After the extensive “Uncanny Valley 20” compilation we go back to our classic 4- track-format for “Uncanny Valley 025”. Taking the chance to introduce 3 new artists to our roster, we warmly welcome Lake People, Philipp Triebel and RJ (who is also one half of Dürerstuben) to add their distinctive flavour to this record.

Lake People doesn’t need an introduction anymore as his smart and emotional productions are making rounds from Ibiza to your basement club around the corner. His “Unexpected End Of Archive” is another example for his knack to produce tracks that evokes an emotional maelstrom on the dance floor. Beautiful synth melodies are meandering throughout the tune while the slick drum arrangement provides just enough tension to keep your feet on the floor.

Philipp Triebel caught our ear with his live set when we played together at a party in his hometown Giessen. After handing in demos for some time he now contributes “Unity” to this compilation. Clocking in at just 4 and a half minutes it gets us moving with tight chords, tricky drums and a short but prominent synth melody that will be heavy on the dance floor.

The B-side features two tracks by RJ, a member of the 2014 edition of RBMA in Tokyo. “Leo” is an excellent piece of slowly rising House music that pushes the right buttons at just the right time. With melancholic robots on vocals duties and dreamy synth pads this track literally tells a story. Closing the record is “Nie” which rises the pace and takes a similar path like its predecessor with moony synths and a very catchy melody.

Dream Machine (Utopia Dub) [Love On The Rocks]

Part of Amsterdam's new fresh faced school of techno and already affiliated with Rush Hour, Dekmantel, Tape Records, Voyage Direct – it's Interstellar Funk. His latest undertaking and his first on the Rush Hour label, Electric Park Square, brings six tracks of mystical machine sounds that revel in their sensibility. It's essentially computer music with a soul. "Cable 54" opens the EP with a retrospective take on early Detroit techno. Interstellar Funk crafts squelchy, acid-inflected patterns on the 303 and mysterious synth melodies on a track that could blend in virtually unnoticed on one of Cybotron's first releases from the early eighties.

Escape Myself

Zone Records round out their year with a new and thrilling three tracker from Jensen Interceptor. 
Jensen’s versatile brand of techno takes him to clubs and warehouses around the world and has earned him the support of DJs such as Dave Clarke, Helena Hauff and Nina Kraviz amongst others. Taking cues from Detroit electro and Miami bass, rolling Italo and thunderous 90's breaks, he always cooks up a wild ride on influential labels like Boysnoize Records, Cultivated Electronics and Central Processing Unit. 
 It's the arresting ‘Midnite’ which kicks off with rugged basslines and slapping hits. Industrial, menacing moods pervade the tough electro groove and as it gurgles on the inner mechanics of the track take control of your body.  
 The lithe ‘No Sleep’ is even more athletic. Its basslines and synths gurgling and bubble, blurt and explode over and over as tinny cow bells hammer away up top. It’s a visceral and upright cut that’s as raw as they come.  
 Keeping up the energy levels, ‘Illinois 78’ is a little more stripped back, with echoes of EBM in the crunchy and off kilter drums and spooky synths. It’s a stomping, macho track filled with atmosphere and one that is tailor made for gritty warehouses spaces.  
 Once again here Jensen Interceptor brings a unique and powerful sound that will find favour with dance floors worldwide.

Touch Absence

‘Paul’s Horizon’ – @Ryan-Elliott’s first EP in six years – falls musically between Berlin and Detroit, between house and techno and between hypnotic repetition and unpredictability, revealing a subtle ear for groove and composition.

It’s the DJ’s perspective that has informed the Berghain / Panorama Bar resident's own analogue productions, with ‘Paul’s Horizon’ turning its focus toward deep and slick percussion. This is apparent from the get-go, with the title track’s triangle/clap interplay, funky 5-6 kicks per bar, and bleary-eyed atmosphere. From there “Martinsville Morning” slows down into an understated sunrise groover, led by bassline, strings and pads. EP closer “Grafton Road” turns up the pace again with gasps for hats, aggressive punctuating snares, and a modulating synth bubbling-up throughout.
