PREVIEW: The Countdown to Club MTV at Ebrington
Following on from last year’s successful MTV Crashes event, the guys are back this month for a one off Club MTV special in Ebrington Square. Square.
Headlining this year’s event in front of 13,000 dance fans will be Nervo. Sister’s Mim and Liv Nervo are the all-time top-ranking female DJs in the world and No. 21 on DJ Magazine’s influential 2014 ‘Top 100 DJs’ poll.
The sisters career really took off when in 2009 they co-wrote and produced with David Guetta and Kelly Rowland the global hit ‘When Love Takes Over’ which was ranked by Billboard as the No.1 dance/pop collaboration of all time. They were also involved in several other songs for major artists such as Kesha, Kylie Minogue and Armin van Buuren.
But it was with their own writing and recording where their passion really lay “we’ve worked so hard in our industry behind the scenes. To step out and be releasing records in our own name is a whole different energy, a whole different world. It really is addictive and so rewarding” says Liv.
With a large fan base constantly growing, the sisters have been regulars at some of the most well respected festivals and venues throughout the world.
One fan in particular has recently made the headlines in the form of Simon Cowell. The X-Factor boss has been rumoured to be considering snapping up the Aussie duo for starring roles on his new reality talent show Ultimate DJ.
Joining the electronic dance music first-sisters will be Swedish duo Galantis who are made up of Christian ‘Bloodshy’ Karlsson from Mike Snow and Linus Eklöw aka ‘Style of Eye’.
The guys had international success with their single ‘Runaway’ which debuted on October 2014. The track which was taken from their debut album ‘Pharmacy,’ shot to the top of Spotify’s Global and US Viral charts while also becoming a Top 10 Spotify track in the Netherlands, Belgium and Finland.
Nottingham DJ Philip George will be joining the line-up also. The 21-year-old landed a No.2 on the UK chart with his debut single ‘Wish You Were Mine’ earlier this year earning him the title of UK’s biggest new DJ.
Tickets for the Ebrington show are still available, but be warned, it is expected to be close to a sell-out.
