Electronic beds of uneasy ambience are haunted by disquieting white noise, peripheral shimmers, taking influence from various dance music genres - from shoegaze to deep house to grime, and the euphoria of 90s rave abandon - echoes of millennial-era underground dance parties at clubs including The Void and Plastic People (with presets named in tribute to Darkstar’s favourite club nights). Their unique approach to sonic experimentation is palpable in the colour and shade of this versatile collection, made from analogue synths, organs sampled at Union Chapel, found sounds, vocals and drums, transformed via finely tuned processing techniques - from tape saturation to outboard re-amping, implementing warmth and texture in various ways.Ī distillation of a sonic palette built up over the last few years, Haunted House swings from introspective to expansive, moody and industrial to nostalgic beauty, from the highs and lows of nocturnal inner-city life, to the dawn coming through. Darkstar’s journey into electronic music began with sequencers and extensive sampling - found sounds from the real world, films, TV shows, and samples of existing music.
