British electronic trio NERO add their touch to deadmau5‘s “XYZ” in a shorter, faster fashion that constitutes their first release since November 2021 and their fifth song since 2018. Of note, NERO first took on a deadmau5 original in 2014, when they reworked “Ghosts N’ Stuff.” Now, eight years later, they’re turning the tables with a techno rework that diverges from their drum ‘n’ bass modus operandi. The remix is not as fast as traditional techno but it is faster than melodic-house, layering trance-like synths over quick-hitting drums for a take that impactfully reframes “XYZ.”
