Sunnyside Sessions ft. Blond:ish - Day 2

Sunnyside Sessions ft. BLOND:ISH – Day 2 lands at Sunnyside Pavilion, Toronto, on June 14, 2026. At the controls, Canadian artist Vivie-Ann Bakos channels the BLOND:ISH signature she’s honed since the late 2000s: a house foundation that drifts between deep and tech edges, slides into organic downtempo, leans on afro-house rhythms and sprinkles in psychedelic tones. The result is a rolling groove shaped by warm percussion, supple basslines and broad, atmospheric layers, with voices treated as texture and melodies that unfold gradually.

First formed as a Montréal duo, BLOND:ISH is now Bakos’s solo project, equally at ease in clubs, open-air settings and festivals, with releases on labels like Kompakt and Crosstown Rebels. For Day 2, she brings a wide-angle selection that links sun-leaning tempos with late-night momentum, aligning ritual drums and modern electronics, and stitching tracks with careful transitions that keep the floor in motion. Expect a set that balances detail and drive, tuned to the waterfront vibe of Sunnyside Pavilion.
