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,...

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 later this month, the second...
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...

Review of “She EP” on LWE
[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...
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; now, he’s widely regarded as...
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 always this way of course....
Little White Earbuds Podcast 79: Jacob Korn
Here is a podcast and an interview for “Little White Earbuds” Ever since Jacob Korn’s scorching debut on Running Back, where his “I Like The Sun (But Not On LCD’s)” burned his name into minds like the aforementioned celestial sphere into retinas, he’s steadily been adding to his impressive discography, notching up releases for Permanent...
Labels to Watch 2011: Uncanny Valley (Beatportal/Beatport)
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”...
uncanny-valley-002 review on “littlewhiteearbuds.com”
[Uncanny Valley] (buy vinyl) (buy mp3s) In the argot of robotics, the “uncanny valley” is the point at which an object meant to appear human becomes unsettling to an actual human. I believe music encounters its own uncanny valleys — the points at which a song sounds too reminiscent of that which came before it and...
