Editor's note

Netsky's melodic drum and bass from Ghent

Belgian producer Boris Daenen builds thunderous basslines and cinematic layers into high-energy electronic music.

For the early sound, check out "Rio." For where he took it later, "Hold On (feat. Becky Hill)" gives a good sense of the vocal collaborations.

That early track "Rio" from 2009 became a breakout drum and bass hit with its catchy hook, establishing a sound that pairs melodic electronic elements with driving rhythms. Songs like "Hold On (feat. Becky Hill)" show how he's incorporated vocal features while keeping that core energy intact. His live performances with a band translate those detailed studio productions into concert experiences.

He started making music in the mid-2000s around Ghent, with "Rio" helping establish his approach. Albums like the self-titled 2010 release, "2" in 2012, and "III" in 2016 document his work, while collaborations with Rita Ora on "Barricades" and Bazzi and Lil Wayne show him working with pop and hip-hop voices.
