Fueled
by an enigmatic mystique, Jenö has remained one of San Francisco’s most
beloved and sought after DJs for over two decades. Developing a
passionate love for music from an early age he spent several years as a
punk musician & songwriter, before discovering djing and falling
into the vibrant London warehouse party scene of the mid 80s. Once Acid
House fever hit the UK, Jenö never looked back, becoming known for his
heady Whoosh parties, and his involvement in the early days of the
notorious Tonka Sound System.
Inspired by Tonka’s cheeky f**k the
rules attitude, and in search of a more psychedelic groove, Jenö, along
with his British cohorts Garth, Markie & Thomas headed to San
Francisco in the early 90s. This was the beginning of the now world
renowned Wicked Crew, who were instrumental in firing up the SF dance
music scene with their now legendary “Full Moon” parties. These wild
& free outdoor gatherings were the foundation for an eclectic and
soulful underground dance scene, and the driving force of the growing
rave community on the West Coast.
By the mid 90s, Jenö‘s musical
talents and commitment to the dance floor had helped inspire and define a
new “San Francisco sound,” bringing international attention to the
city’s burgeoning dance music scene. With all eyes on San Francisco, DMC
sought out Jenö’s talents for a mix on their prestigious CD series
“United DJs of America.” Joining the ranks of legends Frankie Knuckles,
David Morales, Little Louie Vega and Doc Martin, he put together a mix
of fresh local music and classic house sounds that helped put San
Francisco firmly on the dance music map.
In 1995, he and the
Wicked Crew took things to the next level, importing a custom made Tony
Andrews designed Turbosound system from the UK. With Wicked very much in
demand there was nothing else to do but hit the road, piling into a
beautifully restored 1947 Grayhound bus with their own band of merry
pranksters, delivering their soulful psychedelic sounds with a
rock’n’roll attitude that took the U.S by storm. The touring continued
through the late 90s, including some unforgettable stops at Burning Man,
Reggae on the River, and even a Jane’s Addiction concert in
2001.
As
the new millennium approached, Jenö took his talents to the studio and
began producing his own unique take on dance music. He met all
expectations with several remixes on fellow Wicked DJ Garth’s Greyhound
label, including the internationally acclaimed “Stormy Weather” remix of
Rocket’s “People.” This was followed by remixes on Cheeky, Turnaround
Sound, NRK & others. Jenö’s production talents aren’t limited to the
dance floor, having worked on some dark brooding indie music in recent
years, and currently producing live acid house for his monthly “Cult of
the
Acid House” party.
In 2004, Wicked disbanded after 13 years
of amazing collaboration. Undeterred Jenö and Garth have kept the
spirit alive with their regular Back2Back appearances up and down the
West Coast; a fun loving and boundary pushing musical romp through the
last 40 years of dance music. In 2011, Wicked reformed with a “Twenty
Years of Disco Glory,” reunion tour encompassing 13 cities across the
country. The success of the tour has put a vital missing piece back into
the global dance community.
Jenö’s mythical mixing talents
have translated far and wide with a diverse international cult
following. He has demonstrated these talents on the decks in the premier
clubs across the globe, including the legendary Twilo in NYC, The End,
Fabric & Ministry of Sound in London, Unit in Tokyo and the Rex Club
in Paris. Jenö continues to perform & present music with a unique
and psychedelic perspective, djing regularly again across the US, as
well as hosting his own musically mischievous cult radio show – Noise
from the Void, broadcast bi-monthly with the changing cycle from Full
Moon & New Moon.
