50th release hits Outside the Box
Format: Digital
Cat No: OTB050

The recording imprint of Holland’s rising house maestro, Outside The Box Music has rapidly asserted itself in the CD wallets of the highest echelons of the house elite. Encompassing the distinctive sound of label founder Eelke Kleijn, as well as a bed of emerging new artists, Outside The Box is now set to unleash its 50th release in what the label deems its most creative musical package thus far.

To celebrate the imprints golden jubilee, Outside The Box have decided to release a solid ten-track EP bundle that showcases the full musical arm of the labels sound, giving an insight that features everything from melancholic beat drops, purring basslines and pulsing techy swells.

Soundtracked with singles such as the Booka Shade-esq ‘L'Equipe Du Son - Creatures of the Night’, Eelke Kleijn’s doomy cosmic ‘Kyoto’ or Taras van de Voorde‘s rich melodic techno remix of Camiel Daamen’s Make It Happen, OTB050EP also features music from future producers in Daniel Leseman, Maslow & MKN, Sezer Uysal, L'Equipe Du Son, and DAVI - giving much open room for defining popularity across different tastes.

Launched back in 2006, the label has been a continual testing vehicle for pushing the electronic envelope and allowing producers artistic freedom within their releases. Positioned somewhere between dark, industrial house and moody forward thinking soundscape, the focus has always been to tread a daring line between genres with a finesse that ensures the labels identity continues to evolve along the way. Within the scope of the OTB universe, the artist collective is a strong and gifted one of emerging studio wizkids; Nick Hogendoorn, Daniel Leseman, Francesco Pico, Soulfinder and Tundra are just some of the names whose music has seen OTB pick up support from global players in John Digweed, Nic Fanciulli, Roger Sanchez and Dubfire.

Leading from the front, founder and regular OTB craftsman Eelke Kleijn has gravitated from the local Dutch tech house scene to international ranking as a formidable talent in the studio and crowd capturing DJ in the clubs. With a body of solo productions under his belt already, alongside having remixed for luminaries such as Hybrid, Way Out West and Sander Kleinenberg, his plaudits include Sasha and Hernan Cattaneo.

OTB050 will release across all major download stores on April 27th 2011.
