RUDEE NIK

Rudee Nik’s provenance in the entertainment industry runs back to early 2000’s deep into Toronto’s house-music scene — and it all started with the desire to listen to quality music outside of what was on the mainstream radio. He then discovered electronic music through late-night pirate radio shows, emerging Toronto underground venues, and inspiring artists in the striving rave scene — such as Kenny Glasgow’s legendary performances on the 1’s & 2’s in warehouses and beyond. Rudee to this day gives utmost credit to Kenny for playing a paramount role in the development of his career in music, and his ear for euphony of sounds. 

After spending a brief time observing the DJ’s from the dance-floor, Rudee swiftly realized that he’d much rather be in control of playing the hit records for the crowd, as well as be the creative force in organizing events behind the scenes. 
DJ’ing and hosting naturally led him to the nightclub business, where he has held and operated several nightclubs in Toronto, to his most current and well established venture: Vertigo, a late-night destination, as chief operator and resident DJ. 

Over the years Rudee Nik has performed at the foremost venues & events in Toronto, and internationally alongside some of the world’s most renowned artists such as Danny Tenaglia, Green Velvet, Jamie Jones, Carl Craig, DJ Harvey. His eclectic yet deep underground sound has flowed into notable festivals such as Electric Island and across the globe to The BPM Festival, as well as shows in South America and beyond.

In the past several years Rudee has dedicated his time in the studio to develop his own style of house-music, that encompasses a wide-range of elements from his years of DJing to diverse dance-floors — with forthcoming music on some of dance music’s most prominent labels, such as Damian Lazarus’s Rebellion [Crosstown Rebels].

It can certainly be said that Rudee Nik’s passion for our beloved electronic music scene runs deep, with no sign of him slowing down.
