Prague Zouk Marathon 2026

My whole life is connected with music, not only by playing instrument since my childhood but I always loved listening all sort of music and collecting it. And somehow it happends that I was given the opportunity to use my joy and taste of music to make people on the dancefloor happy. I am trying to learn something new on every event, adapt the music and mood I am playing to the dancers of different communities and countries.

I am playing mostly on events in Brno, my hometown and I am also heading to play to Poland, Romania, Croatia and Prague and others. If I should speak about my prefered style and mood of music, it would be beatless songs, chill and soft. So my favourite time of playing is in the morning or whenever the mood is more relaxed and smooth and cosy. I try to feel the people on the dance floor and provide them fluent energy and satisfy their current dancing mood. I also try to challenge their musicality by expressing music that is not so usual and traditional zouk music.

For HUSHZ being a DJ is basically something he arrived at after patiently building this craft from many elements.

His will to live is driven by musical phrases which helped him with his main occupation as a classical music double bass player or obtaining musical degree. Obviously, that was not enough, so he also explored territories of composing and producing music from scratch using both physical instruments as well as digital modelling. On that field he also released two albums of zouk remixes and one album including tracks he composed and produced completely on his own.

Breathing music for most of his life made him fall in love with a wide variety of different genres. Years of listening, studying and making music gave him a deep understanding of emotional messages stated in songs which he appreciates very deeply to share with dancers he plays for.

Hundreds of performances he gave as a DJ and professional musician helped him develop the ability to read the audience at practically an instinctive level. It also taught him unquestionable professionalism and dedication. He never finds any issues with adapting to events he performs at, from cosy small meetings to full blown zouk congresses.

Also, as an active member of the zouk community he enjoys any non-musical contact with potential audiences greatly. This is mainly because he feels constant gratitude for having a chance to share music he loves with others.

My first encounters with DJing were actually in high school. We had these partys, mainly organized by the students, where we would sleep over at the school and party through the night. It fascinated me back then, so I somehow got involved. I cannot even properly remember how exactly I managed to get there, but somehow I made myself learn some basics and ended up playing…

Then, after school, I wasn't really pursuing this craft any further, apart from mixing songs for dance shows, until a few years back, when I decided that I would like to start playing at our local Zouk events in Vienna/Austria and kind of rediscovered my passion for it.

Generally I enjoy playing a lot of flowy music with some deep bass and things with tribal elements, but usually I will try to go through different kinds of moods and energy levels to not have the music be too stagnant.

I really love when the music can resonate with the state of mind the people are in and have them fall deeper and deeper into flow along the way.
