Jacob Korn – SHE || Uncanny Valley 005 Vinyl, 12″, EP, 33 ⅓ RPM Country: Germany Released: 08 Jun 2011 UV005 / Jacob Korn – She EP by Jacob Korn Reviews: Dresden’s Uncanny Valley label debuted in the second half of 2010 with the first in an ongoing series of compilation 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 label staple Jacob Korn, a reasonably established artist. Unsurprisingly,…read more

Mod.Civil – somebody to love (Jacob Korn rmx) Rotary Cocktail 27 (2011) 12″ Vinyl EP Releasedate: 17.01.2011 Review: Mod Civil überraschen auch diesmal wieder. Mit dicker Bassdrum und etwas sperriger im Sound, schichtet sich “Somebody to love” immer weiter auf. Wäre er nicht so deep und wären die Wirbel lauter im Vordergrund, könnte es ein Technomonster sein. So aber bleibt es ein richtig guter und interessanter Housetrack, bei dem sich Schema-F-Freunde erstmal umschauen werden. Zur klassischen Dancefloor-Keule entwickelt sich der Track im Remix von Jacob Korn. Einfach, gerade, direkt. Wie…read more

Jacob Korn & Kelli Hand – Dance Away || Uncanny Valley 002 Vinyl, 12″, 33 ⅓ RPM Country: Germany Released: Dec 2010 UV002 / Various Artists by Uncanny Valley Review: With Uncanny Valley’s second release, the label’s name makes perfect sense: this crew of musicians from the Dresden Elbe Valley has a truly uncanny knack for the particulars of American house. You could figure that much out even without Kelli Hand’s guest vocal on Jacob Korn’s „Dance Away,“ in which the veteran Detroit producer and DJ sends shout-outs to „Dresden…read more

Jacob Korn – Slamduck || Uncanny Valley 001 (2010) Vinyl, 12″, 33 ⅓ RPM Country: Germany Released: 06 Sep 2010 UV001 / Various Artists by Uncanny Valley Review: The first release from Dresden’s Uncanny Valley label is a showcase of four local talents of varying renown—Break SL and Jacob Korn are the best known, Cuthead and Thomas Frohlich less so—who all bring their own take on moody, downbeat house. With all four cuts running between 110 and 120 BPM, heavy on acoustic samples and classic drum machines, it’s a familiar…read more

Jacob Korn – Sundaysun EP || Dolly 003 (2010) Vinyl, 12″, 33 ⅓ RPM, White Label, Stamped Country: Germany Released: 2010 Review: I must admit I didn’t really get Jacob Korn at first. His debut 12-inch on Running Back, for instance, bore grizzly beats and melodies that seemed haphazardly slapdash given their prominence. What I failed to realise at the time was that Korn was peddling music from a new scale that brought with it a new kind of funk. His palette of tunes and timbre is markedly his own…read more

Jacob Korn – Supakrank EP || Dolly 001 (2010) (12″ Vinyl only EP) – get it here! Reviews: Steffi has unveiled her new label, Dolly, seemingly at the exact right time. Deep house is all the rage again, people are in love with limited edition vinyl and when you throw the words “Panorama Bar” on the one-sheet, it’s almost a buy-on-sight situation. Dresden resident Jacob Korn, whose tracks are regularly played by the Panorama Bar residents, especially Steffi and Tama Sumo, was a perfect fit for the upstart imprint—his infectious, druggy-morning…read more
