Hunter Laine's journey in the world of music started in Tokyo, but it was in New York City that he truly made a name for himself. After relocating to the city in 1988, he immersed himself in the vibrant club scene, frequenting places like Tunnel, Palladium, Nell's, MK, and many others.
In the early 1990s, Hunter established himself as a renowned DJ in NYC with a five-year residency at the legendary nightclub, Nell's. This club was a hot spot for celebrities such as Madonna, Prince, Grace Jones, Hugh Grant, Queen Latifah, and many others. Nell's was also featured in music videos and movies like "American Psycho" and "Rounders."
Throughout his career, Hunter has worked with some of the key players in the NYC club scene, including the owners, managers, and promoters of Studio 54 (Original), Palladium (Original), Club USA, Kit Kat Club, China Club (New), Life, Lotus, Restaurant 147, Discotheque, BLVD, Wonder Bar, and more. He held a residency at Decade Night Club, which Time Out Magazine referred to as "The Best Sexually Mixed Party in NYC." He also had a notable residency at BLVD, which was known for being one of the biggest upscale parties in the city.
In recent years, Hunter has had successful events at Pianos and was part of the official lineup at Halcyon for Output. In 2018, he made the lineup for TBA Brooklyn. Currently, he holds a residency at SAMUI Brooklyn, a popular spot among the hip crowd in NYC.
