Boris Daenen (Dutch: [boːrɪs daːnən]; born 22 March 1989), better known as Netsky (pronounced: Net-sky /ˈnɛtskaɪ/), is a Belgian drum and bass producer.[1] The name Netsky is based on the computer virus of the same name.[2]
History
Netsky produces music of the liquid funk style – drum and bass music with many instrumental layers and frequent vocals.[3] A large musical influence to him came from High Contrast's 'Gold Digger' remix.
In late 2009, Netsky signed a recording contract with Hospital Records, the same label as other well known liquid artists such as High Contrast and London Elektricity.
In less than 12 months, the Belgian musician secured releases with record labels including Liq-Weed Ganja, Spearhead and Talkin Beatz. He also won a nomination as "Best Upcoming Producer" within just months of his first release at the Drum + Bass Arena Awards.
Netsky is now signed exclusively to Hospital, and has also appeared on the Hospital Podcast.
Hospital Records released Netsky's self-titled debut album on 31 May 2010.[4]
His second album, titled '2' was released on 25 June 2012. The album features four lead singles and was also released in a Deluxe Edition.
