Sander van Doorn (NL)
A holland zenei géniusz, aki elõtt senki nem volt képes ekkora hatást mérni a zenei szcénára ilyen rövid idõ alatt. A DJ MAG 2006-os listáját egybõl 32. hellyel támadta be, de 2008-ban már az elõkelõ 13-ik helyen trónolt Carl Cox és Paul Oakenfold között. 7 év alatt rányomta névjegyét a szakmára ütõs slágereivel, teltházas partijaival, elnyert díjaival, amirõl más mûvészek egy élet távlatában álmodoznak.
Sander a kezdetektõl nagymestere annak, hogy pakoljon össze trance, elektro, techno és house elemeket, hogy abból a leghúzósabb legnagyobb parti zenéket alkossa. Ez a sikerének titka: a tehetsége, amit hétrõl hétre ezrek láthatnak szerte a világon. Elsõ albuma a Supernaturalistic 2008-ban jelent meg és rögtön egy 32 állomásos világkörüli turnéval lett összekapcsolva. Ebben az évben a szakma legnevesebb konferenciáján a Miami Winter Music Conference-n elhozta a "Best Breakthrough Artist" díjat és nevezték a "Best Underground Track" díjra a "Riff" partitrackjével.
Olyan nagysikerû zenéket köszönhetünk neki, mint a "Grasshopper", "Back by any demand" és még sorolhatnánk. De nemcsak szóló produkciói említésre méltóak, hanem a hatalmas sikerû remixei, mint pl a "The Girl You lost to Cocaine", a "King of my Castle" a The Killers zenekarnak készített "Spacemen" és a Depeche Mode-nak készített "Peace". De ne felejtsük el az, olyan közös produkciókat Marco V-vel, mint az "Organic" vagy a "What say". Most futó megaslágere pedig a Robbie Williams-sel közös "Close my eyes", melynek csodálatos hangzása top 20-as zenévé avanzsálta ezt a tracket.
De ne szûkítsük le Sander képességeit a produceri munkára, hiszen djként is a világ élvonalába tartozik. Minden évben milliók láthatják õt játszani, a legnagyobb rendezvények "headliner"-e a Sensation-tõl a Global Gathering-ig, a Trance Energytõl a Mysteryland-ig és nem utolsó sorban meg kell említeni elõkelõ rezidenciáját az ibiza Cream-en. 2006 óta rádiómûsora van, amin keresztül bárhol elérhetik rajongói Sander zenei világát. Az új www.sandervandoorn.com pedig lehetõséget ad beletekinteni stúdiómunkájába, meghallgatni szerzeményeit, megnézni videóit és társalognia fórumán.

Having made his debut in the world renowned DJ Mag Top 100 at 32 in 2006, before climbing 19 places to No.13 in 2008’s poll; sandwiched between Carl Cox and Paul Oakenfold, the fast rise of Sander van Doorn is a testament to his raw talent and dedication. In just seven years he’s clocked up more dance floor destroyers, sell out gigs and awards than most artists do in a lifetime… and his journey is still in its infancy.
From the start Sander (and his alter egos; Sam Sharp, Purple Haze, Filterfunk & Sandler) has produced a variety of sounds at a level that only most producers can dream of, combining elements of trance, electro, techno and house constantly blowing away his fans and comrades, keeping everyone guessing what he’s going to come up with next. His debut artist album ‘Supernaturalistic’ was released in 2008 to rave reviews and launched a 32 date global album tour. He followed this by winning the coveted prize of ‘Best Breakthrough Artist’ at WMC’s IDMA, where he also received a nomination for ‘Best Underground Track’ with ‘Riff’.
It’s not only Sander’s solo productions that keep everyone on their toes but his bootlegs, covers and incredible remixes. This year we have seen Sander deliver official interpretations for multi-million selling and multi-award winning band, The Killers, with his re-working of their single ‘Spaceman’, as well as ‘Peace’, the new single from electronic legends Depeche Mode.
Also let’s not forget his fantastic selection of collaborations, with artists including friend and mentor Marco V on the monster tracks ‘Organic’ and ‘What Say’, and ‘Close My Eyes’, the European Top 20 hit, with a man that needs no introduction, Robbie Williams. Sander is one of the most in-demand genre crossing producers of his generation, his releases regularly picking up support from as wide reaching places as Pete Tong, Judge Jules, Tiesto and Carl Cox – you’re as likely to find his records in a house DJ’s box as a trance DJs.
Not content with taking the world by storm with his productions, Sander’s DJ skills are a force to be reckoned with. Every year sees Sander playing to over one million clubbers. He consistently headlines huge events from Sensation to Global Gathering, from Trance Energy and Mysteryland through to his high profile summer residency at Cream in Ibiza.
It was Sander’s DJing experiences around the world that prompted him to start up ‘Dusk Till Doorn’, taking clubbing to the next level, offering the ultimate Sander van Doorn experience.. Having already wowed crowds at the launch in May at The Gallery, Ministry of Sound, London and in Ibiza in June, Sander’s musical and visual journey continues to pleasure crowds around the globe.
Sander is extremely grateful to his fans and likes to give back as much possible. In 2006 Sander set up his own radio show, giving fans the opportunity to hear him no matter where they might be. Now in it’s 3rd year and broadcast on DI.FM and syncidacted globally, the show has given Sander a platform to distribute the sound thousands of fans adore and a stage to test his own productions. In 2009 Sander relaunched www.sandervandoorn.com offering users the chance to view his Studio Sessions videos, learning the tricks of his trade, as well as being able to listen to his entire discography. The updated site includes the SvD forum, SvD shop, guestbook, his monthly hour long DJ mix and an exclusive members section which offers exclusive bonus content.
With all the above happening at such an early stage for Sander, it’s easy to see where this man’s career is heading – No.1
