Quick Answer BLOND:ISH took over Radegast Hall in Williamsburg, Brooklyn for an intimate renegade DJ set in November 2024 — an unannounced, word-of-mouth event that became one of her most-watched performances online with over 380,000 views. The set spans deep house, progressive house, and Afro house in a raw, stripped-back setting far from the festival main stages.
The Set
Radegast Hall is a Williamsburg beer hall — wooden beams, communal tables, zero pretension. That’s what made this renegade set special. No production, no LED walls, just Vivie-Ann Bakos, a DJ setup, and a crowd that found out about the show hours before it happened. The result is one of the most authentic captures of BLOND:ISH’s sound: rolling basslines, hypnotic melodic loops, and an energy that builds through connection rather than spectacle.
The set features tracks from the Never Walk Alone album alongside deep cuts and unreleased edits. Video production by RAW CUTS, directed by Cal Green.
What Is a Renegade Set?
A renegade set is an unannounced, unofficial DJ performance — often in an unexpected venue. The format strips away production and puts the focus entirely on music and crowd energy. For BLOND:ISH, renegade sets connect back to the roots of the Abracadabra ethos: community over commerce, music over marketing.
