how did we allow this to become a hit?
http://youtu.be/T9FpSHVkXEE can't find the embedded clip but its sander kleinenberg - this is not Miami this prog house DJs attempt at a cross over hit that kind of worked back in 2006, I mean you couldn't go to any party back then without hearing it , its so funny how certain music (usually ones that suck) are so time based because nobody would be caught dead spinning this or even listening to it in 2014, I'm sure not even sander himself.
wtf this shit

I remember this guy used to be one of my favorite DJs around... listened to "This Is Everybody" and "This Is Everybody Too" to death, went to see him at Arc (my favorite club back in the day) and was blown away. But then I saw him in Miami in '06 and listened to some of his livesets from that time and they were unlistenable.
I can't believe he went from "Buenos Aires" and "Venus and Mars" to "This Is Miami" and then the followup "This Is Your Night". Guy seemed to drop off the planet shortly after that.
He went in the minimal direction when he would have been MUCH better and much more suited to going off going in a Luke Fair/Danny Howells type direction.

That made me think of this one, which was amazing back then, which is why I'm not really disliking it:
*tear*
Not sure why there's so much hate for Sander now. I've listened to his recent sets, including the one at BPM in 2013 and the boat cruise set he did in like 2011 or 2010 in Miami (it's at Be@TV) and I enjoyed them both. I saw him last at Ryze in Nov. and the man put on a solid set. It definitely went across different genres...guy went old school hip hop too and even played Grandmaster Flash- The Message near the end of his set. He played a proper set, with peaks and valleys, and didn't feel myself getting bored at any point. He knows how to construct a set which is more than what i Can say for some some these other DJs that seem to get hyped up so much. (Carl Cox, Sasha, Nicole M., have heard many go nowhere sets by these DJs)
I love My Lexicon and all of his old school prog stuff and yeah his production style has changed now but he can still make great tunes and you can't expect him to be producing old school prog in 2014.
BTW, he belted out This is not Miami at UMF Korea in 2012 near the end of his hour set lol...definitely was playing more cheesy but he had the main stage. Personally I felt he balanced it, and didn't play too cheesy.
Bottom line, I still consider Sander K to be one of the greats. The man can adjust his style depending on the venue etc. and I love the deep bass inpsired tracks he plays.
Yeah I don't know how this ever went mainstream at all!
