DJ Nocturna Presents Queen of Wands

French Darkwave Electronic Act Divine Shade and My Interview with Founder Ren Toner

DJ Nocturna


I had a conversation with Ren Toner, the founder of the French dark wave electronic act known as Divine Shade. They recently revealed their single “Stars,” which was performed live during Divine Shade’s set supporting Gary Numan’s 2022 UK tour.

The song delves into the theme of the disappearing “inner child” as time passes. Ren Toner elaborates, that he crafted this song to explore how love and resilience lead us back to dreaming. Divine Shade later released a revamped version of “Stars,” remixed by Chris Vrenna (formerly of Nine Inch Nails), a 2022 Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame inductee. The remixed track, renamed “The Stars Eclipsed,” boasts a more industrial sound.

Additionally, another Divine Shade track titled “Oublier” features Steve Fox-Harris, Gary Numan’s guitarist. Their latest single, “Heaven,” is set for release on their upcoming 2024 album.
