Raf Reza
Based in Toronto, Raf Reza is a DJ, producer, and musical curator known for fusing contemporary electronic rhythms with sound traditions from the Global South. A fixture in Toronto’s music scene for over a decade, he blends Bengali folk, rave, and dub into a fluid, borderless sound. Reza has performed at clubs and festivals across North America, Europe, and the UK. He is the founder of the Orphic Apparition label and a former curator at Standard Time Record Shop, where he champions underground aesthetics and global influences. His debut album Ekbar, released in April 2025 on Telephone Explosion Records, merges Bangladeshi musical traditions with UK hardcore and bass, using instruments like the ektaar and bashi flute to connect rural memory with dancefloor energy.
Geneva
Being embedded in the GTA underground community, Geneva has spent the past few years playing parties and clubs where music & culture come first. With southern Ontario's close proximity to Detroit, the birthplace of techno, her invigorating sets draw inspiration from early techno, electro, and Detroit club music. Geneva consistently demonstrates her passion for electronic music and culture. She co-owns TREMA AUDIO, a Hamilton based techno/electro record label and party series. As well, she hosts her own techno and techno-adjacent nights in Hamilton & Toronto; showing local talent and fostering the budding scenes. Geneva also is involved in the community advocating for less harmful party practices, educating ravers, and fostering a safer dance floor space.
Sound Dimention Sound System
Based in Hamilton, Ontario, Sound Dimention Sound System was created to produce the energy of sound system culture as it evolved on this side of the Atlantic, echoing the tradition shaped by Jamaican communities in the UK. The setup features vintage speaker boxes chosen to replicate the deep, heavyweight sound that defined the UK reggae scene from the 1970s onward. Many of these boxes come from Toronto-based sound systems of the 70s and 80s, adding a strong layer of local history and authenticity to each session. Every show is a living tribute to the culture and energy of dub, roots, and jungle, with fresh dubplates and new sonic discoveries showcased each time. Sound Dimention Sound System is committed to keeping the tradition alive by honoring its past while pushing it forward into new territory.
