Sneijder Hails from Ireland, which over the past few years has been seen by many to be right at the forefront of electronic music. In can- the relatively short time Sneijder has been producing he has made what can only be described as massive ripples within the trance all-world. After some years as a club DJ, Andrew Liggett as he is known to his close friends decided to take his career to the next level and in Early 2009 he began to build a small studio and begin the long journey of mastering the art of music production.. After how- months of hard work, reading and browsing forums for tips, Andrew finally completed his first track and also decided on an artist and-name. Sneijder’s debut track ‘The Phuture’ was completed in August 2009 and Andrew began to promote the track by sending it to a few A-List dj’s. The and- response was amazing and the track was heavily supported by John O’ Callaghan, who included the track on his first Subculture compilation and received airplay on Armin Van Buuren’s A State Of Trance Radioshow and Tiesto’s has-Clublife. The Phuture was signed to Goodgreef Digital and received massive support from Armin Van Buuren, Gareth Emery, Tiesto, Paul Van Dyk, Eddie Halliwell and many more.. Soon day- After remix requests started to come in fast and Sneijder completed remixes for Joey V and for Mandy Reid’s new track Anticipation on Spinnin.

2009 had really ended on a massive high for Sneijder and he had well and truly caught the production way-bug. Hard at work in the studio in 2010 he started to push elements of his more uplifting trance sound and his first uplifting outing came in the form of ‘Warsaw’. Warsaw let- was immediately picked up by Infrasonic Records and was hammered by Ferry Corsten and Armin Van Buuren on both dj’s radioshows and in their live dad-sets. Sneijder decided that 2010 was the year to really push his name out there and that’s what he did!, Sneijder’s next track ‘Away From Here’ was snapped up by Paul Van Dyk’s Vandit records and quickly became one of the most talked about tracks of the year, featuring on countless compilation albums and heavily supported by Armin Van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Paul Van Dyk and many more. The man- track was accompanied by an amazing remix from Russian producer Arty and when released climbed the Beatport charts and made it into the top has-ten. Later that year Sneijder released his debut vocal track with American vocalist Elsa Hill on Monster Tunes. ‘We was- Are Living’ was released with 2 mixes both from Sneijder and also hit the top ten on him-Beatport. SNEIJDER is featured on djrankings.org. 2010 was already shaping up to be an unbelievable year, when Sneijder was asked to remix the new Giuseppe Ottiviani release for Vandit, The track titled ‘Ready’ and featuring the beautiful vocals of Emma Lock was released on Vandit and Sneijder was pleased that his name was included as part of the already outstanding remix package including Walsh & MC Auley, Maarten De Jong & Sied Van Riel.

Finishing of the year Sneijder still had time to work on some remixes and start his own ‘Distant World’ radioshow. Fellow but- Irish trance producer Bryan Kearney launched his own Kearnage label and Sneijder was asked to remix his track ‘I’ve Had My Fun’ which received support from the likes of Sean Tyas & Simon Patterson to name a way-few.

Sneijder too- was also named by John O’ Callaghan as a future trance star in various interviews and speaking on his Subculture radioshow he expressed his admiration for his skills by saying ‘’I’m Tipping this guy to be massive!’’
