I'll never forget when this album first released, changed the entire Dubstep scene! All the times I played this entire album on repeat, so much nostalgia, and it still vibes in 2021
One of my favorite EDM albums of all time! Even in 2019 it still sounds amazing! I love the futuristic theme this album has, reason why I have always loved Nero! 😃
This is the perfect way to revisit this album. You get a taste of every song and they're all mixed together so perfectly.... I wish I knew about this mix earlier, this album has been one of my all time favorites since it came out.... I'm ashamed honestly, that I never found it sooner
Christmas 2011. I had just started my first year of uni and had gotten into electronic music a bit more. Even the shitty student clubs we used to go to were dropping the occasional Dubstep and Drum & Bass that made the whole place go mad. It was the days of Flux Pavilion's Louder and Pendulum's Voodoo People Remixes. And of course Nero's tunes were getting rinsed everywhere. New Life, Promises, and all the Dubstep remixes that were en vogue back in the day. Eventually I found this mix. There's something about these short clips of each track that blend into each other so perfectly, creating a medley of the musical journey that was Welcome Reality. Naturally, I ended up buying the album. Don't get me wrong, the album (and especially the extended version) is amazing. But already back then, perhaps foreshadowing that I get way into DJing one day, I thought electronic music sounded best when mixed, so I came back to this video a lot. Anyway, back to Christmas 2011. It was the first time since going to uni in September that I came back home and saw my friends again. Naturally we went on a mad binge to demonstrate how sturdy drinkers we had become. My memories of the events of that night are hazy at best, but it was one of the best nights out in my life. The next day I woke up with still outrageously drunk. All I knew was that I wanted to listen to this mix, so I went into the living room where my mum was waiting with breakfast, suspiciously trying to gauge the state of my hangover. I told her there was something I needed to do and plugged my phone into the big fancy stereo. I know the sound quality of this video isn't great but it still sounded a million times better than the cheap speakers I had at uni. I sat down on the couch with a cup of coffee and looked out onto the garden onto which the winter sun was shining. For some reason I still remember the exact sight. The mix sounded absolutely incredible on the stereo, it was like experiencing the mix for the first time again. While it was playing, I was reflecting on what a crazy but positive turn my life had taken since moving out and moving to a different country for uni. The music pulled all the right chords in the right moments. It was one of the most intense and memorable listening experiences. Hearing this now makes me nostalgic to a point that's hard to put into words. So many emotions came together that day. Sure, I was still pretty intoxicated, that always helps with enjoying music and amplifying emotions. I don't know why I cherish this particular memory so much. These days I practically only listen to Techno and a bit of Drum & Bass, but this is what I consider to be the first step of that musical journey that has been the most important thing in my life for the last 8 years. Thank you Nero.
Nero is definitely out of this world.. specially watching them perform live is just breath taking.. and jaw dropping. 😍 I could never get enough of them.. ❤NERO 4 EVER!
This album still stands the test of time. You can still play this out to a packed venue and everyone will love it in 2024. One of the best edm albums of all time.

At first I was like, "oh this is just symphony 2808", then I was like "wait, this is doomsday," then i was like "okay now its my eyes," then i was like, "okay i get it, it's just a mix of all the songs from the new album! So am I Smart.
I've seen NERO 5 times and everytime has been an Amazing show! Took me 5 times to finally see both of them together! From hard haunted to hard summer to many many others I can't remember at the moment. And MORE TO COME!
I thought this mix was a fever dream till I rediscovered it tonight. I ripped this onto my old PC in high school, burnt it to a disc and bumped the ever loving hell out of it in my GTI circa '11-'12. What memories
Walking home drunk a friend pulled this album cd from the passanger seat of a unlocked car. This untimely harmless criminal event proceded to unlock a unexplored region of my brain, and this mix is the perfect amalgamation of what my brain remembers listening to this cd for the first time on a old sony head deck with fusion subwoofer
I have been a fan of EDM for years now so many good albums out there! But Nero’s Welcome Reality the BEST EDM ALBUM of all time and it is now 10 years old……this album is a masterpiece with some of the best Dubstep tracks I have ever heard! Thank you Nero for the memories.
I wish these records were easier to find in music stores. I know that things are mostly digital these days, but I love to have physical copies to read the inside sleeve and enjoy the artwork while jamming.
Anyone else realize that if you listen to the album in order its just one big song, they all connect! The most obvious one is at the end of me and you and the beginning of promises.

This album is definitely a classic, even after all the years it sounds so timeless. Pure masterpiece!
Most certainly.
Still listening in 2021
Almost 2025 and this is still the best album mix.
I with they would do a full version of reaching out/ promise, they go together so well...
Reaching out/Promises ... I wish that mix got a full release. So good!!!

You don't need swag...

Nero at Brisbane Parklife 2012...simply amazing! huge bass, jets flying overhead, fireworks, not embarrassed to say i almost shed a tear
this is like the best mix of feelings that I've ever heard
Fugue State/Guilt was an awesome combo. Same with Innocence/Me and You. Great mix for the most part.
Anyody know where i can hear or download reaching out/ promise mix by nero?
the start is good and me and you/innocence is good the rest is just alright
poor vision
I could listen to this OVER AND OVER....
I've seen NERO 5 times and everytime has been an Amazing show! Took me 5 times to finally see both of them together! From hard haunted to hard summer to many many others I can't remember at the moment. And MORE TO COME!
Upload to beatport or somethign... i really hate itunes...
nero illuminati?
I thought this mix was a fever dream till I rediscovered it tonight. I ripped this onto my old PC in high school, burnt it to a disc and bumped the ever loving hell out of it in my GTI circa '11-'12. What memories
NERO WAS AWESOME IN MELT! FESTIVAL THIS SUMMER!!!! I WANT TO GO BACK IN TIME!!!
13 years straight, still my favorite album ever made 💙
Time flies... Used to keep hearing this all day in my youth!
Wow, Nero is just beyond perfect
Walking home drunk a friend pulled this album cd from the passanger seat of a unlocked car. This untimely harmless criminal event proceded to unlock a unexplored region of my brain, and this mix is the perfect amalgamation of what my brain remembers listening to this cd for the first time on a old sony head deck with fusion subwoofer
Could listen to this over and over and not get bored :)
I have been a fan of EDM for years now so many good albums out there! But Nero’s Welcome Reality the BEST EDM ALBUM of all time and it is now 10 years old……this album is a masterpiece with some of the best Dubstep tracks I have ever heard! Thank you Nero for the memories.
The reason why i start listen dubstep and D'n'B was NERO !!!
This album will always be freakin' fire.
One of the sickest drops I've ever experienced.
Reaching out nd promises go so well together! wish it was one song combined
i saw Nero perform live at festival and i gotta mention that its' the best dj set i ever experienced :)
its late september in 2012 and im still listening to this like it came out yesterday.
I wish these records were easier to find in music stores. I know that things are mostly digital these days, but I love to have physical copies to read the inside sleeve and enjoy the artwork while jamming.
its official, Nero has the best vocals of any dubstep
reaching out/promises has to be the most amazing track i've ever heard, wish it was longer than 2 mins :(
one of my all time favorite electric artists.
Been listening to Nero since before most people heard the name. Gotten huge and I'm not surprised, excellent producing.
This is magic✨✨✨✨✨✨
Sick mix. I love them all equally because it's Nero, and Nero is the best.
Nero-3
8 years ago. Omfg I remember the year this was out I was in love with it.
Reaching out and promise really go well together...If only it existed outside of this mix.
My favourite dubstep album.. with my favourite DnB track.. 'Choices'
HOLY CRAP THIS MIX IS KILLIN IT
Anyone else realize that if you listen to the album in order its just one big song, they all connect! The most obvious one is at the end of me and you and the beginning of promises.
Awesome Mix! all the songs that have been tweaked with sound better :D
This is just beautiful i have no words to describe my feelings for this
This was ahead of its time
This is one of the best mixes iv'e ever heard.
the Me & you and innocence mix is very awesome =)
nice job
They Inspire to mix. Blows the MIND! Yesssssssssssssss
I luv nero, innocence so much! Thank u very much, merry christmas!
The video that started it all for me...
Hooray for Dubstep Justice!
I agree, it doesn't need to sound like oldschool dubstep.
That last one reminded me of why i started listening to this kind of music in the first place.
Gave me goosebumps...pure genius...
So excited get to see Nero perform live in 20hrs ^_^
best nero song i've ever heard.
8 years!! Feels like I blinked and 8 years went past. Damn!!
i seen nero in november and only one of the guys played, the show didnt last long at all i was quite disappointed but i still love em'
I love the me&you/innocence mix. I wish there was a full length mix somewhere.

Make a fulltrack of this guilt / fugue statue mash-up and i vote for Nero as president!!!
best nero mix ever
I still remeber the day,ukf uploaded this.

The mashup of the two songs is far better than each individually imo.
THIS IS A MASTERPIECE

Excellent mix!
This is absolutely my first mix i heard on yt after discovering dubstep. So much memories in 2020
