Montreal DJ’s Anstascia and Vivie-Ann have established their love child globally proving that they don’t fit the quintessential blonde stereotype. Fuelled by their fierce gig schedule and releases on some of the most notable labels around, Blond:ish has undoubtedly made their mark in the EDM scene. The duo’s sharp taste-maker instincts and technical flair has not only charmed the industry masses but garnered them a loyal following in over 40 countries.
Blond:ish’s innovative and quirky reputation wasn’t grown on a tree but materialized in the dark trenches of Cherry nightclub in Montreal. Anyone that has attended their parties can attest that there is something very special about this underground midweek mangle. It’s the winning formula of diverse freaks, organized chaos and Blond:ish’s genre defying sets that has them still holding their monthly residency since 2008.
Over the last few years, Blond:ish has carved out a unique production recipe. Provocative basslines contrasted with smooth textures and sticky vocals that blend into a genre of house that rebels against being pigeonholed to any specific category.
Their recent move to London has enabled them to keep up with a steady release schedule with many more concoctions in the works. Forthcoming 2012 releases include a psychedelic inspired 3 track LOVERS IN LIMBO EP out on KOMPAKT mid April and their original “Lonely Days” out on NOIR MUSIC’S sub-label NM2 in the spring as well as a remix of Senna & Zohdy’s – “All In Vain” out on Two Birds Jan 25th. Some of last years releases include “Dack Janiels” out on Monique Musique,“Truth in Me ft. Ted Alexander” on NOIR Music’s Second Chances & New Romances Vol. 3 VA.
This duo rides off each other’s hefty musical knowledge and flawless technique with their diverse persona’s only adding to the intrigue. Anstascia’s unruly demeanor and creative spark spirals against Vivie-Ann’s scientific and geek-chic flair in a whirlwind of inspiration and contrast. The result is a force to be reckoned with, a vibe that effortlessly transcends in the studio, behind the booth and more than anything, to the dance floor.
Blond:ish performs at See Sound Lounge, Feb 4th, 2012 with Stereo Medics and Lush Life deejay Kutt.
