DJ-Set | Sensation: Denmark Review/Full DJ-Sets
Posted by CHAZZZ on November 12, 2012
Please, please, please, do yourself a huge favor and pull out your bucket list, to-do list, or whatever you have. Cross out all the other items and write this on the top row, in big, bold letters: See a Sensation concert.
I love live music, so I’ve been to many concerts and festivals over the years in the United States. Many of them have been amazing, but Sensation in Copenhagen, Denmark just blew all my past concert experiences out of the water. If you’re not familiar with Sensation, it is a massive all-night electro/house event where everyone is required to wear white.
Last Weekend, I arrived to Parken Stadium a bit early to make sure to be able to catch all five DJs on the lineup for the night (Mr. White, Riva Starr, Man With No Shadow, Sharam and Sander Van Doorn). Despite the near-freezing weather, two hours before the doors had even opened the streets were completely packed with people creatively dressed head-to-toe in all white.
All of the friendly Danish people seemed to know the routine: pregame early, and get ready to rage until 3am. I’ve learned a lot while I’ve been abroad, but one of the main things that sticks out no matter what country I’m in is this: Europeans can party. I’ve never seen anything like it. Europeans have the ability to make us (Americans) look like 60 year olds ready for a jazz festival in the local park…
More review and full sets after the jump
Progressive House | Inpetto – Shhhh! (Sander van Doorn Edit)
Posted by Middy on October 1, 2012
One of Sander van Doorn’s many IDs at Electric Zoo, “Shhhh!”, follows the rising trend of “Edits” by big name producers on tracks from smaller guys that help promote the song and also tweak it a little to make it just that much better. “Shhhh!”, the German brother duo’s follow up to “Yucassin” keeps much of the melodic, big room sound they have become known for, while adding grinding synths and thumping bass to the drop.

Events, FYI | Grand Opening: Echostage D.C.
Posted by Spice on September 19, 2012
To live in D.C. is to get some of the very best electronic music acts brought to your front door.
Yes, I realize that some of you may be raising your eyebrows right now (looking at you, New York), but trust me. We’re quietly killing it down here, and it’s all thanks to a little outfit called Panorama Productions, the brains and brawn behind promotion company Club Glow, which has been connecting the nation’s capital with the genre’s biggest names since 1999. This Saturday, things are going to get even more serious: Club Glow will preside over the launch of D.C.’s first EDM venue, Echostage, a roughly 4000-capacity space with an equally massive sound system that will host huge billings every week. For district area dance fans, this is literally monumental. Club Glow has been operating primarily out of Josephine and Fur Nightclub for the past few years, and the recent explosion of dance music has made the need for a bigger and better venue that much more urgent.
The Echostage launch party kicks off this Saturday with Sander Van Doorn and Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano, and the calendar shows no signs of slowing down; Dada Life, Armin van Buuren, Avicii, Dirty South, and Tiesto are already lined up, and we’re still in the very early days. If you live in the Midatlantic and are starved of that 128 bpm fix, head over to Echostage’s website and Facebook page and scope the details — because this is about to be big.
DJ-Set, Events, House | Electric Zoo Sets: Day 2
Posted by Middy on September 5, 2012
Here are sets from day two with some outstanding stuff from the Bingo Players, Mord Fustang, Axwell and more. This is selection of not only the MainStage, but also Riverside and Hilltop, though it is a bit disappointing that none of the Sunday School sets were recorded. Anyway there a lot of these sets so get to listening if you haven’t finished up on Day 1 yet.
Electro-House | Sander van Doorn & Julian Jordan – Kangaroo
Posted by Middy on August 20, 2012
This song has all the hallmarks of Julian Jordan’s heavy electro house style with Sander van Doorn almost acting as the master making sure all of the pieces are properly put in place. Sander van Doorn is an adaptable producer, as shown from his shift from trance to house, however this is such an abrupt change from his previous productions that the break had to have come from the young 17 year old Julian Jordan. It is heavy, like punch to the gut heavy, as it starts with an easy going melody and steady bass line that does not prepare you for the high pitched synths, growling undertones and thumping bass that barrel down on you in the break.
House | Kap Slap – Nothing Inside Molly (ft. The Wanted, Sander Van Doorn, Cedric Gervais)
Posted by Juicebox on July 31, 2012
If you’re under the age of 22 (unless you’re BIGLIFE or Van Wilder) you’re ready for your summer internship to be over and ready for partying, I mean classes, to start back up again. Kap Slap has conveniently released his latest single, “Nothing Inside Molly,” to help get you in the right mind set. As expected, Kap Slap delivers yet again with another flawless bootleg that’s guaranteed to start the party.
Electro-House | D!RTY AUD!O x Danilo – Lifestyle & Sander van Doorn – Chasin’ (D!RTY AUD!O Remix)
Posted by Sev on July 12, 2012
D!RTY AUD!O is back at it again teaming up with Dutch producer Danilo to create this Electro-house banger. Both of these up coming artist have stepped out of their usual genres to work on this unique collaboration that has a nice bouncy vibe to it. Influences from both sides can be seen as the intro starts of nice and slow with some House-style buildups and progressions. As the track slowly builds up to the drop we see some filtering and then we get that catchy bouncy Electro drop.
I couldn’t help but post this outstanding remix by D!RTY AUD!O as well for the Sander Van Doorn remix competition. With so many of these competitions currently ongoing it is nice to support these growing artist who are trying to become recognized by the big names. After listening to this remix a few times it was hard to find any flaws within the track, which is why it secured my vote right away. Take a listen to the track and if you feel the same be sure to give him a vote as well. The preview is posted below with the Beatport voting link HERE.
