hi everyone.
I’ve been djing actively for ~12 years now as Dj Genki, started off with early forms of psy-trance and also been into rough breakbeats and tech-dnb during the years. I represent a label called Exogenic in Finland (www.exogenic.com ). An example of my mixing can be found behind the following link:

Please let me know if youre interested in meeting up or booking me. I am also ready to provide a lot of our music as promos or such.
My Bio:
Aimed for the most cinematic, destructive, bowel-shaking, mind altering
sounds known to man (or machine), Dj Genki is set to move and shake this
deteriorating planet of ours with each set he plays. Not happy with settling
down to only some styles of music, he caters the unexpected yet keeps the
flow uninterrupted and true to the moment. Some of the styles he prefers are
hardcore breakbeats, chunky house, high-octane psytrance and drum’n bass in
its various forms.
An integral part of several music-related crews in Finland, Genki has always
acted towards open communication across different musical scenes. Also as an
A&R person for Exogenic Music Group, Genki has had his hands in many strange
soups that have been brewed in this cold, dark country. He started in 1993
at the tender age of 17, playing the early forms of industrial / psy-sounds
in mostly illegal bush gatherings and warehouse parties.
In the early 90’s, the electronic dance music scene in Finland was very
young and still searching its form. This was the era of mad parties and
outlaw action in the finnish capital, Helsinki, and the people going to the
parties were die-hard ravers who protested loudly if (and often when) the
police came to stop a party in deserted factories, deep northern forests or
wherever the organizers managed to pile up a stack of speakers and get a
home-made decor up in a couple of hours.
The underground party scene of Helsinki underwent a drastic change in the
mid 90’s, due to an unfortunate accident at a warehouse party that was held
in the sixth floor of a building. After that, the police wouldn’t condone
any activities without permits and official measures taken. Soon the crews
would find ways to make the activities seem perfectly legal and the bush
gatherings flourished again. Genki was playing in many of these events and
dragged many speakers to many vans after them. He also helped to spread the
music of the budding Finnish artists to other countries as well as hosting
people from abroad while they were on their excursions in Finland.
1998 marked as one of the main turning points for Genki’s djing career. He
went for a 6 month trip to Australia and heard many of the local dj’s
playing all kinds of music mixed together in the parties there, instead of
the generic order of playing just one or two styles of music during the
night. This journey also lit his interest in rough drum n bass and dirty
breakbeats, which became his main interests after drifting away from the
psytrance scene… Just to return to it after 8 years of intensive breakbeat
schooling.
The future is always open for this guy, and there is no way of telling what
he might be up to next. These years have taken him and his music from almost
every city or town in Finland to countries like France, Australia, Japan,
Sweden, Latvia, Estonia and Germany. He's had the privilege of playing with
such acts as Pendulum, Raja Ram, Eat Static, Dom&Roland, Aquasky, Plump Dj's, Dieselboy,
Underworld Dj’s, Chris Liebing, TeeBee, Matrix, Klute, )E|B( and many, many
others.
No genres, no boundaries, just pure, unadulterated music. |
