Blue Hour MusicVisual identity and print
2018


Conceived by Berlin-based producer / DJ Luke Standing, 'Blue Hour Music' blends Acid Techno, old school Rave, Breakbeat, Jungle, and Leftfield genres to craft a dreamy euphoric experience. The music explores a narrative of timeless artistry unrestricted by geographical or scene boundaries. 

Blue Hour, a moment akin to dawn, dusk, and twilight stages, defies a singular definition and is represented by a neutral colour rather than blue. Just as Luke Standing's alias 'Blue Hour' implies, his sound transcends conventional categorisations. 

Drawing inspiration from the abstract notion of time, the identity design incorporates time code symbols, while the cover design grid mimics an analog clock face. Focusing on the segment of a clock that symbolises dawn or dusk, this design system offers a minimal yet versatile approach for efficient LP cover creation.
