Podcast – Uncanny Valley

Welcome to the world's latest annual review. Every January Philipp asks friends from the UV environment what their favorite song of the previous year was. The result is once again a super listenable mix and a tribute to the music itself. Of course, the artists also announce their favorite track themselves. Enjoy! @philipp-demankowski: Shoko Igarashi - Comfy Place @a-w-1: Little Simz feat. Cleo Sol - Woman @AcidAdams: Selofan - Auf Deiner Haut @JohannesAlbert: Schmutz - Love Games (Biesmans Remix) @Qnete: Subliminal - Bad Man @mando_m_over: Danny Goliger & Nikki Nair - I Like Millions @Herzel: Uabos - East Vision @Iron-Curtis: Atlantic Brain - Olivetti Dreams (Prins Thomas Edit) @resi-resom: Pj Bridger - Whitney Houston - Its Not Right But Its Ok (Pj Bridger Refix) @CVBox: Aquarian - Mutations II: Delicious Intent @zirqule: Birds ov Paradise - Dionysus @Scherbe: Ulla - For Your Love @Sneakerdj: Zodiak - The Final Voice @AlphonsineKoh: Arca - Fireprayer (Blood of Aza Remix) @Jacob-Stoy: Oxhy feat.

As always at Christmas, Philipp gives you 90 minutes of contemplation with the annual Ambient Special. A lot has happened again this year in the land of wallpaper music, with Ambient taking another decisive step towards dominating pop music with new sounds and exciting artists. A development that will probably continue next year, apparently also because people are in good need of all forms of escape from reality right now. If you feel this too, be sure to check out part one to seven. And by the way, the cover is an impression of the beautiful Coyote Buttes in Arizona. Merry Ambient Christmas everyone!

With a high profile Yacht Rock documentary coming up, it's about time for UV Radio to do an update on the super smooth bit also whitest genre alive. Gunnar and Philipp have met up in the studio for the sixth time to play new and old soft rock treasures beyond the canon. Out came a fun but little messy show with a bunch of heartwarming music.

The new UV Radio show is packed with songs with kids on the mic. It's as simple as that. Good for when you need a shot of joie de vivre again. Philipp has put together songs from Francis The Great, the seven year old Afrobeat-wunderkid, via the Disco masterpiece “On a Day Like Today” from Auguste Darnell with those wonderful kid choruses to “Le Petit Chevalier”, the somehow tragic song sung by Nico's son Ari.

The new UV Radio show uncovers once more the sound of a city that almost got lost under the many layers of street noise and residents' babble. After Philipp presented Dresden's unsung heroes in 2021, it's now done by none other than @rvds, who digs up electronic gems from his longtime hometown of Hamburg, including many of his friends or acquaintances. Of course Hamburg has a rich heritage of electronic music anyway. But in this show there is a lot to be discovered apart from the obvious names. Great tracks between experimental and house music, maybe the two constants in Hamburg's electronic music scene. On top, lots of Hamburg humor. Enjoy it. 1.

As always in January, UV Radio host Philipp Demankowski looks back and asks DJ friends and producers from the Uncanny Valley family for their favourite track of the last year. All participants have recorded a short intro for this. It's always a lot of fun listening to the contributions. So here is the selection, from hard hitting rave bangers to super sweet pop songs. with @philipp-demankowski, @scherbe, Jules Etienne, @herzel. @sandrow_m, @anna-adams-dd, @sojus1, @iron-curtis, @conrad-kaden, @credit00ratlife, Demian (@atnaofficial), @crlinecool, @pandalassow, @qnete, @lindosxp, @a-w-1, @anna-lucia-rupp, @gotterkreis, @cvbox, @carlsuspect, @gunnar-b-uchler, @coline and @daniela-la-luz Full Tracklist: bit.ly/uv_radio_best_of_2021 Soundcloud: bit.ly/uncanny_valley_radio_soundcloud iTunes: bit.ly/uvpod_itunes

In these unstable times, @philipp-demankowski declares a chill command and presents the annual ambient mix just before the holidays. 2021 didn't disappoint in this regard and brought us some really great wallpaper sounds. Although even a few beats have sneaked in this time, on the whole the mix is again a guide to getting down with ease. If you feel this, be sure to check out part one, two, three, four, five and six. And by the way, the picture is from the welcoming Chocolate Hills. So, Merry Ambient Christmas everyone!

This show is dedicated to the pioneering women of electronic music featured in the highly recommended documentary SISTERS WITH TRANSISTORS. The doc tells the stories of "women composers who embraced machines and their liberating technologies to completely change the way we produce and listen to music today." If you haven't had a chance yet, you should check out the film. Philipp not only screened it at this year's DAVE festival at the much-loved Thalia cinema, he also played a track by each of the film's protagonists on his radio show, and shared a few things about them in his rather scrappy English.

@dj-kiti from Melbourne, Australia is up next Tracklist: https://uncannyvalley.de/articles/dj-kiti-8008

@phasepattern's contribution to our podcast series is called "London is a Country" and can be listened to as a bass heavy reflection on his 20 years long stay in the city which ended this year with his return to Germany. The title phrase is taken from a tune by Luke Vibert and refers to the city's broad variety of cultures that came with immigrants from all over the world. One fine example that left traces in the recording is the "Windrush Generation" (people that immigrated from the Caribbean countries between 1948 and 1973) as portrayed in the anthology film series Small Axe by Steve McQueen. This is for all lovers and rockers! iTunes: bit.ly/uvpod_itunes Soundcloud: bit.ly/uvpod_sc Website: www.uncannyvalley.de

Even if the organizations behind it sometimes make professional football unbearable, the fun of the game is still there for @philipp-demankowski. Having already done a special for Uncanny Valley Radio on the occasion of the last World Cup, he invited UV Radio regular guests @conrad-kaden and Gunnar to record a new special for EURO 2020, which for well-known reasons took place in 2021. The rules: Everyone gets eight countries from the field of participants and has to pick a nice song from each country. The result is a fun show with 24 not so typical football anthems.

@philipp-demankowski: “It might be a bit exaggerated to state that Dresden was once called "Little Detroit from The East". But there is no question that deep and dirty electronic music has been produced and performed here in numerous dilapidated buildings since the fall of the Wall. Many exciting, often all-too-unknown artists have made sure of that, some of whom are still active today. Both the club culture infrastructure and today's generation of artists in Dresden benefit from this. So it's time for a little special to pay tribute to these unsung heroes. Anyhow, I picked a few of my faves from that place that is our hometown for the new show. Sorry for missing out some of you great artists. There will be a part 2, I'm sure.” Full Tracklist: bit.ly/uv_radio_dd_underground Soundcloud: bit.ly/uncanny_valley_radio_soundcloud iTunes: bit.ly/uvpod_itunes

You don't have to know what Nintendonitis is to enjoy the music that soundtracks the latest indie video games. There is a lot of creativity going on in these circles, where music and programming often happen hand in hand. Hell, the games are sometimes even created by the same person that is responsible for the music. For this show, @philipp-demankowski has collected his favourite soundtracks of indie games, which are actually all worth trying out. So, don't expect great epic AAA orchestral music, but rather synth heavy neon tunes, percussive Vaporwave excursions and gloomy Ambient elegies.

Baltic Power for the new UV Funk show. Being one of the most dedicated music lovers in Dresden @lksczk from the @zeptermusik Crew delights us with an acoustic tour through Latvia. Be prepared for new favorites like NSRD, an avantgarde New Wave outfit that was formed in 1982. The group's activities included not only music but also performances video installations, photography and video art. Or the fellow band Gadi Pirms Sākuma, that created a very unique version of Coldwave and Neue Musik. Both Bands were part of Riga's DIY scene of the 1980s and 1990s, often borrowing gear from colleagues for their recordings. There's a lot to discover here. For advanced listening hop over to Zepter's Youtube channel where some of the records are uploaded. Soundcloud: bit.ly/uv_funk_soundcloud iTunes: bit.ly/uvpod_itunes

When you live in Dresden, you somehow have a close relationship with the Czech Republic. The border is close and each of us has often been to Bohemian Switzerland to hike or to celebrate in Prague. Unfortunately, lesser known are the musicians from the former Czechoslovakia, who made the time of the Cold War a little more pleasant. Philipp has therefore commissioned an absolute expert on the music from both the Czech Republic and Slovakia to create a mix for us and to answer some questions about the respective music scenes. So here's @jakubsenkyrik from Brno's finest @primamusica and his take on the music from Czechoslovakia.

Not only since Vaporwave or the revived interest in Japanese Ambient and New Age experiments people know about the greatness of some anime soundtracks apart from the usual heavy metal and happy pop intros. Masterpieces like Akira or the Ghost in The Shell are beyond all doubt milestones in both film and pop music history. In addition, composers such as Joe Hisashi have made a significant contribution with their so-called image albums to emphasizing the atmosphere and character personalities in the films. UV Funk host @philipp-demankowski has picked out some anime soundtrack treasures and a few additional tunes that are at least inspired by those films and put together a mix for the show. Tracklist Kenji Kawai – M01 I - Making of Cyborg [Ghost In The Shell] Takeshi Abo – Explanation [The Steins;Gate] Yasunori Mitsuda - Secret of the Forest [Chrono Trigger] Equip – Synthetic Core 88 Awakens (Cybernetic Jungle), DMX Krew – Shell Game Geinoh Yamashirogumi – Kaneda [Akira] Joe Hisaishi – The Path of Wind (Instrumental) [My Neighbor Totoro] Kenji Kawai – M01 III - Reincarnation [Ghost In The Shell] Joe Hisaishi – Kanou Sayoko - 叶小夜子 [Kisshō Tennyo] Megalonsingers – I-Zenborg [Dinosaur War Izenborg] Hiromasa Suzuki - Triton of the Sea [Triton of the Sea] The Mystery Kindaichi Band - Yatsuhakamura (Eight Village Grave) Masahiko Sato - The notice is noticed [Belladonna Of Sadess] Kassin – Shampoo [Michiko To Hatchin] Seatbelts – Space Lion [Cowboy Bebop] Mica Levi – Delete Beach (Japanese) [Delete Beach] Soundcloud: bit.ly/uv_funk_soundcloud iTunes: bit.ly/uvpod_itunes

This UV Funk radio show is dedicated to the long forgotten but recently rediscovered sound of the French West Indies that has been written down in Pop history by the name of Zouk. It was artists like the scene's stars Kassav' and Francky Vincent from Guadeloupe or little known Claude Robap from Martinique that formed a music that is heavily influenced by disco, calypso, funk, latin music, afro or highlife. It's a super positive music that made public and party life better not only on the islands but also via immigrants in France. Thanks to the Parisian label Heavenly Sweetness with their “Digital Zandoli”-compilations and some fresh reissues chances are high that you can listen to Zouk-tracks on open minded dancefloors today. Here's UV Funk host @philipp-demankowski delivering a mix with his favorite Zouk tunes. Enjoy!

May we introduce: @funkfrnk is one of Dresden's most meticulous music lovers. He's the kind of guy who can be super angry when realizing that one of his records lands up in the wrong record sleeve. Apart from that he's the nicest guy to have a conversation with. And since he has so much knowledge about the most obscure white labels out there, it is also a lot of fun to listen to music with him. That's why Philipp couldn't be more happy when Franc approached him to do an UV Funk special about those unsung heroes from Manchester, Bristol or London, whose music would later be summarized as UK Street Soul. It's music from the late 1980s to the late 1990s, made with cheap drum machines and sweet voices, and also with heavy influences from Reggae, Soul, Funk and even Electro. So, please enjoy Franc playing his Street Soul records. Tracklist 1. Caron Wheeler – Livin‘ in the Night (Sensual Mix) 2. Always + Forever – Back in the Days (East Mix) 3. Capricorn – Hold My Hand 4.
