Despite few CD releases in their catalogue so far, having initially focused more on 12" singles such as their Grim Dubs (as per the prevailing culture), Werk Discs have already developed a reputation for forward-thinking releases on the outskirts of grime, dubstep, and post-Dilla blap/'lazer bass'/wonky beats. Werk co-founder Darren J. Cunningham's first full-length as Actress (following 2004's No Tricks EP) is hazy indeed, dusted tech-house somewhere between Theo Parrish, Autechre, and young contemporaries like Rustie, Hudson Mohawke and labelmate Lukid (hawking his own fine new disc, Foma).
