GRAMMY Award winners and independent artists Blue Lab Beats are a production duo (and fully live band) who expertly and fluidly fuse jazztronica, hip-hop, Afrobeat, soul and electronica, whilst representing a hungry and endlessly talented generation inspired by the forebears of jazz and the pioneers of hip-hop’s golden age, where musicality was a primary principle.
