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.



Established in 1994, we've grown from a small NYC basement store to a worldwide brand. 

For an artist, the hardest skill to master is the ability to transcend, be it the era that created them, the work that defined them, or even the fame that elevated them, but those who are successful are rewarded with a title that can only be earned: legend. Derrick “D-Nice” Jones, with a multi-decade music career that has taken him from the Apollo to the Singapore, and seemingly everywhere in- between, can proudly say he’s earned it.

To understand why D-Nice can be spotted spinning all over the globe you need to know where he began—the Bronx. At just 16 years old, D-Nice was a founding member of the iconic ‘80s rap group Boogie Down Productions. By 1990, he had a Billboard number one single off his self-produced debut album, “Call Me D-Nice.” But as the landscape of hip-hop and New York itself began to shift, D-Nice recognized the need to transcend.

A proven talent behind the turntables, D-Nice sought a creative outlet in famed downtown clubs such as Selena and Table 50. The venues where pioneering DJs, like Mark Ronson and Q-Tip, were blending old school tracks and dance classics with the latest rock soon became his home away from home, and it wasn’t long before he had his own night. Suddenly, the MC from uptown was the hottest DJ downtown—and around the world. At events from Oscar night galas to parties thrown by Diddy, D-Nice could now be heard in Paris, Singapore, South Africa, Miami...

It was also around this time that D-Nice discovered he not only possessed an ear for a mix, but an eye for capturing images as well. Strapped with a Leica camera from his expanding collection, he began documenting his life. A visit to D-Nice.com can yield a portrait of Halle Berry or Kid Rock as easily as an artful street scene of Brooklyn. Music and photography became two expressions of the ever-expanding BrandNice.

D-Nice moves seamlessly between gigs, whether he’s rocking the Apollo Theater’s Spring Gala with Stevie Wonder or appearing as a featured photographer on Tyra Bank’s “America’s Next Top Model.” Currently a brand DJ for Hennessy, he also holds a DJ residency at Atlantic City’s Borgata Hotel Casino and had the distinct honor of playing President Barack Obama’s 2012 Inaugural Ball.

Positive and always creative, the father of two continues to evolve BrandNice into new territory. He looks forward to his upcoming solo photography exhibit and an international DJ tour. “I love music festivals. It amazes me that people will come watch a DJ explore with music. They show up for me to take them on a musical journey and it’s something I will never take for granted.”

In other words, they look to D-Nice for something transcendent.

Raised in Biel/Bienne, a city known as Switzerland's mecca for Hip Hop enthusiasts, DJ WIZ gets in touch with this culture as a young teenager. Due to his passion to collect American and French Rap records, WIZ takes his first steps as a DJ during the late 90s. Fascinated by this new discovered craft he spends day and night refining his DJ skills. Within the mid 2000s the member of Biel’s DoubleTrouble DJ-Crew is already said to be one of his hometown's finest.
After over a decade behind the decks and his first steps as a beatmaker, DJ WIZ releases his producer debut album in 2010 as part of the group Ruck N’Wiz (Ruck P and WIZ). Thanks to very positive reviews and airplay on national radio and MTV, their record called "The Essential Part" (featuring artists such as Masta Ace, Delinquent Habits, Fashawn or Termanology) gets a lot of attention. After their first release, Ruck N'Wiz win 2011's national M4Music "Urban" Award and they're able to establish themselves as a cornerstone in Switzerland's Hip Hop landscape.

During the same time WIZ doesn't sleep as a solo artist. By releasing several mixtape- series called "Years Too Late", "We Be Clubbin" and "Wizness As Usual" the co- promoter of the event series "Rap History" proves the deepness of his record collection in an impressing way. Within a few years WIZ is able to develop his reputation from a well-respected underground Hip Hop head into a celebrated musical allrounder, said to be one of his country's most versatile DJs.

By releasing the series "A Journey Through The Samples" with Ruck N'Wiz, several Nu- Disco projects with Boulevard 95 and the mix-series "Next Wave" during the past two years, WIZ gets major international attention and is able to continue building his reputation as a multi-genre artist.

Without doubt DJ WIZ is one of todays top DJs in Switzerland, performing weekly at the finest clubs and festivals all over the country. With over 15 years of experience, the 30 years old DJ is able to rock any crowd from a fancy club event to an underground Hip Hop jam or a future groove party.

By dominating the Red Bull Thre3style 2015 Swiss Finals and becoming 2nd runner up at the World Finals in Tokyo, WIZ once again proved his skills on the turntables.

During the past few years, Ruck P has developed his production skills by learning several instruments such as guitar, piano, drums and bass. In 2014, he started to get in touch with international labels. His first Solo-EP was released via Flow-Fi, an upcoming label based in Australia. Later, in 2015, he got the chance to contribute a song for the French label On And On Records (C2C, 20syl). Due to these releases, music channels like Majestic Casual, Soulection and EDM.com started to share his music and giving him access to a bigger audience.
