After releasing several Purple Haze tracks and various remixes on Armada Music and its subsidiary labels over the years, Sander van Doorn has finally made his solo debut on Armada Music under his main moniker. In the making for around nine months across two different studios and lots of personal development, ‘Sunlight’ (feat. Dan Soleil) symbolizes the Dutchman’s new, more positive and healthier attitude toward life.
Sander van Doorn’s first-ever original release on Armada Music is a grade A record designed for club space glory. Flaunting a flawless synergy between Dan Soleil’s dreamy vocal presence and the soaring lead synths, this brand-new offering from the Dutch dance music champ is exactly the kind of dance floor thrill his fans are after.
“Since I’m a perfectionist when it comes to my productions, it was amazing to work with such a talented guy,” says Sander van Doorn about collaborating with Dan Soleil. “We clicked immediately and had a great time building the track into what it has become now. It’s safe to say ‘Sunlight’ is a track we’re both very proud of.”
“It also feels great to release on Armada Music again”, he continues. “They’re professionals who really know what they’re doing, so it’s actually a bit strange that it’s taken this long for me to release an original single on the label. I’ve met the team quite regularly on tour and we’ve always had the intention to work together again, but the right moment and appropriate track only came round just now. I think ‘Sunlight’ fits the style and sound of Armada Music to a tee, so it makes a lot of sense teaming up with them now.”

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]One of the main most influential Dutch artists of all time is Sander van Doorn who is considered to be great influence for younger upcoming talents. His Armada release featuring Dan Soleil is the stunning Sunlight. We deal here with an excellent combination of deep melodic driving techno with progressive house and trance influences. The track is melancholic and moody with driving relentless dark basslines, thumping metallic kicks and rough drums while on top melancholic distorted strings and cinematic strings support Dan exceptional performance. His sensitive touching voice illustrates the message of the track well and blends within its dystopian but still hopeful atmosphere. Welcome Sander to Armada! We have great expectation from you! #PureGold Love IT[/content]
