Gene Lefosse [Convolute / Counterbalance / Cocoon : NYC]

If you remember Program 2 then you know what Gene (Gennaro) LeFosse is all about. Gene has been in the techno scene since techno first emerged in New York in the early 90’s. As program 2 he produced club anthems like “Dominator”, “The Omen” and “Twister”. At this time he was signed to Vortex Records and was a resident performer at Limelight (NYC), when Jeff Mills was a resident DJ. Gene remixed legendary groups like Yello, Orbital and Human Resource.

In 1992 Gene was signed to major label Sire Records/Warner Bros. and released the album “Robotix”. The next few years Gene was busy working on all different types of electronic music. He also started DJing again. In 1998 his Djing picked up. He spent most of 1998 and 1999 spinning in Europe. He traveled to Love Parade in Germany, the Vision Party in the Swiss Alps and Techno Parade in France. His set is combination of funky grooves and tribal techno. He has spun along side Sven Vath, Carl Cox, Jeff Mills, Adam Byer, Dave Clark, Misstress Barbara and Oliver Ho.

In 2000 Gene started his own label, Convolute Recordings. His first three releases “Spank Me”, “Night Walker” and "Peyote which were all supported and played by Danny Tenaglia, Sven Vath and Jeff Mills.

In 2001 Gene received a call from Sven Vath approving the release of Gene's remix of Strahlemann Sohne. He also has releases on Tension Records, and has released an E.P on Surgeon’s record label Counter Balance, UK, and an E.P on Laurent Ho’s UWE record labels.

His music has been used for various licensing deals with MTV and other media projects. The most challenging project Gene has undertaken is the remix of Jennifer Lopez's song "Play" and Jamiroquai’s "You Give Me Something". Although Gene mainly produces techno, he is able to take "commercial" sounding tracks and give them his own flavor.

Currently Gene is waiting on the vocal tracks from Tori Amos, for her next single release on Sony Music.
