  • Silences
    After her debut EP for Hivern Discs, shtum is very happy to welcome Inga Mauer to the family. The Russian born but constantly travelling artist delivers the goods in form of four dust-dry and psychedelic Techno tracks that celebrate the obscurities.
    Starting with “Dno” she sets the tone with an anthem for dark skies and basements. “Silences” is captivating with its dysfunctional sounds. After the whirling dance of “My Flights Without You” you can’t help but feel a little dizzy. And “Dystopia” feels like hypnotic Techno with a punk attitude.

  • DJ City - Moon Milk
    From Sweden with Italo to Dresden with love. Stockholm's @djdjcity drops his first release on Dresden's Uncanny Valley with the COSMICOMICS EP, a 100% fun record for all the senses, deeply inspired by Italo Calvino's iconic short story collection.
    COSMICOMICS borrows its name from a collection of short stories written by Italian author Italo Calvino, first published in Italian in 1965. The stories have inspired DJ City to a record that aesthetically draws from 80s Italo Disco and 70s science fiction films. In the book, each story is based on a scientific fact about the world and the cosmos whilst using fiction to ask how we understand it. Where Calvino's stories are comical and absurd, DJ City surrenders to the sublime and romantic and moves further into the metaphysical world that Calvino created to come up with three energetic and melodic tracks bursting heavily with fantasy and drama. Deeply rooted in dance music’s history, they shine with Hi-NRG-vibes, strict dancefloor commitment and little easter eggs like that Drexciya-reference in COSMICOMICS.
    The cover of the record is a painting from 2020 by Swedish artist Jens Fänge called THE INN. We see a man in front of the entrance to a Mediterranean-style building and a woman in a window on the upper floor. The picture seems to have been broken up into several dimensions, and abstract details make it difficult for the viewer to know exactly what and when the scene is taking place. When shown in Shanghai, the painting was censored by government agents and had to be taken down. A testament to the power of the image. Perhaps it shows our main character, perhaps it shows us the author or the artist. Depending on who listens, who reads and who looks, a multitude of universes open.

  • Uncanny Valley Radio 093 - Bigos a la Balearic with Stachy.DJ
    Here's the new radio show straight out of the studio from none other than @stachy, a true legend who has been living his daily life in Dresden for a few years now, but has a career that spans all sorts of roots in music, with a respectable background in hip-hop and a decent career in pop music under his belt. To this day, he just can't get enough of music, be it in an academic context, as a versatile electronic music producer, a passionate lover of ambient and vaporwave or as a fun DJ. For the show, he dives deep into his Polish roots with this special version of Baltic Balearica, which he calls Bigos a la Balearic. Have fun!

  • Uncanny Valley Radio 088 - Hawaii Special with Fabian
    Not only is he one of the nicest people in Alt-Stralau, he also has the best taste in music beyond the blue lagoon. In addition to lawnmower symphonies and ambient cacophonies, Fabian has also acquired a veritable collection of Hawaiian music. Reason enough for Philipp to invite his good friend for the long awaited comeback of Uncanny Valley Radio to offer us a handpicked selection of traditional slack-key guitar ballads and ukulele serenades. Immerse yourself in the rich and vibrant world of Hawaiian music, where drums are strictly forbidden and swaying palm trees and crystal clear waters come alive through the rhythms. Aloha!

  • Uncanny Valley Radio 086 - Merry Ambient Christmas Part Eight
    As always at Christmas, Philipp gives you 90 minutes of contemplation with the annual Ambient Special. A lot has happened again this year in the land of wallpaper music, with Ambient taking another decisive step towards dominating pop music with new sounds and exciting artists. A development that will probably continue next year, apparently also because people are in good need of all forms of escape from reality right now. If you feel this too, be sure to check out part one to seven. And by the way, the cover is an impression of the beautiful Coyote Buttes in Arizona. Merry Ambient Christmas everyone!
