Tongue and Groove presents a Beef Records Showcase

Deep sexy tech house to deliciously funky techno and all the flavors in between. If our tongue is not in your groove your at the wrong night.

Tongue and Groove presents a Beef Records Showcase.

Michal Ruzicka, aka DJ Schwa, is the man behind BEEF records and electronic production duo Shades Of Gray. Michal became engaged in music thanks to his father, who is also a musician
himself as well as an owner of a famous recording studio in Prague (ww.orm.cz). At the age of 14, dance music caught his attention mainly through Radio 1. Around this time he tried to mix his first tracks. In 2000 he started performing publicly. In 2002, Michal started his weekly resident night 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, Schwa rapidly changed his style and the idea of an innovative techno/house label became reality and thus established the foundation for “BEEF Records.”

Schwa’s sets are not strictly one style oriented; he combines tech house sounds that progressively flow from deeper minimal & techno rhythms. Schwa’s unique mixing and track selection has resulted in a particularly massive following throughout Japan, Germany, Czech Republic, Hungary, France, Austria, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Slovakia and Australia.
Schwa has performed at huge international festivals such as “Open Air Field” (Czech Republic), “Parihaka” (New Zealand), “No Mans Land Festival” (Hungary), “Rainbow Serpent”, “Earthcore
Carnival” (Australia), Good Vibrations (Australia) and as a part of Japan tour Michal had a chance to perform at the biggest club in Japan – Ageha.

In early 2009 Shades of Gray track Moog In The House reached #6 on the Beatport charts and #3 decks.de vinyl sales chart.
