Here�s an introduction for a DJ that rarely needs one. Long a leading force
in the Canadian scene, Deko-ze has been cited as one of Toronto�s best
by Eye Weekly, Fab, Now Magazine, Xtra, and the Toronto DJ Festival.
For years he has been labeled �Canada�s hardest working DJ�,
frequently playing gigs in nearly every Canadian centre � big and
small. He has held residencies in clubs across the country for over 15
years.

Building on his international profile, Deko-ze has numerous gigs in the USA, UK, Germany, Taiwan and Mexico under his belt. He was also signed to a multi-year artist / development deal with Hi-Bias Records in 2006. So far, he has three singles (�This Time�, �Feel Love� and �Explosive�), two remixes (for Sherrie Lea and Nick Fiorucci respectively) and two highly successful compilations (�Delicious� from 2006 and �Canada�s Finest: House� from 2008) under his belt. Plus, �Canada�s Finest: House� was awarded Best Local Dance Album by FAB Magazine!

Deko-ze has always believed in spreading the vibe � which was most evident throughout the �Techno Prisoners� and �Technopolis� shows he co-produced
for several years; being an active member of the prestigious Balance Record Pool as well as the Music2Mix promo release pool based in London UK, Total Promo Service and ZipDJ based in Toronto; his long running, inciteful, hilarious and scandalous �Fiends, Mischief & Mayhem� column that ran in TRIBE and Scenester magazine and also as a buyer at Toronto�s Release Records and Eastern Bloc!

In a scene now overly segmented, Deko-ze is increasingly distinctive. Although categorized as a House DJ, he is recognized for his ability to fuse music of multiple genres (deep, funky and hard house; tribal; progressive; electro; tech-trance; techno). His energetic and charismatic stage presence, engaging personality, strong technical skills, and original approach to programming have uniquely cultivated a huge following in both the gay and straight scenes. Simply put, everyone loves Deko-ze!

Better known to most as "R.A.F.H."...he is no stranger to the scene. This 11 year veteran of the decks has been turning heads all over Vancouver Island where he has headlined major clubs and Afterhours spots, while also having the honor to open for such prestigious artists as Chris Lake, Sebastien Leger, Kevin Shiu, Bass Kleph, Adam K, Cosmic Gate, Lazy Rich, Miles Dyson, Dabruck & Klein, Wolfgang Gartner, Sam La More, and Soulfix, to name afew.

Never locking himself down to just one genre, the past decade has seen him play almost every major genre of dance music, from Hard House to Drum n' Bass to his own genre dubbed "Prog-lectro". This experience has resulted in a sharp ear for what works on the dancefloor. Currently, in 2011, he finds himself spinning records with no solid genre, lost somewhere in between the ever changing boundries of techno and house.

With 2010 seeing his first single "A1-BETA" finished, and his first remix of renound Vancouver artist SKLA's track "HWPBC" up on Beatport under his HI-LIFE label, 2011 looks to be an exciting year indeed for RAFH!
