On Friday, October 2, 19:26 takes over Knockdown Center for what will be his biggest New York headline show to date, with more guests still to be announced.

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.

Now, he brings that energy to Knockdown Center for 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.
