Sam Sharp

Real Name:
Sander Ketelaars
Profile:
Born on the 28th of February 1979, Sam’s passion for music already started at a young age. At the age of 16 though, Sam discovered the thru thrill of making music when he played some records for the first time on 2 really bad turntables! This new hobby was to be expanded with producing when he began experimenting with a drum computer at the age of 17.

This experimenting resulted in a first release a few years later, which was shortly followed by 2 other releases. Not yet satisfied about the results of these songs, Sam began focusing entirely on how to make the productions sound stronger and better. Influenced by techno, trance and progressive, Sam now worked on creating his own distinctive style. Dynamic, drive and climax are the key features of the new Sam Sharp sound.

100% devotion and full-time quality improvement resulted in collaboration with Spinnin’ Records. This has led to successful productions such as remixes on Ron van den Beuken’s "Timeless", E-Graig’s "The Beat Goes On" and Randy Katana's "One Solid Wave" and has led to the debut release "Twister" which has already received massive support!

Review by DJ_Akilliz Jan 18, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
Certainly for me the revelation of year 2004.

Sam Sharp aka Sander van Doorn aka Sandler is simply amazing. Every single one of his productions and remixes are top quality. As Sam Sharp he has defined a new genre of dance music which I call TechTrance. He has given a new much needed refreshing sound to Trance music. But his productions vary from Progressive (SvD remixes) to Trance and beyond. If his first tracks are that good, I can only imagine of what he will come out with in the future as he gains more experience. Great works. Check out everything of him. I even discovered recently that he co-produced Frequence - Summer Melodies which was a really sweet tune which I loved at the time and I have even used it in an old amateur DJ set of mine. Only time will tell how big this guy will get and I say he will.
