Chicago, IL (PRWEB) February 24, 2014 -- It's been two weeks since the official release of (We) Are Nexus’ second single “World Around Me” and the EDM duo is already making strides within the dance community with their signature trance-infused sound and killer remix collaborations. This week Nexus took the #4 Breakout Artist spot on the internationally recognized Billboard Hot Dance/Club chart beating out icons such as A Great Big World & Christina Aguilera.

After their impressive, freshman debut of “It Feels So Good,” (We) Are Nexus immediately found themselves back in the studio with clear intentions to produce a strong follow up. Fast forward a few months later, Nick Gunn and Carmen Rainier emerge with their stunning trance infused “World Around Me” that highlights their impressive songwriting and production skills in true form. The “World Around Me” album includes fourteen remixes from remixers such as Wayne G & LFB, Flatdisk and Funk Generation, to name a few. Each builds upon and transform the original mix into something for every EDM listener.
In addition to being Billboard’s #4 Breakout Artist of the week, (We Are) Nexus and "World Around Me" have been receiving attention throughout the dance community, especially on the radio airwaves. Music Choice, the premiere satellite broadcasting company for music programming available on cable television in the United States, has added “World Around Me” into heavy rotation on their EDM/Dance station next to household EDM names such as Tiesto and Krewella.
"World Around Me” has also been added to the #1 internet dance radio station Fusion Radio, and is currently in heavy rotation playing nationwide throughout Top 40 radio stations such as Party 105 FM in Long Island and Wild 102.9 in Reno, Nevada. With a strong presence in dance radio, (We Are) Nexus continues to climb the MediaBase Top 40 and Rhythmic charts each week.
With a second Breakout Artist spot on Billboard (We Are) Nexus' club promoter, Next Music Group, anticipates a strong debut on the Billboard Dance Club Play chart next week and the EDM duo will keep company with artists such as Katy Perry, Krewella and Kaskade to name a few.
As “World Around Me” continues its climb on MediaBase, Billboard, on the radio and in the clubs, Nick Gunn and Carmen Rainier continue to create new tracks in their downtown Chicago studio. "We are really excited about our new music coming out sometime this May," says Carmen Rainier. "We have been working on this material even before 'World Around Me' was released."
