The lauded London-based music duo Blue Lab Beats, composed of NK-OK and Mr DM, are back with their brand new single ‘Options’.

Featuring the silver-tongued singer Farah Audhali, who the band worked with on the sumptuous ‘Wait A While’, the latest track marks the duo’s first release on their new independent label Blue Adventure Records and first new music since they released their critically-acclaimed album Blue Eclipse in April.

“Releasing ‘Options’ with Farah is our first stance as an independent act,” Mr DM says. “It has been an enjoyable few years with Blue Note Records and we can’t wait for what the future holds for us. One thing’s for sure, so much more music will be coming from us, we are in the studio non-stop at the moment and loving it”.

Speaking on the inspiration behind the label, NK remarks: “I hope that by releasing artists who think outside the box, Blue Adventure Records will encourage other creatives to do the same. I started this tiny label on my own with barely any cash but it's happening and growing. I'm so excited that Blue Lab Beats are releasing our first ever indie track.”

The prodigious duo have been making serious waves over the last couple of years, not least by winning a GRAMMY for their production on Angelique Kidjo’s ‘Fired Up’ from her 2021 LP Mother Nature. As a pair, they’ve also racked up in excess of 84 million streams and earned a Jazz FM Innovation Award.

Starting out as bedroom producers, remixing tracks for A-listers such as Dua Lipa and Rag’N’Bone Man, on to supporting the likes of Roy Ayers and Thundercat, Blue Lab Beats have been dreaming big from the beginning. Other collaborators across their four albums include Tiana Major9, Ghetto Boy, Ego Ella May, Kofi Stone, IDK, Jay Prince and their new label gives them carte blanche to continue to work with new artists, discover, innovate and create more great music.
