"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.

Francesco Pico and Roell Sapphire's 'The Thrill Will Be Later' is one of those amazing epic builders that you only come across every once in a while. It's no wonder that it's already being favoured by Hernan Cattaneo as well as Nick Warren. It takes a massive 4 minutes for the bassline to come in (hence the name), but once it drops The Thrill will grab you and not let go until well after the 10 minute mark. Honestly, you cannot miss this one; on the edge of 2008 they bring you one of the best progressive tracks this year has seen! Francesco & Roell have also included an intro and break tool to use parts of the track in a more creative way.
But don't think you're done after The Thrill. Not with a track like 'Browser' to accompany it. If you're into hypnotic melodies, haunting pads and basslines as deep as the Grand Canyon, you will want to check this one out. Don't say we didn't warn you!

"Another rock solid release from 2 of my favourites on one of my favourite labels! The Thrill Will Be Later will be perfect for the epic morning sets with the uplifting sounds and pushing bassline.

Andy Newland (UK) (bedrock, ministry of sound, twisted audio, renaissance, baroque, bellarine)
"This song might work at 5am when everyone is tired and drifting off, but waiting 4 minutes for a bassline is way too long. Browser was ok, but still in that "too-dreamy" category to play on a dancefloor." - 2.5 / 5
