BLOND:ISH & Boris Brejcha in Jeddah

BLOND:ISH is a Canadian electronic music project created in Montreal and led by DJ and producer Vivie-ann Bakos. It began as a duo, and Bakos continued under the name as a solo act after Anstascia left in 2019. Its house-focused catalogue includes the album Welcome to the Present and the tracks “Give Dem” and “Sete.” BLOND:ISH has performed DJ sets at Burning Man and later developed ABRACADABRA as a label and party series. ABRACADABRA events have reached Pacha Ibiza and Scorpios Mykonos, extending her work beyond standalone festival appearances. Coachella and Tomorrowland have both hosted BLOND:ISH DJ sets.

Boris Brejcha is a German DJ and producer, born in Ludwigshafen in 1981. He describes his music as “high-tech minimal,” a form of techno built on precise rhythms and melodic passages. His best-known releases include “Purple Noise,” “Gravity,” the album Space Diver and Never Stop Dancing. Boris Brejcha has played Tomorrowland repeatedly and developed Boris Brejcha in Concert as his own headline event format. Cercle also filmed an extended set at the Grand Palais in Paris, documenting his long-form approach to DJ performance. His performances are DJ sets centered on his own productions. A Venetian-style joker mask is a recurring part of his stage identity. He has also performed at Coachella in California and Ultra Music Festival in Miami.
