The Distillery Complex | Station Square | Ages 21+For the first time ever, Longturn is taking over the entire second-floor warehouse at The Distillery Complex and launching a new concept. Rooted in America's Rust Belt, Clockwerk is our new warehouse series: two stages, the Factory Hall on one side, a Break Room on the other, and most importantly a full night of music from open to close. No VIP, no bottle service. One floor, everyone together. We strive to bring an inclusive, accessible warehouse rave to the working class with our own immersive, quirky twist on it. On Friday, December 4th, we premiere Clockwerk with our biggest show in our nine year history, headlined by Netherlands house phenom, Eelke Kleijn performing 2.5 hours live!
Eelke Kleijn is a Dutch producer, composer, and the founder of DAYS like NIGHTS, a label, radio show, and event series he started in 2017 that has since run in New York, ADE, Miami Music Week, Woodstock Bloemendaal and myriad other beloved destinations. He trained on piano, guitar, and bass, composes for film and TV, and has released five albums on Global Underground, Manual Music, and his own imprint, including Moments of Clarity (2018), Oscillations (2020), and Connected (2025). In 2021, he performed live for Cercle at France's iconic Mont Saint-Michel. His remixes for the likes of John Legend, Pendulum, RÜFÜS DU SOL and James Newton Howard & Jennifer Lawrence are testament to his ability to reach wider audiences without giving up on his core values. He has collaborated with the likes of Nora En Pure, Joris Voorn, Armin van Buuren, and many more. His live show is coming on a massive North American tour and brings that background to the dance floor. We're thrilled he decided to make a stop with us in Pittsburgh.
Top tier sound will be provided by Wave Motion Sound, lighting by Focal Point Productions, and special performances by Core Collective Entertainers. All have been involved in our rooftop parties this summer so you know what to expect, except on a much larger scale this time! Factory Hall (main room) will be where we will be hard at work, dancing, and experiencing the warehouse space to the fullest. The Break Room (side room) will be where you can take a breather from the action, sit down and rest, chat with friends and loved ones, and enjoy a more mellow ambient space. We're excited to premiere this concept in Pittsburgh for you all and welcome you to join us for an unforgettable experience to close out the year before we take a break for a while.

The fact that Eelke Kleijn DJs in his socks and produces in a standing position tells you exactly what you need to know about him. He never feels more at home than when he’s behind the decks, and there’s no separation between the booth, his studio or the dance floor. This natural air he brings to all facets of his music is reflected in its organic feel and has helped his creative identity shine in a crowded scene.
Five albums into a well-established yet still rapidly ascending career, Kleijn is an artist very much in his element. Success has come on his own terms, without compromise or being calculating. In the grand scheme of things, he’s an underground artist, but one who has effortlessly made the jump into the wider world when the time and opportunity felt right. His remixes for the likes of John Legend, Pendulum, RÜFÜS DU SOL and James Newton Howard & Jennifer Lawrence are testament to his ability to reach wider audiences without giving up on his core values. Recent success has also come in the form of ‘Transmission’, with both the original version and Joris Voorn’s remix fully living up to their potential across DJ sets, leading charts and radio stations.
With a background playing piano, guitar and bass and a healthy sideline in composing for film and TV, his productions are imbued with a deep sense of musicality and emotion, always engendering a strong sense of space, place and occasion. His work scoring Hollywood blockbusters like Batman vs Superman, Rush, Parker and This Means War has been met with great acclaim, with plenty more on the way.
His third album, Moments Of Clarity, features the soaring track 1,000 Lights, which was originally composed as part of a 670-drone art piece at Burning Man 2018 in memory of festival founder Larry Harvey. The reactions when he opened his set with it on the Mayan Warrior art car suggested he was onto something special that would form one of the pinnacles of this stunning LP.
Two years after Moments Of Clarity, Eelke’s profound production skill took another leap with the release of Oscillations, his incredible 2020 LP. Blending progressive, ambient, breakbeat and other shades of electronic music into beloved dance floor weapons as well as gems that can be enjoyed at home, the album features beautiful vocal work from the likes of Josha Daniel, Nathan Nicholson and Diana Miro. Songs from the album were also showcased during his Cercle LIVE set at Mont Saint-Michel, for which he created a special track titled ‘Mont Saint-Michel’.
In the first half of 2022, Eelke Kleijn became part of the ‘en:close – The Sound Of The Jane’ album, a special project that encouraged producers to create music based on sounds recorded in the kitchen of 2-star Michelin restaurant The Jane in Antwerp. In addition to creating album track ‘Electric Eel’, Kleijn also played a special dinner set in The Jane to promote the album.
On his latest album 'Connected', Eelke explores new sonic territory, leaning heavily into melodic vocals throughout the album – something he’s never done before, setting this project apart from anything in his discography to date. Coinciding with the album, a documentary of the same title was released, offering a rare and intimate glimpse into Kleijn’s personal and artistic evolution. The film traces his journey from his hometown of Rotterdam to the vibrant scenes of Latin America, where he has risen to international stardom.
His own imprint, DAYS like NIGHTS, is becoming an increasingly important part of what he does. Serving as a multi-faceted platform where he enjoys total creative control, it encompasses a label, a radio show and podcast, and world-renowned events.
The label has provided an outlet for his own creations, supported some of his other favourite artists along the way and will soon expand its roster to help bring through more exciting new talent. His weekly, globally syndicated radio show and podcast go from strength to strength, bringing the sound of his mesmerising DJ sets to new audiences across the world. The parties (hosted at ADE, Miami Music Week, Woodstock Bloemendaal and myriad other beloved destinations) combine his love of emotive dance floor music with stunning locations to provide a truly immersive experience.
These different elements all combine to realise his vision as an artist and curator, helping fans come closer to his musical world.

Longturn Music welcomes everybody and has a zero-tolerance policy for harassment, unwelcome physical contact, or any brand of bigoted behavior. If anyone at a Longturn event is making you feel uncomfortable or unsafe, or if you witness anything of the sort, we encourage you to speak with the door staff or our team members. We'll believe you, and we'll help.
In the era when America's Rust Belt got its name, factory workers labored on a 12-hour day or night shift for two weeks straight. To switch shifts, one group would have to work 24-hours straight and cover the labor gap. This grueling shift became known as the Longturn.
Longturn music was founded to give people with day jobs a space to spend their second shift. No bottle service, no passwords, just a dance floor filled with good people and good music.
Come early, stay late, dance hard ⚒️
