Northling began as a collective in 2017 and quickly began to find their place in the arenas of nu-jazz and electronica.
Originally, the band started as a trio but grew in 2020 and 2021 with the addition of three more members.
During the pandemic they self-released their debut album ‘Ways of Seeing’, which won the ‘Groundbreaker’ and ‘Best Album’ awards at the North West Music Awards in 2021.
In early 2022, following the success of Genix’s remix of their track ‘Take Our Time’, Northling was signed to ‘Reflections’, the third sub-label of Anjunabeats.
Northling’s subsequent releases under this label, so far being EPs ‘Tycho’, released in September 2022 and ‘Hallowed Ground’, released in September 2023, have garnered support from BBC Radio 1, have led to their release of Apple Music exclusive mixes, and saw Northling booked to perform a DJ set at Anjunadeep’s Open Air Festival at Finsbury Park in August 2023; two of the six members have prior experience DJing internationally and make a perfect sub-team for such events.
Further, the collective had its first sold out show as a six-piece at The Old Joinery, Greenwich in September 2023, which led to the release of their third EP on Reflections, being ‘Hallowed Ground live from The Old Joinery’, released in December of the same year, which includes live versions of the main singles from the studio version of the EP plus a couple of extra tracks.
