In his early career (between 2003 and 2005), he produced electronic records as MI.D.O.R. and Six4Eight, and he was responsible for some of the DJ Precision releases and remixes. Kleijn's first release as Eelke Kleijn was '4.5 Billion Years' in 2003 on Segment Records. Since 2005, he has exclusively released music under his own name. His breakthrough and notoriety came in 2006 when Nick Warren used the track "8 Bit Era" for his Global Underground: Paris compilation. As a result, Kleijn released his first artist album Naturally Artificial on Global Underground in 2007. He remixed artists such as John Legend, Goldfish, Dave Seaman, Way Out West,[1] Hybrid, Sander Kleinenberg[2] and Nadia Ali.[3] In 2010, Kleijn released his second artist album Untold Stories through Manual Music.[4]
As a DJ, Kleijn has played in many venues and festivals including Mystery Land, Extrema Outdoor, Dance Valley, Sensation, Warung Brazil, Privilege Ibiza, Moonpark Buenos Aires, Balaton Sound, and several Ultra Music Festivals around the globe.[5]
Since 2010, Kleijn has composed music for animation, games, and advertisements.
He is a BBC Radio 1 'Next Hype' act for 'Stand Up', remixing John Legend and Hollywood soundtracker for Parker, Wrath Of The Titans, This Means War, and Ron Howard's Rush trailers.[6] Throughout 2014 and 2015, Kleijn performed and produced 'Before.Now.After' in collaboration with Dutch DJs/producers and friends Olivier Weiter, Miss Melera, and Arjuna Schiks. Weiter and Kleijn also presented the weekly 'Before.Now.After' radio show at Slam!FM.
