Eelke Kleijn


The world of music today is closely related to technology, something Eelke discovered at a young age. Therefore it is not strange at all that he got involved in it. “I could have easily ended up with an ICT related job”, he adds.
Eelke is active as a producer as well as DJ. His productions have had support from almost every big name out there, ranging from John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo and Anthony Pappa to Tiësto, Paul van Dyk and Marco V. Since 2002 Eelke has produced and released over 40 different records and remixes for a diverse collection of labels and artists.It is difficult to describe Eelke’s sound in a few words though. “I am easily bored with music, I don’t like recycling sounds and ideas all the time”, he explains. “As with my DJ sets, I need variety in order to remain interested in what I’m doing. Producing different styles is almost like a way to express the different moods I’m in”. The signing of ‘”Walkabout” on Ork Recordings with Nick Hogendoorn is a perfect example, receiving critical acclaim from artists as diverse as Fish Go Deep, Nic Fanciulli and Anthony Pappa. Outside the Box Music, Eelke’s label launched in 2006, reflects his taste in music like nothing else. Many releases are not easy to pigeonhole into a certain style but instead cross the conventional borders between them. Eelke’s ambitions don’t stop at dance music however. His production work for Nike shows a very different side of his music, balancing on the fine line between hip hop and electronica. In 2009 Eelke wrote music for their “V is for Victory” and “Create_Space” campaigns.

Personal opinion: a great tech-lounge track with minimal effects.you can easily say that is a modern electro lounge track.personally, I hope that this style will bring us more tracks to listen.i`m a great fan of it, altough it`s easy to confuse it with the minimal genre.enjoy.
