PURE PACHA IBIZA WELCOMES SANDER KLEINENBERG AS OFFICIAL RESIDENT OF 2009

 

The iconic Pure Pacha Ibiza enters its 7th year and does so in formidable fashion by appointing the legendary Sander Kleinenberg as its new resident. Sander will be taking over from long term tenant Pete Tong to invigorate Friday nights at the infamous Ibizan club, kicking off on May 29th for its 18 week summer stint.

  Sander has been a regular fixture at the Balearic landmark for many years and was joint resident with Axwell last year.  After years of playing Pure Pacha, hosting such an artistic show himself and generally smashing it in the club last year, it seems only right that Sander takes the reign and becomes involved with the music programming and creative art direction of Pure Pacha. He will very much be involved in the look, feel and projection of Pure Pacha; casting upon his wealth of experience years, encompassing a full 360 appeal. Sander was a natural choice to the people who know the club best - here is what Danny Whittle, head honcho of Pacha, had to say:   "Having worked with Sander for many years it's fantastic that Sander will be fronting Pure Pacha this summer. He has consistently rocked Pacha everytime he plays so it's great to have that confidence in the quality of music for every Friday night this summer."  

With Sander's amazing Pioneer SVM-1000 audio-visual mixer, which Sander helped develop, he can put on a show like no other! Sander has been leading the way, integrating video imagery and other visuals in his VDJ sets for some time now. It is safe to say that his dramatic lighting effects will work magically with the glamour and thrill of Pacha, perfectly uniting the music, visual and clubbers from around the globe. The DJ Booth has been outfitted with Sander's SVM, DVJ's and plasmas. The club has had a bit of a refurb ready for 2009!

Joining Sander this year will be the illustrious Calvin Harris, who is tipped to be the new monthly resident. Calvin has had a slew of hit singles including his smash 'Acceptable in the 80s', the number 1 hit with Dizzee Rascal 'Dance wiv me' and his current Number 1 single 'I'm not Alone' which is an instant anthem. Faithless & Trentemoller make a very welcome comeback, and Darren Emerson plays his first Pure Pacha date.       If all of this isn't enough, you can read all the news and reviews in Sanders forthcoming column for Pacha magazine, watch his amazing sets on Pacha TV, hear his stomping mixes on Pacha radio, download monthly podcasts and catch him headlining Pure Pacha events in select a cities around the world. With so much going on it's no surprise that Sander is bursting with excitement.  He says:   "Being part of the Friday night Pacha family is a dream come true and a great way to delve into my experience as a DJ. It has come at the best possible time from a creative point of view and has sparked a great and inspiring process."   This is... simply going to be, Sander Kleinenberg's year!
