About Netsky
Rarely have we seen someone rise through the ranks as quickly as 23 year old Boris Daenen, a.k.a Netsky. Having a Belgian passport doesn’t often turn D+B heads, so you can be sure it’s his tunes which do the talking! Having secured releases on some of the biggest labels in the scene, gained DJ support from the likes of Friction, Hype, Fabio and London Elektricity, the young Belgian from Edegem near Antwerp earned a nomination as “Best Upcoming Producer” at the Drum + Bass Arena Awards in 2008 and fulfilled this ambition two years on with is “Best Newcomer Producer” award in 2010.
Leading a wave of new skool D+B talent from Europe with his blend of uplifting, melancholic melodies and heavy dancefloor bass + beats, Netsky’s popularity as both a DJ and producer is second to none.He first came to Hospital’s attention with “Smile” and “Tomorrow’s Another Day” was quickly snapped up, signing exclusively to Hospital in late 2009. Netsky’s first release on Hospital was the iconic “Memory Lane” (as featured on “Sick Music 2″ in 2010) and this was swiftly followed up by his chart topping debut album – “Netsky”– in May of the same year. Following virtually unanimous praise and hype from all corners of the globe, it plunged Netsky firmly into the limelight, where he has remained ever since, delivering a potent mix of dancefloor anthems, vocal led classics and that clean cut new jungle sound which has become his trademark.
Since then, Netsky’s profile as a remixer has been affirmed by his huge remixes of ubiquitous club anthems such as Pendulum – “Witchcraft”, Plan B, Leftfield – “Release The Pressure”, Audio Bullies – “Only Man”, Swedish House Mafia – “One” and most recently Jessie J – “Nobody’s Perfect” and Rusko – “Everyday” (which was included on the recently released “Fifteen Years Of Hospital Records” album).
Alongside all this, is Netsky’s hectic DJ schedule which regularly takes him across Europe, the UK, US, Australia and across the world, headlining Hospitality events and beyond. His skills behind the decks are enviable and he seems to have a Midas touch; able to transform even the most subdued of parties into an ecstatic, bouncing rave within a matter of minutes and it is no coincidence that he was nominated for the Radio One ‘Essential Mix Of The Year’ in 2010.
With a huge fan base and celebrity status in his home country, Netsky’s star just keeps on rising. On Friday 6th April 2012, Netsky unveiled Netsky LIVE! at Hospitality Brixton – a full live show with a band which he will be taking to his home country in May for two sold out shows at Ancienne Belgique. Following the release of January’s digital-only single “Give & Take” 2012, Netsky is readying his next single “Come Alive” which is due out on 21st May followed by his highly anticipated sophomore album at the end of June. One thing’s for sure, 2012 is already set to be another golden year for Belgium’s premium D+B export.
hey i love your music…i meen i really love your music im always listing to you..come to the U.S please and marry me!!!! lol just playing but bring your talent here!!!! much love!!!
Hi, even I searched for music which goes along with me far away and having some time to fill up my head with hope. You´re really great talent. Don´t forget that and don´t forget yourself. I like your “Everyday” very much. It would be my kind of music, if I would get my ass up to produce. But my ass is sitting lazy down an listening to your music. That´s nice as well ;D Good life!
Got sucked into your music thru facebook links of your Memory Lane. Epic track, no matter if i’m chillin or hyping for a club it still fits.
Only this and ONE other track have I ever, EVER had on repeat for 6 hours straight (I Shoo you not!) and STILL wanted more.
keep up the good work man. i’ll be keepin heads up for your next album/mix.
Peace,
Stew
Thinking of starting out, what software would you recommend? It’s between Logic and Ableton for me i think but At this point much prefer Logic! Whats best for beginners? Thanks for any advice

Have been looking at this site for some time now…Keep up the good work . Got to know things that i did not before. Cheers!
Hallo,
‘k Wil eerst toch eventjes zeggen dat ik u liedjes echt bangelijk vind. Zo bangelijk zelfs, dat ik graag een liedje zou gebruiken voor een kortfilmpje dat we moeten maken voor school. Welk liedje weet ik nog niet goed, maar het zou echt super zijn als je mij een mailtje terug kon sturen met een bevestiging
groetjes !
NETSKY; How can I persuade you to play at my 16th birthday party. If you were there then I think my life would be complete

My love for your music grows immensely each day.
Thank you for getting me through uni.
Please come back to Melbourne ever so soon, xo
Where can we find any info for bookings of Netsky?
Kind Regards

Hey Netsky,
I wonder what kind of studiospeakers u produce with.
I tried Krk and Tenoi, but i just cant find the right ones for DnB in combination with ableton+logic.
It allways boosts the low frequencies.
You’d do me a great favour if u answer.
Btw the new releases are sublime.
Gonna buy the album right now.
Grts, Robert
Boris!! You are my favorite DnB DJ/ Producer ever! <3 I can't wait to see you at Beyond Wonderland in March!! I f'n love you so much!!!
Hello Mister,
one question … or if somebody knows ???
on which software Netsky works on ??? LOGIC, CUBASE, ABLETON, PROTOOLS?
THANKS

News info…
[...]I was reading the news and I saw this really cool info[...]…
Wow… Netsky…After listening to your remix of Nobody’s Perfect, I thought to myself, “This kid is good”. Give and Take is just amazing. Everything, from the chill beat to the piano riff, is brilliant, I just can’t stop listening to your music. Please continue producing great music as long as possible
Netsky you’re a genious mate, I’m a 16 year old DnB/ dubstep producer and was just wandering if you had any tips on producing or just getting my tunes heard, keep mixing these huge beats man!
Peace,
Headlock. (that’s me).
your music is legendary, got me into dnb so thank you! cant wait for hospitality!
Netsky, your music has inspired me to become an artist, other music is dull to me, but your music lifts my spirits, make me wanna run, makes me happy. so because of you i am now going to be makng my own music, maybe you’ll give some of it a listen sometimes.
Off to listen to some Netsky now,
Peace Out.
Just saw you live in South Africa this weekend.
You are the greatest live set of electronic music I have ever seen and 90% of the people I have spoken to agree with that!
Thank you so much!
Please come back, we love you!!!!
The only drum n bass artist I can listen to constantly and every day!!! Please come to South Florida. We will make it worth your time!!
Vive les Belges!!! Continue comme ca a faire de la bonne musique !!
Your Music is beautiful.

Way to keep Drum and Bass alive.
Stay up

Hey come to US again! I missed your show in Denver and I really want to see you live! Come help me out!!

I really like your music. However, please let your “moderator” at home for future gigs, as he really ruined your show in Basel. How can one enjoy DnB when this *peep* talks the hole time? I dont mind if he announces you at the beginning and “motivates” people from time to time,…. but if he thinks anybody needs his comments and cheers every 10 seconds he must come from a different planet, as absolutely nobody does.
Do everybody a big favour and come alone to your next gig,… its you and your music people want to see/hear/enjoy, not some annoing wannabe fatman scoop (I personally would have used different words, but I dont want to curse here).
cheers from Basel, siggi
i love netsky his new tracks sound awesome fairplay never fails to smash it
most talented person his music rocks my soul 
well donee dude
p.s he rocks hospitality
Netsky, you make great music man. The new release is hot! Please keep just making music!
