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:	No Sleep
Label:	HORIZONTAL
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	HORIZON 003EP

"A1: 'No Sleep': an amazing 13-minute Latin pop electronic house piece, a journey that is already making a name for itself on the world's best dancefloors. Percussions, bass lines, bleeps, mental sounds blending together with a dirty groove that keeps on changing and developing, to peak in soulful and painful vocals accompanied with a lead melancholic guitar and Jorge singing, 'is just like to be on drugs without the fun'..... sounds familiar? The song ends in beautiful Detroit styled chords, a good reason to play it until the end. B1: 'Close That Door': an acid house jam with extravagant and abstract lyrics. 'Close That Door' has a killer acid bass line and the usual quirky Dinky touch, lots of sex and groove on this track, a sure peak-timer. Think Dan Bell meets Prince."

Label:	HORIZONTAL

Catalog #:	HORIZON 004EP

"Jambi, originating from Israel by way of the US & UK, is currently living in Berlin -- Techno City. Jambi is known for his releases on District of Corruption, Turning Spork, Textone, and Junion. After developing his roots in the US scene, Jambi has taken his personal synergy to the Berlin scene and has been working with Jay Haze, Dan Curtin, Tobi Neumann, and Dinky. Jambi and Dinky met initially in the mid-nineties while she was DJing in a Manhattan club and they instantly had a connection due to their mutual love for music and clubbing. 'Lost' is the first Horizontal release from Jambi and a very well balanced EP. 'Lost' is a 4-track package that has the musical range of high energy, peak time to heady after-hours grooves."

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.'"
