A duo skilled at turning heartache and separation into danceable electronic alt-pop, Blue Hawaii is Raphaelle Standell and Alexander Kirby Cowan. Their sound waivers between an underground, emotional introspection and club ready hyperpop. They are based in Montreal and Berlin and combine those influences as a blend of European dance music with R&B/pop vocals to create a distinctly carefree sound, especially energetic and fun live, resonating with queer communities everywhere.

Bloodwork is a Saskatoon-based producer who’s crate-digging has led to the perfect blend of rainy day hip-hop beats and dark, cinematic pop. Pulling samples from sources like J-Pop, French garage rock, grandma’s old gospel recordings, and lost TV shows, Bloodwork’s debut album, I Went Back in Time to Save You, creates an unforgettable soundscape akin to DJ Shadow, Madlib, El-P. and The Avalanches.
