Biography

Gene Hoffmann’s sound is constantly evolving. After flirtations with everything from acid techno to psychedelic trance in the late 90’s; Gene now finds himself spinning music with predominant techno, minimal, house and electro flavors.

Playing his sets using Final Scratch and Ableton, Gene is comfortable playing on 2 or 3 turntables; often fusing his minimal techno styled sets with quirky acid, tough house, glitchy electro or dark and dirty bass driven beats. All of what he plays is geared towards the dancefloor, and Gene is happy to experiment and cross genres during a set if the end product is complementary, entertaining and unique.

As an enthusiastic supporter of the Melbourne techno scene, Gene has drawn his influences from local Melbourne DJ’s including Slack, Slieker, Sam McEwin and Mike Callander and International DJ’s and producers such as Cari Lekebusch, Speedy J, Adam Beyer, Richie Hawtin, Jesper Dahlback and Luke Slater.

After an apprenticeship playing house parties, outdoor events and pub/club gigs around Victoria, Gene founded Panic Stricken Bovine in 2000 and began running dance parties alongside ‘Decimal’ Dan Rachele and Matt Van Diemen. The Bovines ran many big and small scale events around the state, and are probably best known for their Wild Things 2 party, which attracted 4,000 party goers to Kryal Castle.

Gene has played around the globe; making noise at full moon parties in Thailand, discotheques in Indonesia and squat parties in the UK. He has played on invitation at Australia’s biggest and best dance music festivals; including Earthcore, Two Tribes, Enchanted Forest, AdventJah and Hardware events. Over one hundred thousand electronic music fans worldwide have downloaded his online DJ mixes.

Gene has been a regular guest on Australian radio and he has supported the very biggest names in the dance music business; including Richie Hawtin, Adam Beyer, The Advent, Chris Liebing, Joel Mull, Oliver Ho, Magda, The Hacker, David Carretta, Adam Jay, Tiga, Miss Kittin, The Prodigy, The Crystal Method, Slam, Blackstrobe, Mike Humphries, Heiko Laux, Lawrie Immersion, Thomas Schumacher, Deetron, Ben Sims, DJ Misjah and many more…
