catalogue number ten at uncanny valley and for this occasion the dresden based label returns to its roots with another various artists ep. actually, this is long overdue since there are a lot more talented producers to find in the elbe valley. on uncanny valley 010 we present four of them. sandrow m who focussed on the c-beams project recently has been part of the label right from the start. with “the three trees” he makes his solo debut for uncanny valley. the track is a summery house tune that shines with garage vocals and warm synth pads. steve kasper is slowing it down with unvexed dub which is an immersed house excursion for the morning hours. on the flipside scherbes kill bills stumbles but does not fall. instead, the track lives from tottering interaction between bright percussions and fractious drones below. finally, its jacob stoy who closes the record with s51, a dreamy deep house study including heavenly pads and subtle drum programming. for the artwork we are very glad to welcome back paul waak and his colourful figures that gave the first four compilations their unique look!

aleph04 comes with three special reinterpretations of the labels first three eps. mano le tough is first in line. his remix of > flowers on fire< from aleph01 takes the originals colorful and spaced out vibes and puts them into a little more dancefloor friendly context, with a big 808 booming away and the swirls of the original synthline driving the track forward. mano has been a big supporter of the label right from the start and his releases on permanent vacation, buzzin fly or internasjonal have been turning heads quite a lot, so its an honour to have him on board. the second remix is by wasted gaze. this newcomer from vilnius / lithuania delivers an amazing version of >port hope< , taken from aleph02. a powerful, 2step / garage inspired beat sets the pace, while glowing pads, a super deep bass and enigmatic vocals take care of the rest. watch this guy, his untitled states ep on partyzanai is one of the most intersting and exciting records in a long time. the last track is a remix by aera aka m50 from chicago, who, quite fittingly, took care of this spaced out take on whats my name again? from aleph03. this one is for the heads, a special gem that will work magic in the early morning hours

manmakemusic continue their adventure into the musical hinterland beyond bass, techno, house and garage with two cuts from new signing, trikk. hailing from porto, portugal, and a recent addition to londons kaleidoscopic music scene, trikk effortlessly marries old school charm with new school edge. a-side, ‘jointly’, takes robert hood-esque jackin’ techno drums and unites them with twisted garage vocal chops and relentless bass. on the flip, ‘i fall down’ takes things down a gear with an emotive mix of cavernous synth lines, heartbroken vocals and skipping drums which harks back to the finest moments of broken beat.

striking out in june 2011 with his debut ep >in your gut like a knife< - a neat summary of his electronic excursions at that point - the beautifully artworked 12 inch acted as a portal into a world of daydreams, tumbling into shadows and embracing luminescence simultaneously. breeding surreal headphone-friendly landscapes, he struck a peculiar and delicate balance between otherworldly and familiarity, at times sneaking a sly glance towards the dancefloor but mostly conjuring a sense of longing and rye melancholy. ticking with a distinctive bounce and rhythm, it comes as no surprise that gang colours was raised on the bump and grind of uk garage. taking a step back from chopped n screwed rnb vocals and the swing of ukg, >the keychain collection< explores more sombre recesses within gang colours palette. the scattered technicolor synth melodies that characterised his ep are present, but softer, cosier even, weaving betwixt and between forthright piano chords and wills own vocals. >the keychain collection< eloquently captures gang colours first steps on a long road.

kowton and tom dicicco, residing in bristol and manchester respectively, make very different music from one another. kowtons seems to come from house, perhaps also electro and garage, often quite slow in tempo and hard to pin down to a specific genre. toms music is techno, bass heavy, melodic, textured and rooted around 125 bpm. with these distinctive styles the idea of a split ep might seem ambitious, but the result is four cohesive but different tracks that show the talents of both artists perfectly in the format of two originals on one side and two remixes of each others originals on the other. tom diciccos original is driven by a low-mid range thick stab and pounding kick drum, littered with intricate but not overbearing hi hat and snare work and some very atmospheric mid range. kowtons is subtle and sparse, low fidelity and plodding, with rattling percusion carrying the tune along. on the other side of the record, kowtons remix of toms original is driven by an enormous bassline, with an off kilter dubby feel to the slow tempo and genre defying tune. toms remix of kowton rounds off the ep with a return to stab driven techno, pulsating, dynamic and trance inducing.

the finding is the latest single from the cbs, other wise known as the world famous cuban brothers. this is their second single (misdemeanor jcity 001) to come off their eagerly awaited debuted artist album which is due out next year. the original is a funk filled odyssey which puts a smile on the face and causes the foot to tap of any listener! also on this package we are lucky enough to have two remixes. first up is the killer garage rub from the remix king doorly, backed up by another dance floor smasher from featurecast. this is a package and a half!
