Actress (aka Darren J Cunningham) is an artist and producer based in London. Across multiple releases for Ninja Tune and via his own Werkdiscs imprint, Cunningham has created his own arcane language filled with hermetic references and inter-dimensional electronic composition.

Often prefiguring key musical and cultural currents with his work, Actress has reimagined Stockhausen, collaborated with an AI trained on his own music as far back as 2018, and collaborated across forms with artist Lewis Hammond, creative studio Actual Objects (on gallery installation Grey Interiors), London Contemporary Orchestra and Australian art-rock group HTRK.

New album Radical Frame arrives 18 years since the debut Actress album Hazyville, and feels like the apotheosis of his work at the forefront of the Black British avant-garde.
