scherbe is back on uncanny valley with his second full length ep. after his recent contribution to the uv20-compilation and a record on fourth wave he returns with the aptly titled >late nite safari< and shows off again his knack for rumbling beats and fuzzy synths

london underground sound meets south german dopehouse science - shuffling grooves, deep chords and the little extra spice of bigbait flavour – that’s the stoney clouds ep. on this groundbreaking 4-tracker we introduce london- based producer chocky, supported by big bait stalwarts de:pot and scherbe.

uncanny valley introduces the next artist from the uv010 compilation with his solo debut. this time its scherbe and his jardin du midi-ep!

in september 2012 we initiate the 2012/2013 big-bait-black-label-vinyl series with a tremendous solo-ep from scherbe, who recently got a lot of attention for his releases on uncanny valley and reh incarnation.

this is a tape! all good stories need a context. named after the multitalented artist who used to operate at the bauhaus in dessau, »marianne brandt« is the omnidirectional long length debut of alex ketzer, the respected designer behind noorden’s artworks as well as a talented musician on the rise. ketzer recorded in a room at the dessau structure for a few days, meticulously crafting a piece that sounds like a conversation between history and future, audio and visual, bridging the gap over a century of creation in one of the epicentres of the highest form of artistic production in europe. and now inviting electronic music to its table.

parts 3 of the amazing celebrate release on 12 inch... part 3 starts with a bang and -in der weltraumdiskothek- by mysterious dresden based producer dc production. if youve ever wondered what music would be played at the night club of the ewoks this tune might be the answer. -nuthin wrong here- is scherbe to the bone with his stumbling beats, dirty synths and heartbreaking samples. we also have a big heart for disco here at the valley and this is proven by sandrow m & k_chico who put a smile on our face with catchy guitar licks, bouncy bass lines and cheesy vocals. -space dancer-, what more could you desire? finally, filburt from leipzig brings things down to a peaceful end with his slightly melancholic -my time-.

everybody likes doumen, but also everybody says >oh no ... i love doumen, but its hard to play their records in my dj sets or to have a party with them...<
so this is why we founded van doumen. it is a rework sublabel, completely based on original doumen material, following the idea of tracks that work in dj sets, but still have the doumen spirit. the first record was done by scherbe (uncanny valley, big bait, ..), philipp matalla (kann records, internasjonal spesial, ..), webermichelson (holger) and potensia (modern soul, ..). the first two tracks are superb club smashers, followed by an angry caricature monster of techno and finally potensia walks you home in the most intimate and beautiful way possible. to be honest, we say this record as a first step of van doumen is a classic already.

leipzig turns up the filter once again: time for a new vinyl-only release on or*s. three tracks literally made for the nocturnal goings-on on the local dancefloors.
limited edition of 300 numbered copies on white vinyl, rounded off with one out of three artist offset prints by nora heinisch, felix schneeweiß, and florian seidel.

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!

gefahr! – the funky twins from citizen funk came for a visit to celebrate with us the third and final installment of our successful white-labelled 12-inch series!
with their first full ep on big bait records, citizen funk aka peter clamat and scherbe are serving two fresh, different and by any means necessary interpretations of contemporary deep house music.

all good stories need a context. named after the multitalented artist who used to operate at the bauhaus in dessau, Èmarianne brandtÇ is the omnidirectional long length debut of alex ketzer, the respected designer behind noordenÕs artworks as well as a talented musician on the rise. ketzer recorded in a room at the dessau structure for a few days, meticulously crafting a piece that sounds like a conversation between history and future, audio and visual, bridging the gap over a century of creation in one of the epicentres of the highest form of artistic production in europe. and now inviting electronic music to its table.

its time to celebrate! at catalogue number 20 uncanny valley extends its compilation-concept to 12 tracks spread over three records (or as a bundle if you prefer digital). the tracks will also be released as a cd compilation. with new music by label-regulars like jacob korn, cuthead and credit 00, friends like rvds & kalexi or filburt and fresh talents like goetterkreis & steve kasper it is an exciting ride along the winding roads through the uncanny valley. the three records are visually linked with distinctive artwork by the ever-reliable paul waak.
