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. What’s more there are more big things in the pipeline, including a new album underway, meaning 2012 is looking 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.

Stew

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

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,

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
