DJ Gene Hunt

House Music DJ and Producer. Chicago, IL.

Bio: On any given night in Chicago, it’s more likely than not that DJ Gene Hunt is somewhere, crouched over the decks and working his magic. One of the true representatives of Chicago House Music, Gene Hunt (DJ) is one of the top artists to emerge from the city, with a career spanning back to the initial wave in the early 1980s. As a teenager, Gene played at many of the key touchstones of the first generation of House Music spots, including the Warehouse, The Playground and The Music Box; he’s been best known in the last few years for a series of tracks made then with the legendary Ron Hardy.

As a producer, Gene Hunt’s first EP was Living in a Land, released on Chicago’s Trax Records and co-produced and shepherded by Armando Gallop. From an early age, Gene imprinted his stamp on his musical style with an alteration between soulful, vocal recordings and harder, rough tech-y tracks. (And sometimes both in the same release – see, for instance, “Twilight People” featuring Robert Owens on vocals). By 1999 he had more than enough releases on his belt for a “Greatest Hits” double LP (Gene Hunt Classics, Dust Traxx).
