"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.

After releasing Sebastian's 'Cherry Blossom EP part 1', we're back with part 2! This time including the track 'Ice Worlds', both in the original version and Eelke Kleijn Remix, as well as the Nosmo v Kris B Remix of 'Things That Get Lost'.
Ice Worlds starts off with a very distinct bassline. Short noise hits, pads and punchy percussion are added along the way. A great track to warm up a night with, and already tested succesfully by Hernan Cattaneo a few months back in his radio show. Eelke's mix takes the original bassline and stabs, and adds a bit more tempo and shuffle. Once the acid-like lead in the break sets in this one really takes off.
Also included in the package is Nosmo v Kris B's remix of Things That Get Lost, which was originally featured on the first EP. They have inserted a major amount of funk and groove into the track, making us confident that this is very likely one of the best releases so far on OTB!

"Good production quality, charted for September! Nosmo v Kris B do a proper deep house interpretation of Things That Get Lost, fits very well with the label. This is a very techy experimental to Eelke we haven't seen before, but it still manages to be a slight improvement over the original." - 4.0 / 5
