[Sander Kleinenberg] |

The
Hague is a city of contradictions.
It is the political centre of The Netherlands, a city of high class,
stiff upper lips and more limousines than cars.
On the other hand the Hague is also the city where the most
devastating Dutch dance-music is being produced.
Remy of RR Workshop, Pako & Frederik, Vincent de Moor and
numerous other underground icons are based here. Their sound is sparse,
banging, soulful and when a melody comes in there is a bloody good reason
for it. Sander
Kleinenberg is from the Hague.
His sound and DJing technique represents these elements.
But there is something else as well.
Of all the music making inhabitants of this little haven in the South
of Holland Sander knows more that anyone else that England is on the other
side. He knows
it's there and he acknowledges that Great Britain and a 'little' further
away, America, are the countries where dance-music has its roots, without
renouncing his origins. Starting DJing in 1987 at the age of 15, playing everything from rock to early dance oriented productions, he soon discovered that in the last category his love for life lay. Over the years that love became so intense that he started making his own 'children'.Oliver Lieb , Vincent de Moor, Destiny's Child, Art of Noise, Brother Brown, Junkie XL He released his first
records on high profile labels such as Wonka form Belgium, Superstition from
Germany and the highly regarded Strictly Rhythm from New York, making it one
of the few European released to date. As
a DJ he is truly a flying Dutch man, traveling to the outer regions of
Europe, spinning for extremely satisfied crowds at famous clubs like the Rex
in Paris, Space in Ibiza and the beautiful Cafe d'Anvers in Antwerp to name
but a few.Of course he did the motorways in his home country
where he got residencies at clubs like Asta in the Hague and the
Amsterdam clubs like Mazzo, Chemistry and the legendary and now defunkt Roxy,
while he also played the big festivals like Lowlands, Dance Valley and New
Frontier. His
style of music matured over the years into a wonderful and extremely funky
melting pot of dark & sexy US grooves and atmospheric, uplifting trance.
In his sets he never goes for the easy option: dropping anthem after
anthem. Instead
he loves to tease his audience and bring them into a frenzy. This
year on the brink of a new Millennium, his future shines as never before,
culminating in the start of his own club brand at the highly regarded
Amsterdam Milky Way, called Earth and some beautiful remixes for artists
like Oliver Lieb, Destiny's Child and Junkie XL.
To top all of that his own releases 'My Lexicon' and 'Sacred' are
hammered by practically all premier league DJs such as Sasha, Pete Tong and
Seb Fontaine. Sasha
included these two critically acclaimed tracks on his Ibiza Global
Underground compilation. Sander
Kleinenberg is truly a man for the next Millennium. short
