Deep house savant and world-renowned composer Eelke Kleijn has released his latest single, ‘Moments Of Clarity’, on his rapidly ascending DAYS like NIGHTS imprint. Landing as the third single and title track off of his much-anticipated third album (to be released this fall), the talented producer continues to build momentum as he touches down in New York, Mexico City and Burning Man this August.
Over the past fifteen years, Eelke Kleijn has steadily built his repertoire of music with a diverse set of releases, from dancefloor-ready songs to Hollywood soundtracks and everything in between. Following previously released singles ‘Punta Cana’ and ‘The Calling’, the emotive ‘Moments Of Clarity’ shows a divergent facet to the impending project with a shuffling downtempo and breakbeat style layered below soothing, slow-rolling synth sequences synonymous with his sound.
Eelke Kleijn: “’Moments Of Clarity’ is the kind of track I would play right at the end of my set. Imagine playing it at sunrise after a long intense night. That’s how I envisioned the track while working on it.”
With recent standout sets in Houston, San Francisco, Miami and Los Angeles, ‘Moments Of Clarity’ drops as Eelke Kleijn prepares to close out his biggest North American tour to date. The producer will head to The Big Apple for the U.S. debut of his DAYS like NIGHTS event series, setting sail on the Hudson River at sunset alongside Tel Aviv’s own Guy Mantzur on Friday, August 24. That same weekend, he will head south to Mexico City to play at Loo Loo on Saturday, August 25 before adventuring out to the dusty Playa for his first-ever Burning Man appearance, ending his tour on a soaring high.
Redefining the titles DJ and producer, his versatility as a modern-day composer truly knows no limits. Producing soundtracks for Hollywood blockbusters like Parker, The Crossing, Rush and This Means War has become an integral part of his artistic output. His bootleg for The Hunger Games song ‘The Hanging Tree’ by James Newton Howard featuring leading lady Jennifer Lawrence became an instant club hit, catapulting the Dutch producer into the limelight. Regularly touring across Europe and the rest of the world, Eelke Kleijn has graced the decks of Amsterdam Dance Event, The BPM Festival, Rapture Electronic Music Festival during Miami Music Week and Australia’s Pitch Festival. Taking his DAYS like NIGHTS imprint on the road, Eelke Kleijn has also hosted numerous label events and live shows across Europe and soon North America.
