Mikael Johnson – Nero
(incl. Peter Greenwood Version 1 & Peter Greenwood Version 2)
NeverLand Productions
Originally released years ago on Small Records, Mikael Johnson's "Nero" is a timeless melodic gem—hypnotic melodies flowing through uplifting grooves, infused with a gentle melancholy that lingers like the soft glow of a Nordic summer evening. Mikael (Sweden-born, Oslo-based) masterfully blends rhythmic pulse with emotive, layered textures, crafting tracks that feel intimate, expansive, and deeply connective.
Peter Greenwood (NeverLand Productions founder, aka PeterPan303) now reimagines this classic with two fresh versions that honor the original's emotional core while bringing brighter, happier energy suited to today's melodic house sets.
Peter Greenwood Version 1 (121 BPM, F#m) delivers a smooth, extended journey with dreamy builds, seamless transitions, and spacious atmospheres—perfect for warm-ups, sunrise moments, or deep, reflective flows.
Peter Greenwood Version 2 (123 BPM, F#m) adds subtle driving momentum to the groove while preserving the euphoric lifts and heartfelt essence—ideal for peak-time melodic explorations and uplifting dancefloor connections.
This release bridges cherished memories with modern light: where gentle melancholy meets joyful grooves, inviting pure emotional release on the floor.
Embrace the uplifting beauty of "Nero" reborn.
