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.

Ekko is a DJ and producer from southern Germany who captivates audiences with his unique, melodic, driving, and highly danceable sound. As the founder of the underground label LAPS Recordings, Ekko blends pounding techno beats with trance-infused basslines, emotional synths, and dark, melancholic atmospheres. His style spans Melodic Techno, Peaktime, Hardtechno, Trance, and Hardtrance – always powerful, always distinctive.

Born in 1997 near Ulm, Ekko was hitting drums before he could even walk. At just four years old, he stood in front of an audience for the first time, and music has played a central role in his life ever since. Besides drums, he taught himself multiple instruments and even produced a small album using a DAW at the age of 12.

After discovering electronic music, it quickly became clear that he wanted to be behind the decks. In 2017, he played his first DJ set on a local radio show – together with the crew members who would later co-found the club Gleis 44 in Ulm with him. Ekko remains a resident DJ there to this day and played a key role in the founding of Kollektiv Schillerstraße, Gleis 44’s official resident DJ crew.

During the first COVID lockdown in 2020, Ekko began producing his own tracks. His productions are defined by heavy kick drums, trance-inspired basslines, 303 acid elements, and signature melancholic melodies. Whether in the studio or on stage, he always manages to retain a unique character that sets him apart from other peaktime techno artists.

In 2021, Ekko also launched the duo project Mind Chemistry together with Hans Pech. The two met at Gleis 44 in 2020, where they’ve been playing together regularly ever since. After their first B2B set, it was instantly clear: the synergy was undeniable. With a musical range from Melodic Techno to Peaktime, Hardtechno, and Trance, Mind Chemistry delivers an intense ride through emotion and energy – sometimes dark, sometimes euphoric, but always on point.

In 2022, they co-founded the label LAPS Recordings alongside two fellow artists and soon released their first collaborative EP. After receiving great feedback and playing successful shows across Germany, they officially launched the duo, continuing to build a strong reputation with their dynamic and genre-blending sound.

Ekko has performed at renowned clubs and festivals across Germany, including:

Gleis 44, Roxy, Club Eden, Club Schilli, Club Action, Eins Tiefer (Ulm); Douala (Ravensburg); Bukowski (Heilbronn); Culteum (Karlsruhe); Club Toy (Stuttgart); Make Club (Fellbach); Lieber Scholli (Passau); Abdera & FreeFlow Festival (Biberach); Salt&Pepper (Pforzheim); 100Hz (Augsburg); Coppi & Ritter Butzke & Institut (Berlin); Pan (Hannover); 2takt Festival (Heidenheim); Schwarzer Adler (Egelsee).

He has supported numerous headliners and friends, such as:

Abraxa, Aisha, Alessia Cattani, Anett Gapstream, Ani, Anubix, Chris Liebing, Daniela Hensel, David Strasser, David Suono, DJ Hell, DJ Traytex, Dominik Eulberg, Eargasm God, Grace Thompson, Herbrido, HXTC, Isabelle Beaucamp, Jatra, Kerstin Eden, Ko:lab, Loraw, Lost Minds, Luigi Madonna, Melanchromie, Millie Forsberg, Moonwalk, Negitiv, Part Time Killer, Pappenheimer, Summit, Tanja Miju, The Enveloper, Trancemaster Krause, Tonino, Tritonus, Zeltak
