    DJ Woody AKA Woody Madera is one of Britain’s most respected hip hop DJ’s and arguably one of the most innovative and musical turntablists of his generation. Driven by an obsessive quest for originality in the true spirit of hip hop culture, Woody is a one-man movement constantly pushing the envelope in a time when most DJ’s seem content with covering old ground. Responsible for the invention of a host of groundbreaking scratches, beatjuggles and turntablist techniques including his famous signature 'Woodpecker' scratch, not many DJ's can lay claim to having had scratch legend DJ Q-Bert on the telephone asking for tips. He’s toured with One Self (DJ Vadim) and has appeared on vinyl for various labels from Twisted Nerve to Ninja Tunes and has released two mix CDs so far this year covering Demon Boyz to Boards of Canada.

    Hailing from the grimey northern industrial town of Burnley in England most of the 90's were spent perfecting his skills by rocking clubs, performing with MC's, vocalists and live bands, producing mixtapes and laying down cuts in the studio. In 1999 Woody entered his first DJ competition making it straight through to the UK DMC finals, and in 2001 Woody was to become the world’s most successful scratch DJ by gaining more major championship titles than any of his contempoaries. On taking a trip to the mecca of turntablism, San Francisco, Woody made history by becoming the first ever European to take the coveted World ITF title (International Turntablist Federation), following in the footsteps of legendary DJ's Babu (Dilated Peoples) and A-Trak (Kanye West DJ). The following year saw Woody become 2 times World Champion when he stormed the Vestax Extravaganza World finals beating off competition from 14 countries.

    Since then Woody has been proving the point that he rocks dancefloors as effectively as he murders DJ's in battle, sharing the stage worldwide alongside Eminem, Cypress Hill, De La Soul etc. He became resident scratch assassin for Ninjatunes' hip hop super-crew One Self, recording the perfect musical scratchscapes to compliment Vadim’s production on One Self's debut LP 'Children Of Possiblity' released in 2005. As one of the UK's most successful turntablist exports in the last 5 years Woody has toured relentlessly in various incarnations taking in South Africa, Venezuela, Brazil, India, Trinidad, Russia, Japan, China, Canada and virtually every country in Europe, gaining him a widespread international fanbase. He has released two mixes so far this year with a “A Country Practice” and a UK old school mash up “Bangers and Mash” and with an all new live project planned for 2006 you can expect to hear a lot more from the Wooden one.

    DJ Woody plays Ri Ra, Dame Court, Dublin 2 on Friday June 2. Doors 11:30pm. For further information please email/ring addresses above!
