NEW MUSIC: TALLULAH RENDALL / OLUGBENGA

Tallulah Rendall gets remixed by Metronomy’s Olugbenga (whose real name turns out to be the much more nornal Darren) and by Actress, which is also Darren.

Ghost On The Water has featured here before. Then, I said “could almost be an Error Operator mix at the start, with a slightly strung out feel before becoming a more conventional leftfield dance track (if that isn’t a contradiction in terms). If you ever liked Tori Amos’ remixes, then this may be for you. If you hated then, you will hate this.” The other track, Colourblind is more bleepy and crunchy in a sort of early 90s IDM meets late 80s pop.

Blurb: Renowned Remix artists Actress (“A pseudonym of Darren J. Cunningham, UK ‘2-step’ / ‘concrete’ / ‘rnb’ artist, who records for & runs Werk Discs. He has released two albums, as Actress: SPLAZSH (2010) & Hazyville (2008).“) and Olugbenga (“OLUGBENGA is beginning to make a name for himself as a DJ and remixer. Working purely on a laptop (and not turntables) and drawing influences from contemporary Nigerian music, left-field electronica, gospel and rock, OLUGBENGA’s approach to the cut-and-paste (or mash-up) technique popularised by DJs like Girl Talk yields truly singular results.”) have collaborated with singer/songwriter Tallulah Rendall on tracks from her newly released second album Alive.
