Anyone else getting kind of tired of Sander van Doorn?

Starting off this year he was one of my top prospects as he was to many other TAs. His sets had energy as did his productions that weren't being found too often in the trance realm. Recently his sets have gone south because it seems he has fallen into the "man this 2005 Swedish House Mafia tech house stuff is so fresh lets play entire sets of it" crevasse. All his sets post-Essential Mix (which in all honesty was over half tech house, still good) have gone more and more tech house. And despite me still liking his productions and remixes, they are once again starting to sound a bit samey.

I still wouldn't mind seeing him live, but listening to his sets at home I'm beginning to yawn. And I'm liking less and less of his productions and remixes. Maybe he should do another Sam Sharp release.

I love him still, but that may be cuz I'm a mafia addict

No.

Would you say the same about Eric Prydz or Steve Angello back in 2005?

SvD: I still like his productions under his "Purple Haze" alias most. That definitely did not change.

He has more to offer than just one style (see it from the positive side!) so you might dislike this and that. He doesn't need to be a chameleon though...

He just wants more money.

i still don't rate him. he's produced a lot, but a lot of it has been too samey. It's ok for a bit, but soon tires because of this

I doubt that, he isn't big enough to earn a huge amount of money for it to matter.

It does seem, once again, like he's

No problem. The not listening to him at all really helped.

Heh, true

Not really and I still like him but I can see people saying he's taking the route that Markus did.

I never really took to him as a DJ at all, and I began to bore of his productions a very long time ago. Another one of 'those people' that I wish would just fuck off really.

The way I look at it is if you are going to put hard dance sounds and elements in tracks/sets it needs to be at a higher bpm than what SvD plays at. Hard Prog makes no sense to me at all and it sound awful.

Really like Punk'd and stuff...but I dont see what the fuss is about...

Can't we just wait to start bashing another great dj/producer until he reaches at least top 10 status on the dj mag poll? Seems like you all are jumping the gun rather early here.

I still like Sander, saw him at Dance Valley and he was one of the best sets there imo! Once in a while he takes his sets to weird and stupid places but I find for the most part he's full of energy and is a dancefloor destroyer.

Not digging the current direction they're going = bashing?

As far as DOOMBOT is concerned, if you're not down on your knee's and tonguing their balls then technically you are 'bashing' them.

Fanboys.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXACTLY!

Edit: On a serious note, I'm just happy to see the guy not take the route mostly all bigger djs are taking. He has pretty much developed his own sound and style with his tracks and his sets. That, to me, is a great thing for people who enjoy EDM and the scene in general. Its neat you can go see a dj like Armin, PvD, Tiesto, etc.. and hear them drop his tracks. Then you go see him perform a dj set and it sounds nothing like what they are playing.

No reason to say: "I still like ...." You like his style or you do not. Period. I like his style. (Period! )

I can only partially agree to this. He has managed to retain a particular sound, but to me it's slowly morphed more and more into the sound of yesteryear's tech house jocks. He isn't dropping 1983 at the beginning of some generic trance set, but instead dropping an old, played out Axer - 1, 2, 3 in a generic tech house set with some tech trance/techno to back it up. Seems tired to me.

Never was a fan. Never heard him much. Don't like that type of music.
