Once again there’s a big talent with a regular show coming to GlobalBeats FM. Without any doubt, Eelke Kleijn is well known to most of our listeners and we don’t want to miss this great chance to praise him to the skies.

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. Apropos Global Underground: This has also been the platform for his first artist album “Naturally Artificial”, which was released in the beginning of October. 16 absolutely different tracks show once more, how unique Eelkes style is and why he’s one of the most sought-after artists nowadays. They’re not only very deep and progressive sounds to be heard, but also a little bit of minimal and even broken beats. Listen to “Naturally Artificial” right now on Beatport!

From now on you can also enjoy Eelke’s sound on GlobalBeats FM. On Sunday (October 28, 2007) his show “Outside the Box” will hit the air for the first time. From 5 to 7pm CET he’ll be playing for you on the white channel. In the future there will be a new episode of his show on every 4th Sunday.
