Moses Boyd - Dark Matter (2020)

Posted By: Fizzpop

Date: Feb. 13, 2020

'Dark Matter' is a landmark record, a producer album by a young auteur, threading several thrilling musical traditions into a bold new tapestry: the raw energy of grime and afrobeats and the rolling club rhythms of the London underground, combined with the freewheeling creativity and collaborative spirit of his jazz training. With that mentality in mind, it's no surprise that his talents have trickled over into fashion, producing original compositions for the Louis Vuitton Foundation x MoMa Archive film (2017) and most recently scoring the Men's Dunhill Paris Fashion shows in both 2018 and 2019.

A double MOBO & Jazz FM Award winner, Boyd's live and studio collaborations have been as varied as they have been prolific, from touring with Sampha & Kelsey Lu, to drumming on Sons of Kemet's Mercury-nominated album, to his recent collaboration with South African Gqom king DJ Lag, which made its way onto Beyonce's official soundtrack for The Lion King. He produced Zara McFarlane 's 2017 full-length, Arise, in its entirety, for Gilles Peterson's Brownswood label, and released several acclaimed solo projects though his Exodus record label. Boyd has produced original scores for major Paris fashion shows, and with saxophonist Binker Golding, he's co-leader and co-producer of the ferocious semi-free group Binker and Moses.

Dark Matter draws on the energy of grime and afrobeat, as well as Boyd’s jazz training. “I still love jazz, but this is something different,” writes Boyd. “It’s a very produced record […] but I feel like finally it sounds like I’m a producer that also plays jazz.”
