On October 12th, The Room of Superior Ingredients brings together three standout names in minimal and house for a night of forward-thinking sounds: James Wyler, Chesster, and ANATTA.

James Wyler — Born in New Jersey and now rooted in Brooklyn, Wyler fuses his love for jazz, drums, and hip-hop with the stripped-back textures of Romanian minimal. With releases on respected labels like Solid Grooves Raw, Whippin, and Rawthentic—and support from names such as Michael Bibi, Marco Carola, and ANOTR—Wyler is carving out his place at the front of the minimal tech movement.

ANATTA — Since his 2020 debut, ANATTA has become one of minimal house’s most prolific producers, dropping more than 60 tracks and securing multiple #1 chart positions. As the founder of ILLUSTRATE, he’s built a platform for boundary-pushing house while keeping his own sound personal, blending European precision with American groove.

Chesster — Hailing from Venice and shaped by time in London, Chesster’s sound carries shades of house, disco, hip hop, and UK garage. Now based in Los Angeles, he tours widely across Europe and the U.S. while releasing on labels like PIV, Factory 93, and Dansu Discs. With the launch of his label Blink in 2025, he’s continuing to push refined, quality house music forward.

Underground Ways

Join us for a night where Brooklyn meets Venice, London, and LA—a cross-section of the global house underground inside one of the city’s most forward-thinking venues.

Doubleheader

Gray Area is pioneering the "Doubleheader" event series, drawing inspiration from back-to-back baseball games to showcase artists with similar styles but unique fan bases. By having one artist follow another and culminating in a collaborative back-to-back (B2B) set, Doubleheader aims to create a powerful platform for musical discovery and cross-pollination. Embracing the "B2B" spirit, the initiative seeks to introduce audiences to new sounds while strengthening the dance music ecosystem.
