Digging Deep Detroit - Dru Allan - 20 Mar 2025

Fourteen years of Uncanny Valley - fourteen years of resisting the predictable, the neatly packaged crap that keeps electronic music stuck in a loop. Dresden's bastard child of a label has survived, thrived and kept its teeth by refusing to be just another name in the endless mess of club culture.

And now Carl Suspect, co-label boss and sonic agitator, is opening up the archive and piecing together something raw, urgent and unfiltered. “14 Years of Uncanny Valley” is a journey through the dark corridors of house, jazz-funk, Italo, ambient and techno - an uncompromising, sweaty ride that feels less like a retrospective and more like a battle cry. And it's all on cassette, because fuck your algorithm-friendly playlists.

This isn't nostalgia. This isn't a victory lap. It's proof that Uncanny Valley still doesn't play by the rules. Carl Suspect puts it on cassette - the rest is noise.

Carl Suspect - 14 Years of Uncanny Valley

TWIRL! - Kim Anh - 28 Apr 2025

"It was so difficult to become someone." The house hero talks about Chicago's competitive scene, developing a sound and letting go of his ego. 

Theo Parrish is one of dance music's most influential DJs and producers. Raised in Chicago, he's become synonymous with slow-burning, immersive grooves and sets that mix classics with obscurities. He began DJing in 1986 aged 13, eventually earning a degree in sculpture and moving to Detroit, where he hit his stride as an artist and became a member of the collective Three Chairs alongside Moodymann, Rick Wilhite and Marcellus Pittman. He also started the label Sound Signature, which uses the language of soul, jazz, disco, Chicago house and Detroit techno.

A few months ago, Resident Advisor teamed up with London institution fabric to host Parrish for an eight-hour set—his first time playing the club. While he was in town, he also spoke with CDR's Tony Nwachukwu. In the Exchange, Parrish talks about the intensely competitive scene he grew up in. He DJ'd for 13 years before he was ever paid or had his name billed on a lineup. It took years of passion and hard work to break out of his local scene and build the career he's become known for. 

"At five years, you're dealing with the technical part [of DJing], at ten it's finding your sound and at 15 it's dealing with the ego of it all," he says. "It's not until much later that you actually start to play for and with people."

Parrish also reflects on the ongoing dearth of diversity in the dance music industry and posits whether some of the most popular music in the US—such as trap—reinforces counterproductive racial stereotypes. He asks: did house music ultimately survive because it left where it originally came from? Listen to the episode in full. -Chloe Lula

Full Tracklist: https://bleep.com/bleep-mix-302--eli-keszler

To mark the release of his new self-titled LP on LUCKYME®, composer and percussionist Eli Keszler shares an exclusive mix for Bleep - a deep and haunting selection of music that mirrors the atmosphere of his latest work. From Vivaldi to Feldman, Stark Reality to Takemitsu, Keszler drifts through baroque, free jazz, minimalism and haunting folk in a dreamlike continuum.

“This mix is an attempt to capture a particular affect — the interplay of bright light and dark corners that’s run through my recent record,” says Keszler. “It’s not about style or era, but about color, mood, and contrast. A kind of emotional zone that lingers between high contrast, beauty and shadow.”

An extension of the Lynchian tension and impressionistic textures found on the new album, this mix reveals some of the DNA behind Keszler’s soundworld - full of sharp turns, ghosted melodies, and flickers of the surreal.
