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.
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” and “Come Alive” in May , we are
now awaiting the release of Netsky’s highly anticipated sophomore album
which is due out 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.
