Inside the performance

Sound, stage & company

Onstage company

Documented collaborators

Born in London in 2006, Darkstar began as a duo and expanded into a trio with James Young, Aiden Whalley, and later James Buttery. The group quickly became a fixture in the UK electronic scene, known for their moody, atmospheric productions that blend post-dubstep textures with indie-pop sensibilities. Early releases found a home on Hyperdub, before the band moved to Warp Records where they released several influential albums.
