Lord Northstar

Lord Northstar is the musical identity of Alvin Clark: an independent hip-hop producer, MC, beatmaker and visual artist. His sound comes from the golden era of hip-hop: soul, funk, jazz and progressive-rock records, chopped and rearranged over hard, hand-programmed drums.

He looks for the odd passage, the unusual instrument and the break nobody else noticed, and builds music that feels organic rather than polished to sound old.

Alongside music he works in illustration, photography and visual art, and he is one half of the duo ND 20/20 with D.A.R.Y.L., also known as Nomad.
