They met at North London's Weekend Arts College and honed their craft at Tomorrow's Warriors, the jazz programme that nurtures young UK talent. Starting out as bedroom producers remixing A-listers like Dua Lipa and Rag'n'Bone Man, they built a sound that fuses jazz, hip-hop, Afrobeats, soul and electronica. With over 85 million streams to date, they won the Jazz FM Innovation Award in 2022 and have earned multiple MOBO nominations. In 2023 they won a GRAMMY for their production on Angelique Kidjo's 'Fired Up' from Mother Nature, which took Best Global Music Album. Their live shows expand the duo with drums, bass, trumpet, saxophone and vocals, playing venues from the Royal Festival Hall to Milan's Jazz Festival. Their latest album, 'The Blue Lab Beats Show', arrived in May 2026. ## Has worked with [Explore all credits](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats#artistas) 11.4M Total plays & views Projects20 Since2023 Verified streams · verified today 11,356,999 +13 K a day · +394 K a month, on average 20 projects · 15 artists · since 2023 spotify 100 % 11,356,999 82 days · Total ## Records [900K has passed 900,000 streams Slow Heart Blue Lab Beats 17 days ago](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/slow-heart) [900K has passed 900,000 streams Slow Heart Blue Lab Beats 17 days ago](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/slow-heart-2) [40K has passed 40,000 streams Sunset and Memories Blue Lab Beats 19 days ago](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/sunset-and-memories-3) [40K has passed 40,000 streams Sunset and Memories Blue Lab Beats 19 days ago](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/sunset-and-memories-2) Most played ## Most played [01 On the Run Farah Audhali, Blue Lab Beats 1.288.463 1,3 M](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/on-the-run) [02 Slow Heart Blue Lab Beats 906.169 906 K](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/slow-heart) [03 Slow Heart Blue Lab Beats 906.169 906 K](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/slow-heart-2) [04 Never Doubt Blue Lab Beats 728.831 729 K](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/never-doubt-2) [05 Never Doubt Blue Lab Beats 728.831 729 K](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/never-doubt) [06 Say Wow Blue Lab Beats 679.270 679 K](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/say-wow-2) [07 Say Wow Blue Lab Beats, Jay Prince, Nico Harris 679.270 679 K](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/say-wow) [08 Wait A While Blue Lab Beats 538.311 538 K](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/wait-a-while-2) [09 Wait A While Blue Lab Beats, Farah Audhali, Amber Navran 538.311 538 K](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/wait-a-while) [10 Smiley DARGZ, Blue Lab Beats, birty 438.004 438 K](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/smiley) Has worked with ## 15 artists. and 1 more Catalog ## 20 releases. 2026 4 [The Blue Lab Beats ShowBlue Lab Beats · 1,3 M](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/the-blue-lab-beats-show) 1,3 M [Slow Heart / Fire UpBlue Lab Beats · 1,2 M](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/slow-heart-fire-up) [Find Your Way / Sunset and MemoriesBlue Lab Beats · 257 K](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/find-your-way-sunset-and-memories) [Champions League / Blue LotusBlue Lab Beats, FourNine · 199 K](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/champions-league-blue-lotus) 2025 7 [North London PaceBlue Lab Beats · 138 K](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/north-london-pace-4) [Daylight (Blue Lab Beats Remix)pilgriim, Blue Lab Beats · 2 K](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/daylight-blue-lab-beats-remix) [Fallin'RIA, Blue Lab Beats · 12 K](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/fallin) [Time's UpFarah Audhali, Blue Lab Beats · 1,5 M](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/times-up) 1,5 M [SmileyDARGZ, Blue Lab Beats, birty · 438 K](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/smiley) 438 K [Until The MorningAugust Charles, Blue Lab Beats · 105 K](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/until-the-morning) [Nightjar - Blue Lab Beats RemixBonuru, Blue Lab Beats · 4 K](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/nightjar-blue-lab-beats-remix) 2024 8 [I Don't TalkEva Gadd, Blue Lab Beats · 271 K](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/i-dont-talk) [OptionsBlue Lab Beats, Farah Audhali · 298 K](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/options) [Abasi Isang - Blue Lab Beats RemixCamilla George, Blue Lab Beats · 45 K](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/abasi-isang-blue-lab-beats-remix) [Blue EclipseBlue Lab Beats · 2,9 M](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/blue-eclipse) 2,9 M [Say WowBlue Lab Beats, Jay Prince, Nico Harris · 679 K](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/say-wow) [Take Time + GuavaBlue Lab Beats · 433 K](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/take-time-guava) 433 K [Take TimeBlue Lab Beats, Daley · 319 K](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/take-time-2) [Wait A WhileBlue Lab Beats, Farah Audhali, Amber Navran · 538 K](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/wait-a-while) 2023 1 [Never DoubtBlue Lab Beats · 729 K](https://obra.art/blue-lab-beats/never-doubt) Catalog · Notes · Curatorial Bio Blue Lab Beats are a London-based production duo made up of NK-OK (Namali Kwaten) and Mr DM (David Mrakpor).
