Tvyks remains fresh-faced both in terms of his looks and musical outlook ever since the early 90’s when he became a fixture on the burgeoning Czech dance music scene. One of the most active music figures in the Czech Republic, Tvyks has done it all: DJing in the best clubs, running his own successful club night, presenting his radio show and producing tracks with the likes of Hakan Lidbo for Paperecordings.
Digging from multiple sources he selects the ultimate sounds picking the best among trends as well as classics in order to provide the audience with fresh and sharp mixes. His inspiration varies from house to electro, via bassline and techno, grime and baile funk leading to a powerful head-banging-feet-thumping melange. No wonder his dexterous DJing skills and music selection has led him to the world’s top clubs in London, Berlin, Paris and Amsterdam. Tvyks was voted best Czech DJ in 2007.
Not content with only spinning the wheels of steel, Tvyks also embraced the world of music production. His collaboration with the Swedish producer Hakan Lidbo resulted in a 12 inch entitled "Norr/Vychod that was released in spring 2002 by the respected house label Paperecordings. Tvyks also collaborated with the Czech singer and musician Gregory Finn. Their Reply! project led to a single "How Much Is The Milk?". What is more, Tvyks has several remixes for the likes of Cassius, Love Motel, The Kilians, Dead Kids and Midi Lidi under his belt. Recently, he has delivered a remix for Digitalism as well as two hot-of-the-press remixes produced together with another Czech producer V! for Kid E. ft. Bad Teeth - Summa Flava and Dance Area - AA 24/7. He continues to concentrate on his own music productions as well.
Aside from music production, DJing and club promoting, Tvyks has also stirred the waves within local media as a music programmer on the cult TV shows Puls and Paskvil that were shown on Czech state television, as well as a popular radio host on the leading radio station Radio 1 presenting his own radio shows French Connection (2000-2007) and, as of recent, Vibrator.
In 2005 he co-founded two highly successful club nights in Prague - Plastique and Boom Bang Baby! that injected Prague nightlife with a much needed dose of joie de vivre. The nights played host to Europe’s hottest DJ’s and acts such as D.I.M., Mixhell, Headman, Rex The Dog, Lo-Fi-Fnk, Adam Sky, Huoratron, Bunny Lake, Naive New Beaters, Vicarious Bliss, Jo Jo De Freq, Franz & Shape or Namosh.
A generous host renowned for his inimitable fashion style, a dexterous DJ with 16 years of experience behind the decks, an accomplished producer and a forward-thinking person with an eye on the next big thing – Tvyks is all this and more. His recent move to the electronic music capital Berlin might mean we will hear more about this multifacetted and open-minded artist. Watch out!
