since he kicked up a storm supporting houseGod Armand Van Helden at the end of last
year, and not just because he's drop dead
gorgeous. The Voice caught up with him for a
quick chat.
Sander Kleinenberg has played at some of the
most famous clubs in the world. He's slayed
the crowds at Space in lbiza, Rex in Paris,
