Introduction to this branch of electronic music and trance came through European underground artists and friends returning to post-war Sarajevo. Wedran took part in various projects aimed at the promotion of electronic music. In 1998, he started to work at one of Sarajevo's radio stations. He began DJ'ing in 1999, becoming the first psy trance DJ in Sarajevo.

Upon establishment of the alternative Radio 3 in the beginning of 2000, Wedran got the opportunity to share psy trance with radio audiences in Canton Sarajevo by means of the radio show Trip-to-Night.
