Biography
Who Is Sander Kleinenberg, you ask? The answer is simple, though the man behind it is not.
He commands respect as a prolific producer and international touring DJ where among the music elite, Sander is regarded as one of the best in his craft. The Winter Music Conference voters also named him European DJ of the year for 2006 and Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson call him for remixes. If that isnt enough, he runs his own record label Little Mountain Recordings and he is the first DJ in the world to mix with DVDs This Is Sander Kleinenberg. This Is his world and you are dancing in it.
As a DJ, Sander plays the finest electronic dance music and has graced the decks of the best clubs and festivals worldwide. His sets are internationally renowned and in 2001 his Radio 1 Essential Mix was voted best of the year. 2006 saw Sander successfully launch his own This Is nights around the world, which have included performances at Pacha Ibiza, Ministry of Sound London, Panama in Amsterdam, Redlight in Paris and at Crobar New York.
Always one to push the boundaries, Sander was one of the first DJs to embrace the audio-visual technology wholeheartedly in his performance. He is an innovator and creates his own explosive video content which has been incredibly well received around the world and includes the music video for THIS IS!! Using the new DVJs in the booth, Sander can have full control over the visual elements that are usually left to a club's own VJ, which allows him to express himself using a new medium DVD. Using the DVJ allows Sander to really stamp his personality on the night through the images, and custom video content, which also helps him connect with his audience on another level.
Sander is also an accomplished producer, who first appeared on the dance radar in 1996 with the now infamous NY Club Anthem "Y.D.W. (You Do Me Wrong)", which was released on Strictly Rhythm under his production moniker S&S Project. But it was in 2000 when the world really started to take notice when he released a string of EPs called 4 seasons, and specifically My Lexicon which was played by every notable DJ across the globe and shot Sander to instant stardom. He has since had club hits as The Fruit a genre bending piece of funk and This Is Miami, which was one of the biggest tunes of 2006. Sander has also remixed tracks for the likes of Royksopp, Mylo and Sasha & Emerson and in 2004 he won the DanceStar Award for Best Remix of 'Rock Your Body by Justin Timberlake.
The Global Underground NuBreed CD marked Sanders first release in a series of high profile mix compilations on some of the worlds most prestigious dance labels. This list includes the 2002 launch of the 'Everybody' compilations for Renaissance, and 'This is Everybody Too' following in 2004. After the success of these compilations Sander then released This is Everybody on Tour in 2005 through his own label Little Mountain Recordings.
It all started simply enough. The son of artists, Sander grew up in rural eastern Holland. He did the things that normal kids do. He played with dirt, ate paste, dabbled in football and learned his lessons. But the other kids knew he was different when he got his first turntable and headphones and fell in love with DJ culture. Soon, as the result of Sanders incessant record playing, he was asked to DJ at his school disco. A talent was officially launched, and an entire schoolyard was ahead of its time. At 15, Sander started his first DJ residency at a small bar around the corner from his home.
Sander's musical taste has always been very eclectic. "By the time I was 14, I was listening to stuff like Mantronix," he recalls. "I was heavily influenced by American and British dance music. Remixes by Shep Pettibone, the sleeve art from Jon "Jellybean" Benitez releases, loops by Simon Harris, the movie Beat Street and Depeche Mode concerts.
It was this cocktail of influences that informed the taste of the budding Sander, and led him to making music of his own; launching a career that 15 years later sees him travelling all over the world and being one of the biggest DJs of the moment with Americas influential Urb Magazine describing Sander's career as "that of a slow but steady build culminating in absolute frenzy."
One things for sure, hes not your average superstar DJ, he's the guy who writes songs called 'Frog Dancing' and 'Slipper Sleaze' yet still gets away with itThis Is Sander Kleinenberg.
