DJ-JAHRESCHARTS Die 20 besten Tracks 2011 Eines kann man wirklich nicht behaupten: dass 2011 kein ergiebiges Jahr mit vielen charismatischen Hits und einer neuen Produzentengeneration war, die die Dancefloors weltweit erschüttert hat.

VA – If This Is House I Want My Money Back Vol 2, EP 1 review on Juno

If we were to judge the forthcoming If This Is House I Want My Money Back Zwei compilation on the basis of the four tracks on this sampler, then it’s likely that the twelve track set due out on Permanent Vacation will rank highly amongst our favourites of 2011. Set for release...

JACOB KORN - Uncanny Hero Vom Tal der Ahnungslosen zum Tal der zeitlosen Deepness – Dresden mausert sich mehr und mehr zur festen Säule des House-Resonanzraums zwischen Berlin, Jena und Leipzig.

Review of "She" EP on Juno

Review of “She” EP on Juno

Hype is a funny thing. Sometimes an artist can go from unheralded underground producer to much-discussed dancefloor hero in the blink of an eye. That’s what’s happened to Jacob Korn. Less than a month ago, the Uncanny Valley man was being described by deep house nerds as one to watch;...

Resident Advisor Label of the month: Uncanny Valley

The new house (and techno and acid and downtempo and more) sound from Dresden. In the internet age information comes thick and fast. You simply can’t keep up, and you can’t rightfully claim ignorance. It’s right there in front of you as long as you’re willing to look. It wasn’t...

“Uncanny Valley” Portrait in Groove 130

Uncanny Valley – Charakter zeigen, hängen bleiben. Während Dresden lange Zeit von seinem Ruf als ostdeutsche Techno-Hochburg zehren musste, sorgt derzeit eine ganze Reihe junger Produzenten wieder für frischen Wind im Elbtal. Das Label Uncanny Valley zeigt, dass die sächsische Landeshauptstadt neben mittlerweile etablierten Künstlern wie Jacob Korn oder Break...

RA winds up its year-end polls with the staff’s take on the top tunes of the year. One thing you probably didn’t see coming in 2010: the glorious return of the anthem. Unlike last year, when ultra-subtle tracks like STL’s “Silent State” made the top 5, 2010′s top 50 is packed...

dresdens furtherance award 2012

 We already told you: this guy Jacob Korn is a talented fella! The Dresden-hailing producer was responsible for one of 2011′s most irresistible techno tracks, and thevideo that came alongside his single ‘She’ left us rather impressed. And it seems as if the Uncanny Valley collective member won’t slow down in the new year: his hometown, the city of Dresden,...

We close proceedings on a successful first year for our podcast series with a mix of fine house music from one of our favourite exponents in the art: Jacob Korn.

It was during last year’s Nachtdigital Festival near Olganitz when I was introduced to Uncanny Valley. The label and artist network from Dresden hosted a little floor next to the water and their selection of deep house records fitted perfectly with the sunny weather during the afternoon. Much has happened since then: not only did Uncanny Valley release five...

Gerd & Elbee Bad, H.O.U.S.E. with JK-Remix review on LWE

The clichés that exist in dance music are almost as well worn as the ears and bodies that have been moving to its rhythms for over 30 years. There was a time when hearing Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech laced over a 4/4 beat seemed fresh, or when an Apache break used...

Zwölf Zehner Juni 2011 Jacob Korn ist Schirmherr des Aufschwung-Ost-Projekts Uncanny Valley und endlich unbescheiden genug sich eine Solo-EP auf dem Label und Kollektiv zu gönnen, das in der Warteschleife vor der Panoramabar (Gast: Moodymann) gegründet wurde. She ist ein äußerst episch angelegtes Techno-Stück, das in der Progression manchmal an Santiago Salazar erinnert und wieder...

[Uncanny Valley] (buy vinyl) (buy mp3s) Dresden’s Uncanny Valley label debuted in the second half of 2010 with the first in an ongoing series ofcompilation EPs. These records cull from a considerable roster, and largely define the label as a haven for new talent. In spite of this, Uncanny Valley’s first solo release comes from...

Detroit has had plenty of unofficial sister cities over the years: back in the ‘90s, Detroit and Berlin famously fused a “techno alliance,” as the title of an early Tresor compilation put it, and in more recent years, Amsterdam has kept flying the flag for Motor City soul. Still, Jacob Korn’s recent track “Dance Away”...
