UV-Portrait: Lars Laemmerzahl
Sure, some consider record covers as art. And because it’s art, it’s a matter of personal interpretation. Having said that, we don’t think it’s too misguiding for your own analysis if we tell you a little bit about the story behind some of our covers. For this edition we spoke to artist Lars Laemmerzahl who...
Prayervan EP reviewed by Little White Earbuds
“Dresden’s quietly brilliant dealers of quirky house drop one of their catchiest and most straight-up appealing collections courtesy of Sandrow M. Here, the Dresden local has to some degree slid away from that chemically tranquilized wooziness of his earlier Uncanny Valley-released tracks such as “The Three Trees” or ”Friction” with Jacob Korn — often a...
Sandrow M – Prayervan video
Uncanny Valley recently released the Prayervan EP by Sandrow M. For the EP’s title track, Robert Arnold aka Cuthead directed a brand new video. The clip was recorded on dusty VHS and delivers a captivating 80′s spirit by means of vintage techniques. The location of the shooting was the Scheune Dresden, a well known cultural...
UV015 / Various Artists
Another (more or less) round catalogue number, another Various Artists EP on Uncanny Valley: This time it’s a full package with four true club bangers (at least to our ears…). On the A-side we have the heart warming label debut of the Polish producer Eltron John. He contributes his remix for “Varsovie” (French for Warsaw)...

This show is all about music that sound somehow exotic to people from Middle-Europe. For UV Funk, Conrad Kaden selected his favourite Exotica tracks from countries like Trinidad, South Africa, Mali, Brazil, Poland, Iran, Turkey, India, Indonesia and Bavaria . Of course he couldn’t resist to sneak in one track from the upcoming Java /...
Prayervan EP reviewed at Resident Advisor
Dresden’s Uncanny Valley continues its eclectic, entertaining approach to house with local lad Sandrow M’s debut 12-inch. The lead track is less strict 4/4, more smoky, vocal pop, dusted with jazzy electric piano, wobbly synths and a coconut shell gallop. “Facerunner” couldn’t be more different—trippy house that folds back into itself like a Gordian knot....
UV Funk 012: Edits Special
Just recently, when Philipp stood in front of his record shelf, he thought it would be a good time to do an Edits mix. After all he got to know a lot of good music due to that danceable versions. So this UV Funk show is all about Edits. From start to finish. No voiceovers,...

Jardin Du Mide EP reviewed in Groove Magazine
Sebastian Stehlik alias Scherbe ist der neueste Zuwachs der sympathischen Uncanny Valley-Familie aus Dresden und zeigt einen Hang zu rauhem House. „Arts Is Moving Butts“ hat viel Tanzflächenpotenzial und entwickelt mit rumpelndem Beat, einem warmen Vocalsample, das als Klängfläche fungiert, einen angenehmen Sog. In dem von einem stoischen Bass angetriebenen „College Dropout“ verklickert uns das...
Redenswart EP reviewed in Groove Magazine
Diese jungen Dresdner! Jacob Stoy hat sich in kürzester Zeit im Uncanney Valley einen Namen gemacht. Anfangs durch extrem stylische Flyergestaltung, nun durch vier Tracks, die unglaublich reif und durchdacht wirken sowie gleichsam leicht und schwerelos. Das zehnminütige „Redensart“ ist mit wunderschönem Synthie-Schingelschangel, einem extrem angenehmen Bass und großartigen Sound-Effekten allein schon Kaufanreiz genug. Die...

Jardin Du Midi EP reviewed on Resident Advisor
At the risk of sounding like one of those crappy film trailer voiceovers: In a world… of nice-but-average house music… Scherbe does things differently. The Dresden-based producer cites growing up listening to hip-hop on US Forces radio at home in Karlsruhe as an early influence. His debut for Uncanny Valley certainly shows an ability to...

UV013 / Scherbe – Jardin Du Midi EP
Uncanny Valley introduces the next artist from the UV010 compilation with his solo debut. This time it’s Scherbe and his “Jardin Du Midi-EP”. And what he delivers is pure Deep House goodness. First of all, “College Dropout” makes clear that a lashing snare can never be wrong. With that infectious xylophone loop and slightly devilish...

Redenswart EP reviewed on Juno
Redenswart shows relative newcomer Jacob Stoy to be a producer with a keen ear for atmosphere, an eye for detail and a head full of ideas. The title track sets the tone, offering a powerfully melancholic stroll through deep dub house territory. There are twinkling melodies, too, but these play second fiddle to the impeccably...
UV Funk 010: Zombocombo Tribute
For those of you who don’t know the infamous Zombocombo from Munich: This is not your typical club night.
