About Netsky

Rarely have we seen someone rise through the ranks as quickly as Boris Daenen, a.k.a Netsky. 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 is astounding. A celebrity in his own country, he has received numerous awards and accolades and continues to impress audiences across the world with his Netsky LIVE! show with full band.

Netsky signed exclusively to Hospital in late 2009; his first release 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”, Jessie J – “Nobody’s Perfect” and Rusko – “Everyday” and more.

Alongside all this, is Netsky’s hectic DJ schedule 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. It is no coincidence that he was nominated for the Radio One ‘Essential Mix Of The Year’ in 2010.

On Friday 6th April 2012, Netsky unveiled the incredibly impressive Netsky LIVE! at Hospitality Brixton – a full live show with a band which he is now touring the world with. Following the release of January’s digital-only single “Give & Take” and “Come Alive” in May, Netsky’s highly anticipated sophomore album “2” landed late in June and has been received with widespread critical acclaim, hitting the UK Top 30 and No. 1 in his home country of Belgium. One thing’s for sure, 2012 has been another golden year for Belgium’s premium D+B export.

    Dag Boris!

    Prachtige muziek en zot goeie show @ pukkelpop. Ik heb een vraagje, voor jouw of de beheerder van dit forum. De zangeres die de vocals doet voor ‘Come Alive’, hoe heet die. Wat een bom van een stem! Zou graag haar discografie beter willen kennen.

    Grtz,

    P-Jay

  24. Lebrun says:

    Geachte Boris,
    Voor het vak van frans hebben mijn klasgenoot (Nicolas Rivière) en mezelf een opdracht gekregen, namelijk een wikipedia artikel schrijven. We hebben dus op wikipedia gekeken en we hebben opgemerkt dat er bijna niets over u bestaat in frans. We hebben dus voor je gekozen, en onze leraar is er mee akkoord. Om dit opdracht het best te realiseren, zou het mogelijk zijn dat u ons het maximum informatie geeft over ‘netsky’, je studies, je succes, je platen enzovoort?

    We hopen beiden je terug te zien in de Lotto Arena! ( ps we hebben je in de ‘Ancienne Belgique, op Rock Werchter en op I Love Techno gezien en we zijn echte fans van je!)

    Groeten

    Antoine Lebrun & Nicolas Rivière

    It was more than amazing to see you live in Berlin! Maybe you have spotted a blue/purple wolf in the front row, bouncing to your beats :3
    God I wished I would have been able to take a photo with you like after the gig, but you were so difficult to reach and the guy from the venue told me, you were too busy and stuff :( Shame…well, maybe next time!
    Keep your stuff rolling and thanks again! :D

  32. Anne besie says:

    Is it possible to contact netsky? my daughter is a big fan of him but she has been diagnosed with an uncurable desease. Her big dream is to spend a day with him and see how this all works. She always wanted to a dj but her sickness stopped a lot of her dreams.. Would it be possible to arrange a surprise meeting with netsky for, this would make her very happy. I understand netsky must be asked all over the world and be very busy. As netsky we live in belgium, mechelen, so if there is ever the slightest possibility please let us know.

    Thanks so much in advance

    Beste,

    Ik ben Lilin Verbeke en ik zit in 5de jaar in Sint-Gabriëlcollege te Boechout.
    Ik moet voor mijn semesteropdracht van Nederlands iemand interviewen met een speciaal beroep.
    Daarom dacht ik meteen aan jou omdat ik Dj een zeer speciaal beroep vindt en omdat je de laatste jaren tot onze Belgische trots bent uitgegroeid. :)

    U zou mij echt enorm helpen en een grote dienst bewijzen.
    Alvast bedankt,
    Lilin Verbeke

  36. Jayden Parker says:

    Hey I just wanted to say that you are the BIGGEST inspiration, I’m a young producer myself, I started when I was 14 as well and also was all about house music and recently started producing D&B, when ever I listen to your songs I get so inspired, I’m only 16 now and my favorite has got to be “No strings attached”
    it is so incredible!
    I am actually studying a cert 2 in music at the moment and I have to write an essay about the most inspirational artist (anyone of your choice) and I’m writing my essay on you, anyway when I am older I can’t wait to see one of your live shows, hopefully by next year when I am 18 I will be able to see you perform at a night club in Perth.

  37. Lisa says:

    Netsky, de muziek die jij maakt is geweldig!
    Toen we 3 jaar geleden ons jeugdhuis in Tervuren oprichtten, waren mijn mede-oprichter en ik al grote fans, wat berouwen we het dat we je toen niet gevraagd hebben voor onze opening! Iemand die de wereld zo verovert, had ons jeugdhuis doen boomen. Helaas lijkt het erop dat jij te groot bent en wij te klein. Maar we blijven proberen: iemand die hard werkt, kan ver geraken, daarvan ben jij voor ons het voorbeeld bij uitstek!
    Gelukkig is er jouw muziek, die toch nog voor dat contact zorgt en onze feestjes elke keer weer doet knallen. Bedankt!!

    Hopelijk tot in Amsterdam!
