Ruck N' Wiz

Within the last few years, Ruck P and Wiz, two young and upcoming Djs from Biel-Bienne have been collecting a lot of experience on the turntables. Individually and as a group, they’ve gained a reputation as rock solid Hip Hop djs throughout their country of origin. They’re able to entertain all audiences from straight backpackers to a mainstream crowd. With their first album they’re finally proving their skills not only on the turntables, but also on the MPC. The 14 self produced tracks feature international renowned artists as Masta Ace or Termanology and Prop Dylan from Sweden but also some of Switzerland’s finest as Nefew’s Polemikk, Manillio or Greis. With lots of love for fine details, the two producers got to create their unique sound over a period of several years. Inspired by the classic east coast esthetic, they’ve chopped unknown sample sources to rearrange those bits and pieces into something completely new. This led to a solid album which unites traditional influences and modern techniques. Short Bio DJ Wiz Inspired by national greats as Ker, Fat Daddy, Nerz, Ability and Mo-B, Wiz from Biel/Bienne (Switzerland) started deejaying back in the late 90ies. He released his first mixtape with DJ Romez in 2003. His longtime comrade, Mike Pacaud, has been putting him on the MPC, his favorite production tool up to this day, in that period. Wiz has since then been working with a lot of regional talent as Shork, Lexis, Tony Mac or Miss Lynn. In 2007 Wiz became part of the nationwide renowned dj-crew DoubleTrouble. His repertoire consists of everything from hard to find underground Hip Hop to contemporary club sounds and funky Disco beats. In March 2010 Ruck P and Wiz (Ruck N' Wiz) released their producer Album "The Essential Part". The 14 self produced tracks feature international renowned artists as Masta Ace or Termanology and Prop Dylan from Sweden but also some of Switzerland’s finest as Nefew’s Polemikk, Manillio or Greis. Their song « Seck Vou Tröim » feat. Swiss-Rapper Manillio went on MTV & Viva Rotation, other songs were aired on different Radio-Rotations. Besides mixing almost every weekend at different venues, Wiz continued to work with Ruck P in the Studio. At the end of 2010 they started to work with singer Djemeia. They participated at the M4 Music contest and won the Urban Award with the song „It’s Your Way“ which opened new doors…….The duo is now working on Djemeia’s first Album. Short Bio DJ Ruck P Born into a musical environment in 1987, Ruck P started playing the piano, guitar and drums as a kid. At the age of 16 he got himself his first pair of turntables and started mixing raw rap, funk and soul tunes. Through a whole lot of b-boy battles and parties he made himself a name as a solid, technically skilled dj with a great sense for any type of crowd. With his wide knowledge of music, technical skills and a great ear getting into production was a logical next step in the young djs career. After two years of producing for national artists as Bensch, Breitbild, Manillio or Tommy Vercetti Ruck P got in touch with DJ Wiz. In a spontaneous studio-session it quickly became clear that their musical and personal ideas completely matched. Since that moment, besides of mixing at various clubs, Ruck P has been focusing on the production of his very first album and the ongoing MPC shows with his freshly found partner DJ Wiz.
