EVENT REVIEW: Sander van Doorn with Jason Jollins at Pacha Saturday January 28th, 2012
Sander van Doorn with Jason Jollins at Pacha Saturday January 28th, 2012
Saturday, January 28th felt like one of the coldest nights I had experienced this winter. Normally when it is below freezing I find an excuse to stay indoors, because it’s not the most comfortable experience going out. That thought did not even cross my mind last night. Sander van Doorn was performing and I had to be there. I had been anticipating this event all month, and I was beyond excited to experience the energy that Sander creates while he’s performing.
I arrived at Pacha around 1:00am, right when Jason Jollins finished his opening set and prepared the decks for Sander van Doorn to take over the night. I have to say I wasn’t expecting Pacha to be as crowded as it was, due to the fact that Cosmic Gate had performed the night before. Needless to say, all of us trance loving New Yorkers are a bunch of troopers, and you could feel the exciting energy bouncing off of every one. It was a high- energy atmosphere, with fans, friends and familiar faces surrounding me. First song I heard which set the mood for the entire night, was his new track “What Did I Do”. I absolutely love this song, so for me and everyone else the night was already a success before it had begun. He let Pacha know he had arrived and it was going to be a fantastic night.
Sander van Doorn always seems to exceed my expectations. I have to say that when he performed at Electric Zoo this past year, his set was one of my favorites. His following runs so deep and he creates this underground vibe that makes everyone experience special. The entire night was perfect; Sander blew all of our minds with intense beats he was projecting out of the speakers. The bass shook the room, and every single person loved it. I heard most of my favorite tracks last night, which made the night even better. Sander doesn’t normally play a lot of vocals, but when he does he chooses wisely and it always meshes perfectly with his set. When “The Wall (Arty Remode Remix) came on, everyone went wild, including myself. For the fans out there he played his smash hits “Koko” and “Love is Darkness” which were absolutely thrilling. You couldn’t even hear the vocals of Carol Lee, because everyone was singing along. Sander had nothing but a smile on his face all night, connecting with the crowd. He stays true to his style with beats that shake the room, and melodies that are magic to your ears. It’s no surprise to me why he has such a following, especially here in New York. He didn’t end his set until after 4:00am. I remember looking down at my watch and it was 4:10, and he wasn’t finished. Seeing Sander van Doorn work his magic is an experience. He truly is a great talent in the industry, and if you have not experienced Sander live, you are missing out.
