Starting out as bedroom producers, remixing tracks for A-listers such as Dua Lipa and RagâNâBone Man, on to supporting the likes of Roy Ayers and Thundercat, and producing on Kojey Radicalâs âReason To Smileâ, Blue Lab Beats have been dreaming big from the beginning.

 The last two years have seen Blue Lab Beats emerge from the bedroom, and into the ears, minds and hearts of millions of music lovers with over 50 million streams, a GRAMMY for their production on Angelique Kidjo's 'Fired Up' track from her âMother Natureâ LP, a Jazz FM Innovation Award and now 2 MOBO nominations. The pair also contributed the key track Blow You Away (Delilah) featuring Afrobeats artist Ghetto Boy, for the hugely acclaimed British film Rye Lane and also made their silver screen debut when they performed in the movie. Playing 2 electrifying sets at Glastonbury Festival in 2023, the Blue Note in Tokyo, Love Supreme in Japan , 3 shows at Jazzaladia Festival in Spain, a sold out show at the Royal Albert Hallâs Elgar Room, a support with Robert Glasper at Jazz A Vienne and straight on to both Montreux Jazz Festival and Montreal Jazz Festival before ending the year at the legendary KOKO for Global Soul Radio in December, Blue Lab Beats are showing no signs of slowing down.  Â
They returned in 2024 with their highly acclaimed new album 'Blue Eclipse'. âBlue Eclipseâ heralds an exciting new era for Blue Lab Beats and the 12 songs reveal the depth and breadth of producer NK-OK, and multi-instrumentalist Mr DMâs musical ambition. Featured guests include Mercury Prize nominated Kojey Radical alongside Daley, on âTake Timeâ, IDK & Jay Prince on âSay Wowâ, Amber & Farah on âWait A Whileâ, and Poppy Daniels on the title track. âWe called this album Blue Eclipse as a nod to Blue Skies, our first EP. We wanted to embrace some themes and sounds that weâve used throughout our career and make an album that truly represents us. Using sky titles acts as a reminder of people in our lives who inspired us and left a very important mark on us. We wanted to welcome old friends as well new ones onto this project and we are so happy with everyoneâs amazing contributions.â Blue Lab Beats.
