Raised in the multicultural haven of Toronto, 6RAJ began collecting, curating and mixing diverse dance music at the young age of thirteen. After taking up scholarship in the Netherlands and South Africa, 6RAJ returned to North America with deep dancefloor sets inspired by the sounds of global deep house, melodic techno and afrotech.
Along the way, 6RAJ combines their love of philosophy with their artistic passion to cultivate spaces that liberate minds and bodies through a unifying language. Now based in Montréal, 6RAJ has garnered international appreciation for their unique style of dark afro-inspired melodic techno: their releases have received DJ support from techno legend Richie Hawtin and DJs on Afterlife, Desert Hearts Black, Steyoyoke and Stil Vor Talent, among others.
“Afterlife meets Afro vibes” – Lunar Plane [Stil Vor Talent], on 6RAJ’s upcoming EP
Né à Toronto, ville multiculturelle Canadienne, 6RAJ a découvert divers genres de musiques électroniques dès l’âge de 13 ans. Après ses études aux Pays-Bas et en Afrique du Sud, 6RAJ est retourné en Amérique du Nord avec un style unique et inspiré par les sons de la deep house mondiale, de la techno mélodique, et de l’Afro-techno. 6RAJ combine son amour intellectuel de la philosophie critique et sa passion créative pour le DJing afin de vous donner un espace musical librérateur axé sur l’âme et le corps.
