Jazz
Earlier in the year, drummer Moses Boyd - a man once thought of as jazz's next big thing - finally delivered his debut album, "Dark Matter", and it was a peach. Exodus have decided to re-press it in hour of the Love Record Stores campaign, delivering it on highly limited "split black and white vinyl". Musically, the album's strongest selling point is Boyd's inspired rhythms, which mix his jazz roots with nods to hip-hop, grime, dubstep, dancehall and the kind of polyrhythmic beats made famous by the late, great Tony Allen. Throw in equally adept musical backing - think fuzzy, Fela Kuti style horns, booming basslines, Juju guitar solos, jazz-funk flourishes, dark hip-hop tropes and inspiring vocals - and you have a contemporary jazz-not-jazz set with serious chops.
