DJ Psychogene discovered the sound of house music in 1988, while listening to a local radio show. A few years later he got his turntables and started mixin'. He played at private parties where he mastered his dj skills. In 1993 there wasn’t much going on in the Belgian techno scene. Noticing this, Psychogene decided to organise his own parties, NEUROLEPTIC®. After 8 years of existence, NEUROLEPTIC® became one of the most successful party organisation in Brussels, catering for the techno lovers, each party being a long awaited event.

More recently he played at the “Tresor Label Night” at silo (Leuven ) together with Blake Baxter, Ben Sims, Pacou, and other talented artists.

In 1999 he started the “madeinbrussels” parties. A monthly event which, due to its enormous success, became a weekly club night since june 2000.. Psychogene has played in all the major clubs in Belgium: Fuse, Food, Cherrymoon, Silo to name but a few .
