Sander van Doorn — Electro House DJ & Label OwnerSander van Doorn
Sander Ketelaars, known as Sander van Doorn, is a Dutch DJ from Eindhoven whose recording career began in 2004 with tech-trance releases on Oxygen Recordings. He later established Doorn Records in 2007 and released his debut album Supernaturalistic through Spinnin'. That period brought him the Best Breakthrough DJ award at the 2007 International Dance Music Awards in Miami.
His DJ sound developed from tech house and progressive house into vocal-driven electro house and EDM, while notable remix work included Armin van Buuren's Control Freak, Tiësto's Dance4Life and Lady Gaga's Marry the Night. Van Doorn held an Amnesia Ibiza residency in summer 2010 and had earlier regular DJ slots at Judgement Sunday in Ibiza and The Gallery in London. The Dusk Till Doorn show at Toronto's Guvernment closed his 2010 North American tour, and the related compilation and releases later earned a Dutch Silver Harp.
His festival work has included Bal en Blanc, Beyond Wonderland, Electric Zoo and Transmission, followed by a residency at Sensation events worldwide and an Ultra Miami appearance in 2012. From 2013 to 2021, he hosted Identity on Digitally Imported; it grew to more than 70 stations worldwide and finished after 623 episodes. Across touring, his label and radio programming, Sander van Doorn has sustained a flexible DJ identity grounded in evolving club music.
