Budapest-based independent concept label Blue Sun celebrates its first anniversary with their second VA cassette, showcasing artists from the local underground music scene, along with some international guests. Bound together by an aesthetic rooted in the "listening" culture, the release features mostly downtempo tracks with a colorful palette of genres, including ambient, trip-hop, jazz, experimental electronica, new wave, and even modern classical music. With a contemplative, wandering feel, it shifts the focus from music consumption on dancefloors to an attentive listening experience. Just as on the first VA (BLSN001VA) there are no 'A' or 'B' sides on this release. Instead the label uses colors to distinguish them, largely based on the mood of the tracks. The 'orange side' covers a more upbeat line of music, while 'blue side' takes us on a more introverted, experimental journey. Curated with a 'circular listening concept' by the founders of the label, the tracks are sorted in such a specific order that they are designed to take the listener on an endless auditory loop - wherever the journey begins.
