Blackest Ever Black is a London-born music label that was founded by Kiran Sande in 2010. The label operated until 2019 and during its existence, it became known for its diverse range of musical genres and styles. Initially based in Berlin, the label later relocated back to London in 2016. With an impressive roster of artists and a commitment to pushing boundaries, Blackest Ever Black has left an indelible mark on the music industry.
Throughout its lifespan, Blackest Ever Black consistently showcased innovative and boundary-pushing music from various genres including electronic, experimental, industrial, and beyond. Under the guidance of Kiran Sande, the label cultivated a reputation for releasing thought-provoking and challenging records that pushed the boundaries of conventional sound.
With a strong emphasis on quality over quantity, each release from Blackest Ever Black was meticulously curated to offer listeners a unique sonic experience. The label's dedication to artistic integrity earned them respect within the industry and garnered a dedicated following of fans who appreciated their uncompromising approach to music.

Jabu is a talented artist known for their unique blend of experimental electronic music and soulful vocals. With influences ranging from hip-hop to ambient, Jabu's sound is both captivating and introspective. Their music has been compared to artists such as Young Echo, O$VMV$M, and CS + Kreme.

Known for their collaborations with other artists in the underground music scene, Jabu has worked with performers like Jonnine, Space Afrika, and RAMZi. Their ability to seamlessly merge different genres and styles sets them apart from other musicians in the industry.

With a discography that includes releases on labels like HTRK Records and Purelink Music, Jabu continues to push boundaries and explore new sonic territories. Whether performing live or producing in the studio, their passion for creating innovative music shines through in every project they undertake.

Blackest Ever Black presents Sleep Heavy, the debut album of broken-hearted, downtempo R&amp;B / street-soul and supremely atmospheric, introspective electronics from Jabu: a trio comprised of vocalist / lyricists Alex Rendall and Jasmine Butt, and producer Amos Childs. The group was born out of Bristol’s Young Echo collective: an ecosystem unto itself which has birthed and nurtured a number of other notable soundsystem-rooted projects and artists to date including Kahn and Neek, Sam Kidel, Ishan Sound, Ossia, Asda, chester giles (the title Sleep Heavy comes from a giles poem) and Killing Sound (Childs with Kidel and Vessel).
