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, is now honoring his efforts with its furtherance award 2012.

The award includes prize money of 5,000 Euros and will be awarded on March 17th at Festspielhaus Hellerau. Since 1993, the prize honors the artistic works of people or groups that focus on the city of Dresden as their primary workbase. Jacob Korn, who studied media technology, stated: “I am delighted to receive this year’s furtherance award. I feel that this is a signal for Dresden’s cultural policy, with the prize not being awarded to the established arts (in 2012), but to a new art form.” The jury honored Korn as an “exposed representative of a cultural scene which improved its image during the last years and is giving utterance to a young generation’s cultural life.”

Jacob Korn will be showing his talents during the next weeks with a bunch of dj and live sets, catch up with him and the whole Uncanny Valley crew at one of the dates below. Learn more about the label itself by watching our recent Slices feature or listening to One Day In Metropia‘s live set for Electronic Beats Radio.

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. Großer gemeinsamer Nenner bei den Leser- und DJ-Charts war das Comeback von Stimmspuren in den unterschiedlichsten Tonlagen. Die menschliche Stimme wurde nicht mehr nur in zerhackter oder anders verfremdeter Form akzeptiert, sondern auch wieder ganz klassisch, als Gesang: Âmes Remix von Osunlades „Envision“, Steffis „Yours“ zusammen mit Virginia und vor allem der omnipräsente Seelenstreichler „Limit To Your Love“ von James Blake seien hier genannt. Für einen Paradigmenwechsel haben auch die ganzen von R’n’B, Soul und Funk beeinflussten Vocaltracks aus dem Camp Hot Creations/Visionquest/Crosstown Rebels gesorgt. Für 2012 darf man gespannt sein, ob diese extrem produktive Szene dem Hype gerecht wird.

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.

Perhaps the most lauded artist from the Dresden collective Uncanny Valley, it’s fair to say Jacob has enjoyed a superlative 2011, adding further to a widespread reputation for satisfyingly detailed and musically complex approach to deep house. This reputation was of course established with some finely judged releases across labels such as Dolly, Running Back and of course Uncanny Valley.

After playing an intergral role in the rapid rise of the strictly Dresden centric Uncanny Valley operation with key contributions to their distinctively presented self titled various artist EPs, Korn was the natural choice to signal a change in the label’s remit with the first in a series of solo artist EPs. Entitled She, the EP was the perfect way for the label to debut a new direction pairing two original productions from Korn with some finely judged remixes from John Talabot and Iron Curtis.

Alongside this, Korn has delivered fin contributions to labels such as Skylax and Permanent Vacation, gracing the latter alongside fellow Uncanny Valley cohort with “Ooohja” one of the finest tracks on the Munich label’s compilation If This Is House I Want My Money Back Zwei. Add to this a smattering of excellent remixes for the likes of Gerd and Mod Civil and it’s apparent why Korn is regarded as one of the brightest talents on the European deep house circuit.

Nachdem der erste Teil von I f  T h i s  I s  H o u s e… erschienen war, waren sich Kritiker und andere Multiplikatoren einig: tolle Sache, am Puls der Zeit produzierte Musik ohne von Distinktion getriebene, selbstauferlegte Genrebeschränkungen, geschmackssicher zusammengestellt. Das alles gilt auch für Teil zwei ausgehen, denn schon der erste Blick auf die Tracklist lässt den Musikliebhaber aufhorchen: Slow Hands, Jacob Korn (zusammen mit Uncanny Valleys Cuthead), John Talabot und sogar eine Kooperation von Trickski mit Soul Clap finden sich hier. Dabei ist das Konzept denkbar puristisch: Man schaut sich ein wenig in der Housewelt um, listet seine Lieblingsproduzenten auf und fragt mal eben nach einem exklusiven Track. Dass sich die meisten der Angesprochenen nicht lange bitten ließen, spricht ebenso für Permanent Vacation wie für die Angefragten. Um es kurz zu machen: Der Nachfolger kann mit seinem Vorgänger locker mithalten, die weltweite Renaissance von Housemusic hat ihren Zenit noch nicht erreicht.  Text: Timon Engelhardt

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 records and play many gigs across Germany and Europe – but they also managed to showcase Dresden’s vast number of talented artists making techno, house and electronic music.

Their latest release comes from Jacob Korn, who release this year’s club and open-air cracker ‘She’ as Uncanny Valley’s number #5. Now ‘She’ has just received a beautiful music video with colour drops falling into water alongside the track’s signature marimba and it’s Detroit referencing piano melody. The video was filmed and digitally altered by visual agencies Refect and Mokost.

Also don’t forget to listen to the full ‘She’ EP by Jacob Korn below, get your hands on the latest issue of Slices DVD Magazine featuring Uncanny Valley, and look out for our EB Radio mix coming from them very soon.

Elbee Bad H.O.U.S.E. (inkl. Jacob Korn, Neville Watson, Arttu Mixes)

Nicht auf dem neuen Vinyl befindet sich leider das Original von 1994. Nachdem Gerd den vor authentischer, europäischer Begeisterung für die neue amerikanische Musik berstenden Track anlässlich einer Tournee von Elbee Bad in Benelux aufgenommen hatte, verschwand das Stück als Whitelabel in der Versenkung und taucht bis heute in keinem Katalog auf. Sein neuer „Ruff Dub“ verkompliziert das Material bewusst durch synkopische Drums, die die 808-Bassline immer wieder verschleppen, markiert eine historische Distanz. Die Predigt von Elbee Bad wird reduziert auf die Kernaussage: „House…“ Der derbe Remix von Jacob Korn holt sie zurück, man kann sich seine Lektion aufs Neue erteilen lassen: „Most clubbers do not know House and Techno roots. Therefore they do not understand the truth in authentic sound.“ Die Aktualisierungen von Neville Watson und Arttu haben dem wenig hinzuzufügen.
