Blue Foundation is a Danish electronic music group which started out in 2000, based on Tobias Wilner (aka. Bichi)'s cooperation with various artists and musicians. His work with Kirstine Stubbe Teglbjærg, Bo Rande and Scott Martingell (aka. MC Jabber) has been characteristic for the Blue Foundation sound. Blue Foundation released their first 7” via MoshiMoshi (Hot Chip, Bloc Party etc) and their 1st self-titled album was released shortly after. Blue foundation’s major break came with the release of their second album “Sweep of Days”. The album features radio hits including “Save This Town”. The awarding-winning album also also gave life to tracks such as “Sweep” which later appeared in Michael Mann’s “Miami Vice – The Movie” and gave Blue Foundation an international fan base. Later “Sweep” got remixed by Mikkel Metal and 16 Bit Lolitas and made its way into the dance floor and clubland supported by DJs such as Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Sasha and many others around the globe. Blue Foundation toured extensively in Scandinavia promoting “Sweep of Days” but also played in Germany, England and even Faroe Island. Their music can be described as a mix of melodic dreamy pop influenced by indietronica and shoegaze. Tobias Wilner calls it "folk music for modern people". You can find the beautiful and cinematic sound of Blue Foundation in major blockbusters such as “Twilight” and “Miami Vice.” Their music also appeared on the television series "The OC". Blue Foundation released their 3rd album “Life Of A Ghost” in Scandinavia in 2007. Blue Foundation will finish some new recordings for an EP in 2008. One of the songs features a duet between Kirstine and Mark Kozelek (Red House Painters, Sun Kil Moon). The EP will be released worldwide in 2009. The Band consists of: Bichi aka.
