After PINK and RED comes ORANGE. Its the third out of seven records for the celebrations of the 50th Uncanny Valley release. And its tailor-made for pure dance floor delight.
Swedens Jor-El aka Joel Alter spells out house music on HUMAN MATRIX with great effect. You can’t resist being dragged along by a track that is well composed down to the last tiny little detail, but always comes across light and easy. Synth stabs for the masses. Uncanny Valley-Newcomer Karima F from Oslo delivers FLACCID HOUSE, a track that feels like the perfect way to make ravers resurrect. The track is based on few, but effectively used ingredients like a hammering broken beat and those odd vocal bits. Thus, it gets to the point without detours.
Being a scene-legend himself, Toronto’s Basic Soul Unit contributes GROTTO BOUNCE, a raw but precise nod to classic Detroit and Acid tunes. Finally, former Hamburger and now Berliner Christopher Rau is in full play mode and turns on all the equipment in the studio for PARADIJS, a wonky house track that gives you goose bumps even though he may be throwing you out of step.
REVIEW
Uncanny Valley has really pushed the boat out to mark their 50th release, with this multi-artist EP marking the third of seven colour-coded tie-in releases. There’s plenty of aural colour to be found throughout, from the jaunty, ear-pleasing synth riffs and densely layered drums of Jor-El’s delicious “Human Matrix”, to the off-kilter vintage Detroit techno revivalism of Basic Soul Unit’s heady “Grotto Bounce” and the drowsy post synth-pop electro warmth of Smallville regular Christopher Rau’s “Paradijs”. Arguably best of all, though, is Karima F’s amusingly titled “Flaccid House”, a sleazy, bass-heavy and bouncy affair that’s a lot tougher and weighty than its name suggests.
