NETSKY REVEALS NEW SINGLE “RIO”
DUE OUT JULY 5 ON ULTRA MUSIC
Ever since his first appearances on some of the scene’s most respected underground labels, Belgian superstar producer NETSKY has dazzled audiences with his unique brand of drum and bass, electro and pop, and is now ready to take it to the next level this summer with his latest single “Rio.” Teaming up with hotly tipped songwriter Digital Farm Animals, NETSKY heads south to the beaches of Brazil with this sunny, Latin-inspired production.

NETSKY hand delivered the track to U.K. influencer DJ Annie Mac who debuted the song on her BBC Radio 1 show last week prior to posting it on his SoundCloud where it has since racked up over 100k listens. “Rio” will see its formal release in North America via Ultra Music on July 5.
Wrote Steph Evans of Earmilk (6/12/15), “’Rio’ features a slower tempo than what we’re used to hearing from Netsky, and within a few seconds of listening we can tell it’s something deeper than what we are used to hearing. Partnering with Digital Farm Animals on vocals, there’s a softness that emulates the carefree ideology that the vocal brings through. That vocal is pretty simple, yet totally entrancing.” Adds UKF (6/12/15), “Best filed under ‘hands-up summer banger’: Netsky – Rio features slick lyrics from Digital Farm Animals, kicks off on a cool halftime beat before dropping into a horn-wrapping, piano-slapping masterclass in feel good vibes.”
Look for “Rio” to appear on NETSKY’s new artist album to be released later this year.
