“... I think in a world where we're pushed towards niches, niches, niches, I'm kind of like an anti-niche-ist. I think you should be involved in as many things as you can to make your experience rich. Ultimately, you know, that will give you more out of your experience. I push for more uncertainty, more shaking the foundation, like, just get a little confused, you know? Look for the mystery and try and figure some things out. I think not knowing what’s next makes it so much more interesting than knowing exactly what you're doing all the time. What fun is that?”
RAF REZA IS A TORONTO BASED DJ AND PRODUCER STITCHING THE SONIC LINKS BETWEEN THE SEEMINGLY UNRELATED.
Raf has touched many corners of Toronto’s music community over the last 10 years. Between curating the bins at Standard Time Record Shop and now running his record label Orphic Apparition, his ears are tuned to music coming from both the local and international community. His DJ and Live sets are genre-fluid in nature where tracks flow through a variety of tempos and sonic palettes. A handful of releases under Raf Reza and various aliases give nods to a well’s worth of influences. The elastic nature of his musical expression took him across several venues beyond North America, United Kingdom and Europe. You can also catch him on various internet radio stations such as NTS Radio, Clyde Built Radio (Glasgow) and more. Raf’s limitless reach will continue to morph the musical boundaries within dance-floors.
