The infiltration of jazz into the UK underground's myriad strains—hip-hop, soul, pop, and even grime—the timing couldn't have been better for UK jazz duo Blue Lab Beats (aka producer NK-OK and multi-instrumentalist Mr. DM) to strike with their new full-length album Xover (pronounced: cross-over).

Across 16 tracks (that breeze by faster than you'd think), the pair teams up with a huge list of singers, rappers and musicians to supplement their infectious take on jazz. Kojey Radical, Tiana Major9, Nubya Garcia, Moses Boyd, a few members of Triforce, Dylan Jones from Ezra Collective, Ruby Francis, Otha Soul, James Vickery and more join DM and NK-OK for an adventurous and ambitious introduction to the new vanguard of jazz.
