This is… Sander Kleinenberg
Sander Kleinenberg and Renaissance return to present the first musical installment of his ‘This Is’ moniker...
Sander Kleinenberg is a man who needs little introduction, between his many roles as DJ, label boss and producer he also finds time to host parties under his ‘This Is…’ moniker. With residencies ranging from his native Amsterdam via Paris and Ibiza, alongside countless individual, headline appearances, he has delivered his unique musical vision to the world. Sander himself expands, “"I have always battled the idea of genres and labelling that goes on in today's world. Versatility makes a DJ strong. It makes it easier for them to adjust to different rooms, different countries, different atmospheres in general."
And its this versatility that provides the backbone to the first ‘This Is…’ compilation. "It's like a puzzle”, he says, “You have 28 pieces, and somehow, you are going to make it all work together." And what a puzzle, between each 14-track mix – Left & Right – he weaves a diverse selection of labels and artists sourcing the likes of Disk Jokke from Get Physical off-shoot Kindisch, Tom Novy’s personal tribute to Sander on his ‘Moscow Never Sleeps’ remix and the excellent Gui Boratto re-work of Robert Babicz’ ‘Sin’ – and that’s just the first disc! Turning ‘Right’ we find an acapella from Italy’s Siciana Soul marrying Rhythm & Sound; Nic Fanciulli’s incredible remix of Martin Eyerer & Stephan Hinz; Motorcitysoul taking on David K to stunning effect and the much hyped Dubfire interpretation of Smith & Selway’s ‘Transit Time’ to name but a few; as Sander perfectly sums up, “It’s about merging genres and creating new ones. Enjoy!”

those 2 CDs actually look pretty super .. not the biggest sander fan (both DJwise or productionwise) but tracklisting looks edible by my standards (even with a few older tunes on there)
This is as close as you will get to a classic sounding Sander... its a worth the listen, you just have to put the last 2 cds (pants..) behind him.
Everybody & Everybody Too had thier place when the came out respectively.
Both were awesome party mixes.
I find it most ironic that you have "i liked you better before you sold out" in your signature gumble when you say something like that.
"Party Mix" is a great term for "Sell Out"
Nice to see Sander 'progressing' rather than regressing has been the case for some time now.

Im not going to pretend to have ever disliked him, ive always found his sets different, regardless of if hes playing electro he still seems to mix it together very well 
This looks interesting indeed
using the term "mix" loosely (excuse the pun) right? :P

HERE IS WHAT OUR RESIDENT REVIEWER THOUGHT OF THE RELEASE:
From WorldDJ.
The first 'This Is' compilation, on Renaissance, Sander Kleinenberg has picked twenty-eight unique pieces of music to collate two CDs of deep and diverse sounds. With the CD's aptly titled 'Left' and 'Right,' 'This Is Sander Kleinenberg' holds promises of something special.
Fundamental in the history of dance music, Sander Kleinenberg has constantly been at the forefront of electronic music. Always pushing the boundaries of genres and forging new ones, it is for this reason that Sander's DJ sets have become so notorious for their diverse and unique sound.
The melodic intro of 'Folk I Farta,' is used to start the mix off as the beat soon drops in and gets the mix going. Sander's electro influenced sound, shines through in tracks like 'Loosen Up Children,' and Bad Mouth's 'Anymore.' Just as the sounds begins to sound straightforward, the combination of 'Moscow Traffic' and the melodic beauty 'Dusty Horizon' by Roland Klinkenberg cause a fast shift in mood and atmosphere and portray that Kleinenberg sound.
Slowing building the mood up, Sander keeps the sound atmospheric with tracks including Tom Novy's tribute remix of 'Moscow Never Sleeps.' It isn't long before more electro house songs begin appearing, yet there's still that constantly melody present throughout. Towards the end of his 'Left' CD, Kleinenberg even gets a little techy with the Gui Boratto remix of 'Sin' and just off his new album, the wonderful vocal tune 'Beautiful Life.'
Despite sounding well intended, the intro to 'Right' is a slight bit bizarre and off turning, the acapella of 'Mutual Dependency' and the track 'Jah Rule' are a far sight different to that of any on the first disc and are only saved by the timely arrival of Bushwacka's 'Remember.' Sander takes more time with 'Right,' playing slower and even at times more minimal tracks, with one of my favourites being the Nic Fanciulli remix of 'Tucan.'
The mix stays quite solid, not particularly going anywhere nor dropping, until Quivver's 'Dancing In Dark Rooms,' a more Electro inclined track the vocals offer nothing interesting. 'Game Over' would be one of the most unique electro tunes Sander has offered, with a generic bassline the percussion and riffs form a nice change and help to prepare you for the epic 'Transit Time.' Opting to finish the album off with this minimalistic tune it nicely rounds this disc off as the final vocal sample kicks in.
With so much experience and understanding of his art Sander Kleinenberg has produced a rather nice compilation of electro and house, infused with elements from other genres and sounds. Despite the overall effort, Sander doesn't really build up to anything nor take the mix anywhere new, regardless it's still a solid effort with lots of nice tunes to boast.
My god 'Tucan' is awesome, probably the best track of both discs
i've had a listen to this cd and it's very good.
now tour again mr k!
