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.
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.
