Sounds of Stillness 012 - Sebby Kowal

The month of August brings many things, but those dearest are the warm, summer breezes. Flowing around Brooklyn and New York bringing with it a brief respite from the hot summer day ahead. Much like a breeze in the morning, today’s mix from Owl brushes all the senses, enveloping the listener in the sounds and textures of a wonderfully deep time and place. Catapulting you from chaos to an inner sanctuary of peace.

MIXMASTER MORRIS djset @ The Seed | MoDem Festival 2023

Nach nur einem knappen Monat können wir uns bereits mit der 16. Ausgabe unseres geliebten und sorgfältig gepflegten Furikasts zurückmelden.

Diesmal begleitet uns kein Geringerer als der legendäre und fantastische @Menqui !

Den in Berlin lebenden Tausendsassa zu beschreiben ist ebenso schwierig wie ihn musikalisch eindeutig zu verorten.
Dieses Vorhaben würde ihm auch gar nicht gerecht werden, denn genau das zeichnet sein musikalisches Schaffen erst aus.
Egal ob mit seinem @Riolabel , seiner Supergroup Dolphins, bestehend aus ihm, @Daloworks und @FreyBenedikt, oder @Pastforward, seiner Radioshow bei Cashmere Radio, die er zusammen mit @Hendrik_Stein und dem @Kryptic_dj betreibt. Es bleibt immer unkonventionell, frisch und spannend!

Aber auch wenn er sich alleine hinter die Turntables stellt, kommt stets etwas überraschendes und neues heraus. Menqui ist eben ein wahrer Meister seiner Künste und ein grosser Zauberer.

Mit Stolz und Freude präsentieren wir euch dieses ganz besondere und einzigartige Set und hoffen, dass es die Geister des Winters ein letztes Mal besingt, damit auch sie den Sommer durch ihre Ruhe finden können.

Manege frei.

Furikast #16 Menqui

Recorded live at @zmarfestival 2024 in the magical sandstone pit in Mšené-lázně, on Saturday night before full moon.

An all-vinyl sonic panoramic journey tracing the coastlines of the Mediterranean, weaving together rhythms, melodies, and voices from the countries that share its sea. From sun-drenched folk traditions to rare grooves and timeless classics, this mix invites you to drift between cultures while staying anchored in one shared horizon.

A Sonic Mediterraneorama - Selections by WoMu Vin

Synths have been the instruments of choice for decades when it comes to soundtracking horror movies. From the heydays in the Seventies with legends like John Carpenter and Goblin to modern approaches that reflects the early days those two pop culture icons make a perfect liaison dangereuse. Whether you like those sharp and abrasive electronic sounds or the haunting synth pads: you can’t doubt that synths create the best atmosphere to have a decent fear attack. 

So here’s a selection that @philipp-demankowski mixed together with some of his favourite horror movie scores. This UV Funk show ties in with the first Soundtrack special that was focused on Exploitation movies.

@cuthead - Return Of The Sample Jesus (UV040)
Buy Vinyl & Digital: http://bit.ly/returnofthesamplejesus

In a world without hope, a world with no appetite for sonic adventures, there’s only one man who can save us all. He is… the Sample Jesus!
From behind the enchanted pyramids of Egypt comes a man that has nothing to prove but a lot to give. Taught by a legendary Pharaoh, he has lived the life of an eremite for decades. Exhausted after years of asceticism there was only one goal on his mind: to blow all the misery out of our heads. On the constant search for the perfect sample he listened to the finest Mongolian folk to experimental Tuvan Throat singings. It was only recently that he was returning from his self-imposed exile to come up with a record that hits deep in everybody’s soul. Hallelujah, House-heads and Hip-Hop-kids, be prepared. Listen to the word of the Sample Jesus!

Campfire Stories 55 (Winter's Spell) by @XEED

~ About The Story ~

No sooner has he woken up in the morning than he feels the day beginning to slip away from him. There is no light to sink his teeth into, no sense of time unfolding. Rather, a feeling of doors being shut, of locks being turned. It is a hermetic season, a long moment of inwardness. The outer world, the tangible world of materials and bodies, has come to seem no more than an emanation of his mind. He feels himself sliding through events, hovering like a ghost around his own presence, as if he were living somewhere to the side of himself - not really here, but not anywhere else either. A feeling of having been locked up, and at the same time of being able to walk through walls. He notes somewhere in the margins of a thought: a darkness in the bones. — Paul Auster

The inspiration behind the album was mainly Gilbert Williams's art, his transparently violet nature full of divine light and calmness. Apart from this, some source of inspiration also was Theosophical teachings and teachings of its masters.

The album illustrates a traveler, with long brown hair and beard, which with the touch of light become golden. His light grey eyes reflect the endless universe within. Wearing a golden tunic he travels between etheric worlds with his body of light, visiting different parts of the etheric plane. The Traveler meditates in the most beautiful gardens and forests of the plane, reaching its summits and connecting with gods and deities.

Saphileaum ~ Lotus Flower [SS26]

We’re bringing the music back in the venue. We miss vibing and grooving together. The circumstances are different but the mindset remains the same. During these times we can only dance in our imagination and we want to nourish exactly that creative state of mind while respecting the rules.

Second Black and White Session with  a quiet yet colourful travelling bird. SoulMate is able to fly from south to north, from west to east. A connoisseur of many music genres.

Uncanny Valley is a label from Dresden, Germany.
sub-labels: shtum Records & @credit00ratlife

visit our website for upcoming events:
https://uncannyvalley.de/dates

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.
