  • FACT get free with Actress image
  • Actress is set to top the bill at this Sunday's FACT Magazine party at The Lock Tavern. The Werk Discs head honcho has seen his profile rise dramatically over the past twelve months, with singles on Prime Numbers, NonPlus+ and Honest Jon's, and fans of his smoky and experimental downtempo house sound can look forward to more of the same when his sophomore LP, Splazsh, drops later this year. His sets are known for their unpredictability, and one can expect anything from Detroit techno to hip-hop when he gets onto the Lock's turntables. Joining him on the bill will be Tempa stalwart D1, who'll be bringing along a bag full of dubplates that should encompass his classic '06 halfstep sound as well as his more house-influenced tracks like "Ongie Bongie" and "Pitcher." Bringing up the rear will be Slackk, whose mix of UK funky and grime pricked the ears of FACT's Tom Lea in his most recent The month in... Bass column. Things kick off bright and early at 3pm, but given the busy nature of their previous free events, the FACT team are recommending that those who don't want to wait in the queue outside should turn up before 5pm.
