SvD-style

Every successful artist’s story reads as a fairytale and Sander’s begins back in 2004, with the release of ‘Loaded’. The production skills he showed in his first releases ignited an earthquake in the international EDM community and catapulted him in the top-10 of biggest DJ’s worldwide. Hailed and hyped by all the big names, his typical ‘SvD-style’ productions topped the club charts worldwide and resulted in his first full length album ‘Supernaturalistic’ (2008). More big names started knocking on his door, which led to the massive collaboration with Robbie Williams (Close my Eyes) and the renowned remix of Sia’s ‘Girl on Cocaine’.

He also scored international radio hits like; ‘Love is Darkness’ and ‘Koko’ which was premiered by Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1. 'Koko' reached the #1 position on Beatport, The Cool Cuts Chart and the DMC UK Buzz Chart. Sander continued to work hard and the fruits of his labour resulted in his second album ‘Eleve11’ (2011). This gained him even more stardom and allowed him to perfect his already infamous live performances.

Spitting

While most artists take a short break after releasing an album, Sander kept spitting out Aclass releases like ‘Chasin’, ‘Nothing Inside’, ‘What Did I Do’ with Block Party singer Kele, ‘Drink To Get Drunk’, ‘Who’s Wearing The Cap’ with Laidback Luke and ‘Kangaroo’ with youngster Julian Jordan.
