EELKE KLEIJN melodic house set in The Lab LA
The Los Angeles office-party crowd politely head-nodding to progressive house while discreetly checking their crypto portfolios is peak comedy. But diving into the EELKE KLEIJN The Lab LA tracklist, this EELKE KLEIJN live set proves he's not here to play elevator music for the Rominimal tourists. The vibe in the intimate Lab is surprisingly sweaty and locked in, a proper underground feel in the heart of Hollywood. Technically, Kleijn is a master craftsman, anchoring the groove flawlessly at 122.4 BPM.
He weaves through the 5A and 4B keys, using incredibly smooth, patient mixing to build a lush, undulating energy arc that grabs you without you even noticing. For the dedicated crate digger, the track selection is an absolute goldmine of deep melodic cuts. Slipping in the soulful classic 'Louie Vega & Jay \'Sinister\' Sealee - Diamond Life' alongside the driving synths of 'Röyksopp - I Had This Thing (CHI2015 Edit) [Joris Voorn Remix]' shows immense pedigree. The musical journey is an incredibly smooth ride.
Starting mysteriously with an 'Unknown' opening track, he guides the room through deeply emotive peaks—highlighted by his own brilliant 'Eelke Kleijn - Space Disco - Original Mix'—before bringing the lights down with the haunting, legendary closing track 'Mathew Jonson - Kissing Your Eyes (Tale of Us Remix)'. Class act.
