Night Swim is the debut LP from Bellofatto & Gentile, a collaboration that was founded on the soccer fields of Austin, Texas during the spring of 2019. The duo of Giovanni Bellofatto (an alias of Jesse Edwards) and Dan Gentile initially started exploring the melodies and textures of Italian dream house, but those experiments soon evolved to include modular synthesizers, breakbeats, and left-field samples. Bellofatto's work dates back to the '90s and has credits on albums by Jessica Bailiff (Kranky), Odd Nosdam (Anticon), and His Name Is Alive. In the early '00s, he pioneered acoustic/electronic territories with his psychedelic project Red Morning Chorus. With 20 years of DJing under his belt, Gentile released his first house music productions as Time Zones in 2019 on Mystery Zone Records, with subsequent singles on Bay Area Disco and Moiss Music. The legend John Beltran provides mixing treatments on half of Night Swim that will be released on Prins Thomas's balearic imprint Horisontal Mambo in 2023.

The Neapolitan producer makes a comeback on Horisontal Mambo with an ideal follow-up to his previous LP Palinuro Phonebox (MAMBO 006LP, 2020) and once again teams up with label boss Prins Thomas for some mixdown touches. Halfway between Italo boogie and Balearic beats, Chalet Miseno is a nostalgic ode to some '90s "estate Italiana" holidays seen through the eyes of a kid. From the catchy beats of the title track (with its roaring motorbike intermezzo) and "Dragonara Punch", to the dreamy soundscapes of "Luna Mirabilis" this album is guaranteed to be the perfect soundtrack to a hot summer (and a refresher for the long winter).

After a long hiatus Marius Våreid returns home debuting his new The Inner Sleeves moniker. Already a mainstay on Full Pupp under his own name and in tandem with Jarle Bråthen as Ytre Rymden Dansskola (and not to mention his pioneering work in the Norwegian electronic music scene with the "Norwegian Grammy"-winning Päronsoda), Rêverie represents a new chapter in Marius's long and varied musical story. Free-floating ideas and sketches written over time, then stretched out and given a final massage by Prins Thomas.

Following in the footsteps of Giorgio Lopez, Horisontal Mambo have another newcomer on the label. Behind this Balearic EP (or Donauleric perhaps?) the label have Attila and Szilard, aka Pleasure Voyage, from Budapest. Teaming up as a DJ and production team in 2018 they found a mutual love of disco and Balearic sounds. In their own words: "Pleasure Voyage is a cruise through the universe of feel-good music." After a little touch up and additional mixing by Prins Thomas at Asker's B15 lab Horisontal Mambo are content on classifying this as a modern Balearic classic.

Giorgio Lopez was born in Naples in 1985. Playing the piano from age seven, he discovered funk, hip-hop, and jazz and started playing keyboards with bands around the city. In 2015, he puts aside the idea of becoming a professional pianist and moves to Geneva, to work for CERN: but, there, he also falls in love with club music... Back on holiday in Naples in 2020, dusts off his old synths and records this love letter to his own musical past. Palinuro Phonebox is inspired by childhood memories of summer holidays in the south of Italy: nightly car trips on endless highways, late arrivals in camps for families, loitering in grungy arcade bars with cheesy neon signs, calling your friends from an old payphone and running out of coins, sneaking out unseen on some buddy's souped-up moped, playing grown-ups with girls drinking sodas with an attitude.

Pink Fluid is not an Italian EDM duo by the same name, but the new band of Jon Tye and Pete Fowler who form the core of Seahawks. As Test Pressing once called it: "A partnership born of A Psychedelic Guide To Monsterism Island (2009) -- the soundtrack to Pete's illustrations, toys and figures -- cemented by gigs playing records by Boston, Steely Dan, and Fleetwood Mac at The Big Chill Bar, fueled by a passion for vintage music-making machines, and given a name after a weekend spent in sailors outfits at Bestival. From tracks synthesized around AOR samples, Seahawks now record pretty much as a full band -- which includes members of Hot Chip and The Horrors." So, what happened to Pink Fluid? Jon explains: "The first Pink Fluid release Pipe Dreams is coming up on Prins Thomas's Horizontal Mambo imprint, we don't know when but we know it will be beautiful when it does." And here it is! Pipe Dreams is an eight track, 32-minute mini-album of sheer, almost translucent, beauty. Horisontal Mambo is a sub-label of Full Pupp.

"Following their Atalanta 12" (MAMBO 003EP, 2016), Stockholm-based Farbror Resande Mac returns to Horisontal Mambo with this extended EP of b**earic bliss. Through releases on labels such as Aficionado, Back to the Balearics and Is It Balearic they've carved their own niche in the tropical music climate we northeners like to embrace. Although it's hard to escape the use of the dreaded b-word it might be the most fitting label still. Anyway, we love it and we hope you do too" --Prins Thomas, Mambo HQ, January 15, 2017. Includes both tracks from the Atalanta 12" as bonus tracks.
