TAONS PRESENTS EELKE KLEJIN Due to popular demand we had no choice but
to have the legendary Eelke Kleijn back on Perth's shores. The past
two years, Eelke has torn the roof off Geisha Bar with many claiming
his masterful work as the set of the year. Eelke has developed a love
for Perth and his fanbase here, so much so that he recorded part of
his set from the 20 Years of Geisha party for his highly regarded DAYS
like NIGHTS radio show.
Eelke Kleijn blends his unique style of melodic house and techno,
taking his audience on a true musical journey, whilst being mindful of
the underlying need to dance.

Bio:
The fact that Eelke Kleijn DJs in his socks and produces in a standing
position tells you a lot about what you need to know about him. He
never feels more at home than when he’s behind the decks, and
there’s no separation between the booth, his studio and the
dancefloor. This natural air that he brings to all facets of his music
is something that’s reflected in its organic feel, and it has helped
his creative identity to shine in a crowded scene.
Three albums into a well established yet still rapidly ascending
career, Kleijn's an artist very much in his element. Success has come
on his own terms, without compromise or calculatedness. In the grand
scheme of things, he’s an underground artist, but one who has
effortlessly made the jump into the wider world when the time and
opportunity have felt right. His remixes for the likes of John Legend,
Pendulum and James Newton Howard & Jennifer Lawrence are testament to
his ability to reach wider audiences without giving up on his core
values.
With a background playing piano, guitar and bass and a healthy
sideline in composing for film and TV, his productions are imbued with
a deep sense of musicality and emotion, always engendering a strong
sense of space, place and occasion. His work scoring Hollywood
blockbusters like Rush, Parkerand This Means Warhas been met with
great acclaim, with plenty more on the way.
His latest artist album, Moments Of Clarity, is the apex of his work
so far, blending progressive, ambient, epic breakbeat, deep house and
melodic techno in perfect harmony tocreate an album that is as at home
on the dancefloor as it is on the home stereo. It features the soaring
track 1,000 Lights, which was originally composed as part of a 670
drone art piece at Burning Man 2018 in memory of festival founder,
Larry Harvey. The reactions when he opened his set with it on the
Mayan Warrior art car suggested he was onto something special that
would form one of the pinnacles of this stunning LP
DAYS like NIGHTS is becoming an increasingly important part of what he
does. Servingas a multi-faceted platform where he enjoys total
creative control, it encompasses a label, a radio show and podcast and
spectacular parties.
