Moses Boyd is one of the defining voices of the UK’s forward facing jazz movement and cross genre, sonic architect. A drummer, producer, and boundary breaker, he moves fluidly between jazz improvisation, electronic experimentation, and sound-system culture
Boyd first emerged through collaborations with the likes of Sons of Kemet, Zara McFarlane, and Lonnie Liston Smith, before carving out his own path with Displaced Diaspora and the Mercury-nominated Dark Matter, an album that cemented him as one of the most inventive rhythm architects of his generation.
His upcoming release, Songs for Sinners, pushes further into the liminal zone between live percussion, electronic pressure, and spiritual intensity. Built on fractured drums, deep bass lines, and cinematic atmospheres, the album feels both ritualistic and futuristic, a soundtrack for inner conflict and collective release.
Across clubs, concert halls, and experimental stages, Boyd’s performances channel the energy of London’s DIY jazz movement, the weight of sub cultures, and the freeform unpredictability of electronic music. Whether behind the kit or the boards, he stands at the nexus of genre collapse, a key figure in the new global vanguard. An early performance of the new album sets the tone perfectly on the main stage at Parallel Society.
