Sandrien is probably one of the biggest rising stars of the Dutch dance scene. Her sparkling personality in combination with her qualities as a DJ, brought her to the top of female DJ’s in Holland over the last 2 years. This fine combination also brought her to all the big Dutch festivals, such as Dancevalley, Mysteryland, Innercity, Lowlands and 5 days off, she shook the crowd back there, and not only there, every weekend Sandrien makes the crowd go wild, playing in clubs throughout Europe. Her sets are always surprising and full of energy, she is known for her fine tuning with the audience, which in return is known for loosing it when Sandrien plays her mixture of minimal, electro and deeper freaky sounds. This mixture of sounds goes beyond Dj-ing alone, Sandrien is busy as a producer as well. She forms the Amsterdam Assholes, together with Wouter Hirsschemoller. Their collaboration creates freaked and deep minimal dancefloor rockers, and their first EP will be coming out on Dualblock! The producers duo Amsterdam Assholes is not the only collaboration Sandrien takes part in. Together with Carlos Valdes she forms the DJ duo Mal Borrowed & Frei Bauwerker. These two are known for their funky freaky banging minimal techno sets with acid and electro influences. Their deep sets full of energy and fun were not ignored by the Dutch audience, so they’ve recently won the award for best DJ duo in Holland 2007! Mal Borrowed & Frei Bauwerker make Amsterdam celebrate life after trance, during their own club night MAD2 in one of Amsterdam finest clubs, club 11. Electronic WEIRDneSS and Deep TechY Sheisse makes the freaks come out! This year, Sandrien is showing not only the Dutch, but also the world what she’s capable off, playing with international DJ superstars such as Ellen Alien, Tiefschwarz, Pan Pot, Tiger Skin and Alex Smoke. In 2005 Sandrien played at the Border Community parties in Amsterdam together with James Holden, Petter and Nathan Fake. And her start has been shining abroad this year, playing at parties in Germany: Berlin (VCF), Hamburg (Uebel & Gefarlich) and Munich. Off course her memorable set at the Sonar festival in Barcelona Spain can not be missed in this shortlist. Her latest gig abroad was in club Metropolis in Split Croatia. Sandrien became an ambassador for Dance4Life too in 2006. This organization throws parties for the youth, in more than 10 different countries throughout the world, to help raise money for the Aids foundation.
