N0. 17 RATED DJ IN THE WORLD ON THE
DJ LIST
Sander Van Doorn’s 2006 biography
began with the A. B and C....... As we find ourselves ploughing
into 2007, we’re desperately looking for what follows
Z...
Everybody wants a piece of Van Doorn, and in 2007, most people
will get it. In just 3 years, and at only 27, the ‘boy
next door’ from Eindhoven in Holland has the world literally
at his feet. 2006 was phenomenal year for Sander; a year that
saw him accomplish things only dreams are made of. He’s
an artist in a league of his own; he is he man who’s
got it all.
Despite his phenomenal success, Sander remains virtually
unaffected by his achievements, and is the ‘peoples’
DJ wherever he plays. Whether he’s releasing a new track,
playing to 500 or 50,000, his only concern is ensuring his
audience loving what he does. There is nothing superstar about
the man himself, yet his work throughout the past 18 months
have earned him that very status. He’s risen through
the ranks, and whilst doing so has taken a big bite at re-shaping
‘dance music’ as we know it. Once a follower,
Van Doorn is now a true leader.
In 2006 alone, Sander made 3 appearances in BBC Radio 1,
including an essential mix, and a live set from Ibiza. His
cheeky remix of the Arctic Monkey’s smash hit “When
The Sun Goes Down” was one of the year’s Big Room
Tunes. He crashed into the DJ Mag Top 100 as a new entry at
#32, and rose 129 places to #7 in the all important ‘Trance
Addict DJ Chart’. He compiled and mixed the Dance Valley
compilation, and to round off the year nicely, produced a
cover-mount CD for Mixmag, which was smacked on the cover
the February 07 issue.
When Sander isn’t playing, he is held up in his ‘self
built’ studio, where every minute is precious. Van Doorn
writes, produces, engineers and masters ALL of his material,
and this is something that will never change. When a Sander
Van Doorn track is dropped – the entire dance-floor
knows about it! His productions are utterly unique in every
way shape and form. His ability to churn out incredible music,
that crosses a multitude of different genres, makes them suitable
for most DJs playing anything over 120bpms.
With a diary that already boasts the biggest festivals, clubs
and world-wide dance events of 2007, as well as the smaller
clubs that have all played a part in bolstering Sander to
where he is now; there is no doubt that this is the year is
THE year Van Doorn really shows the world what they’ve
been missing!
