Biography: Sander van Doorn

[Tala]

Real Name: Sander Ketelaars

[align=justify]Sander Van Doorn, the 25 year old from Eindhoven in Holland is the future! Sander Van Doorn is a DJ/Producer in a league of his own. With production alias such as Sam Sharp, Purple Haze and Sandler, he has grafted for years, but his time has come, his time is now. Everything Sander does is watched with bated breath. Every single one of his original productions such as club anthems like “AKA” “Dark Roast” “Bling Bling” “Adrenaline” “Eden/Rush” “Hoover/Craft” and “Error” are supported by the godfathers of dance that include Paul Oakenfold, Paul Van Dyk, John Digweed, Armin Van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Marco V, Tiesto and the list goes on….

[align=justify]The one record that turned all the attention onto Sander was his rework of The Police “Message in a bottle”. From a limited number of CDR’s for the A-list DJ’s titled “TBA - SOS” this rework became one of the biggest productions of 2005, a huge festival track and a euphoric club anthem. This rework became an official remix on the Filterfunk pack that hit #1 in dance charts throughout Europe where it stayed for almost a month! In June this year Sander won “Best New Producer” at the Trance Awards 2006.

His remixes have gained the same recognition, remixing in the past for the likes of Robbie Rivera, Matt Darey, Randy Katana, Mode Hookers (Steve Angello & Sebastian Ingrosso) and Blank & Jones to latest remixes of TDR “Squelch” to the monster Armin Van Buuren “Control Freak”.

2005 was the year when Sander took his deck wizardry and unique versatile sound to UK clubs such as Turnmills, Godskitchen, Slinky and Inside Out. He was tried, tested and verified as the man to watch in 2006. Not only was Sander tipped by the clubbers but Armin Van Burren had Sander as his choice of “Breakthrough DJ of 2006” in the prestigious Top 100 DJ Mag issue.

All this success was capped in December 2005 when Sander was asked to fly to London to take part in one of the most exciting photo shoots any breakthrough artist can be involved in…..Sander Van Doorn became one of Mixmag’s future heroes of 2006 – acknowledging him as the headliner of tomorrow!

We’re now into 2006 and Sander Van Doorn’s diary reads like the departure board at LAX. He is back at the aforementioned clubs throughout 2006 and is featured as a main arena DJ at summer festivals world-wide such as Dance Valley, Gigidance, Godskitchen’s HI-Fi, Mysterlands, PlanetLove and SW4, with PVD, Armin, Tiesto, Ferry Corsten and Marco V. His debut at Judgement Sunday was a massive success and he is set to make his debut at Cream in November. Its non-stop for SVD.

Across the Atlantic and people are literally fighting for Van Doorn. So far, Sander will export his magic to Los Angeles, San Francisco and Canada wide, and that’s before we even start looking for work! In Europe, Ibiza, Poland, Estonia, Sweden, Lithuania, Germany, Finland, Lebanon, Czech Republic and Greece have all secured a piece of the action, with more to be confirmed over the forthcoming months.

Sander host’s one of the most listened to internet radio shows, Identity, on www.DI.fm on the fourth Wednesday of every month, his show is replayed on his website each month. In June 2006, Sander was asked to do an exclusive mix for Radio 1 for their globally renowned “Essential Mix show”, Sander produced an incredible mix that has already been hailed as the Essential mix of the year by its global listenership.[/align]
