Sander van Doorn is a Dutch trance music DJ and producer, born in Eindhoven, Netherlands on February 28th, 1979. Sander hosts an internet radio show every 4th Wednesday of the month on Digitally Imported radio. Downloads and tracklists of the show are available at www.sandervandoorn.com. Sander started his career at the age of 16 and by now he's got several aliases: Sander Van Doorn, Larsson, Sandler, Stan Larsson and Sam Sharp. In the United States, he is better known by the alter ego Filterfunk.
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 the man who’s got it all.
Despite his phenomenal success, Sander remains virtually unaffected by his achievements, and is the ‘peoples’ DJ full stop. Whether he’s releasing a new track, playing to 500 or 50,000, his primary concern is ensuring his audience is 100% content. There is nothing superstar about the man himself, yet his work over the past 18 months has earned him that 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, and sold out!
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 when a Sander Van Doorn track is dropped – the entire dance-floor is aware! His productions are simply unique in every way shape and form. His ability to churn out incredible music, that cross a multitude of different genres, makes it accessible for any DJ playing anything over 120bpms.
Sander’s diary is packed with the biggest events of 2007, and has already completed a 2 week tour of Australasia, 5 shows at the Miami Music Conference, and is about to embark on an entire month of Gallery dates in London to celebrate his brand new residency.
Don’t blink or your likely to miss the man everyone is calling the saviour of dance music.
