James Young, Aiden Whalley, and vocalist James Buttery are Darkstar, the London-based production unit whose track 'Aidy's Girl Is A Computer' attracted a huge amount of attention in 2009 with its fusion of synth-pop and dubstep elements. Signed to pioneering dubstep label Hyperdub label, Darkstar are not unlike fellow shooting stars Mount Kimbie in their rather loose application of dance music structures to their music. If anything, Darkstar's sound can be labled 'post-dubstep' for its use of vocal samples and contemporary production techniques, but at its very heart lies the quest for impeccably composed, melancholic pop songs.

The Album North was reviewed:
Darkstar have chosen piano ballad 'In the Way' to open their first album, making it clear from the outset that their highly anticipated 'North' is in no way a dubstep album, despite seeing its release via Hyperdub. Instead this is pure, sentimental machine pop, fusing Portishead, Thom Yorke and screwgaze. Highly recommended.
