Darkstar - Wolf

Darkstar were founded in London in 2007 by James Young and Aiden Whalley and are now a trio, with singer James Buttery joining in 2010.

With him, they released the acclaimed debut album North on the Hyperdub label, which is known for its melancholic synthpop sounds. After Buttery's departure in 2014, Young and Whalley returned to the original duo formation and continued their musical journey, releasing several albums via Warp Records in the following years, including News from Nowhere (2013), Foam Island (2015) and Civic Jams (2020). Their music is characterized by a mixture of introspective pop, ambient elements and UK bass influences.
