Blue States

Formed in 1997 by Andy Dragazis, London/Sussex-based outfit Blue States has spent over two decades crafting lush, atmospheric soundscapes at the intersection of electronic, indie, and cinematic music. After early releases on Memphis Industries and a US release via Thievery Corporation’s Eighteenth Street Lounge imprint, Dragazis built a reputation for widescreen, evocative production—a signature sound cemented when "Season Song" became the iconic theme for the cult zombie film 28 Days Later. Along the way, Dragazis has brought his unique sonic touch to remixes for acts like The Future Sound of London and Badly Drawn Boy. Through albums like Man Mountain, The Soundings, and Restless Spheres, Blue States has constantly evolved—shifting seamlessly between expansive electronica, traditional song structures, and intimate acoustic folk (World Contact Day). On the 7th studio album, Where The Fades Meet, Dragazis steps into new territory by placing a six-piece choir and live strings at the heart of the record, elevating deeply personal songwriting into a sweeping, communal experience.
