‘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’sBrownswood label, and released several acclaimed solo projects though his Exodus recordlabel. Boyd has produced original scores for major Paris fashion shows, and with saxophonistBinker Golding, he’s co-leader and co-producer of the ferocious semi-free group Binker and Moses.
