"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.

Florian Stanescu (Fjor) was born in Calarasi, a small town in Romania in the year '85.He grew up
listening to artists like Depeche Mode, Enigma, Daft Punk and The Prodigy. From 2000 onwards he has
been writing his own music.
His debut EP on Outside the Box Music is already a succes even before its release, with Gare Mat K
and Alex Young signing the track Funkazoid to their new Progrezo Records compilation, and Hernan
Cattaneo and Eelke Kleijn both playing out the release as well. Both tracks are well thought out dance
floor productions, crossing the bridge between techno and progressive house.
