Netsky

In celebration of the release of his eagerly awaited third studio album ‘3’ in June, electronic artist and drum & bass legend Netsky has announced the details of two live UK shows, at O2 Academy Newcastle on 3rd November and at London's O2 Forum Kentish Town on Saturday 5th November, adding yet more dates to the ‘3’ European Tour.

The journey leading up to his new album ‘3’ began last summer with the release of festival favourite, ‘Rio’. The Brazilian inspired track was a hit with specialist and daytime radio alike and was heard everywhere from underground raves, to muddy festival fields, to the soundtrack for BBC 1’s coverage of London’s New Year’s Eve fireworks display. It was re-released this year, as ‘Rio Remix’ featuring a verse from Grammy award-winning megastar Macklemore and has been dubbed the unofficial anthem of the Rio Olympics, having been used heavily across all of the BBC’s Olympics coverage and as the soundtrack to Netsky’s role as official artist ambassador for the Belgian Olympics Team whom he joined in Brazil during their Rio 2016 campaign.

Netsky’s rise up the ranks has been a sight to behold. He first made his name with Hospital Records in 2009 with a series of blistering releases including single ‘Memory Lane’ and his infamous self-titled debut album ‘Netsky’, which propelled the talented young producer from Belgium into the premiere league. Starting out with an underground drum ‘n’ bass label like Chase & Status did before him, Hospital Records ended up being the perfect springboard for Boris Daenen to get to where he is today.
