Not only is he one of the nicest people in Alt-Stralau, he also has the best taste in music beyond the blue lagoon. In addition to lawnmower symphonies and ambient cacophonies, Fabian has also acquired a veritable collection of Hawaiian music. Reason enough for Philipp to invite his good friend for the long awaited comeback of Uncanny Valley Radio to offer us a handpicked selection of traditional...

Welcome to the world's latest annual review. Every January Philipp asks friends from the UV environment what their favorite song of the previous year was. The result is once again a super listenable mix and a tribute to the music itself. Of course, the artists also announce their favorite track themselves. Enjoy! @philipp-demankowski: Shoko Igarashi - Comfy Place @a-w-1: Little Simz feat. Cleo Sol...

As always at Christmas, Philipp gives you 90 minutes of contemplation with the annual Ambient Special. A lot has happened again this year in the land of wallpaper music, with Ambient taking another decisive step towards dominating pop music with new sounds and exciting artists. A development that will probably continue next year, apparently also because people are in good need of all forms of esca...

With a high profile Yacht Rock documentary coming up, it's about time for UV Radio to do an update on the super smooth bit also whitest genre alive. Gunnar and Philipp have met up in the studio for the sixth time to play new and old soft rock treasures beyond the canon. Out came a fun but little messy show with a bunch of heartwarming music. Cast off, sailors! Imagination - Morning Lights Ron Elir...

The new UV Radio show is packed with songs with kids on the mic. It's as simple as that. Good for when you need a shot of joie de vivre again. Philipp has put together songs from Francis The Great, the seven year old Afrobeat-wunderkid, via the Disco masterpiece “On a Day Like Today” from Auguste Darnell with those wonderful kid choruses to “Le Petit Chevalier”, the somehow tragic song sung by Nic...

The new UV Radio show uncovers once more the sound of a city that almost got lost under the many layers of street noise and residents' babble. After Philipp presented Dresden's unsung heroes in 2021, it's now done by none other than @rvds, who digs up electronic gems from his longtime hometown of Hamburg, including many of his friends or acquaintances. Of course Hamburg has a rich heritage of elec...

In these unstable times, @philipp-demankowski declares a chill command and presents the annual ambient mix just before the holidays. 2021 didn’t disappoint in this regard and brought us some really great wallpaper sounds.

@phasepattern's contribution to our podcast series is called "London is a Country" and can be listened to as a bass heavy reflection on his 20 years long stay in the city which ended this year with his return to Germany. The title phrase is taken from a tune by Luke Vibert and refers to the city's broad variety of cultures that came with immigrants from all over the world. One fine example that le...

Even if the organizations behind it sometimes make professional football unbearable, the fun of the game is still there for @philipp-demankowski. Having already done a special for Uncanny Valley Radio on the occasion of the last World Cup, he invited UV Radio regular guests @conrad-kaden and Gunnar to record a new special for EURO 2020, which for well-known reasons took place in 2021. The rules: E...

@philipp-demankowski: “It might be a bit exaggerated to state that Dresden was once called "Little Detroit from The East". But there is no question that deep and dirty electronic music has been produced and performed here in numerous dilapidated buildings since the fall of the Wall. Many exciting, often all-too-unknown artists have made sure of that, some of whom are still active today. Both the c...

You don’t have to know what Nintendonitis is to enjoy the music that soundtracks the latest indie video games.
