French Progressive wunderkid Matt Fax returns to Colorize for a second, immensely impressive EP hot from his recent 'Careless / Huntdown' release which saw the young producer pickup extensive praise & accolades from the dance music press.

Opening his new EP with 'Horizon' Matt Fax displays his increasingly loved depth and groove in abundance. Living up to it's mellow name, 'Horizon' which sees early support from Armin van Buuren, is a journey through smoothly flowing plucks & chords, chirpy bass and rising hi-hats. Exploring a more uplifting sound, but retaining Matt's uniquely layered style, 'Horizon' perfectly opens this release.

Tying off the EP with the techier 'Blimp' Matt reverts back to familiar territory in a uniquely aggressive, encompassing number filled with seamless FX, touches and groove throughout.

Proving once again why he's one of the most impressive talents in the scene at such a young age, Matt Fax is back with his infectious sound with 'Horizon / Blimp'.

Dirkie Coetzee started his career in the EDM scene as a bedroom DJ way back at the tender age of 16. After spending numerous years perfecting his mixing skills he quickly started to feature in night clubs, events and radio stations around Southern Africa. It was in this time that Dirkie started to gain interest in the art of music production. 

“I used to be a DJ, but thanks to the wonderful world of music production I can now create the music I want to play.”

Without any formal training in music theory, rhythms, chord progressions, sound synthesis or music production in general, Dirkie set out to learn this fine art by scouring any available articles and tutorials available on the internet. With many years of trial and error Dirkie slowly refined his skills as a music producer to create the sounds you hear in his music today.

“It’s hard to stay motivated when you feel like you are not achieving anything with your music, but passion for music always dies a slow death and quitting is never an option for me.”

It’s this passion for music and trance music production in particular that has helped Dirkie to get his music signed to some of the best labels in the business.
 
2011 is the year Dirkie Coetzee focused all his energy and time on producing Vocal Trance. His debut Vocal Trance production “Never Looking Back” with world renowned singer and songwriter Emma Lock has given Dirkie a solid platform to showcase his ability to craft this powerful genre of music. American artist Marcia Juell is another one of the world’s leading Trance Vocalists that has worked on collaborations with the rapidly rising producer from South Africa.
