After climbing to the top five artists in the 1001Tracklists Top 101 Producers ranking and making his Coachella debut in the Yuma Tent, GENESI brings an extended set to Knockdown Center on October 11th, 2026. Joining him is Brazilian talent WELKER, and local talent Chellzz b2b Gabz. 

The Italian DJ and producer has quickly become one of the most heavily supported new names in house and techno. His breakout record, “Everything You Have Done,” reached No. 1 on Beatport and is approaching 100 million cumulative streams, earning plays from many of the world’s leading touring DJs and introducing his sound to dance floors across the globe.

GENESI has followed that breakthrough with releases on Diynamic, REALM, Truesoul, and Disorder. His recent catalog includes the “Freak” EP with MEDUZA, his solo “Hyper” EP, and a remix of Linska’s “Bad Boy” that reached No. 1 on Beatport’s Melodic House & Techno chart. Supported by names including Anyma and Solomun, his productions move between melodic tension, forceful percussion, and heavy club grooves without staying locked into one genre.

Support comes from WELKER, a Brazilian-born producer now based in Los Angeles, whose music has already found its way into sets from Solomun, CamelPhat, Vintage Culture, Gordo, and Innellea. After being highlighted by BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong, WELKER is steadily building momentum as one of the scene’s next breakout names.

GENESI's rise in the studio has been matched by a growing presence behind the decks. GENESI has performed at Coachella, ARC Music Festival, Seismic Dance Event, and Hï Ibiza as part of MEDUZA and James Hype’s Our House series. He has also directly supported Solomun during Milan Fashion Week and brought his sets to major clubs across Europe and North America.

Everything You Have Done

Now, the extended format gives him room to stretch far beyond the limits of a standard festival appearance. Expect a patient build through deeper selections, unreleased music, peak-time records, and the harder side of his catalog as he takes control of one of New York’s most celebrated warehouse venues.

Join us at Knockdown Center on October 11 for an extended session with an artist entering the biggest chapter of his career so far.
