Review: To celebrate notching up 50 releases, Uncanny Valley offered up a septet of colour-coded EPs featuring never-heard-before cuts from its growing roster of artists. With that campaign finished, they've now collected together all of those tracks on one suitably epic compilation, All Colors Are Beautiful. It's a pleasingly positive, life-affirming and kaleidoscopic collection all told, with the likes of Lauer, Jules Etienne, Johannes Albert, Cuthead and Basic Soul Unit taking it in turns to deliver cheery, synth-heavy cuts that variously join the dots between deep house, nu-disco, synth-pop, proto-house, jacking acid, crunchy electro, Motor City techno, ghetto-tech and glassy-eyed late-night sleaze. The results are uniformly excellent, making this one of the most essential compilations of 2020.

Review: As the pleasingly matter-or-fact title makes clear, this compilation gathers together 15 of the standout tracks released by Dresden label Uncanny Valley in 2019. As you'd expect, it offers a tastily off-kilter collection of cuts that variously mix and match elements of deep house, cheery nu-disco, dub disco, acid-fired early morning anthems, saucer-eyed hardcore rave revivalism, superior tech-house and throbbing electro-disco, with the contributions from Credit OO, Jules Etienne, Perel, The Golden Filter, Jor-El and Break SL standing out. That said, all 15 tracks are superb and firmly focused on the dancefloor. In a word: essential.

Review: An enjoyable class of associated names and potential aliases make their way to the Dresden labels wholesome 50th release and brings with it a first sign of music from Break SL since 2014! Known for releases on Philpot before his time at UV, he delivers an uplifting number of pulsating arpeggios and ballroom synths. Credit 00 is on point as always throwing down a Detroit inspired number of laser synths, starry atmospheres and subby, acidic basslines. Qnete, still reeling from his 2018 LP on 777 Recordings, supplies a tripier, deep and subtle house number via "In Transit" while the still unknown Gnista and AGB serve up some traditional Deutsch EBM and dark electro between them both.

Review: There's something pleasingly calming about this EP from Philpot regular turned Uncanny Valley contributor Sebastian Lohse. While the EP's most impressive moment is arguably the sparse but deliciously melodic "Malstroem" - think starburst electronics, woozy chords and tactile analogue grooves - for the most part Atlantic Ocean is a warm and immersive affair. There's something suitably glassy-eyed about the near Balearic chords and breezy melodies of "Atlantic Ocean Road", while "FM For Life" pairs jaunty, Detroit-influenced bass and rolling rhythms with picturesque melodies. As for the guitar-flecked "Trocadero", you'd be hard-pressed to find a more beautiful deep house track this year.

Review: Having previously impressed with a string of "jam house" 12"s on Philpot, Stuttgart producer Sebastian Lohse pops up on the ever-reliable Uncanny Valley with his first EP since 2009. It's a fascinating listen, offering a skewed take on house that's hard to accurately define. The epic "Desert Flight" is a fidgety, maudlin vision, all uncomfortable Chicago house rhythms, woozy atmospherics, odd bleeps and curious vocal samples. It's rather good, even if it does sound like house music beamed down from another dimension. "Amorphed Limits" sounds like early Orbital or Meat Beat Manifesto making jazz-influenced deep house, while "Beercase Song" is as loose and organic a concoction as you're likely to find on a house 12" - all simple organs, snappy jazz percussion and unlikely vocal samples.
