Blond:ish‘s Bye Bye Plastic campaign is the subject of a new mini documentary directed by Jonathan Hyde and formally presented by Mutt Film. The short, seven-minute production chronicles the artist’s early introduction to music through the instruments in her childhood home—an old school cockpit, an amplifier, and a turntable—before delving into Bye Bye Plastic.

Blond:ish’s initiative was conceived during a stint in Brazil that situated her behind the decks of Brazil’s Warung Beach Club. Set against a backdrop of a Brazilian sunrise, the “mountain of water bottles” that would go on to inspire Bye Bye Plastic caught the producer’s eye. For Blond:ish, the juxtaposition was glaringly apparent.

Bye Bye Plastic’s aim is simple: eradication of single-use plastics, such as straws, cups, and bottles, from the electronic music industry by 2025. The documentary highlights the ways that Blond:ish is not only working towards this long term goal herself, but also how she encourages others, DJ’s and attendees alike, to do the same.
