His stage name he created actually refers to the computer virus also called 'Netsky', which is where he got the inspiration from, as he is quite a quirky character.
Daenen produces music that relates to what is known as the liquid funky style, drum and bass music genre, it includes the use of instrumental and vocal context to his music and he said High Contrast's remix of "Gold Digger" was a 'major influence on him', that links to his style of music and the genre he is involved in.
In 2009 Netsky signed with Hospital Records, which bands such as "High Contrast" and "London Elektricity" were also signed to alongside him at the time. He also went on to win a nomination as "Best Upcoming Producer" within months of his first release at the "Drum + Bass Arena Awards", which made his popularity grow as he became a more well known figure in the industry.
The record label “Hospital Records” who he was signed to at the time released his self-titled album in 2010, and his second album called "Title 2" was then released in 2012 with the labbel. The newer album includes three singles and a deluxe edition that was later released with the fourth single called "We Can Only Live Today (Puppy)".
He started his own live project in 2012 that he made himself, which he referred to as the "Netsky LIVE! Show" with a full band he has toured with and done work with since then, which he announced at Hospitality Brixton.The band includes member’s 'BABL' who is the keyboard player, alongside their drummer 'Michael Schack' and what's known as the master of ceremony 'Script MC'.
Netsky is a young unassuming producer from Belgium who really puts on a great live show! His massive liquid drum and bass sound and high-energy tracks make for a night of music akin to the likes of High Contrast, Pendulum and Chase and Status - but perhaps with a more innocent melodic tone. Something that no doubt suits his younger audience. His own love for his music and performing in general really comes across in his live shows, as he’s always dancing behind his laptop and often diving into the crowd to get close to his fans and have a great time in amongst the action. Netsky looks like a genuine and normal guy, which makes his performances less like normal gigs and more similar to a massive party with all your friends. I caught him at O2 Academy Bristol in March 2013 and the atmosphere was crazy, everyone’s hands were in the air throughout the intense drum sections and even the slower interludes. The live drummer on-stage definitely made the faster sections more intense and the MC kept everyone’s energy up by constantly interacting with the crowd.
For any D&B lovers out there, I’d definitely recommend catching Netsky live - what a show!
