BLUE: Pretty Pink, Rodriguez Jr. [Hybrid Live]

On Sunday, October 19th, the rooftop of Superior Ingredients becomes the setting for a special night that’s part of our beloved BLUE Series, featuring two internationally celebrated figures in melodic house and techno: Rodriguez Jr. and Pretty Pink.

Rodriguez Jr., the solo alias of French producer Olivier Mateu, has spent over two decades refining a sound that fuses analog textures with melodic structure. A former protégé of Laurent Garnier and one half of The Youngsters, Mateu first made his mark on F-Communications before evolving into one of the most distinctive live performers in electronic music. His work has landed on Anjunadeep, Mobilee, Armada, and his own label Feathers & Bones, and he's been called upon to remix artists like Stephan Bodzin, Röyksopp, Jan Blomqvist, Monolink, and Eli & Fur.

His live sets—crafted in real-time using vintage hardware—have taken over iconic stages including Cercle Festival, Movement Detroit, CRSSD, Zamna Tulum, fabric London, and Burning Man, where he’s built a reputation for blurring the line between performance and improvisation.

Rodriguez Jr.'s album Feathers & Bones marked another milestone, leading to collaborations with luxury brands like Mercedes-Maybach and viral success with tracks like Destination Lost featuring Jan Blomqvist. Through his long-standing partnership with Liset Alea (Nouvelle Vague), his live shows often take on a cinematic quality, weaving together vocals and instrumentation in a format that is rare in today's circuit. With over 650,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, he remains a reference point for the intersection of emotional connection and technical craft in electronic music.

Sharing the bill is Germany’s Pretty Pink, whose rise in the melodic and progressive house world has been powered by both precision behind the decks and an ear for timeless, emotionally driven reworks. She first gained global attention with a reimagining of Daft Punk’s Get Lucky and continued to make an impact with her takes on Fine Day and What Is Love—remixes that went viral and helped secure her status across dance floors and festival circuits alike.

Her own productions, including her debut album Born Digital, speak to a club sensibility rooted in melodic tension and deep groove, showcased on her own labels and through a consistent presence on major streaming platforms.

Pretty Pink has taken her sound to stages at Tomorrowland, EDC Las Vegas, Lollapalooza, Nature One, and more, always balancing high-energy delivery with the musicality that defines her catalog. Her DEEP WOODS radio show, now with over 1 million streams, further represents her role as both a tastemaker and touring artist, offering a regular insight into the tracks that shape her sets and style.

With the New York City skyline as the backdrop and a proper rooftop crowd in the mix, this night at Superior Ingredients is set to be a rare collision of two prolific forces in melodic dance music. Expect long builds, analog warmth, introspective moments, and plenty of space to move. Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering these artists for the first time, October 19th is your invitation to experience electronic music delivered with intention and finesse—elevated by the open air and the energy of a city that knows how to party.
