Artist history
The head behind Nexxus is André Meyer, whose first musical steps have their roots back in 1987. After having a classic music education, he turned towards composing and producing music. An Amiga computer, combined with a rather simple (compared to today's standards) program called "Protracker" turned out to be just the right platform for his first musical experiments. Slowly, he built up his own project studio, and finally released his first maxi single called "Fever 39: Real" in 1997. Since then, he released numerous tracks and signed with labels such as Warner Music, Edel Records, Music Mail, just no name a few.

Press reviews
Trance.nu (Sweden) about Nordlicht "Cry": "i'm starting out with the club mix and i must say that this is really great. a heavy beat and a floating bassline that reminds a little of gouryella or vincent de moor, but still with its own sticky sound.the sequences are great and makes me feel that something good is about to come. the hookline, when it arrives, is massive and is introduced after a nice flange and a nice cry-vocal which sounds like it is coming from some sexy chick... after some filter-frenzy effects, it all comes at once. all instruments, all seqences, basslines etc, makes this really groovy. i definately will put this track into my next gig. lets get on to the vocal mix.starts out with a very soft but long bassdrum and introduces some grooves. then a nice sequence enters and that sexy chick is back with her vocals. its nice to hear that mixes doesnt sound like the other mixes... some nice vocals are introduced and then we are back to that filtered lead. and kicks it...my judgement of this 12" is that its a very good club-rocker with a drive that makes it a must-have in your collection. personally i like the club mix better than the vocal, but that is only my opinion." *** CD Record Rack (San Francisco, USA) about Nordlicht "Cry": "nordlicht (northern light in english) returns with a very strong followup to the hit, 'breath'. this high polished stormer has what it takes to a be huge international club land smash, including a booming full production thats laden with vibrant sweeping synths and some cool tingling piano keys. another mix is more trancer with hypnotical deep vocals stabs and some eerie sounding submarine effects." *** Majestic Store (Los Angeles, USA) about Nordlicht "Cry": "here is a great german and swedish collaboration that shall not be missed. excellent production, recommended!" *** Discoid Magazine (Italy) about Michael MB "The Power Of Trancebase": "one of the emerging dj's from the german techno scene with his latest piece of hard work, the starting theme to this techno compilation that is perodically published in germany. the vinyl in question, apart from the version looked after by the same michael mb, also includes an easier remixed version from york (with a trance guitar in front line) and also a more stronger one that is very adaptable for the Italian floors remixed for the occasion by sunbeam." *** Raveline Magazine (Germany) about Michael MB "The Power Of Trancebase": "...hardtrance-track, der mit dem gehörigen drive- und hymnenfaktor nach vorne geht und dessen breaks nichts zu wünschen übrig lassen." *** Majestic Store (Los Angeles, USA) about Nordlicht "Breath": "reality bites does it again with this latest release from nordlicht. taking you on a underwater journey filled with deep filtered sub bass lines and smooth melodic synth riffs."
