seeing these girls again.
