<\/a><\/p>\nFor a long time Boris Daenen, most commonly known as Netsky, only belonged to Belgium, now he belongs to the world. You may not instantly recognise the 25-year-old drum-and-bass DJ-producer, but you almost certainly will have heard one of his records. He became something of an electronic cult star after releasing his self-titled debut album, which was not only critically-lauded, but it also served as an introduction, providing a backdrop of his high-octane, bass-heavy, energetic sound.<\/p>\n
His follow up album, 2, which was released in 2012, was a huge commercial success: it hit the No.1 spot in the Belgium charts and also entered the UK album charts, making it his highest-charting album yet. It\u2019s a remarkable feat and with his new found fame, he\u2019s now unstoppable. \u201cA lot of people recognise me here because I do a lot of TV shows,\u201d<\/em> he says from his home in Edegem, Belgium. \u201cIt\u2019s really great. I never find it annoying like some people do. I think it\u2019s part of the job.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Blending his soul-influenced sound with breathy vocals layered over up-tempo beats is his speciality. He began producing music at the age of 16, practicing his craft in his spare time and DJing at house parties. \u201cAt that time, I wasn\u2019t even thinking about being on stage or even performing on one<\/em>,\u201d he says, laughing. \u201cI just loved being in the studio and making music. It\u2019s my first love \u2014 making music.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
