- UVMC07 - 01. Gareth Psaltis - These Shadows feat. Billy KRelease Date: May, 29, 2026Artist: @barkingmusicCatalogue No.: UVMC07To be released on tape and digitallyDistributed by Clone DistributionP & © 2026 by Uncanny Valley – www.uncannyvalley.deContact – [email protected]01 Gareth Psaltis feat. Billy K – These Shadows02 Gareth Psaltis – A View Across The Sand03 Gareth Psaltis – Rush04 Gareth Psaltis – In Her Reflection05 Gareth Psaltis – Closer On Water Droplets06 Gareth Psaltis – You Sleepwalker07 Gareth Psaltis – Fell Upon08 Gareth Psaltis – NiederbahnWith IN HER REFLECTION Australian-born Gareth Psaltis aka @barkingmusic steps into a new chapter. Formerly releasing music under the moniker Barking, the Berlin-based producer now presents his most personal work to date under his full name—marking both an artistic and emotional shift. It’s his first release on the long-running Dresden-based label Uncanny Valley, which is venturing into uncharted territory with this release.The album signals a clear move away from the analogue-synthesis foundations of his earlier output towards a more fragmentary, collage-like approach. Samples drawn from obscure jazz and Greek folk records intertwine with everyday field recordings, framed by jungle rhythms and ambient drift but also post punk-informed basslines, wave and jazz structures. The result is music that feels intimate yet open-ended, rooted in club culture while quietly pulling away from it.Written over the past one to two years, IN HER REFLECTION mirrors a period of profound change in Psaltis’ life. Navigating the isolation and uncertainty of living in Berlin, the process was shaped by his wife’s pregnancy and the birth of his first daughter, experiences that brought new forms of connection, grounding and belonging. These themes surface most clearly on the title track, which also marks the first appearance of Psaltis’ own vocals, reflecting on transformation, vulnerability and closeness.Balancing introspection with rhythmic precision, IN HER REFLECTION is not a reinvention but a refinement, an album that embraces subtlety, memory and emotional resonance and positions Gareth Psaltis firmly within Uncanny Valley’s distinctive catalogue.The eight tracks form a coherently sounding album that is best visualided by the unique artwork by Carl-Johannes Schulze, one of the label heads.CreditsWritten and produced by Gareth Psaltis in the little room.Guitar on Track 1 from Billy K.Published by Copyright Control.Mastered by Anne Taegert, Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin.Artwork by Carl-Johannes Schulze, studiosuspect.comPhotos by Siem Salaboem.3 min

- Uncanny Valley Radio 098 - Best of 2025Welcome to the world's last edition of an annual best-of show! Every January, Philipp, host at UV Radio, asks friends from the Uncanny Valley and Balearic Sunday community about their favorite song from the past year. The result is once again a super listenable mix and a tribute to the music itself. Of course, the artists themselves present their favorite song. Many thanks to everyone who contributed.

- Uncanny Valley Radio 097 - Merry Ambient Christmas Part ElevenAs the year draws to a close, UV Radio host @philipp-demankowski returns to the show with a tradition that has become a quiet constant: the annual Ambient Special. Now in its eleventh edition, the show once again offers a gentle pause in an otherwise hectic year. Given the current state of the world, 90 minutes of drifting, unobtrusive sound may be just the kind of refuge many are looking for. Take a step back, settle into a calm space, and let the music do the rest.

About Uncanny Valley Podcast
From the publisher's feed
Uncanny Valley is a label from Dresden, Germany.
sub-labels: shtum Records & @credit00ratlife

https://uncannyvalley.de/dates
Starting as a label that served basically as a platform for their friends’ music in 2010, Uncanny Valley evolved into a record label that assembles acclaimed artists from the electronic music scene not only from the label’s base in Dresden but also from Germany and beyond. With a strong emphasis on the records’ artwork the label heads Philipp Demankowski, Conrad Kaden and Carl-Johannes Schulze are constantly on a mission to establish and refine the artists from the roster as well as to search for new talents. Artists as Jacob Korn, Cuthead, Credit 00, Massimiliano Pagliara, CVBox or Panthera Krause all feel at home on the label, giving them the chance to develop projects that are not only music related but can also integrate different art forms. With the two offshoots Rat Life and shtum under its belt, Uncanny Valley does not stand still to explore the full spectrum of electronic and not so electronic music from House via Disco, Hip-Hop or Ambient through to Techno. A range that can also be depicted when the three label heads come together for a DJ set as Uncanny Valley DJs.
