Taiki Nulight reworks NERO’s 2010 cult classic ‘Innocence’
“I grew up listening to ‘Innocence’. For NERO to put their name on this is the ultimate blessing”
Mongolian-British producer Taiki Nulight has unveiled a brand new track reworking NERO’s 2010-released dubstep hit ‘Innocence’.
‘Innocence 2025’ revisits the cult classic, reusing its recognisable vocal hook while stripping back on its maximalist basslines, reworking it into a contemporary dubstep cut.
“I grew up listening to ‘Innocence’,” explains Taiki. “For NERO to put their name on this is the ultimate blessing,” he adds.

Released in 2010 by British trio NERO as the lead single to their debut album ‘Welcome Reality’, ‘Innocence’ went on to reach acclaim, peaking at number 15 in the independent releases chart, and number 16 in the dance music chart.
‘Innocence 2025’ was quick to receive support from the likes of Skrillex and NERO themselves, who began playing the new track during performances across the UK and US at the end of 2024.
Following its release, Taiki Nulight has revealed news of a four-date UK tour set to kick off next month on April 3, hitting Leeds, Bristol, Brighton, and London.
