Wow she can PLAY!<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The drums are mad. Really tight, the hi hats are off the chain the way that they come out in 16ths as well as rolls in some place but it all fits nicely!<\/p>\n<p>I could hear this being played with a live band and everyone having the time of their lives both on the stage and in the audience.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>*picks up phone and calls Jazz Cafe\u201d hey are you planning on having Blue Lab Beats?? Have a listen to THIS!<\/p>\n<p>Blue Lab Beats are a multi instrumentalist duo from London NKOK and Mr. DM. They are already causing havoc on the airwaves by having been played by Tom Robinson on the BBC Introducing Mixtape recently with \u201cMotherland Journey\u201d using Godfather of afrobeat Mr. Fela Kuta\u2019s vocals (Not an easy feat as his estate don\u2019t usually allow this to happen\u2026 but they did\u2026)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Poppy is no slouch when it comes to musicianship. She\u00a0started playing the trumpet when she was 10-years-old, when her grandad bought a cornet from a charity shop for her. 14 years on, she has established herself as one of the most respected trumpeters in the country, collaborating with the likes of Nix Northwest, Bel Cobain, Celeste, B.Ahwe, The Silhouettes Project, Colectiva, Arlo Parks, Pyjaen, Roella Oloro, Raquel Martins and Barry Harris.<\/p>\n<p>They have remixed tracks for Rag n Bone Man, Due Lipa and so many more.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This track is from their forthcoming album \u201cMotherland Journey&#8221;.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>One last thing on this, if this is the quality of track coming out of the Blue Lab Beats camp the album is going to bring FIRE!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Do not fall asleep on them.<\/p>\n<p>You will regret it if you do.
