Behind the Drum & Bass : Release Notes

First single of Gareth Psaltis’ album In Her Reflection. With IN HER REFLECTION Australian-born Gareth Psaltis 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 namemarking both an artistic and emotional shift. Its 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 wifes 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 Valleys distinctive catalogue.
