Join us for a night of incredible music and energy on the rooftop of Superior Ingredients in New York, as 

Hailing from Ischia, Italy, Blackchild’s journey in music began early and has gained significant traction in the scene. With releases on prestigious labels such as Cuttin' Headz (

), Blackchild's rise has been undeniable. Not just a studio producer, Blackchild has brought his music to fans around the globe, performing at some of the world’s most iconic venues and festivals, including 

. His sets are known for their raw energy and unique connection with the crowd.

This event is part of ATARASHI's growing influence on the global music scene. Founded in 2021, ATARASHI has already established itself as a unifying force through music, hosting memorable events in France, Italy, and Spain. The brand is committed to bringing people from all walks of life together to celebrate music, energy, and positivity.

Balancing his jazz-influenced house explorations with a wealth of material aimed squarely at the floor, Italian DJ/producer Blackchild has been on a hot streak of late, with a series of impactful productions making serious global noise while also curating his growing label and event series NAIMA in unison. Fresh from his high-profile remix of house icon St. Germain, the Solid Grooves regular returns to his adopted label with arguably his biggest record to date, finally unveiling the heavily-requested and eagerly-awaited release of 'So Good (Heat Mix).

From the infectious sax melodies that have been hypnotising dancers around the globe to the slick, silky drums and the track's bumping low-ends, 'So Good (Heat Mix)' is a dopamine-drenched anthem that looks set to command dancefloors all summer long as Blackchild and Solid Grooves show out to serve up the goods once more.

ATARASHI has already brought some of the biggest names in house and techno to its stages, including 

, an Italian DJ and producer born in Mola di Bari. From a young age, he was drawn to music and DJing, and in 2015, he signed with Lapsus Music, marking the start of his rise in the scene. Known for his releases on labels like Glasgow Underground, Saved, Toolroom, and Materialism, Sante’s tracks have become staples in the house music world. 

Over the last few years, he’s had one of the biggest records in the scene, and his sets have taken him across Europe, playing in cities like London, Berlin, Monaco, Barcelona, Amsterdam, and Florence.

April 6th marks a special night as Blackchild takes over the rooftop at Superior Ingredients, bringing his high-energy performance to New York. Expect a journey through his trademark sound – groovy, driving, and full of atmosphere. This is a party you won’t want to miss, set against the stunning backdrop of the city skyline.
