Based in London, England, house/techno artist Moiré -- named after the term for overlaid graphic patterns -- debuted in early 2013 with a 12", Never Sleep. It was issued on Werkdiscs, a label run by Darren Cunningham, aka Actress, one of the producer's primary inspirations (along with Theo Parrish). Cunningham also placed a duly scuffed-up and hypnotizing Actress remix on the release. Only a few months later, Moiré followed it with a 12" for the Netherlands' Rush Hour label. The following year, another Werkdiscs 12" preceded a nine-track album, Shelter -- an extended refinement of his low-key but emotive sound. ~ Andy Kellman
