From songwriters to artists and super-fans to superstars, electronic dance music's first sisters – Mim and Liv Nervo of NERVO – have catapulted onto the international stage, straight from the pit in front of it. These multi-talented DJ dynamos are the all-time top-ranking female DJs in the world, voted by their millions of fans to No. 21 on DJ Magazine's influential 2014 'Top 100 DJs' poll. In-demand and loved across the globe, their non-stop schedule takes them from the magical island of Ibiza, to their studio in their home-away-from-hometown of London, to the towering Main Stage of 'Electric Daisy Carnival' in Las Vegas. Everywhere the girls go, their infectious energy, fearless personal style, deep love and understanding for music precedes them. Mim and Liv's career took off in 2009, when they co-wrote and produced the emphatic and global hit 'When Love Takes Over' – for David Guetta and Kelly Rowland. Ranked by Billboard as the #1 Dance/pop collaboration of all time! However, their journey into dance music started years prior in the festival fields of their native Australia, where as teenagers they took every opportunity to go and see electronic acts like: The Prodigy, Basement Jaxx, and Fatboy Slim. "Purple hair and purple lipstick; we did it all," says Mim. "We almost broke ribs being in the front row of the mosh pit. We were those people in the crowd for so many years, to be playing on the same bill with some of those artists now is just electrifying." Having cemented their songwriting prowess with a global No. 1 (plus several other songs for artists like: Kesha, Kylie Minogue and Armin van Buuren), NERVO set out to pursue their own career as artists, by writing and producing their own songs under their artist name, NERVO. Their friends and collaborators in the world showed up to support them. 'We're All No One' with Afrojack and Steve Aoki (No. 8 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart), 'The Way We See The World' with Afrojack, Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike (the official anthem of Tomorrowland 2011, which has garnered over 30 million YouTube views), 'Reason' with Hook N Sling, 'Something to Believe In' with Norman Doray, 'Like Home' with Nicky Romero (their first No. 1 topping the Beatport chart for 3 consecutive weeks), 'Turn This Love Around' with Armin van Buuren (off the No. 1 DJ's new album 'Intense'): Their list of A-List collaborators is dance music's longest and most enviable and in a world dominated by 'bros,' these girls can do it for themselves.
