Nord Showcase: David Mrakpor

Saturday 25th April • 18:30-19:00 • Flow State Hub, Ely’s Yard, E1 6QR

David Mrakpor — producer, composer and one half of the BRIT Award-winning duo Blue Lab Beats — presents a special solo performance broadcast live on One Jazz.

As part of Blue Lab Beats, Mrakpor has been central to a project that has helped define the sound of the UK’s contemporary jazz and neo-soul crossover, blending jazz harmony with hip-hop production, broken beat and electronic influences. The duo’s work has positioned them at the forefront of the UK’s global jazz resurgence, collaborating widely and bringing a producer-led perspective to the scene.

This solo set offers an opportunity to experience Mrakpor’s craftsmanship in an intimate setting, foregrounding the compositional and rhythmic sensibilities that underpin Blue Lab Beats’ sound.
