Washington DC based vinyl only label committed to all things groove based.

Hibiku Underground and Enman Recordings founder, DJ, and producer G.E.N.E has long been a respected figurehead in the U.S. underground and beyond. 

With thirty-six years of DJing experience under his belt, it’s safe to say G.E.N.E knows exactly how to command a dance floor and sculpt a set that reflects both his depth of knowledge and his finely tuned sonic palette. Born in Washington D.C. and later relocating to Southern California in the 90s, G.E.N.E became a driving force within a burgeoning underground scene that was fast emerging as one of America’s most vital hotspots. 

After establishing himself behind the decks, it was only natural that G.E.N.E would turn his hand to production. Today, he stands at the helm of both Hibiku Underground Recordings and Enman Recordings, where he released his vinyl-only Mayonaka Jam EP. His music has earned the support of renowned tastemakers including Mule Musiq’s Kuniyuki Takahashi, Panorama Bar’s Paramida, deep house luminaries Rick Wade and Brawther, and iconic figures such as John Digweed, Jimpster, H-Foundation, Steve Bug, Traumer, and Jamie Jones. This widespread acclaim is a testament to G.E.N.E’s craft, producing intricate, floor-focused works that bridge generations of DJs while paying timeless homage to the roots of house and techno.
