This Is...Sander Kleinenberg

"Sander Kleinenberg and Renaissance return to present the first musical instalment of his 'This Is' moniker..."

That's straight from the PR. Sounds pretty cool, but all-round let-down Sander Kleinenberg has a bit of lifting to do after such turd burgers as 'Everybody Too' and the God-awful wank that was 'This Is Miami'.

You believe your own shit for a while and it's not too long before people actually forget that you were the person responsible for such seminal classics as 'My Lexicon' and 'Sacred (dub)' (was there any other version of 'Sacred'-)

We'll let some of the PR do the talking before we rubbish this out. The tracklisting is solid, though, so hopefully it's a step in the right direction for Kleinenberg.

"Between each 14-track mix - Left & Right - he weaves a diverse selection of labels and artists sourcing the likes of Disk Jokke from Get Physical off-shoot Kindisch, Tom Novy's personal tribute to Sander on his 'Moscow Never Sleeps' remix and the excellent Gui Boratto re-work of Robert Babicz' 'Sin' - and that's just the first disc!

Turning 'Right' we find an acapella from Italy's Siciana Soul marrying Rhythm & Sound, Nic Fanciulli's incredible remix of Martin Eyerer & Stephan Hinz, Motorcitysoul taking on David K to stunning effect plus the much hyped Dubfire interpretation of Smith & Selway's 'Transit Time'. As Sander perfectly sums up, "It's about merging genres and creating new ones. Enjoy!"

As you can see, PR knows how to make things look so cool. It's not reviewed yet, but it's definitely making some of the office cream themselves.

Anyhoo...finally...
