Biography - and my MTV Selected Contribution
DJ Anders - Joy of Life EDM – “music is life, life is love, love is music”
In the beginning there was music...
I have consumed music as long as I can remember. With the first 7” single bought from one of my weekly allowances as a kid – Abba “Waterloo” – my record collection started to build up. Starting out as a Radio DJ in secondary school, I soon got my first live gig 1983 in front of some hundreds of students at my school. Electronic music was early on, from “Pop Corn” with Hot Butter, via Jean Michel Jarre, to Kraftwerk and the full Synth Wave in early eighties. From the moment I picked up Farley “Jackmaster” Funk with Love Can’t Turn Around most likely from the first import batch of that 12” Chicago House Classics in mid-Eighties, EDM has always been there in the crater. Totally hooked to “Joy of Life EDM” as I define it, I continue to spread the love vibes from the booth, with a contagious smile and energetic spread in full contact with the audience in high spirit.
Style and influences
Electronic Dance Music, transferring a feeling of joy of life to the crowd - the joy that comes from the strong sense of being alive, not just through the music. Equally important for me is to spread the joy myself through my own personality, with a contagious smile to fully be one with the feeling - the unity experienced, and full contact with the spirit rising in the space, created by and with the audience in a strong feedback loop of joyful life energies.From the progressive sweaping meditative beats sliding over at the other side of the scale via the melodic and big hall room peak-time anthems, to the techier, harder beats the longer into the night the set continues, they all fit in into my sets. From veterans like Armin, Above&Beyond, Markus Schulz and Marco V to shooting stars of more recent date like Hydroid and Sander van Doorn, where I love to mix the classics with the hot new tunage in a blend where I am closest to “Be the Change I want to See”, and living my vision RE:LOVE THE WORLD – “a world where you meet your fellow human being with Love and Respect, and can be expected to be met with the same”.

About my MTV Selected contribution
I have chosen according to the criteria to do a typical summary of a 1 to 2 hour warmup set, with some housy, proggy beats, mixing the hot, fresh tunes with some classics. Doing a warmup 15 minute miniset lives the spirit of the competition.
The tracklist;
1. Intro: Enigma - Turn Around (Northern Lights Club Mix)
2. Pryda - Armed (Original)
3. Sonorous - Glass Garden 2007
4. Filterheadz pres Orange 3 - Your Eyes (Pillow One Deep Mix)
5. X-Press 2 - Smoke Machine
6. Sander van Doorn - Back By Any Demand (Original Mix)
The Daylight Life
In daylight time when the cyber/strobe/spots are turned off, I am building up a business to deliver merchandise to businesses and organizations from India with fair traded and organic printed t-shirts through Ignition® and freelancing with all related to "sustainopreneurship” with the brand SLICE Services and Publishing™, a subject I also do formal research on. All in the name of Peace, Love, Unity and Respect!
Peace,
Anders
