The RSN8 music collective was founded in mid-2023 by Toronto-based electronic music artist Valeria Wardini.
What began as an intimate studio night—co-organized for its first three editions with Toronto mainstay DJ Fido Dido—quickly evolved into a platform that now elevates both international headliners and rising local talent.
RSN8 draws inspiration from the rich music cultures of the Middle East and European club scenes, a fusion that has propelled it into one of Canada’s fastest-growing electronic movements, firmly rooted in the ever-evolving city of Toronto.
Beyond its boundary-pushing events, RSN8 is a hub for creative collaboration, uniting artists, and like minded visionaries and underground music enthusiasts. Every detail is handcrafted to create a safe space where creativity and sound resonate together—because RSN8 isn’t just a party; it’s an experience.
Valeria Wardini's story is one of steadfast commitment and resilience. At just 13, while most of her peers were still searching for direction, Valeria had already found her calling: to become a musician, a passion that remains unwavering many years later.
Her primary focus is Melodic Techno, where she crafts dark yet ethereal melodies, creating high-energy, emotionally driven sets. Valeria also likes dabbling with Organic Techno as a sidegig, infusing it with Middle Eastern sounds.
Her music background, spanning decades of diverse influences aims to offer a rich tapestry of sounds. Her journey is a testament to resilience, inspiring others to pursue their dreams as she continues to relentlessly pursue hers amidst adversaries.
