"To think 'Outside the Box' is to see things beyond the norm, to think beyond the limitations of consciousness and experience. To be a visionary".
Outside the Box Music was launched in 2006 and is the creative outlet of Dutchman Eelke Kleijn. Besides being a home base for his own productions, Outside the Box Music aims to release quality music from upcoming as well as established producers. In terms of music the label is as diverse as its name suggests, many releases not being easy to pigeonhole into a certain style but instead cross the conventional borders between them.
With releases and remixes by the likes of Dualtone (Johan Vermeulen / Jermain Hatusupy from Fine Taste & Infinitize), Kosmas Epsilon, Nick Hogendoorn, Roger Martinez, Sebastian Davidson and head-honcho Eelke Kleijn himself, the label has built up a pretty varied sound and identity. DJ Support has come from many different corners, including Hernan Cattaneo, Jimmy van M, Anthony Pappa, Fish Go Deep, Paul van Dyk and Nick Warren. Outside the Box Music is slowly but steadily becoming a well known name in quality house music.

OTB010 Nick Hogendoorn & Eelke Kleijn - Fat Dragon (Mar 27th, 2008)
Release Date: Mar 27th, 2008
» Reviewed: 3/5  [View]
» User Rating: 4.09 / 5

» Top Rank: Reached #3 on Apr 1st, 2008 
Our 10th release is destined to become a big one. Nick Hogendoorn and label manager Eelke Kleijn once again return to the label with a big room monster which has already been successfully floor tested by Hernan Cattaneo and Anthony Pappa. Haunting strings, weird effects and a bass line which will blow you away; this one has got it all.
Next to the original, we have Global Underground and Extrema featured producer Francesco Pico turning the track inside out. His dark beats, minimalistic percussion and freaky, vocoded effects are an essential tool for anyone that enjoys the original, but would rather play a more dubbed out version.

Outside the box brings us the Fat Dragon by Nick Hogendoorn & Eelke Kleijn. With a few haunting tunes about these days this is another of those moments. This is like peering into the depths on some angry being, sweeping across major to minor this has a nasty edge on it, this is not set to cross over, and this track has a mean streak that will cause nightmares.
The production is simple, and relies on key-change which slowly builds from start to end. A few additions are bought in, in the building.... 3/5 [ Simon Latham]
