DJ Tukancheez was born 1984 in Brno, the 2nd largest city in Czech Republic.
His name is Honza Kadlec but among fans, he is more known as just ‘Tuki’.

In his first ‘mixing steps’ he didn’t know that one day he will become hooked on mixing. He was influenced by one important moment, he had a chance to listen to one of the “Deep Dance” mixes, that was mixed by his future mixing idol, DJ DEEP. This moment changed his point of view about the electronic music (DJ) mixing. Since that moment, he started to discover various mixing techniques, DJ programs, DJ utilities,… just anything related to improve his knowledge about creating own mixes.

After 10 years, he is still mixing and learning about how to compose more advanced megamixes.

In 2012 he started a new project called ‘Luscious Melodies’. This videomix project is inspired by similar series such as for example ‘Sunset Melodies’, ‘Endless Roads’, ‘Floating Rhytms’ and many more…

‘I was born with music inside me. Music was one of my parts. Like my ribs, my kidneys, my liver, my heart. Like my blood. It was a force already within me when I arrived on the scene. It was a necessity for me-like food or water.’ – Ray Charles
