The Artist: Daverage J. Normal - "Dark Stars"


We know him since "Voidhawk", today he is releasing his new track "Dark Stars" and it sounds great. Underground at it's best I might say. Daverage J. Normal has returned bringing a new futuristic sound to listeners with the release of his third single of 2021, DarkStars. The forthcoming track is the lead single from his future EP, General Dysfunction, tabled for release in mid-summer 2021. DJN is an independent artist hailing from the UK, he writes, produces and mixes his own works from his home studio in Kenley, Surrey.

You can clearly hear the influences of retrowave and cyberwave aesthetics alongside a more industrial edge though without confining itself too much too one specific ideal.
