Career

Woods is from Eindhoven, Holland. He began his DJ career in 1988, and started rising to prominence in the late 1990s as a trance music producer. He belongs to the "golden generation" group of Dutch DJs, and saw both local and international success. Woods worked with dance label ID&T and later it's successor High Contrast Recordings.

In 2005 Woods released one of his most well known singles, "Advanced". A trance track called "far from a shrinking violet" by Mixmag, it peaked at number 52 on the Dutch Charts and was remixed by DJ Tiesto sometime later in 2012. In 2006 his single "Monotone", which was named by Judge Jules as one his favourite tracks, peaked at number 57 on the Dutch Charts.
