Ilija Mandic a.k.a The Interpreterr, mastered the art of DJing in his native Serbia, reaching the heights of Exit Festival on several occasions. From the beginning of his career he stayed uncompromisingly in the underground scene. In 2012, with his best friends and colleagues he founded 'Enter The Cube' music studio, which was the center of the underground culture in his home town, Novi Sad. Many great musicians enjoyed creating music in ETC studio. In the period from 2012 to 2015 with his organization he became a resident in one of the most eminent clubs in Serbia - 'Club Compressor'. After establishing himself in his home country and playing throughout the region, in 2015, Ilija moved to a place where he was unknown– bringing him new and refreshing perspectives and starting with a new project namely; The Interpreterr! Ilija’s musical style can be better described as a state of constant change. We can name many of the different styles he’s played like every other DJ; techno, minimal techno, deep house etc. But the essence is in the name The Interpreterr because he tells a story, which is unrecognizable from the begining to the end. For him the definition of art is expressing emotion and emotion is in constant flux. This move to Malta has led to a positive change in his musical selection. Over the last year, Ilija has witnessed a change in style – from tech house to deep, progressive house with a brilliant touch of the Orient. Also known as desert house, this style incorporates Eastern musical instrumentals over transcending, spiritual beats. In November 2018 with his friends he started the project the Wanderlust Notion in a Maltese club, 'Tigullio'.
With DJ Ruby (Malta), 2019, he started an alternative project: Organic Echoes - Multicultural world folk music mixed with electronica, organic tones, prominent tribal rhythms and mediative frequencies: Organic Echoes
