ABOUT MEDJ Cruz was first exposed to the world of DJing thru „scratching“ while listening to the DJ at the skateboard contests he used to compete in. After spending hundreds of hours practicing his craft, he made his first mixtape and sold it outside of Underground Hip Hop clubs, scoring him the op-portunity to play his first opening sets. Barely two years later, Vincent Dubinsky became the re-sident DJ of Club Kaufleuten, one of the best Clubs in Switzerland and with that starting to get atten-tion in the scene. At 19 years old, Cruz decided to leave the safety and security of his well paying job at a private bank to follow his deep-rooted pas- sion for mixing and producing music. The key to his steadily growing success is his totally open format approach to mixing Electronic Dance Music, Hip Hop, Rock n Roll, Trap and Twerk to- gether with his knowledge of club music, fueling his sets with energy, innovation and long experienced crowd-reading. At the age of 20, he started playing his first international gigs which quickly resulted in a jam-packed agenda of traveling from Europe to the US, Asia and back headlining some of the worlds best venues such as 1oak in New York, Vip Room in Dubai, Gotha in Cannes, Pangaea in Singapore, Armani in Milano and l‘Arc in Paris. Kanye West, Justin Bieber, Snoop Dogg, Asap Rocky, Kelly Rowland, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne are only a few names, for whom DJ Cruz has either DJ‘d for during their performances or played their After-Parties.

At the same time Cruz started producing his own music and eventually releasing it, having seen Superstars like Tiesto, Avicii or DJ Snake playing his tracks on the main stages of huge festivals. To further focus on music production, Cruz moved to New York for a couple months and graduated at a Music Production Course. Simultaneously, Cruz and his team founded the label Unashamed Luxury, organizing events in several venues in Switzerland, hosting a Radio Show and selling merchandise. In 2018, they will expand inter- nationally meeting the steadily growing request from clubs for the brand. Meanwhile, DJ Cruz has been given several awards, mentioned in Friday‘s Magazine 30 under 30 and is to be found within Switzerlands WhoIsWho. His reputation has brought him performances for companies like Calvin Klein, Redbull, Mac Cosmetics, Uber, Nike, Swarovski and many others. At the end of 2017 he signed with an international Manage-ment company and as of 2018 will be releasing his new tracks on a major music label. Stay tuned, as DJ Cruz is only just warming up...

UNASHAMED LUXURYNext to DJing and producing, Cruz also runs his own Party label called‚ ‚Unashamed Luxury‘. For the past 5 years, he hosted his sold-out event at the famous and prestigious club Kaufleuten in Zurich every second month. Influenced by all his travels globally, every event is dedicated to another theme making each night unique, crazy and surprising. From fire spitters to burlesque dancers, magicians and live bands, spectacu-lar decoration to LED shows, there is not much left DJ Cruz and his team haven‘t already done.

UNASHAMED DAY-PARTY What‘s nicer than dancing in the sun with your friends at the lake? The Unashamed Day Party was the logical evolution of the successful party concept at night. Since 2013, DJ Cruz & his team organise an annual Day Party at the exclusive Strozzi‘s venue at the lake of Zurich after the holidays to kiss the summer good-bye. Tickets are sold out immedia-tely, tables are booked out and the beautiful memories last forever.

UNASHAMED RADIO SHOW After Cruz won the Swiss Nightlife Award for Best Open Format DJ, the Zurich based Radio 105 station ap-proached and offered him his own monthly Radio Show. Only a short time later it became the audience’s favorite show and is now also broad- casted in Germany, Belgium, USA and occasionally other countries. DJ Cruz takes his listeners on a musi-cal journey from Electronic Dance Music to Indie, Deep, Hip Hop, and back up to House. Keeping it for-ward thinking and open minded to all kinds of musical genres.
