Actress, aka, Darren J. Cunningham has in the last 5 years of running the Werk label set himself apart as one of the hottest A&R scouts within his field, having discovered and released some of the most widely talked about artists of the emerging bass generation, namely Disrupt, Zomby, Lukid and Starkey.
As actress he produced the exceptional “Hazyville LP” drawing cries for a Mercury Award Nomination.
He’s remixed the too cool for school Various Production, written for the seminal techno imprint Soma and has recently confirmed an album deal to record on Honest Jons, the British Independent record label created and founded by Damon Albarn.
Gobby depends on his music to ward off irritability and paranoia. What matters isn’t the genre, or tools, but the time spent problem solving in solitude. Right now Gobby’s focused on dark techno, but his influence is always shifting. He is consistently at work in Harlem as beat maker & producer, currently tracking with artists like Mykki Blanco (see “Betty Rubble”), Jamie Krasner, Le1f, and Cadence Weapon. His live set consists of an SP-404 and his drums, which he has been playing for 11 years. His equally deep catalog, is archived through a timeless YouTube channel & broken Megaupload links.
His signing and first EP on UNO is the result of his new Detroit/Berghain phase, however pre (’08-’12) and post (’12-??) productions are set to surface in the near future. Trying to define Gobby is besides the point – you only introduce him and we are unreservedly proud to do so. Gobby would like only to thank you kindly for listening and is grateful for any or all support.
