<p>We are proud to present our 11th tape, courtesy of Paris-based artist Théo Ferretti. Coming from his gothic and post-punk roots, the project aims to fuse these influences with shades of electronic body music, martial techno and mystic industrial music, blending together darkness, poetry, existentialism and modern day brutalism.</p>
<p>Questioning the duality between the material and the immaterial, the past and the present, the sacred and the cursed, M I M’s sound is severe and transcendent while remaining danceable and cathartic. Staring at the Void -his third EP- is the logical following to all of these topics, a dive into the abyss of the human subconscious through haunting basslines, rains of metal hits, screams of despair and liturgical chants.</p>
<p>Joining forces to Théo’s release, we have the pleasure to present three remixes of the EP, courtesy of England’s Randolph &#038; Mortimer, our Toulouse&#8217;s Arabian Panther and from UVB’s side-project Elements of Joy, which presents his first remix under this alias.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://areazrecords.bandcamp.com/album/uncanny-valleys-vol-iii"><img src="http://xwaveradio.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Uncanny-Valleys-III-e1623899849638.jpg" alt="Uncanny Valleys III" title="Uncanny Valleys III" width="180" height="180" class="alignright size-full wp-image-8634" /></a></p>
<p>“Uncanny Valleys” compilation series is related to the theory introduced by japanese robotitian Mori Masahiro back in 1970, referring to the paradoxical perception of the existing similarities between robots and human beings.</p>
<p>This third opus focuses on Modern sonics, through a variety of genres and interpretations of these aesthetics. While the volume opens with a aerial and breaked track, it unfolds with ritual and &#8216;techno&#8217; blending, before stepping into deconstructed territories with heavy vocal and digital manipulations. Finally, the final contributions open up sharply designed sounds and noisy atmospheres, which maintain the link within the compilation series.</p>
<p>Taking a look at music that is influenced by a genre &#8211; Industrial-, created in the times where the concept of Uncanny Valleys was created, helps us to grasp the links between the theory and art, both inspired by the development of technologies and its influences on both personal and societal aspects.</p>

<p>“Uncanny Valleys” compilation series is related to the theory introduced by japanese robotitian Mori Masahiro back in 1970, referring to the paradoxical perception of the existing similarities between a robot and human beings.</p>
<p>Hereby graphically represented in the artwork as the moment the curve goes under the horizontal axis, Sven incorporated human and non-human elements with collage technique, blurring the line where humans and robots differ.</p>
<p>This first opus is made out of Techno-EBM tracks spanning from old school EBM identity to a more contemporary approach of body music.</p>

<p>Their music has previously been described as ‘Cold-Industrial’ through their two first albums. Continuing to deliver and develop their unique sound, this EP has a strong take on freedom and social liberties as in the first track ‘Protéger et Servir’. It also served as an output for their reflexion about loss, whether in dogmas, illusions, hopes or reference points, and to always find a way to go on.</p>
