Couple weeks ago an old buddy emailed me...  "Serge... I digitalized some old mixes you did back in the days... you interested in the files? They're pretty cool!  One has written 'Clone Store selection December 1996' on it".  Dude of course!!

Recorded in the very first Clone store location, the old Urban Unit skatestore garage... 23 years ago.  While my neightbours of Midtown records were selling shit and shit loads of gabber (which was at its peak and total mainstream in 1996), I was selling records to the freaks and recording mixes like this in the quiet hours in the shop.

The only Pioneer equipment used was the headphone, the classic SE450... mixed on a crappy Realistic mixer.....the tape had some glitches as it's probably a copy, or a copy of a copy, as the reach of such a mix was probably about 10 friends who all copied from each other...  Funny when you realize how easy is it to reach 1000's via Soundcloud and Youtube these days, while back then you only made these mix tapes for a couple buddies... :-)

 I can use some help with track id’s as I barely remember 4 of them... time screws up your memory 😂

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.
