Title:	Horizontal EP
Label:	HORIZONTAL
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	HORIZON 001EP

"Busy world travelling DJ-producer Alejandra Iglesias aka Dinky finally launches her own label 'Horizontal.' After the minimal techno hit 'Acid in my Fridge' (Cocoon records) and several outstanding remixes, Horizontal underlines the episode in her book surprising with 3 delicious but not-at-all minimal tracks. A side 'Horizontal' a slow house-percussive-jam, with a beautiful piano in the background; a mixture between Moodyman and Omar S, dry and with an incredible sense of humor. The B1 side 'Dizzy,' a song inspired in the infamous Club der Visionaire in Berlin, where once Villalobos was playing and 'Dizzy' was born.' B2 'Sabana,' a psychedelic deep techno track, feels like Jeff Mills -- played by Luciano, Villalobos and Tobi Neumann in the past months.!"

Title:	Home On a Sunday
Label:	HORIZONTAL
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	HORIZON 002EP

"A1 'Home on a Sunday' is a ten minute long piece with a lovely ambient intro and sensual vocal samples by Dinky talking about DJ life, where not everything is so good and glamorous as it seems from the outside world. This techno-house track develops smoothly and rhythmically leading into a Moroder meets Villalobos mixture ending with deep melodic keys. The record has been strongly supported by Loco Dice, Tobi Neumann, Damian Lazarus and Magda, to name but a few and before its release it has been licensed by Magda's & Tobi Neumanns mix CDs . B1 'Unidog' 1991 meets 2006, a peculiar track with a dissonant off-rhythm feeling that gives a sensation of confusion on top of a catchy baseline. A minimal piece with great dynamics, sound design and sequencing a la Plastikman. Also supported by the Minus posse B2 'Michelle,' a soulful slow house piece full of textures, Latin percussion, melody and small vocal parts reminding us of 'Vodoo Ray' but more abstract. Michelle is a beautiful musical dream with a dark killer bassline and a touch of sexy humor. Home on a Sunday should rather be called Club on a Sunday; the perfect balance between minimal techno and pop."

Title:	Ringing
Label:	HORIZONTAL
Format:	2x12"
Price:	$20.00
Catalog #:	HORIZON 005EP

"The most recent Horizontal record brings us Berlin resident and Chilean native Dinky, who releases a beautifully packaged 4-tracker in a double pack for maximum sound quality and club power. Dinky currently holds a residency at the incredible Panoramabar in Berlin, as well as Frankfurt's Room 106. As well as founding Horizontal, she is also signed to Cocoon Records; who released the massive single Acid In My Fridge in 2005. A-side 'Horizontal' carries the label's name, and was actually present on the label's debut release. Since then, demand has dictated that this hip house classic be released again. The fat, tapped live percussion foreground and hazy, ethereal background paints a picture punctuated by gasps and stroked key licks in a sweat soaked, and distinctly Latin summer soiree. Second on the A side, 'Lazed' is an innovative techno track, with Dinky pushing sustained tones and bleeps to an ambient guitar crescendo. B-side 'Ringing' is a highly original minimal house track with great sequencing work that develops into a hypnotic arpeggio, with Dinky's vocal solo adding a dizzy tension to proceedings amidst the alarm like reverberations and determined bass drive. A3 'Jack' is a strong dancefloor track already advocated by the floors of Panoramabar and Dc10. In the artists own words it's 'Chicago house meets Chilean minimalism.'"

Title:	Move In EP
Label:	VAKANT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	VA 020EP

"The delectable Chilean mistress Dinky has infiltrated the Vakant Berlin Boys Tec Team (VBBTT). A welcome infusion of sweet freshness has filled the otherwise dank locker room and the boyz will never be the same. Don't be misled, it's not all rosewater and kittens. This girl is packin' guns. Not only does Dinky bring us the next Vakant EP, but an album coming this fall as well, her third. The long road that brought Ms. Iglesias from Chile to NYC to Berlin to a mega dancefloor near you is happily bumpin' along, parked here currently at the Vakant robo trucker park of wonder and her own spot Horizontal. A side 'She is Moving' features L.A. minimal funk vocalist turned Brooklynite Dawson Bacca a.k.a. Big Bully. Together they attain that vital equilibrium of naughty and nice: synthy klinky funky and soulful-y. Flip side reveals a funk of a different sort. 'Da 20s' is a dryer pursuit of the bounce, just as motivationally effective but got Sunday summer afternoon written all over it. Can you feel the sun? Mmmmm warm and Dinky."
