Dejan Ilic a.k.a. DJ Woodie was man who made first after war Hip-Hop party in Banja Luka, 24. April 1997. That was his first "music love", mc-ing.

At the end of '97 he started to play as a radio DJ, at one of the most respected youth radio "Balkan". During that time on radio until '00 he learned a lot of about electronic music. That was the year when he made his first party in that music style. Ian Pooley, Robbie Rivera, Todd Tery were just some of the names that he liked to play.

First professional cd-s, later turntables, gave him opportunity to learn all the tricks with mixing, so now you can hear his set on three turntables!!! Now, Woodie is not boarded with one direction in electronic music. You can hear his set with a big spectrum of grooves, from deep sounds (Alexander Kowalski, Deep Base, Audio Soul project), to funky house (DJ Princ, Coree, Tiga), electro (Mylo, Martinez, Digitalism), and at the end to very positive techno ( Samuel L Sessions, Dave Angel, Oxia). His selection is very unpredictable!

In his over 6-year career, he has played with the names like Craig Walsh, Brenda Russel, Dave Manali, La Di Da, Adam Jay,Funk D`Void, Valentino Kanzyani, Oxia, Patrick Skoog, Paul Hazendonk, Virgin Helena, Marko Nastic, and Petar Dundov. On March '02, he was a guest on ClubIIClub festival in Torino, Italy (one night, three clubs, 20 djs) with the Youngsters, Michael Mayer, Alex Neri, Ralph Lawson. He played in one of the biggest festivals in Europe, EXIT 04, which crosses about 500.000 people. He is head of the one of the most activated association in Banja Luka, LOS HOMBRES LOCOS.

Beside that, he is a member of the crossover band Recall, as a vocalist, who are preparing to release their first album.

He also goes on with in hip hop for all this time. On the road is his 1st Banja Luka`s mixtape "Bilo je vrijeme" (It was time) with all BL mcs. On this project he represents his two solo tracks, with guest appearances on several more tracks.
