Darren J. Cunningham, better known as London-based producer Actress, managed to create quite a stir lately, both with his admirably freestyle Werk Discs label, as well as with his own productions, most notably his stunning debut album 'Hazyville'. In 2010 Actress has turned to Honest Jon's for the release of his equally acclaimed second album 'Splazsh'.

Many were surprised when in 2010 London's world music institution Honest Jon's signed experimental techno artist Darren Cunningham a.k.a. Actress. Cunningham went on to deliver one of the most idiosyncratic and universally acclaimed electronic music experiences of recent times with his genre-bending debut for the label, 'Splazsh'.
Now Cunningham gives us 'R.I.P.', his third Actress album, and it's one that makes Actress and Honest Jon's seem an even more logical pairing. The follow-up to 'Splazsh' is rawer, wilder and more abstract than anything we've heard from Actress so far.
Dance-floor conventions are given less consideration than ever - the album's first half is largely devoid of discernible house or techno beats - and yet this is not a cerebral or theoretical album, but one of great immediacy. 'R.I.P.' gracefully side-steps electronic music traditions in favour of Actress' very own style of techno primitivism. It sounds convincingly like ethnographic recordings time-warped back from the future, documenting the tribal sounds of a people of high-tech shamans - mystical, alien, and intense. One of the best albums of the year so far.
