Born on 28 February 1979, Sander Van Doorn made his first big musical achievement by securing residencies at Judgement Sunday in Ibiza, Spain and at the Gallery in London, England, after getting started in 2004. In 2006 he did an essential mix for BBC Radio One in the United Kingdom. In addition to his original mixes, he has also remixed a number of notable artists’ songs including Sia, The Killers, Swedish House Mafia, Depeche Mode, Armin Van Burren, and Arctic Monkeys.
In March 2008 Van Doorn released his first full-length album entitled “Supernaturalistic” with Spinnin’ Records, a Dutch independent label. Also that same year he won an award for 'Best Breakthrough DJ' in the International Dance Music Awards at the Miami Winter Music Conference. His music was well received by both fans and electronic music critics around the world, and during the summer of 2010 he had residency at the world famous Amnesia nightclub in Ibiza, Spain. He has since played a number of major music festivals including the Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas, Nevada in the United States and Transmission in Prague, Czech Republic.
In 2011 Van Doorn released his second album, “Eleve11” and played at Energy, Mysteryland, EDC and started a residency at worldwide Sensation festivals. In addition to continual releases of his songs and remixes, he also started his own monthly internet radio show called "Identity" on Digitally Imported radio.
Sander Van Doorn’s performance at Ultra Music festival in Miami, Florida, USA was nothing short of exhilarating, as was expected. The Netherlands born DJ, who has collaborated with artists like The Killers and Lady Gaga brought a show that was so full of energy not dancing was not an option; especially with such a packed crowd.
The hour-long set started out strong, with a lot of anticipation being built up until a sky full of streamers hot the peak of the first song. Unfortunately the MC for the show was a little too much and kept trying to pump up a crowd that was already ready to go. Sander really just needed to continue doing his thing without the help of the MC. The stage was really simple, which made sense because it was still light out, but there was still some background light synced to the music; but to make up for it, there were a few stage dancers. Sander was also very crowd engaging, getting the crowd up and moving with his arm pumping.
The best part about the set was the fact that he drew so many different people. At Ultra people are coming from all around the world and during his set you saw a lot of different country flags, all enjoying the music that Sander was playing.
