ACTRESS is the alias of Darren Jordan Cunningham, a Wolverhampton U.K. producer and DJ who's released some of the most categorization-defying, least predictable electronic/dance music of since emerging in the early-2000s. Since debuting with the No Tricks 12" on his own Werk Discs label in 2004, ACTRESS juggled a diverse array of inspirations -- including early-'80s funk and electro, art rock, raw and classicist house, and noise -- while putting a fresh, challenging spin on them. Cunningham's reputation was solidified through Hazyville, released on Werk in 2008, and 2010's follow-up Splazsh for Honest Jon's, as well as remixes of tracks by a select list of fellow producers. In 2012, ACTRESS released his third album, R.I.P, his most abstract and singular work to that point. The producer's fourth album, 2014's Ghettoville, was released with support from Ninja Tune, who also released this year's mind-bogglingly good AZD. Described by the label as a "a chrome aspect journey into a parallel world," it's been hailed as another landmark record, with everyone from Resident Advisor to AV Club to Pitchfork heaping praise on the effort. As resistant to categorization as it is demanding of it, Pitchfork listed it as one of the best "Overlooked Albums of 2017" and described it as one of ACTRESS's "most inviting projects, and its generous attitude makes his disorienting songs all the more affecting." It's far from "overlooked" to us and you'll be a fool to overlook seeing AZD in a live setting.
