1 HOUR – Evave




2 HOUR – Eelke Kleijn (Special guest)


Eelke’s life has always been intrigued by modern technology. Being fascinated by everything related to science fiction
and technological developments, his interests are anything but your usual cup of tea. He is currently getting a degree
in biological psychology at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam. At home, his TV is tuned into Discovery Channel
frequently. A real “Trekkie” perhaps as well, as he is a big fan of Star Trek. It is no surprise that Eelke enjoys watching
the sky, not just on a warm summer day, but preferably at night, when he can aim his telescope at the stars and
planets. It is not as severe as it sounds though, as he loves spending his free time playing video games and watching
South Park. His biggest passion however is, without a doubt, music.
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. Over the
years Eelke has built and repaired a fair share of computers and also designed a variety of websites, including his own.
At age 14, he got his first job working as a website designer for a music store. It gave him the opportunity to explore
the studio equipment they sold in much detail, bringing home every piece of hardware he could get his hands on
during the weekends.
In 2003 Eelke released his first single “4.5 Billion Years”, interestingly named after our planet's currently estimated
age, on Segment Records. This very limited 12 inch drew the attention of John Digweed and Seb Fontaine and is still
held in high regard up to this day. It opened the door to labels such as Lost Language and Plastik Park. It was not until
early 2006 however, that Eelke would indefinitely make an impact on the dance scene. Many months spent in the
studio resulted in a series of releases, the most noticeable probably being “8 Bit Era / Import Bride” on Baroque
Records which was very well received and got included on Nick Warren's “Global Underground 030: Paris” compilation.
“8 Bit Era” also received solid airtime on Dutch National radio. Ever since, many labels have taken notice of the
sympathetic Dutchman, resulting in remixes for the likes of Jeff Bennett, Madoka and Snake Sedrick. In early 2007 his
remix for Kosmas Epsilon's “Paranoid” was picked up by Hernan Cattaneo for his Renaissance compilation “Sequential
2”.
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. His almost trancy cooperations with fellow Dutchman C-Jay indeed are
very different from the dark and twisted grooves he has produced with Nick Hogendoorn and again different from the
ambient and chilled-out songs he has written himself. “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 recent
signing of '”Walkabout” on Ork Recordings with Nick 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 and
part of the Groovecollection Music Management, reflects his taste in music like nothing else, with releases varying
from techno-edged minimal to funky progressive house.
Spring 2007 saw Eelke taking the next leap towards fulfilling his dreams. Months of labour finally paid off when his
debut artist album 'Naturally Artificial' was snapped up by Global Underground. It did not take the guys at GU long to
see its potential. “Needless to say I am extremely happy about it!”, he adds. “Global Underground is one of the labels
that have been around since the beginning, you don't get a chance like this every day”.
So what else is there for Eelke you ask? We almost forgot to mention he is an excellent DJ as well, having played gigs
in many European countries as well as Lebanon and Jordan. His monthly 2-hour radio show “Outside the Box”,
broadcasted on Frisky Radio and Proton Radio, gives him the opportunity to showcase his sound worldwide. “What I
love about Outside the Box is that I can do whatever I want”, he says. “It is almost like trying to educate people with
different sounds, I can play deeper than at an average club night”.
Meanwhile Eelke has continued his work in the studio, a variety of news tracks and remixes are due throughout 2007.
Success doesn’t come overnight, something we all know and this has also been the case with Eelke. Rest assured,
though, that this is probably not the last we will hear from Mr. Kleijn.
