Artist Line Up

Sander Van Doorn (Netherlands)

Pushing the boundaries of dance music is something that comes natural to Sander van Doorn. His relentless attitude to what he does is the core essence to his astonishing success, both as a DJ and as a world-class producer. Production after production, show after show, his reputation is one of flawless measure, and the best is still to come.

In just 4 years, and coming out of nowhere, Sander van Doorn is achieving stuff dreams are made of. Debuting in DJMag’s prestigious Top 100 poll at 32 in 2006 and then climbing 17 places to 15 in 2007 indicates the power and popularity of this man.

If you haven’t heard of Grasshopper, King of My Castle, By Any Demand and Riff then you’re probably not in tune with dance music. Every van Doorn production of 2007 has sent tidal waves through the electronic music industry with Djs from a multitude of genres slotting his work into their sets. Radio play of all four tracks was guaranteed, as were high chart positions, reaching the number one spot on more than one occasion. His remix of Sia’s ‘The Girl You Lost To Cocaine’ is the stuff classics are made of, and ‘The Bass’, the first single from Supernaturalistic is speaking for itself!

And so as 2008 gets well underway and the release of Sander’s long awaited debut long player is upon us, we find ourselves wondering where next for the boy from Eindhoven – two things are for sure. Sander van Doorn is here to stay and you’re going to be seeing a lot more of him!

Menno De Jong (Netherlands)

Master of numerous music industry disciplines, Menno de Jong has already carved enough notches on the dance tree for someone twice his age. His production & remix career has seen him record for some of Europe’s biggest trance labels and he’s the owner of lauded Dutch independent Intuition Recordings. A bona-fide Podcast pioneer, he’s produced and presented the much respected and widely-syndicated Intuition Radio show for the last 3 years. As a DJ he’s closed gigs for Tiësto & Paul van Dyk, is currently ranked at No. 62 in DJ Magazine’s Top 100 Chart and has spun in over 25 countries. At just 24 years old, he’s is without question the next challenger to the Dutch trance throne!

His production career started in auspicious fashion in 2004 when ‘Guanxi’, his debut production was signed to Anjunabeats. The consummate music workaholic, Menno has continued to conjure one magical, melodic feat after another. Double-header ‘Magma’/‘Momentum’ and ‘Sjamaan’ were released on Fundamental (in 2005 & 2007 respectively), while ‘Tundra’ (2005) and ‘Nolthando’/ ‘Solid State’ (2007) appeared on his own Intuition label.

As with studio production Menno also dabbled in DJing from an early age. At 17 he progressed from school discos & friends parties to a two year residency at an underground club in Eindhoven. Further charged by the reception ‘Guanxi’ received from DJs and still aged just 20 years old he threw himself into music nearly full-time, juggling his busy schedule with his studies at university. In the last three years he has successfully catapulted himself into the upper echelons of the trance DJ hierarchy. Having now spun in over 25 countries, Menno has played at clubs and events that are themselves the virtual synonyms of trance. Godskitchen, Gatecrasher, Creamfields, Trance Energy, Sensation White, Mysteryland, Amnesia Ibiza, Love Parade, Berlin, The Gaudi Arena in Moscow & WMC in Miami have all hosted his pin-point perfect tune selection and sophisticated mixing style.

Menno’s rise through the deck-spinning ranks has been suitably reflected in DJ Magazine’s annual Top 100 poll. He debuted at 72 in 2006 before rising 10 places to 62 a year later. He is also ranked at No. 10 in Trance Addict’s annual top 100 Trance DJs poll.

John O’Callaghan (Ireland)

John O’Callaghan’s rapid rise to fame has been nothing short of meteoric. He has stamped his authority on the global Trance community over the past two years; emerging as one of the Trance scenes leading talents.

Through both his solo releases and production partnerships he has flexed his production muscles on leading UK imprint Discover – delivering monster remixes and enormous singles such as “The Chamber”, “Restricted Motion”, and “Exactly”; which was one of the biggest tracks of 2006 and has already achieved classic status within one year of its release. 2007 was the year when John released his eagerly anticipated debut album ‘Something to Live For’. The album received critical acclaim from all corners of the globe and was described as “pure genius” by Discover label boss John Askew.

In 2007 John remixed Vandits "Thomas Bronzwaer – Constellation”. This led to remixes for Filo & Peri's "Anthem" as well. John has also recently released one of the biggest vocal tracks in recent years, “Big Sky” (featuring Audrey Gallagher). #1 DJ in the world Armin van Buuren was “totally in love” with John’s first vocal outing and immediately signed it to his own personal imprint on his Armada empire; Armind.
