BERK

Join us on August 13 as Gray Area presents the next installment of our beloved 

 series with the fast-rising UK tech house ingenue, 

. Fresh off the release of his massive chart-topping collaboration with Dimitri Vegas and Steve Aoki, “Friends,” he’s returning to The States and playing his first New York headline show with us on The Roof at Superior Ingredients.

Friends

Despite only releasing his first record, "Dreams," in 2020, Chapter & Verse (aka Barry Pearson) has clearly mastered the art of production. His electrifying fusion of late 90s rave and the storied Balearic era bubbles with a fiercely future-forward aesthetic that has left dancers breathless around the world. He’s released music at a staggering rate, dropping nearly 100 records in just three years on some of the most respected labels in dance music including Gorgon City’s Realm, Insomniac, and Ministry of Sound.

It’s not just Barry’s soaring melodies, seductive vocal samples, and impossibly funky basslines that have made house heads fall in love with him. His effervescent personality seals the deal. 

UK artist Chapter & Verse first stepped on the scene in 2020 with his debut release "Dreams". In the 3 years since, he's accumulated another 80 releases on labels like Repopulate Mars, Helix, and Insomniac, as well as creating his own imprint, Atom Bomb Music.
