   About Dj Schwa /Shades of Gray/


Michal Ruzicka, aka DJ Schwa, became engaged in music thanks to his father, who is also a musician himself as well as an owner of a recording studio in Prague. At the age of 14, dance music caught his attention mainly through Radio 1. Around this time he tried to mix his first tracks (techno in particular) from cassettes and shortly afterwards he moved to the turntables and computer. In 2000 he found trance and started performing publicly. Two years later Schwa joined the group Tribal Vision and became an essential part of this promotional group. In 2002, Michal started his weekly resident nights in Prague at Cross Club and since 2003 he has been working as a sound engineer at ORM studio in Prague. In 2004 Michal, along with DJ Slater, started working on the first Czech progressive label and by the end of the year “Tribal Vision Records” was born. Tribal Vision has since then been slowly establishing itself as one of the leading labels on the progressive scene. At the end of 2005, the idea of an electro/experimental sub-label of Tribal Vision Records became reality and thus established the foundation for “BEEF Records”.

Michal is also part of a new Sydney based electronic project called, “Shades of Gray”, with Nick West. Oliver Klein and Jurgen Dreissen signed 4 Shades of Gray tracks for their imprint PlusMinus records and in early 2009 Shades of Gray track Moog In The House reached number 6 on BEATPORT TECH HOUSE CHART and number 3 on DECKS.DE VINYL sales chart.

Schwa’s sets are not strictly one style oriented; he combines electronic sounds that progressively flow from deeper-tribal-prog with electro and breaks elements to minimal and techhouse rhythms. Schwa has performed at huge international festivals such as “Open Air Field” (Czech Republic), “Parihaka” (New Zealand), “No Mans Land Festival” (Hungary), "Good Vibrations" (Australia), “Rainbow Serpent” and “Earthcore Carnival” (Australia) and he is frequently touring across Europe, Japan and Australia.


Schwa supported Djs/projects such as: Gui Boratto, Jimpster, Minilogue, Extrawelt, D-Nox, Propellerheads, Alex Smoke, Antix, Orbital, Chemical brothers, Steve Angello, Deepchild, Kasey Taylor, Future Sounds of London, System 7, Paul Van Dyk, Ferry Corsten, Heidi, Tim Green and more.
