Dubstep’s wobbly grip on the South Florida music scene has been cemented in recent months as the genre has crept out of the club scene and into larger concert venues. Major bass artists have been no stranger to either the Fillmore Miami Beach or Revolution Live, and this Friday’s show at the latter continues the trend. Headlining duo Nero is one of the hottest acts in the UK right now, with a crossover-friendly take on the genre. Boasting a background in drum ‘n’ bass, the pair has a special skill for infusing dubstep’s slower tempos with kinetic energy. Unabashedly arena-reaching synth washes and frequent, vaguely helium-inflated vocals give Nero’s best tracks a giddy, euphoric old-school rush.
