Welcome 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. Enjoy!

As 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. Wishing everyone a peaceful Ambient Christmas.

Dancers have to train hard and perform with a rough edge, conveying emotions with as much acting ease as possible. At the end it also requires choreography, clothing, lighting and the appropriate set with lots of helping hands. The bigger the show, the more people are involved. With a few exceptions, it also needs sound, rhythm or just a appropriate soundscape. Sometimes existing music is used because it is structurally well suited to the piece. Other times, working with composers and musicians is the best way to put your own stamp on the piece bringing things to the point.

@sandrow_m has been working with choreographers and dance piece makers for several years. With this compilation he presents 20 different pieces of music that were either used because of their suitability or were created. There is no attempt to present the entire spectrum, which would not be possible in 90 minutes anyway. Nevertheless the compilation contains various styles, for which, with a little patience, you can try to find corresponding film material on the Internet to complete your listening experience.

1. Thomas Bangalter - CHIROPTERA Solo Intro (from JR, Damien Jalet, Thomas Bangalter - CHIROPTERA)

2. Alisdair Macindoe - 4/4 (from Chunky Move – 4/4)

10. Jamie xx – Gosh

For music written specifically for a dance piece, the choreographers and names of the pieces are given in brackets. Compositions that were used for one or more dance pieces due to their suitability after their creation are named without such a designation.

As Christmas approaches, UV Radio host @philipp-demankowski continues a cherished tradition with the annual Ambient Special. This year marks a milestone—it’s already the tenth episode of this soothing journey. In a busy year when UV Radio managed just three regular shows, this special provides a rare but reliable moment of calm. With the state of the world as it is, those 90 minutes of wallpaper music might be exactly what you need. So, find a quiet spot, unwind, and let the sounds envelop you. Merry Ambient Christmas, everyone!

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!

As always at Christmas, UV Radio host @philipp-demankowski gives you 90 minutes of contemplation with the annual Ambient Special. Believe it or not. It’s already the ninth episode of that little tradition. In a shameful year for UV Radio with only three regular shows, at least this is something we can rely on. Chances are high that you’ll need those 90 minutes of wallpaper music regarding what is happening in the world right now. So lie down and relax. Merry Ambient Christmas, everyone!

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!
