About the Station

KLBU FM (blu 102.9) brings an original sound to Santa Fe that is truly one of a kind. With roots from world, rhythm and chill, BLU is one of the most innovative stations in the US, started right here in Santa Fe.

blu 102.9 is the nation’s originator of “chill” the first new American radio format in nearly two decades.  This musical genre, originating in the club scene on the beaches of the Spanish island of Ibiza, has been a European phenomenon for several years.  The alluring sound heard on blu is frequently played in upscale commercial establishments.  Chill is also the current music of choice in the scoring of Hollywood and Madison Avenue’s most compelling films and commercials.

Now, at KLBU-FM in Santa Fe, incorporates international pop, dance, ambient, and global music. It’s a more relaxed vibe that’s cool, sexy, and hypnotic. The format is  neither “hard edged” like younger market dance music, nor too “sleepy” like smooth jazz.

Blu is not just a radio station.
blu is a lifestyle.

 Blu is the art of music.
