On Friday, October 2nd, 19:26 takes over Knockdown Center for what will be his biggest New York headline show to date joined by Woo York, Layla Benitez, Belladonna (ofc), and Melissa XYZ b2b L9. 

Set inside one of Queens’ most storied industrial spaces, the night marks a major moment for the Italian artist born Raffaele Sorrentini. Originally built more than 150 years ago as a door factory, Knockdown Center has since become one of the city’s defining homes for underground electronic music. Its raw architecture, towering ceilings, and warehouse scale make it the perfect setting for 19:26’s emotionally charged sound and late night intensity.

Since launching the project in Milan in 2019, 19:26 has become one of melodic techno’s most talked about names. With releases on Afterlife, Siamese, Zamna, Oddity, Atlant, and Fayer, his music has earned support from Tale Of Us, Tiësto, Fideles, Camelphat, and more. Tracks like “XX,” “Reserva,” and “Mental Obsession” have become staples across festival stages and dark club rooms alike, balancing cinematic tension with deep melodic detail.

His rise has taken him from intimate clubs to some of the most recognized stages in dance music, including Space Miami, Hï Ibiza, Ushuaïa, Ziggo Dome, Zamna Tulum, Avant Gardner, and a landmark performance at the Pyramids of Giza alongside MRAK. Whether performing solo or collaborating with artists like Yubik, Animal Picnic, and MRAK, 19:26 continues to shape a sound rooted in emotion, atmosphere, and control.

Raised between Naples and Abruzzo, Sorrentini has often spoken about drawing inspiration from outside club music, pulling influence from ambient records, film scores, and experimental compositions. That depth comes through in both his productions and DJ sets, which are known for patient builds, heavy tension, and moments that hit hardest deep into the night.

Also joining 19:26 is Ukrainian duo Woo York, a live act known for performing entirely with hardware, drum machines, synths, and live equipment rather than relying on a conventional DJ setup. 

Their sets move between hypnotic house, melodic techno, and heavier club material, with tracks built and reshaped in real time on stage. With releases on Afterlife, Drumcode, Innervisions, Soma, and Dystopian, Woo York have played a major role in the rise of melodic techno while maintaining a strong presence across clubs and festivals worldwide.

The project of German born producer Nico Chiara, better known as Belladonna joins the Passage Between Worlds event. After years producing for major artists across Europe and the U.S., Chiara launched Belladonna as a project fully centered on his own music, bringing together melodic techno, hip hop influence, and darker club textures. 

His breakout track “WHERE I’M FROM” with Cassian and Script became the most played track at Zamna Tulum before reaching No. 1 on Beatport’s Melodic House & Techno chart, earning support from Anyma, Tale Of Us, CamelPhat, Massano, Tiësto, and more. Since debuting live in 2024, Belladonna has performed across Europe alongside artists including ARTBAT, Rebūke, and Korolova, pairing his music with a strong visual world built around cinematic storytelling and immersive live production.

Layla Benitez arrives as one of the most recognizable names in contemporary club culture. Raised in New York and now based in Miami, she has developed a sound shaped by years spent between underground rooms and major festival stages. Her rise has included standout appearances at Coachella, Circoloco, Afterlife, The Warehouse Project, EXIT, Tomorrowland, and Mayan Warrior, along with a defining residency at Space Miami.

19:26 brings a special energy to Knockdown Center with a headline performance built for techno fans who want more than quick drops and short attention spans. Expect a full room, immersive sound, and a set designed to unfold from start to finish.
