I love Sander Kleinenberg!
Woke up @ 9am Saturday morning and text messaged everyone who it concerned:
HAPPY SANDER DAY, IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!
I got to Stereobar with Piett at around 10:45pm. Bad idea. I have been there sooooooo many times before and Saturday night was just really ridiculous. The heat was overwhelming (I wasn't even dancing!), it took about 20 minutes to get a drink and the music was meh. Message to all DJs: PLZPLZPLZ stop playing Du Wut U Du...yes, it is a great track but it's old! Not something I wanna hear b4 Sander.
At around 2am, I was VERY drunk. Mon dieu, Erika dossssseeeeeee, sooooo drunk! I love the drink deal thing but it helps accelerate the fatigue. (The fact that I had been awake since 9am Saturday morning listening to all of my Sander stuff didn't help either.) I just wanted to get the fuck outta Stereobar. I hadn't been to Stereo since Porter in January and I was soooooo excited to be back home There was a small line up for the coatcheck/search but all went well. XL was doing a nice job when I got there and continued to do so til Sander got there...
SANDER-FKN-KLEINENBERG ---> We went to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of PROG!!!
Forget about a DJ saving your night/life.
Talk about a musical engineer who totally CHANGED my life.
I have been in LOVE with Sander's music since his 1st album, Everybody, and my passion for his music has only gotten more and more serious with time. All along in my posting on TA, I have always said that Sander K is just a special DJ. I can't put my finger on it and I can't find the word to describe how great he is. From his style of music to his sheer charisma he has with every track he throws down as well as the crowd, he is just so special. He got on at 5am and didn't stop til 1pm. I think his absolute last track finished up at 1:10pm. I recognized soooooooo many tracks he spun, his mixing was flawless. A track would be finishing up, and BAM! another fkn mind blowing bassline was already controlling my body and the way it moved. Control...that's exactly what he had over me. Track selection, mixing, technical ability behind the decks, all excellent. OMG and crowd connection! Usually, I always try to limit my smiling with the DJ from the dancefloor just because I don't wanna seem like a freak. But Sander (again) was just special. My eyes were locked on him the entire time I was on that dancefloor (other than when I turned around to my friends to express my sheer amazement at the reatrded bassline he had pumping). I had a constant smile on my face (which is really wierd, ppl tell me I look pissed most of the time when I dance hard). And all those times he made that great dancer-to-DJ connection, omg his smile...his winks, everything about him made my night so perfect.
BY FAR MY BESTEST EVER NIGHT AT STEREO...since I've been in the scene, so let's see...since last May And I had some SICK nights there in 2005. I was there wayyyyy more than I am now. The vibe was the best I've ever seen at Stereo, as well as everything else that goes along with a night. Just perfection.
Too many tracks to name, all you impatient ppl who were coming up to me at like noon and saying WTF he's not gonna drop This Is Not Miami...HE DID DROP IT IN LAST 40 MINUTES OF HIS SET! HAHAHAHAHA, I knew he would, Sander wouldn't disappoint me 
Okay, time for people now...Piett, Mitsutranza (last minute show up hahaha!!! I wouldn't let you miss Sander bro, you got me into him), Azia, allnitefreak, shawn05, magikb, x-cube, mtlnights, Maher Daniel, Enjoy, Jesteraver, oneeleven, princess kim, kongah, elie, Marcus007, mushyflowa, ariaclubber, funkenlouis, wisnia (only at stereobar tho), ummmm...so sure there are more...SO MANY TAs, SO NICE TO SEE! Luv you all...especially my brave troppers, til the end for Sander, THE END!
At one point, someone I know (but currently forget who it was) came up to me and asked me when I was leaving. I said : Never.
I sat it out for the 1st hour and a half of Sander's set just because I felt so nervous that he was actually here, that was the moment I'd been waiting for and for so long! Plus I was totally drunk and excessively tired.
Special moments: allnitefreak screaming out, "SANDER FUCKED MY WASHING MACHINE!" LOLOLOLOL!!! Me yelling out, "Sander I love you, you're so good/hot/amazing!" as well as "NUMBER ONE DJ" mmmaaannnnyyyy times especially towards the end. I also got to sort of meet him lol...I was in the booth and he was heavily into his mix, he looks up at me gazing at him and waves and winks. I was floored. I wonder if his teeth are real. He's so hot.
I can't say right yet if it was better than BeB...not really a fair comparison in my eyes but whatever...SANDER OWNED ME ALL NIGHT LONG, and he knew it too hehehe 
Thanks to Shawn05 and Star for the hospitality as usual 
Time to retire after this night hehehe...yeah right.
To all of you who didn't make it, I feel sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad for each of you.
Easily my best night at Stereo and even more easily one of my best nights EVER.
