Following a series of hotly tipped 2009 singles, he signed to London Elektricity's renowned Hospital Records and released his self-titled debut the following year. Since 2012, Netsky has toured with a full band, in addition to releasing two numerically titled albums, both of which topped the Belgian charts, and his sound has expanded to encompass dubstep, hip-hop, and electro-house.
Taking his stage name from a computer worm affecting Microsoft Windows operating systems, Daenen's first releases as Netsky first appeared in 2009, on independent drum'n'bass labels like Talkin Beatz and Liq-weed Ganja. His melodic, energetic sound made him a natural fit for Hospital Records, who signed him at the end of the year. The debut full-length Netsky appeared in 2010, showcasing Daenen's ability to switch between rigorous dancefloor tracks and full-blown songs with guest vocalists. After collaborating with labelmate Danny Byrd on the 2011 single "Tonight," Netsky's second album, 2, was released in 2012. Reaching the top spot in his native country in addition to charting high in New Zealand and the U.K., the album included four Belgian Top 20-charting singles and guest vocals by Diane Charlemagne and Billie, both of whom toured as part of the Netsky live band. By then, he was an in-demand remix producer, having reworked songs by Swedish House Mafia, Miike Snow, Jessie J, and several others.
"Running Low," a collaboration with American singer Beth Ditto, was released in 2014, and became Netsky's first number one single in his native country. Signing with Epic Records, he released his third album, 3, in 2016. Sporting a noticeably poppier sound and featuring guest appearances from the likes of Emeli Sandé, Saint Raymond, Lowell, and the peculiarly named Digital Farm Animals, the album was another success, topping the Belgian charts while hitting the Top Ten of the dance charts in the U.K. and the United States. He followed the album with the 2017 single "Here with You" (with Lost Frequencies) and 2018's "Téquila Limonada" (featuring A.CHAL). In 2019 Netsky teamed up with Aloe Blacc for the single "Snitch." ~ Andy Kellman & Paul Simpson.
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”, Jessie J – “Nobody’s Perfect” and Rusko – “Everyday” and more.

Netsky Lyrics

And starlight filled the evening
Starlight filled the evening

The lyrics of Netsky's song "Starlight" are repetitive and simplistic, yet they convey an immense sense of wonder and nostalgia. The repeated line "And starlight filled the evening" creates a dreamy atmosphere and emphasizes the beauty of the night sky. The second line "Naive notions that were childish" offers a contrast to the previous phrase, suggesting that the experience of gazing at the stars also makes one reflect on their past and childhood innocence. The song evokes a sense of longing for a simpler, more carefree time and a desire to escape from the complexities of adulthood.
Interpretations of the lyrics may vary, but overall, the song embodies a feeling of awe and appreciation for the natural world. The repetition of "starlight" emphasizes the beauty and mystery of the universe, while the line about "naive notions" suggests that such wonder and innocence can diminish with age and experience. The song is a tribute to the magic of the night sky and a reminder to cherish the simple pleasures in life.

Jeeesus christ what a modern classic! Havent heard this tune in years, very glad it popped into my recommendations. This is one of the tunes that ignited my love for drum and bass way back in 2010-2011, and consequentially got me into electronic music in general. Eternally grateful to netsky for being one of the producers responsible for essentially shaping the whole basis of my taste in music, even nowadays. Mad respect

Such a banger hey 🥰
@TehhSkye
As Netsky has left the liquid dnb scene, we must all pay our respects by playing his tunes obnoxiously loudly and raving like lunatics. We shall not stop until he has returned and we may worship his future liquid releases.

One of his originals. Too bad he lost what he had.
