Release Date: May, 29, 2026 Artist: @barkingmusic Catalogue No.: UVMC07 To be released on tape and digitally Distributed by Clone Distribution P & © 2026 by Uncanny Valley – www.uncannyvalley.de Contact – [email protected] 01 Gareth Psaltis feat. Billy K – These Shadows 02 Gareth Psaltis – A View Across The Sand 03 Gareth Psaltis – Rush 04 Gareth Psaltis – In Her Reflection 05 Gareth Psaltis – Closer On Water Droplets 06 Gareth Psaltis – You Sleepwalker 07 Gareth Psaltis – Fell Upon 08 Gareth Psaltis – Niederbahn With IN HER REFLECTION Australian-born Gareth Psaltis aka @barkingmusic steps into a new chapter. Formerly releasing music under the moniker Barking, the Berlin-based producer now presents his most personal work to date under his full name—marking both an artistic and emotional shift. It’s his first release on the long-running Dresden-based label Uncanny Valley, which is venturing into uncharted territory with this release. The album signals a clear move away from the analogue-synthesis foundations of his earlier output towards a more fragmentary, collage-like approach. Samples drawn from obscure jazz and Greek folk records intertwine with everyday field recordings, framed by jungle rhythms and ambient drift but also post punk-informed basslines, wave and jazz structures. The result is music that feels intimate yet open-ended, rooted in club culture while quietly pulling away from it. Written over the past one to two years, IN HER REFLECTION mirrors a period of profound change in Psaltis’ life. Navigating the isolation and uncertainty of living in Berlin, the process was shaped by his wife’s pregnancy and the birth of his first daughter, experiences that brought new forms of connection, grounding and belonging. These themes surface most clearly on the title track, which also marks the first appearance of Psaltis’ own vocals, reflecting on transformation, vulnerability and closeness. Balancing introspection with rhythmic precision, IN HER REFLECTION is not a reinvention but a refinement, an album that embraces subtlety, memory and emotional resonance and positions Gareth Psaltis firmly within Uncanny Valley’s distinctive catalogue. The eight tracks form a coherently sounding album that is best visualided by the unique artwork by Carl-Johannes Schulze, one of the label heads. Credits Written and produced by Gareth Psaltis in the little room. Guitar on Track 1 from Billy K. Published by Copyright Control. Mastered by Anne Taegert, Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin.

Here's a little something from a private birthday thing at our lovely objekt klein a. It's in these moments that Conrad and Philipp once again disguise themselves as the legendary Giorgio’s long-lost relatives. @conrad-kaden @philipp-demankowski

Welcome to the world's last edition of an annual best-of show! Every January, Philipp, host at UV Radio, asks friends from the Uncanny Valley and Balearic Sunday community about their favorite song from the past year. The result is once again a super listenable mix and a tribute to the music itself. Of course, the artists themselves present their favorite song. Many thanks to everyone who contributed. Enjoy! @philipp-demankowski: Rogê - Existe Uma Voz @acidadams: Olly Alexander - Cupid's Bow (Narciss' Smeared Lipstick Remix) @conrad-kaden: Credit 00 - Die Welt Simon Arnold: Simon Arnold - Resonance II @melizards: The Wirtschaftswunder - Television @carlsuspect: Courtney Bailey - Like A Heaven @Cuthead: Céline Dessberg - Selenge @CVBox: EMMI AID – Emmauswald bleibt! Felix: Castle - Nosferatu Nights @sandrow_m: Haute & Freddy - Scantily Clad @marcel-koar-wherehouse: FCL feat Lady Linn - Can We Try @behind_the_curtain_btc: Conrad Schnitzler - Das Tier ( Marcel Dettmann Edit) @Stryczek: Circulation - Aqua (Mix B) @matznhuber: Helmet - Purple Edge @Eski: Kuttin Edge - Onyeabor Merle: james K - Days Go By @willdubner: 747 - Lost Lagoon @wilhelm_richard_music: Dim Fumes - Corridors @gunnar-b-uchler: Lady Blackbird VS Crooked Man - Purify @sova_sova: Bill Laswell - The Western Land (A Dangerous Road Mix)

As the year draws to a close, UV Radio host @philipp-demankowski returns to the show with a tradition that has become a quiet constant: the annual Ambient Special. Now in its eleventh edition, the show once again offers a gentle pause in an otherwise hectic year. Given the current state of the world, 90 minutes of drifting, unobtrusive sound may be just the kind of refuge many are looking for. Take a step back, settle into a calm space, and let the music do the rest. Wishing everyone a peaceful Ambient Christmas. 📸 Danakil Depression (Ethopia) Ishome - mark ii driver Car Culture - Nothingburger Jo Bogaert - Ambient Kinsky Trance - Ambiente The Starseeds - Behind the Sun (Deep Ambient Mix) The Arc - Orphic Mysteries Whatever the Weather - 20°C Barker - The Remembering Self Djrum - Come Find Me ex_libris featuring A Made Up Sound - #8 (Cascade) Mark Pritchard, Thom Yorke - Wandering Genie Burial - Imaginary Festival tibslc - Washed Ashore Morten Søndergaard - Sahara I Mine Hænder Global Communication - Incidental Harmony No‐Man - Days In The Trees (Reich)

Dancers have to train hard and perform with a rough edge, conveying emotions with as much acting ease as possible. At the end it also requires choreography, clothing, lighting and the appropriate set with lots of helping hands. The bigger the show, the more people are involved. With a few exceptions, it also needs sound, rhythm or just a appropriate soundscape. Sometimes existing music is used because it is structurally well suited to the piece. Other times, working with composers and musicians is the best way to put your own stamp on the piece bringing things to the point. @sandrow_m has been working with choreographers and dance piece makers for several years. With this compilation he presents 20 different pieces of music that were either used because of their suitability or were created. There is no attempt to present the entire spectrum, which would not be possible in 90 minutes anyway. Nevertheless the compilation contains various styles, for which, with a little patience, you can try to find corresponding film material on the Internet to complete your listening experience. 1. Thomas Bangalter - CHIROPTERA Solo Intro (from JR, Damien Jalet, Thomas Bangalter - CHIROPTERA) 2. Alisdair Macindoe - 4/4 (from Chunky Move – 4/4) 3. Steve Reich – Violin Phase 4. Hofesh Shechters Dancing Clowns (Directed, choreographed and composed by Hofesh Shechter) 5. Terry Riley – In C 6. Soundwalk Collective - Amputated Impulses (from Sasha Waltz – Kreatur) 7. Armand Amar feat. Isabel Sörling - Vertikal Pt 1 (from Armand Amar – Vertikal Pt 1) 8. Thomas Bangalter – CHIROPTERA (from JR, Damien Jalet, Thomas Bangalter – CHIROPTERA) 9. Mikael Karlsson - Eskapist_Procession (from Alexander Ekman - Eskapist) 10. Jamie xx – Gosh 11. Andrew Winghart – Step Into The Light (from Andrew Winghart – Step Into The Light) 12. Armand Amar - Pixel Life (Original Soundtrack for Pixel a Dance Performance) 13. Nikolaus Woernle - Landscapes (from Natalie Wagner - Im Puls) 14. Sandrow M - Ulf had nose (from Yaron Shamir – Mr. Krake) 15. Ori Lichtik feat. Gidon Schocken - Struße (from Sharon Eyal - Strong) 16. Ori Lichtik – Half Life (from Sharon Eyal – Half Life) 17. Travis Lake – Interrogation (Travis Lake – Avalanche) 18. Ran Bagno – Agapé Unison (Original Dance performance Soundtrack) 19. A.M. Beef - Awamamba (from Imre van Opstal - Wanderlust) 20. Nikolaus Woernle - Breakdown (from Natalie Wagner - Im Puls) For music written specifically for a dance piece, the choreographers and names of the pieces are given in brackets. Compositions that were used for one or more dance pieces due to their suitability after their creation are named without such a designation.
