Tokom 1991. godine u Subotici je delovala grupa Feniks koju su činili Dragan Neorčić Draža (bas), Slobodan Vukosavljević Bane (rođen 1975. godine, gitara i vokal) i Rudolf Aleksić (bubnjevi). Aprila 1992. godine priključio im se gitarista Leonid Pilipović (rođen 1969. godine, ex Allegro), a radili su pod imenom Feniks 39.
Leta 1992. godine promenili su ime u Džukele, snimili pet svojih pesama i sa njima nastupali na Gitarijadi u Zaječaru 1993. godine. To im je obezbedilo prvu medijsku prezentaciju. Februara 1994. godine nastupali su na manifestaciji “Brzi bendovi Srbije”, gde su uz Gobline proglašeni za otkriće godine. Svoj rock’n’roll zasnovan na gitarskom zvuku zvanično su predstavili maja 1994. godine kada je izašla debi kaseta “Gledajući u mrak”. Sa nje su se izdvojile pesme “Most“, “Amerika“, “Energija” i “Ne mogu da pobegnem“. Autor tekstova je Bane Vukosavljević, a muziku su radili zajedno. Na debiju je “Opasan grad“, obrada pesme “Next To You” sa prvog albuma grupe Police. U temi “Amerika” upotrebili su pola stiha iz pesme “Pit i to je Amerika” sastava Azra. Novi materijal promovisali su na koncertima sve do decembra 1994. godine kada su Bane i Draža otišli u vojsku. Pauzirali su godinu dana, a Leonid Pilipović je prešao u Gobline i učestvovao na snimanju njihovog albuma “U magnovenju”. Decembra 1995. godine Džukele su nastavile sa radom u originalnoj postavi. Aprila 1996. godine na disku su kao reizdanje objavljene pesme sa kasete “Gledajući u mrak”. Krajem juna nastupali su na “Zgaga rock” festivalu u mestu Hotič pri Litji u blizini Ljubljane. Posle te svirke napustio ih je Rudolf Aleksić, a zamenio ga je Vlada Šarčević (ex Marseljeza). Sledeći CD “Zubato sunce” producirali su Džukele, Jan Šaš i Janez Križaj (ex Videosex). Prateće vokale otpevali su članovi grupa Atheist Rap, Goblini i Generacija bez budućnosti, a Slobodan Misailović je u pesmi “San” svirao čembalo. Koncert koji je održan 26. oktobra 1996. godine u KST-u kada su domaći sastavi svirali punk obrade, zabeležen je na CD-u “Punk You All” (Hi Fi Centar 1998.). Na njemu su se Džukele predstavile obradama “Durango 95” grupe Ramones i “Fenomen” Šarla akrobate.
Leonid Pilipović poznat je u javnosti pod imenom Leo fon Punkerstein a bavi se stripom, ilustracijama, grafikom, dizajnom i skicama za tattoo. Krajem 1996. godine diplomirao je na Fakultetu primenjenih umetnosti i dizajna u Beogradu. Prvi strip je objavio 1988. godine u listu “Mladost”. Radio je i za “Patak”, “Tron”, “Patagoniju” a objavljivao je i u većem broju domaćih fanzina. U Holandiji je zastupljen u antiratnim strip-izdanjima “Human dignity is vulnerable”, “Signed By War” i “Aut! No. 3” koje je kompilovao Novosađanin u egzilu Momir Stošić Moki . U Francuskoj je crtao stripove “Le Grand Jeu” i “Tajne istorije”. Samostalno je izlagao u Beogradu, Novom Sadu i Subotici a grupno u zemlji i inostranstvu. Radio je omote za diskove grupa Džukele, Električni orgazam (“Zašto da ne!”) i Goblini (“U magnovenju”). Po prestanku rada Džukela, prešao je u subotičku etno grupu Iskon. Slobodan Vukosavljević je 2004. godine pokrenuo sastav Nafta sa kojim je snimio CD “Samo senke prolaze” (Fokus 2008.).

DŽUKELE
The band Phoenix was formed in 1991 by Dragan Neorčić (bass guitar), Slobodan Vukosavljević (guitar, vocals), and Rudolf Aleksijević (drums). Together they recorded their first, seven-track demo at the Classic Studio, and a few months later, in February 1992, the band recorded yet another demo, featuring two songs. In April of the same year, former Allegro member Leonid Pilipović, also known as “Leo fon Punkerstein”, joined the band and, as Phoenix ’39, the band recorded their third demo recording, made in November at the Do-Re-Mi studio in Novi Sad. After the demo recording, the band was renamed to Džukele, and started performing live, including the 1993 Gitarijada festival in Zaječar, which was their first major live appearance, and, during February 1994, at the Brzi Bendovi Srbije Festival, where they were, along with Goblini, pronounced the greatest breakthrough of the year.
The band’s debut album Gledajući u mrak (Looking at the Dark), recorded on November 1993 at Do-Re-Mi studio, was released in May 1994 through Metropolis Records. On the album appeared the songs “Most” (“Bridge”), “Amerika” (America”), for which the band partially used the lyrics of Azra hit “Pit, i to je Amerika” (“Pete, That Is Also America”), “Energija” (“Energy”) and “Ne mogu da pobegnem” (“I Can’t Escape”). The album also featured a cover version of The Police hit “Next To You”, with lyrics in Serbian entitled “Opasan grad” (“Dangerous Town”). The lyrics for the album were written by Vukosavljević, and the whole band was working on the music writing and album production. The album was promoted until December 1994, when Neorčić and Vukosavljević went to the army and Pilipović joined Goblini.
After a one-year break, on December 1995, the original lineup reunited and, in June 1996, performed at Zgaga Rock festival at Hotič pri Litiji near Ljubljana, Slovenia. After the performance, Aleksijević left the band and was replaced by Marselyeza member Vladimir Šarčević. In the meantime, in April, Metropolis Records reissued Gledajući u mrak on CD. The band also prepared their second album, Zubato Sunce (Toothed Sunbeam), recorded during September and October 1997. The album, produced by the band themselves with the help of Nenad Drašković and former Videosex member Janez Križaj, featured ten songs and guest appearances by Atheist Rap, Goblini and Generacija Bez Budućnosti members on backing vocals. The track “San” (“A Dream”) featured cello, played by Slobodan Misailović, and the track “Sećanja” (“Memories”) was written by Nenad Drašković. The album artwork, like on the previous album, was done by Pilipović.
The band’s song “Umoran od tebe” (“Tiered of You”), originally released on the debut album, appeared on the Metropolis Records 1996 various artists compilation Ustani i kreni (Stand Up and Go), and, during the same year, their song “Amerika” appeared on the Kurvini sinovi: Protestne pesme (Sons of Whores: Protest Songs) Komuna Belgrade various artists compilation. Two years later, on October 26, 1998, the band performed at the Belgrade KST and their performance of The Ramones’ “Durango 95” and Šarlo Akrobata’s “Fenomen” (“Phenomenon”) were released on the various artists live album Punk You All, released by Hi-Fi Centar. The band continued their concert activities until they disbanded in 2002. In the meantime, Metropolis Records released the Metropolis vol.1 various artists compilation featuring the band’s song “Ne mogu da pobegnem”.
