Creativity ‘til infinity: Why Actress will never stop making music - Marcus Barnes interviews Actress for Mixmag
Noted, 09 Nov 2023, 19:01Six Tracks #41 coming right at you with another half dozen sizzlers. This selection features the opening track off the second EP from Protection (who are Iain Cook from CHVRCHES and fellow Glaswegian musician/producer Scott Paterson), on Delsin a taster of the upcoming new EP from Russian weird Techno connoisseur Anastasia Vtorova, aka Machine Woman, the first track Push Power ( a 1 ) from the new Actress album (due out on 3rd November via Ninja Tune), after nearly 20 years, a welcome return from Cybotron (Juan Atkins and Laurens von Oswald), on brokntoys a rousing Electro cut from Club Mayz and, to close things out, the highlight from the recent elshuffles album, give me a reason.

A zesty and irreverent round-up of 2022's 'bests'
This remix project from Para One looks like a cracker judging by the team involved. Alva Noto, Sophie Birch, Call Super, Fasme, Ricardo Villalobos, Hot Chip, Superpitcher, Actress and many more, have reworked tracks from the Frenchman's album SPECTRE: Machines of Loving Grace. I'm particularly enjoying the Actress take.
With 21 tracks in total, the project is being releases in three packages. The first one is already out, with the second and third following on January 28th and 25th February.
Nicholas Ali Momeni, aka Nick AM, has turned in a rather pleasing remix of Actress track X22RME, cleaning up the murky, lo-fi aesthetic and beefing up the rhythm.
Fav albums, fav EPs, fav compilations, fav mixes and fav artwork.
