Sander van Doorn Q&A
Before Sander van Doorn hit the decks at the W Hong Kong, Arthur Tam chatted with DJ Mag’s 12th-ranked DJ in the world to find out how he’s settling into the fame and notoriety
How did you get into DJing and when did you discover your passion for trance?
When I was about 16 and was going out, I knew that was the career for me. I think of music in a more general term, not specifically trance. So going out, I knew I loved the music – I didn't care what it was called.
Out of all the places you’ve toured, which was your favorite venue?
Hard one… I love to play anyplace that has amazing energy. The US is great for me right now and this tour to HK – I’m really looking forward to it.
Has all the fame and notoriety of having such a high ranking on DJ Mag’s list settled in?
Not really. I love my job, but you can't get used to the craziness. I'm getting better with it though!
What is the craziest story you have regarding a fan?
Fans can be fun and interesting some are stalkers, but in general, they're all amazing. One was in my dressing room acting like the promoter, which I knew wasn't the case. I let it go until the real promoter came in and took her out.
Is there anyone you are looking forward to do collaboration with?
I would like to work with Moby.
What can we expect from Sander Van Doorn in the future?
My new album Eleve11 just came out on Doorn Records, so hope everyone will check it out.
