Founded in 2000 by Danish musician Tobias Wilner, Blue Foundation is known for their cinematic dream pop and electronic sound. The group has gained recognition for their music being featured in films like Twilight and TV shows such as CSI: Miami. Wilner's approach to forming the band, drawing inspiration from Mark E. Smith of the Fall, has led to a rotating cast of musicians contributing to the band's creativity, with multi-instrumentalist Bo Rande remaining a constant member since 2008. Blue Foundation has released numerous singles, albums, remixes, and soundtrack contributions, reaching a wider audience through collaborations with artists like Mark Kozelek and Jonas Bjerre.

The band's debut single, Hollywood & Hide, was released on the Moshi Moshi label in 2000, followed by a self-titled debut album on April Records a year later. Blue Foundation's music has also been featured in European films and on various TV shows beyond CSI: Miami, such as Miami Vice, So You Think You Can Dance, and The O.C. Additionally, Wilner established DPC Records in Copenhagen in 2009 as a platform for releasing Blue Foundation's music and side projects. Collaborations with artists like Mark Kozelek and Jonas Bjerre have further solidified Blue Foundation's presence in the music scene, showcasing their unique blend of dream pop and electronic elements.
