Eelke Kleijn 'Time Machine' on DAYS like NIGHTS

Eelke Kleijn's 'Time Machine' is the eighth release of 2023 on his label DAYS like NIGHTS. It is out now on Beatport in the Extended Mix, filed under Melodic House & Techno and released on 4 Aug 2023.

'Time Machine' is a track for the late summer season. It was a chart pick on two of Kleijn's own charts this month: 'Summer Is Here' charted on 10 Aug and placed first of 10, and 'Summer Picks' charted on 9 Aug and placed first of nine. Four of the 10 records in the 'Summer Is Here' chart are on DAYS like NIGHTS, which suggests how the label is a vehicle for Kleijn's own taste as much as it is an outlet for his music.

The track's audio profile is: drums over harmony ; a plain and regular hit pattern ; at a middling level with moderate movement under the peaks ; a muted top end. That is to say, 'Time Machine' is a record that does not insist on itself. The low end carries the motion, a muted top end leaves headroom, and the melody sits in the middle of the mix. It does not demand attention so much as it provides a container for a late summer evening, whether that evening is in Lisbon or Berlin.
