Prepare for a big BLUE night as we welcome a special act from the UK to our Blue event series on the Roof of Superior Ingredients. Lauren Lo Sung takes over on July 21st for a special sunset set. From Ibiza’s legendary decks to the underground scenes of Berlin and London, Lauren has been making significant moves.

Our BLUE concept is quickly gaining recognition for its dedication to showcasing day-time, open-air parties that boast every dimension of house music.

Each BLUE event promises to create unique and unforgettable memories, so don't miss this extraordinary night at one of NYC's most sought-after venues, The Roof of S-I. This night is not to be missed by anyone who appreciates a top-tier skyline and sunset view of Manhattan, a disco ball beaming off the retractable glass rooftop, and overall, a great time dancing with friends with a bev in hand and proper class in music.

As a Liverpool native, Lauren is not just a DJ but also a prolific producer and label boss who thrives on deep, groovy house music that promises to keep you moving all night. Her impressive discography includes releases on prominent labels such as PIV, Shall Not Fade, and her own LOLiFE Records and e1even records, bringing a blend of groovy house, summery garage, and shadowy dub sounds.

Lauren has regularly played iconic venues including Manchester's Warehouse Project in the UK, Fabric London, Watergate in Berlin, DC-10 in Ibiza, Crobar in Argentina, and Club Space in Miami. A self-taught DJ, she started her own event series at 18 and was a resident DJ for TRMNL in Birmingham and had regular appearances at Circus in Liverpool. One of her biggest breaks was playing direct support for Carl Cox at the famous Space Ibiza. What a remarkable background!

Joining Lauren for the fun is Italian maestro, 

! Yaya has been a respected figure in the music industry for many years. His label,

, a leading name in the minimal/deep tech genre, showcased its unique Afro-Latin sound at our event last year with Manda Moor. This time, he’s going back-to-back with another talented artist, UK’s Cristina Lazic!

Yaya’s brand and label feature music from artists like Luuk Van Dijk, Loco Dice, Cuartero, Fleur Shore, Mason Collective, Josh Baker, Prunk, and many more, all reflecting Yaya's groove-driven sound. The Italian sensation has made his mark on the global stage with performances at BPM Festival, Pacha Ibiza, Sunwaves Festival, and Boiler Room, to name a few.

One Way - Cuartero Remix

Another lovely addition to the lineup is the one and only Spanish DJ and producer Cuartero. Apart from having releases on major house music labels such as Hot Creations, Desolat, Moon Harbor, and Cuttin’ Headz, Cuartero is also the founder of his own brand Sanity and Cuartero Concept.

Cuartero has closed out Amnesia Ibiza, and he earned titles such as Best Newcomer DJ at the DJ Awards in 2015, along with Best Tech House Artist and Artist of the Year at the Vicious Music Awards in subsequent years, among others. Recently, he has performed at some of the world's biggest parties including Kappa Futur Festival, Ushuaia Ibiza, el row Amsterdam, and many more.

Born in Italy, raised in London, and now based in Milan, Cristina Lazic has made a mark in the music scene over the past five years. Performing at iconic venues like Hï Ibiza and Koko, her stripped-back house music has been released on labels such as Crosstown Rebels and Moxy Muzik. Supported by BBC Radio 1 and Ibiza Global, Cristina's deep house and groovy minimal tunes aim to make people dance.

With all these exciting artists added to the Blue party, this event is going to be an unforgettable experience filled with incredible music and energy.  We're stoked to see you on the dance floor!

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.
