Label: Nebula
Release Date: 3rd September 2007
If 2006 was the year that Sander van Doorn started making waves on the international dance scene, 2007 is going to be the year he nails it. In just three short years, this golden child with his ‘boy next door’ looks from Eindhoven, Holland has had the world literally at his feet. 2006 was a phenomenal year for Sander; a year that saw him accomplish things only dreams are made of with appearances for Radio 1 live from Ibiza, remixing (unofficially) band of the decade The Artic Monkeys "When the Sun Goes Down" and entering the world famous DJ Mag Top 100 at an impressive no.32, Sander now drops the excellent "By Any Demand" feat. MC Pryme onto leading UK dance imprint Nebula Music.
Original Mix
Anybody who's been to a trance night in the last year will have heard this. That unmistakeable guitar riff that I love to hate, but my word it's addictive. This is a typical SVD tune of late: take an unnecessary sample from way-back-when, and throw it into the mixer with some of the grooviest basslines known to man. I really didn't want to like this song, but I just can't help it. It's too damn funky. Play this song at a party and it's guaranteed to get people dancing.
Dope Mix
This mix isn't really required here, it's clearly made to flesh out the package. Almost identical to the original mix, there's a little less of that riff and a little more of a house flavour, adding to the appeal of the track as a crossover anthem. Can't say a lot else really, it's 'dope'.
Peter Gelderblom Remix
If the dope mix makes the tune housey, this must be the electro alternative. Again retaining the riff, its certainly an interesting interpretation of the original. Unfortunately, it fails to reach the peak set by Sander, but I guess that's not the aim here. Would fit in well in the middle of a slow-burning electro set, and the recognisable guitar is guaranteed to keep people happy.
Rating:
Typical SVD on show here, but it is pretty good. Stick with the original, and you'll be fine.
7/10
