Gray Area presents Classmatic at H0L0 Yard in New York on August 22, 2026. Joining him is Miami based Alves, Aly Meza, and local talent Paradom. 

Born in Tubarão, Brazil, Classmatic has become one of the standout names in tech house, known for mixing Latin percussion, rolling basslines, and stripped back grooves into a sound built for the dance floor. His breakout release “Toma Dale” on Jamie Jones’ Hot Creations became a major Ibiza anthem and helped launch him onto lineups around the world.

Since then, he has played major venues and festivals including DC10 Ibiza, Hï Ibiza, Space Miami, EDC Las Vegas, Warung Beach Club, and Club Vibe, while sharing the booth with names like The Martinez Brothers, Paco Osuna, Seth Troxler, Ben Sterling, and Beltran.

With releases on Hot Creations, Solid Grooves, Hottrax, Cuttin’ Headz, Revival New York, Toolroom, and Deeperfect, Classmatic continues to deliver club records heard across dance floors worldwide. Tracks like “El Primer Corazón,” “Catuca,” and his remix of Cloonee’s “Sun Goes Down” have become favorites among DJs and fans alike.

Rounding out the lineup is local favorite Paradom, whose house driven sets and connection with New York crowds have made him one of the city's emerging talents to watch.
