Genre-defying Dutch DJ and producer Eelke Kleijn’s highly anticipated fifth studio album, 'Connected', is out now via DAYS like NIGHTS/Armada Music. The album marks a new chapter in his creative journey, fusing his progressive house roots with a fresh dive into the indie dance sphere. With 'Connected', Eelke explores new sonic territory, leaning heavily into melodic vocals throughout the album – something he’s never done before, setting this project apart from anything in his discography to date.
“I’m really looking forward to sharing a piece of the thought process behind the album,” says Eelke Kleijn. “And to giving a glimpse of what life looks like on the road and during shows.”
Reflecting on the album, Eelke Kleijn shares: “Something that I want to achieve with all my albums is that they need to stand the test of time- I hope if anybody listens to it 20 years from now, it will still sound fresh and innovative.”
