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.
