New York's Grammy-award-winning producer, 

, returns for a hometown performance on September 22nd. Hosted by Gray Area in the pleasant late September weather, this open-air event takes place at The Ruins of the historic Knockdown Center in Queens. Dive into CID's signature tech house beats at one of New York's most unique venues: a vast concrete patio surrounded by century-old structures, remnants of the factory’s old boiler room. With the gentle autumn breeze as a backdrop, it promises to be a night to remember.

The Queens-born artist has a mile-long resume featuring collaborations with 

, and BYOR. His GRAMMY-winning work with Cedric Gervais on their remix of Lana Del Rey's "Summertime Sadness" is just the tip of the iceberg. CID has released on diverse labels such as Tiesto's Musical Freedom, Lee Foss' Repopulate Mars, Sonny Fodera's Solotoko, and his own tastemaking imprint Night Service Only.

Let Me Take You

CID is always in a state of transformation and has built a career on forging his own path. His music is boundary-pushing, forward, funky, and dancefloor-filling. He had a mammoth year in 2022, dropping nearly a dozen records, including the massive hit "Carnaval de Paris," his The Game sampling collab with UK producer Joshwa, "How We Do," and the Beatport #1 "Let Me Take You" with Westend.

As a DJ, his skills are unsurpassed. And it's no surprise, as being behind the decks is what drew him into dance music, to begin with. Since he was a teen, CID has scoured the crates at New York record stores. An accomplished selector, CID has performed at EDC Vegas, Lollapalooza, Tomorrowland, elrow, and Ultra.

Kicking off the evening will be Damelo, Ducci and Taylo followed by a special b2b set by special guests Carlo Lio and Nathan Barato to support CID.
