What defined Blue Room Sounds
Blue Room Sounds is the contemporary successor chapter to the historic Blue Room Released label. The Blue Room Sounds discography begins with BRS001 in August 2020 and has a broader sound-art/electronic identity while retaining strong connections to psychedelic artists such as Total Eclipse and Juno Reactor.
Extends one of the most influential 1990s psychedelic-label brands into a distinct modern catalogue while preserving the historical separation between Blue Room Released and its successor chapter.
How Blue Room Sounds developed
Blue Room Released operated from 1995 to 2001. The current Blue Room Sounds discography begins in August 2020 with BRS001 Change Is Coming, followed by releases including Eternal Basement, Total Eclipse - Into The New Room (2021) and Juno Reactor material.
