Bluba Lu
are among the creators of the first Bulgarian independent label – Yellow music in 1998. The forming of the label provoke huge media interest and numerous interpretations of the concept "Yellow Music" came into being. Lately the label bankrupt and Bluba Lu create their own carrier.

First Bluba Lu released for LTJ Bukem and produced a couple of singles for "Earth" (Vol. 7), a compilation CD released by Good Looking Records. The album Groove Euroope they signed with Stephan Dorfmeister's digital label ORDIS. Manly Bluba Lu release through their own label Bluba Lu Records. The European release for the World Melancholy album they collaborate with the London based label Botchit and Scarper. The symphony project named “Warld Melancholy” was released all the world after they sign with Pinnacle Records London. The last huge project, “Quadrotopia” started as “music for a quadraphonic concert” is often compared with the good years of Pink Floyd era. By the way, the album was mastered by Andy Jackson, the Pink Floyd's soun engineer! Over 30 radio stations in Germany rotated the album in 2010. The single “Mirror” was included in Jilles Peterson compilation for February 2010. The album was nominated from one of the biggest digital distributors in Eastern Europe KVZ music for the Grammi awards.

Cautious of solidifying a style, Bluba Lu successfully interweaves trip hop, nu jazz, downtempo, chill out or ambient motives. Exploring the various wild or trotted trails of creativity, they find themselves on a similar path with labels such as: "WARP," "4AD," "Ninja Tune," and "Sonar Kollektiv." With each unique project, the band has found a large, devoted audience that finds each concert as cathartically and unforgettably ravishing.

The recordings and concerts with a symphony orchestra for album World Melancholy pushed them even further, just to show that their exploration of sound is beyond any expectations. In 2007 World Melancholy was nominated as album of the year for the annual prizes of the Bulgarian Music Television MM. The song Never Mind from the same album was included in the compilation of the Polish radio RAM – RAM 6 PM 2008.

On stage Bluba Lu not simply occupy their special place in the vanguard of the Bulgarian musical stage as pioneers, applying non-traditional approaches for their live performances, but are also noted as the main "originators" of the modern Bulgarian music scene. Their approach for every project is completely different from a musical aspect but has certain characteristics such as professionalism and innovation.

“Quadrotopia“ ist anders, Bluba Lu ist anders – und das ist gut so. Denn wann immer sich im Medium Musik jemand was traut, ist es Zeit, diesem Mut zu applaudieren. Und wenn dann, wie hier, tatsächlich die Musik selbst stimmt, ist man an einem Punkt angelangt, an dem eigentlich keine Fragen offen bleiben.

Von Portishead zu Pink Floyd. Die Bulgarische Formation „Bluba Lu” verbindet in ihrem Band-Konzept westliche Avantgarde und alten 70er-Jahre Retrosound mit osteuropäischer RockPop-Mentalität......Bluba Lu haben sich hiermit endgültig als eine der angesagtesten und interessantesten Band-Projekte zwischen Budapest und Kiew etabliert. Ob die Euphorie des Ostens allerdings bis in den Westen überschwappt, bleibt abzuwarten.
