GENESI takes over Knockdown Center on October 11 for an extended set built to move through the full range of his sound.
The Italian DJ and producer has become one of the most heavily supported new names in house and techno. In 2025, he climbed to No. 5 in the 1001Tracklists Top 101 Producers ranking, up from No. 44 the year before. His breakout record “Everything You Have Done” reached No. 1 on Beatport and is approaching 100 million cumulative streams, putting his music in sets around the world.
Since then, GENESI has kept the momentum moving with releases across Diynamic, REALM, Truesoul, and Disorder. His recent catalog includes the “Freak” EP with MEDUZA, the solo “Hyper” EP, and a remix of Linska’s “Bad Boy” that reached No. 1 on Beatport’s Melodic House & Techno chart. His records have drawn support from artists including Anyma and Solomun while connecting melodic tension, driving percussion, and heavy club grooves.
Behind the decks, GENESI has played Coachella’s Yuma Tent, ARC Music Festival, Seismic Dance Event, and Hï Ibiza, where he became a regular at MEDUZA and James Hype’s Our House residency. He has also supported Solomun during Milan Fashion Week and brought his sound to major clubs across Europe and North America.
On October 11, the extended format gives GENESI room to go deeper, build slowly, and stretch beyond the limits of a standard festival set. Expect a long-form club-ready session inside Knockdown Center, one of New York’s defining warehouse venues.
