horizontal is proud to offer a robustly breezy release from accomplished french producer, anthony collins. continuing the rich vein of form that has earned him notable success on labels such as mule and freak n chic, collins once again proves his mettle in typically discerning fashion.

dj support by doc martin, luke solomon, rob mello, anthony collins, sebo k., raresh, matthias kaden! the latest cut from the house of horizontal comes courtesy of head seamstress herself dinky. it comes as no surprise then that æpaquitaÆ û our eponymous a-side heroine û dances as well as she dresses. with unabashed bounce in the bass, a hip-shaking kick and impassioned vocal hook, the track issues funk and soul in abundance as it makes headway towards sumptuous stabs of a delectably old-school flavour. matthew styles weaves his thread through proceedings to tailor a revamp of æpaquitaÆ in deftly-cut club couture. elements of dub bubble over a relentlessly driven beat in what is a typically cool and candid offering from the horizontal stalwart.

vlad caia, a young romanian living in norway, with his wide range of influences are worn as true colours in his music. his demo was thrust into our hands by one of his fine colleagues, and now finally we can bring his debut platter for horizontal. as you will hear its a bright start for vlad at horizontal, he brings us two charming pieces of upfront house, chango with its cuban overtones and incessant groove calling all at the party. johnny frisco on the other hand has its own low deep funk flavor. both tracks nevertheless are proving to be a favourite of chefs such as tobi neumann, locodice, onur ozer, raresh, josh wink and of course dinky & matthew styles. we hope you enjoy as much as we do this summers release for horizontal!

dj support from ricardo villalobos, tobi neumann (cocoon), raresh (rpr sound-system), locodice , luciano, onur ozer & rob mello, luke solomon, geddes, matt tolfrey... la raza starts with deep tribal rhythms and a discrete baseline, as the track builds, weaving in synthetic indian calls which finally breakout and turn this into a peak-time monster. on the flip, dinky takes a rare remix excursion, creating a deep psychedelic version of the original. her trademark groove wraps itself around you drawing you in further and further stripping everything away into a hedonistic peak, then finally dinky releases you from the spell & back into the rhythms…. already receiving great reaction and picked by onur ozur for his next cd compilation, this will be the start of horizontals sound summer 2008

this >sources ep< shows exactly where matthews heads at as a producer and dj, wonderfully deep groove-lead modern house with his own unique twist. being released on dinkys highly-desired horizontal imprint, its the first of a run of releases with another ep soon to be released on diamonds & pearls, a label whose small roster includes luciano, ricardo villalobos and henrik schwarz. >double exposure< on the sources ep can also be heard as the penultimate track on dinkys fantastic new get lost 3 mix for crosstown rebels, its safe to say shes a big fan, but then again its hard to find anyone who knows matthew personally or through his music that isnt a fan. 2008 could be a big year for the unlikely but highly talented star
