On June 2, we've got our next Doubleheader event going down on The Roof of Superior Ingredients with two legit veterans of the global house music scene, Gene Farris and Matthias Tanzmann. Gene and Matthias are in a league of their own in the house music sphere. Equally talented, they've both had an immeasurable influence on the electronic music landscape. We can't wait to share another epic day of house music with these two stalwarts of the scene high above the streets of Brooklyn.



Born and raised in Chicago, Gene Farris cut his teeth in Chicago's infamous early 90s warehouse party scene. There's no question that Gene has always been at the forefront of house music. In fact, he was recruited by Godfather of House, Frankie Knuckles, to become one of the first residents at his club, the Power House. In the decades that have followed, Gene has remained on the cutting edge of house while always paying homage and respect to its roots.




A set from Gene is an education and an invitation to release your inhibitions. His catalog delves deep into the history of the genre. It includes some of Defected's earliest releases, collaborations with Green Velvet alias Cajual, and a litany of rock-solid groovers on his taste-making imprint, Farris Wheel Recordings. Launched in 1996, he's released hits from legends like Paul Johnson and Ron Carrol alongside beats from today's hottest talent, including Will Clarke, Sonny Fodera, J. Worra, MISS DRE, and Max Low.



Like Gene, Matthias is a certified legend of the scene. He got his start after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Living in Leipzig (formerly in East Germany) he helped form the foundation of the dance music scene. In 2000 he formed Moon Harbour Recordings, a label that continues to shape and define deep and tech house.




Not only is he part of the trio Better Lost Than Stupid with Martin Buttrich and Davide Squillace, Matthias is a staple of the global club circuit. He's made the walls seat from Ultra Miami to Tomorrowland, the Brooklyn Mirage to his many appearances across Ibiza. And now he's returning to New York to rock the floor alongside Gene Farris for you at Superior Ingredients.




Doubleheader allows two artists with similar sounds but divergent audiences to share sonic space. Each artist will electrify the dancefloor with a solo set, then join forces for a rare and thrilling B2B to close the evening.

SPINALL is synonymous with Afrobeat in the celebrated artists' native Nigeria. In fact, in recent years, he's become the poster boy for the genre well beyond the borders of The Continent, championing the sound globally. On June 4, the multi-award-winning DJ, producer, and songwriter will electrify The Roof of Superior Ingredients with his high-energy, uplifting sound powered by his African heritage.




If you need confirmation that SPINALL knows how to throw down, look no further than his lauded brand TheCAP. Named for the signature Yoruba cap he always wears, it also doubles as an acronym for Crazy Ass Party, a common phrase uttered by fans after leaving a SPINALL set. TheCAP has remained a sign of musical excellence for over a decade and has become a global event series and record label.






Initially rising to prominence on Nigerian national radio in 2004, SPINALL is a jack of all trades in the music industry. As a producer, he's continually risen the ranks with each of his five albums. His breakthrough third album, Dreams, dropped in 2017 on TheCAP Music. It boldly declared his powerhouse status in Nigeria and beyond, featuring many of the most notable afrobeat artists, including Wizkid, Mr Eazi, Davido, Wande Coal, and Olamide.




Dreams catapulted him to international acclaim. In 2017 he was the official DJ for the BET International Awards, and embarked on a worldwide tour that took him from South Africa to London and the United States, where he was the first African DJ to perform at SXSW in Austin, Texas. He's continued to dominate the global festival scene with bookings at Coachella, Glastonbury, and recently opening for Bruno Mars in Sydney. His influence is so powerful that Harvard Business School invited him to speak at the 26th Annual Africa Accelerated Conference.

His latest album, TOP BOY, was released in February and features a plethora of superstar collaborators such as 6LACK, Tay Iwar, and DJ Snake. It's yet another example of the diversity and reach of SPINALL's unique and compelling sound. With over 50M streams, it's a runaway hit, as evidenced by his recent headlining performance of "Power" at the 2022 MTV EMAs in Germany.


As the global impact of Afrobeat continues, it's a pleasure to bring one of Nigeria's foremost talents in the genre to The Roof at Superior Ingredients.

The Roof boasts stunning views of the city skyline in the heart of Williamsburg. Located at 74 Wythe, the former home of Output, it's the perfect venue to soak up the vibrant energy of Brooklyn's music scene. With SPINALL at the helm, providing a soundtrack that transcends borders and brings people together through the power of rhythm, the evening promises picturesque sunset vistas and unforgettable moments on the dancefloor.

The weekend starts early at Pure Pacha with Robin Schulz.

Pacha’s in-house party is back for week 2 of its 18-week summer residency on Thursday June 8 - and you’re invited!

Returning this season to weave his magic on the decks is none other than Robin Schulz, the German maestro who has become synonymous with the heartbeat of Pure Pacha.

Schulz, once an undercard talent opening for David Guetta at his F*** Me I’m Famous nights, has now found his rightful place as the key architect of Pacha's iconic Thursday nights.



Get ready to immerse yourselves in the music under Pacha's infamous red cherries. The evening promises a genre-blurring mix of upbeat house and dance music, designed to keep you dancing all night long.

Following in the steps of legendary figures like Bob Sinclar, Martin Solveig, and Pete Tong, Schulz’s reign at Pure Pacha promises an irresistible blend of infectious energy and feel-good vibes.



Beyond the music, Pure Pacha is also famed for its spectacular décor and lavish ambience. The experience is not just about the music, but about immersing yourself in an atmosphere that epitomises the essence of Pacha – vibrant, energetic and gloriously decadent. It's not just a party, it's a spectacle, it's an emotion, and it's all part of Ibiza's rich heritage.

This year is a special milestone for Pacha Ibiza, as they are celebrating their 50th anniversary. Over five decades, Pacha has been a pioneer in Ibiza's nightlife scene, evolving from a small countryside finca to a global brand. Its longevity is a testament to its ability to adapt, innovate and, above all, deliver unforgettable experiences.



So, don your dancing shoes and join us under the cherries for a night of awe-inspiring entertainment at Pure Pacha. Remember, it's not just about one night, it's about a summer of unforgettable moments. The residency is running for an incredible 18 weeks, from June 1 to October 5, so there are plenty of opportunities to join.

Pure Pacha is more than a party – it's a vibe, it's a feeling, and it's an essential part of the Ibiza clubbing scene.

Let’s check out the lineup for June 8.

Robin Schulz, the DJ, and producer who burst onto the scene in 2014 with his Grammy-nominated remix “Waves”, has built his career since then and is now a celebrated figure in electronic music.

From his humble beginnings at 17 to hosting his club night by 20, Schulz has never stopped evolving. With Pure Pacha, he's all set to leave an indelible imprint on the summer of 2023.



Recognized globally as an iconic member of the most popular girl group in history, the Spice Girls, Melanie C holds a special place in the hearts of music lovers. Her captivating charisma and talent have not only sustained her fame but also propelled her into a successful solo career.

Over time, Melanie C has proven her versatility by seamlessly transitioning into DJing. Her tasteful music selections, technical skills, and innate understanding of audience preferences have helped her carve out a niche in the electronic music industry.



Magnificence, once a duo, but now headed as a solo project by Robin Klaver, sprung into the forefront of electronic music when their tracks were played by Swedish House Mafia at their reunion show at Ultra. Signed to some of the best record labels on the planet, including Axtone, STMPD and Epic247, you know you’ll be in good hands on the Pacha dancefloor.



Mr Doris is a globally-recognised DJ and producer, who has held residencies at some of the world's biggest and best venues such as Space and Pacha in Ibiza and London’s Soundcrash as well as residencies for brands such as Glitterbox, Magic Door and Defected.

Entering the summer festival circuit this season, Otium Festival is a brand-new event by experience creators Kingdom of Mind. The destination festival hosts an array of electronic artists across the sprawling Taghazout Bay shoreline in Morocco. The African festival welcomes attendees from around the world to immerse themselves in music, nature, food, and adventure. Alongside two days of music, festival-goers can also enjoy excursions and activities like surfing on the famous Moroccan coastline, digging into the mouthwatering regional cuisine, admiring art installations, partaking in wellness rituals like yoga, and exploring the world-famous scenery.

The inaugural Otium Festival takes place in Taghazout Bay on June 9-10, 2023, featuring performances from dozens of electronic artists.

We're excited to announce our very first 2023 Summer show, and it's with none other than one of our day ones—our brother Will Clarke, and he's bringing some special guests along for a seven-hour journey at the historic Knockdown Center. The massive venue's open-air space, The Ruins, are the perfect locale to bask in that beautiful New York summer glow, while soaking up the sounds of Will's funky techno.









Over the last several years, Clarke has firmly established a trademark sound within the techno realm. Warehouse rattling funk with a touch of rave. A fan of dance music since before he was a teenager and a Dj for almost as long, Will Clarke has been in more clubs than one could count. Yet, he hopes to build a bridge to take dance music beyond the club. He told Gray Area, “I think the thing with dance music is that a lot of the time, it’s just for the club. And that’s absolutely fine. I think clubs have a real important place in our lives. But I think there’s actually more to [dance] music than just the clubs. I'm trying to write songs that have a bit of a meaning.”



While Will could have looked at the pandemic as a break from the rampant release schedules and revolving tour diaries, he pressed on working harder than ever to continue his mission of bringing something of meaning to the world. He created the Will Clarke Podcast. A favorite amongst industry heads and fans, it's a platform for Will to engage in long-form conversations with dance music favorites and those on the come up. Guests like MK, Chris Lake, Kevin Saunderson, HoneyLuv, Sam Divine, Duke Dumont, and Sohmi have all shared incredible and personal stories with Will. It's a testament to his skills as a brilliant communicator on and off the dancefloor.







Started shortly before the pandemic, his Beatport Top 100 best-selling label, All We Have is Now, continues to flourish. It has emerged as one of the genre's most sought-after imprints, with artists like Shermanology, MK, Matt Sassari, and Avision sharing space on the diverse roster. The label's releases prove dancefloors can be moved with purpose and intention. His own releases on the label, like "Hallelujah," featuring the incomparable voice of Candi Stanton, are the most heavily supported tracks of his career. And they signify that his audience fully supports his vision.



That's not to say Will has blinders on. On the contrary, his hectic touring schedule has taken him around the world several times over the last two years. From Chicago to Ibiza, the UK to Miami, Will is dropping heat at some of the best clubs and most notable festivals in the world, including Club Space, ADE, Amnesia, DC-10 for Patrick Topping's Trick, Electric Zoo, and Movement Detroit.





We're excited to host the next step in Will's creative evolution as he steps out front to bring his unique slant on techno and his expert curation to a very special headlining experience.



SUPPORT

Will has hand selected a fantastic selection of artists to help lead this seven-hour journey through house and techno. Since 2007 Tuscany-born, Barcelona-based Marco Faraone has been blasting the system with his explosive blend of peak-hour techno and house music. In 2022 not only did he blaze up the Ibiza season with a string of monumental performances on Amnesia's legendary Terrace, he completely changed the game as a producer. With blistering releases on Defected, Filth on Acid, Drumcode, and his own UNCAGE imprint, he's quickly moved from promising up-and-comer to one of the most recognized names in underground dance.



Filling out the bill is New York clubland staple Dalton Taylor. His performances at Avant Garnder, Le Bain, and Elsewhere (among others) fuse the sounds of classic dance with new school sensibilities. We loved his sets when he played for us, previously opening for Archie Hamilton and Will Clarke, and can't wait to see how get's things going this time around.
