The 2021 Prism Prize for Best Canadian Music Video was awarded to Theo Kapodistrias, for his clip for Haviah Mighty’s Thirteen. We will continue to profile noteworthy Canadian videos that are eligible for the 2022 prize, including this one from an eclectic Vancouver-based artist.


Debby Friday - Runnin

Debby Friday is a Vancouver-based artist who mixes electronic beats with influences of drill, industrial, experimental, and hip-hop. Runnin is one of her most recent singles, potentially in the build-up to a new project. Debby has released two LPs over the past few years. 

‘Runnin is a psychedelic experience. Debby Friday has multiple colourful spectres, copies of herself walking at her sides down a dark tunnel. It’s as if you’re seeing quadruple, but rather than being concerned about your eyesight, you’re just taking in the soft, wavy neons as Debby surges forward. This fits extremely well with the song itself, as Debby and her clones come towards the camera relentlessly, as the driving beat feels as though it is what’s pushing her. Absolutely a worthwhile watch, and if you end up enjoying it, Debby’s other videos should tickle your fancy as well.

Kaytranada, Tiësto, Zedd Will Get The Party Going At FVDED Music Festival 2025

The B.C. dance festival returns this summer after a sold-out edition last year. Mavis Staples and Alabama Shakes also share upcoming Canadian dates, and the Canada Black Music Archives announces Black History Month programming.

Tiësto, Zedd and Kaytranada will all be getting faded in the park this year.

The three dance music superstars are set to play Surrey, B.C.'s FVDED Music Festival, which returns for another edition on July 4 and 5. Last year, the festival refocused itself on dance music, leading to a sold-out edition. "We tried to make sure people were heard,” Blueprint's Alvaro Prol said of the decision at the time.
