Sanders van Doorn - Live in SLAM!Koningsdag 2015

Known for his versatile style and continuously fresh sounds, it’s no wonder Dutch DJ/Producer Sander van Doorn has been in the game for more than 15 years and is still on the rise. In addition to his legendary contributions to the industry, his passion and talent continues to pave the way for the future of EDM.

来自荷兰的电子音乐制作人，Sanders van Doorn，出道 15 年，多才多艺的他持续创造着新鲜的音乐。除了他在音乐事业上伟大的成就外，他的热情和天赋也为 EDM 的未来铺平了道路。

In addition to his own hit tracks, Sander threw in some epic remixes of songs from artists like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Coldplay. The visuals were a ton of fun too, with fog guns that literally whited out the room in tandem with his biggest drops. Before his performance at Electric Zoo Countdown Shanghai, let’s see see the interview about him.

除了他自己的作品，他还为红辣椒、Coldplay 等知名音乐人的音乐做过混音，都非常有意思。就是这么一位 EDM 界资深的前辈，他将要来到 Electric Zoo Countdown Shanghai 给大家带来表演！我们先看看关于他的采访。

Do you have a favorite show or festival memory of all time? Tough question, I know.

Actually it’s a very easy question! I used to go, as a clubber, to a festival back home called Dance Valley. It still goes on every year. I told my friends at one point, “Someday I’m going to play here myself,” and they laughed and said, “OK yeah yeah, whatever.” And I did!

When I did play there, my mom was there as well at the front of the crowd. So everybody was like, “I hear you’re Sander’s mom!” And she was like “Yeah yeah!” Then they asked her, “Can I have his phone number?” and she gave my phone number to like everyone who was there! So I finished my set and I got all these random text messages, “Hey great set man! Cheers, Eric” and I’m just like…who’s Eric?

And of course after my mom was telling me how she met all these nice people, how everyone was so friendly and they asked for my phone number…haha so I was like, “Thanks, thanks a lot mom! Now I need to change my number...”

第一个问题，不太好回答：你有什么记忆深刻的表演或者在音乐节的演出吗？

我觉得挺容易的呀！以前，我常常去一个叫 Dance Valley 的音乐节玩，当观众，这个音乐节现在每年也还有。那时候，我就跟我朋友讲，总有一天我会在这边演出。然后他们笑说，好啦好啦，你说会就会！没想到，后来我真的去那儿演出了！

我演的时候，我妈妈站在人群的最前面。很多人跑去问她，你是不是 Sander 的妈妈，她都很兴奋地表示“是啊是啊”。然后他们问可不可以把 Sander 的电话号码给他们，我妈妈就把我的号码给了他们！演出结束后，我收到了无数条的短信告诉我“今天的演出不错哦，祝贺你，XXX”。

我一头雾水，XXX 是谁？直到后来妈妈把事情原委告诉了我，才知道怎么回事。

Did you end up having to change your number?

I did end up having to change my number, yes!

你后来换号码了吗？

对，我不得不换了号码。

How did you originally get into music in general?

Well my brother used to buy a lot of records like A-ha and Toto back in the 80s, so he kind of brought me up into the whole music side of things. So when I was 16 I really started to DJ a little bit more, produce music, and that’s kind of how the ball started rolling.

你是怎么开始玩音乐的？

在 80 年代我哥哥经常会买很多唱片回来，我跟着他也开始了解了各种各样的音乐。当我 16 岁我开始尝试成为 DJ，尝试去制作音乐，于是雪球就越滚越大了。

When you first started DJing at 16, you obviously didn’t have all the technology out today. What did you use?

Actual vinyl! I remember the very first track I played as a professional DJ over in Switzerland, and the whole record skipped. I just saw the needle float all the way to the end and just thought, “This is not happening right now.” So I was really happy when technology went from vinyl to CD, and these days, for me, from CD to SD. You just plug it in and you have all your tracks there. Plus, you can still do the whole scratching part, so that really works for me.

你16岁时肯定不像现在有很多的技术支持，当时你使用的是什么？

当然是黑胶，我还记得我第一次作为职业 DJ 在瑞士表演，我眼睁睁看着唱针一直跳针，心想怎么可以这时候发生这种事！所以我很高兴现在的技术把唱片带到了 CD，又从 CD 带到了 SD。你只要把它插进电脑，一切就解决了。

If you could pick any other genre of music to be a rockstar at, like you are with EDM, what would it be?

Hmm…I would go more towards Radiohead or Seger Ross. Moody guitar melodies, definitely.

如果你换种音乐类型，你喜欢什么样的？

我想我会做类似 Radiohead 或者 Seger Ross 这样的。那种喜怒无常的吉他旋律。

What’s your dream collaboration?

I would definitely like to do a track with Moby someday; I’ve always been a big fan of his. Besides that I don’t know…I really like producing on my own haha. So I don’t have any big ones in mind.

你最想和谁合作？

我很想和 Moby 合作一首曲子，我是他的粉丝。除此之外，可能没有其他人了吧，因为我其实比较喜欢自己做音乐，哈哈。

So for your own label, Doorn Records, what do you look for in the artists you bring on?

The basic thing is to be original. Something that surprises me – it doesn’t matter what genre you produce. It can be house, EDM, more moody or melodic, as long as I really like it.

那你的厂牌 Doorn Records，你会选一些什么样的音乐人？

原创是最基础的标准。然后，要有一些让我觉得惊艳的东西。我喜欢更有旋律性的东西，风格，我倒不介意。

Speaking of different genres, you’ve had roots in trance and have grown to be a leader in house. How would you define house music today?

I define the whole genre as being very diverse. Obviously EDM got really big over the last couple of years, and you’re now seeing other styles pop up left, right and center, whether it’s future house sounds, more big room house sounds, etc. I think it’s time for something different. I’ve noticed that I’ve started to play more and more different genres, even some techno as well! I think the market is ready for that, for a little more diversity.

说到不同的曲风，你是从 Trance 开始慢慢成为 House 的领军者。所以，你是如何定义 House 的呢？

我认为曲风现在越来越多样化了。很明显，EDM 近年来发展迅速，不管是 Future House 还是 Big Room House 或别的，都在成长。我觉得是时候要做一些不一样的了，我也在尝试着做一些不同的曲风，甚至是 T echno！市场对这些变化已经做好准备了。

You’ve been so successful for so long. What do you see yourself doing moving forward? Do you have a five-year plan?

Five-year plan, oh man long-term! I hope I’m still playing. I love what I’m doing right now so my goal is to keep on doing this for as long as possible. If at one point one of my nephews or nieces tell me, “Oh, you’re too old to DJ” then maybe I’ll stop DJing haha. But I’m still going strong. I’m really happy that after 14 years I’m still here, and I’m still really excited every single time I’m up there playing. So yeah, hope to keep going as long as possible!

有没有五年计划？

五年计划太长了！我喜欢我现在做的事情，而且我希望能一直做下去，一直表演。如果有天我的侄子或侄女对我说：“你已经老到不适合当 DJ 了！” 说不定，我才会停下来，哈哈。不过我仍然在越变越强，我很高兴在经历了 14 年后，我依然在干这行，每次上台表演，我都还是非常激动。所以，希望这一切都能保持下去！

Any pre-show habits?

Well waking up is a long process for me haha. My sleep schedule’s a bit crazy. We played in Miami last night, and missed our flight…but we took another one, and now we’re here! So pre-show it’s just trying to settle in, absorb the vibe of the club, and just take it from there.

演出前有什么习惯？

哈哈哈，嗯，从睡醒到真的醒过来，需要花点时间。我的生物钟有那么点不正常。昨天我在 Miami 演出，然后错过了航班，改签了另一班来到这里，所以，演出前就是要从上一个环境抽身出，融入现在的氛围中。
