Dan Sanders

Born in Leiden in 1965, Dan moved from place to place throughout the western part of Holland in his formative years. However, music was his passion from a very young age. He therefore started practicing playing the flute, which was the start of an interesting virtuoso experiment. It unfortunately lasted only 12 lessons – done that, time for something new!

Many years later he was to become inspired by the birth of electronic music in it’s widest variety, taking his first steps into DJing, followed by music production. This music began to shape his life, allowing him to play some truly memorable gigs, cool underground parties, find interesting tunes, start Fun Force, T.O.F. and Soundsjop, and see the world into the bargain.

It was in the 90s that Dan stepped up his game, getting a full-time position in the industry. Starting out as the mail boy at Combined Forces HQ he rapidly developed his talents, quickly scooping the position of Head of International Licensing. This allowed Dan to learn the mechanics of the scene. This is where he met Sander Kleinenberg, which resulted in them teaming up to start Little Mountain Recordings, a truly respected and renowned underground label globally. Dan’s position of label manager has again presented this conscientious Dutchman with a genuinely fresh and exciting challenge in the fast-paced music biz and the ever-changing music markets.

2009 sees the long-awaited launch of Dan and Laurens Kagenaar (aka Lau) new music production team, Randomatik. The idea to set up a music and multi-media cross platform was concieved some time ago, one that would take a new concept of musical approach in all it’s thinkable forms. The future looks bright – watch out for Randomatik!
