Sander Kleinenberg on the 6th anniversary of the Slava club

Клубные российские · 09.07.2004

On July 10, the Slava club will celebrate its 6th anniversary with a grand party. The special guest of which will be, in addition to all the friends of the club, Sander Kleinenberg!
Sander Kleinenberg was born and raised in East Holland, where he began his musical career at the fairly young age of 15. His first performances as a DJ took place in a bar closest to his home. In his town he was known as "the guy with the headphones," which he seemed to have had on his head forever. He had to mix anything to make the owners of the bar where he played happy. After becoming a world famous DJ and producer, he still follows the same strategy of making people happy.
Sander Kleinenberg's musical taste has always been very eclectic. When he was 14, he was exposed to the likes of Mantronix, Shep Pettibone remixes, Jon "Jellybean" Benitez, Simon Harris, Beat Street and Depeche Mode. It was this cocktail that shaped the taste of the budding Kleinenberg and led him to the creation of his own music and the start of a “stellar” career. Just last year he flew more than 400,000 kilometers by air, touring around the world.
In 1996, Sander Kleinenberg played his track "Y.D.W. (You Do Me Wrong)" for the first time at the New York club Anthem. The track was later released on the Strictly Rhythm label. This track was played first by Junior Vasquez and Danny Tenaglia, and then by all the other DJs. But real fame came to Kleinenberg after the release of an already classic track called "My Lexicon". Remixes for Royksopp, Sasha, Darren Emerson and PMT's "Deeper Water" only complemented his biography of a successful producer.
His tracks are included in the Global Underground albums: "Sasha: Ibiza" and "Deep Dish: Moscow". In 2001, Danny Howells made mixes of his tracks for the album "Nubreed 4". Also in 2001, Sander received one of the most prestigious awards - Muzik Magazine Award for 'Best Radio 1 Essential Mix of 2001'. Ranks 15th in the Top 100 DJ's of the world. Urb Magazine described Kleinenberg's career with the phrase "that of a slow but steady build is culminating in absolute frenzy."
In the early summer of 2003, his third 'Four Seasons EP' was released and the first of a series of mixes for Essential, with which Sander hoped to shake up all the dance communities of the Planet. What is the secret of his success? Here is his own opinion on this matter: “You have to grow and change as an artist, while maintaining your own artistic voice, your own identity, regardless of fashion trends, I think you see this in my work.”
