Blue Hawaii with Izzy Camina
Riding off the stellar reception of "I Felt Love" and its rave remix, Blue Hawaii are rolling out 2023's "Feeling Celebrated". It's more club-ready than ever, featuring faster tempos, trance-inspired basslines and punchy drums. The first single, "Summer for the Loners", is a cheeky take on teen angst and the feeling of being a misfit, juxtaposed to the happy warm summertime.
A duo skilled at turning heartache and separation into dreamy yet danceable electronic pop, Blue Hawaii is Raphaelle Standell and Agor "DJ Kirby" Cowan. Their breakup inspired the frostbitten beauty of 2013's Untogether, while virtual spaces - and real-life distance - informed 2017's Tenderness (both albums were nominated for the Electronic Album of the Year Juno Award). With 2019's Open Reduction Internal Fixation, 2020's Under 1 House, and 2022's My Bestfriends House, Blue Hawaii dove deeper into the sounds of '90s and 00s dance music while retaining the emotional connection of their music. They are based in Montreal and Berlin.
~~~~~~~~
Blue Hawaii have been perfecting their craft for over a decade, and the duo are readier than ever to return to the stage. Building upon their latest release - 2020's 'Under 1 House', the fire EP is a six-track tour-de-force showcasing dance-floor euphoria alongside soaring diva vocals.
The two first met in 2008, at the heart of Montreal's burgeoning underground loft party scene. Finding their start with a bedroom minimal electronic sound, they gradually evolved into a more live and dance forward project, placing emphasis on celebratory and visceral catharsis. The essence of their work is threaded through the confident sanguine vocals and songwriting of Raphaelle "Ra" Standell and the distinctive production of Agor "DJ Kirby" Cowan. Blue Hawaii uniquely assembles every aspect of their music together. Team work makes the dream work. Catch them live this January across North America.
~~~~~~~~
Blue Hawaii have traced a unique path. They made a splash back in 2010 by releasing the sun-soaked EP Blooming Summer, following their loving, dustyrose coloured travels through Central America. Three years quickly passed and they suddenly found themselves touring a break-up record called Untogether (2013), dealing with complex issues surrounding technology & their relationship, living apart while creating together, and seeing their local community torn apart by success and jealousy. Since then, Ra spent much of her time with her band Braids, while Agor has lived in LA and Berlin developing a deeper understanding of dance music production and DJing -- something the two are well known to bring to their heavy-hitting live show & DJ sets.
