| Gene King "Genetix" |
Growing up in Montreal during the 70’s and the 80’s, Gene was influenced by a lot of
sounds from his environment such as Calypso, Reggae, Latin, Soul and Rock.
Being surrounded by music all the time gave him the urge to learn to play an instrument. In
1978, Gene discovered DJing and started playing high school dances and The Skadium
roller rink, at the age of 13.
From 1982 to 1987, he played at various dance clubs all over Montreal including: Horizon
club,Astre 5,Centre de Danse, Limelight, Septembers, Le Flirt, L’arnaque 2, Puzzles & L’
enjeu, among others. Relocating to Toronto in 1987, Gene played at smaller clubs and
special events, until working steady gigs, doing parties for local promoters & working
bigger clubs like: Berlin, Big Bop, Casablanca, Klub Max, Whiskey Saigon, Tonic, Roxy
Blu and Hush Lounge.
On the Production side, from 1991 to the present, Gene King has remixed and produced
music for numerous labels like: Contraband, A&M, BMG, KMS, Defender, Slip N’Slide,
Debut, Hi-Bias, Warner , Easy Street, Ultrasound and most recently Philosophie Music
and Shelter. For artitsts: Claudja Barry, Kairene, TLC, Wild Strawberries, De’Lacy and
most recently, Black Masses.
In 1993 he co-founded Contraband records with Carlos Clarke (For a more complete list

In October 2005 He founded Shines Records which later on spawned another label
Plusgroove records . Putting out favourites like “Sunrise-Genetix Ft. Shanchoy, Suges ft
Limore –Do with You and many others….
While busy in the studio and Djing at the downtown clubs, Gene also became a
programmer for CKLN.88.1 FM in 1993 – DJ’ing for Midnight Madness, now known as
Soul Fusion Express. A year after the name change, Gene King started his own show,
Vibes N’ Vinyl ,which airs every Friday night/Saturday Morning on the same station and
