Synth wizard und Disco don Massimiliano Pagliara is the latest addition to Uncanny Valley’s roster. And if you’re familiar with the Italian’s soundscapes you probably think this is good news. And yes, you’re right.

From the first bass drum it is clear that “Connection Lost” pulls out all the stops. There is an urgency in its drumming and synth work that shouts “dance floor anthem” right from the get-go. “I Am Running All My Drum Machines At Once And Dancing” plays out like a percussive orgasm triggering pretty much all the drum sounds you could imagine.

On the sleazy Disco affair that is “Don't Give Up On Love” Massimiliano gets vocal support from Sigrid Elliott. This is a oh-so-sexy alliance that would have shined bright even in the heydays of Boogie. Finally, “I Enjoy Myself While I Am Here” shows off once again that when Massimiliano Pagliara is at the keys he creates glorious vibes like nobody else.

The artwork was created by Alexander Dorn aka Credit 00 who also helped to establish the connection after contributing to Massimiliano’s album “With One Another”.

Journey To The Center Of The Sun (Resista 005)

It only takes one listen to Jee Day's "Like A Child" – and its whirling, hypnotic rush – to recognize the know-how that has made studio whiz Dennis "DJ" McNany a go-to source in New York City's dance music scene. Over the last decade, the sound architect has become a musical jack-of-all-trades: Fine tuning releases from outfits such as The Rapture and Turing Machine; working on early output from DFA Records; maintaining his own Run Roc label; remixing artists like Panthers, Ghostape and Digable Planet's Ladybug Mecca; and contributing keyboards and percussion on tour with The Juan Maclean. In light of the already impossibly long list of credits to McNany's name (including the numerous pseudonyms under which he's released his own music) the Jee Day debut 12" is a bit like a first listen to an artist who audiences, ironically, have already heard many times before.

As expected, the release is yet further justification of McNany's well-deserved reputation. "Like A Child" takes a solid foundation of indefatigable 909 beats and surrounds them in a wash of mesmerizing, reverb-drenched vocals, provided by collaborator Jee Young Sim. This dazzling single – a tribute to Arthur Russell, analog construction and early Madonna – puts on prominent display McNany's ability to seamlessly mix lush pop and vibrant dance into a rich, textured and intoxicating blend.

Follow-up "Snake Bite" is equally attention worthy. McNany rounds up a host of sounds – synthetic strings, snaking bass, and mechanical beats – in a sultry composition that includes Sim's layered singing echoing darkly throughout the track. And the B-Side "Run-Rock Dub" remix of "Like A Child" keeps the beat intact, but adds rubbery bass, spacey synths and McNany's own cavernous vocals to the mix.
