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” 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.
In April 2012, Netsky unveiled the incredibly impressive Netsky LIVE! show at Hospitality
Brixton – a full live show with a band which he continues to tour the world with, having
completed tours of the USA, Australia, New Zealand and Europe.
The highly anticipated sophomore album “2” landed late in June 2012 and immediately hit the
UK Top 30 and No. 1 in his home country of Belgium, later going on to reach platinum sales.
2013 has seen the ascension of Netsky LIVE! to even greater heights, with a highlight being
the sell-out stadium show at the Lotto Arena in April and other recent storming shows at
Glastonbury, Pinkpop Rock Werchter and V Festival – Netsky LIVE! have been nominated for
a’ Best Live Act’ accolade at this year’s AIM . .
