, the creative alter ego of Belgian producer Sam Huybrecht.

Pegassi first gained recognition when his remix of “No Type” shot to #1 on SoundCloud’s global charts. Since then, his momentum has only grown. His breakout club anthem “Yoyoyo” became a staple across dance floors worldwide, earning support from leading tastemakers like Marlon Hoffstadt, Anetha, Trym, Bad Boombox, Malugi, Job Jobse, VTSS, Solomun, and more.

Joining the party is Benwal, the Dutch DJ and producer who’s moved from Groningen’s underground to major stages across Europe and Australia. Known for his marathon sets, sharp selections, and role in the trance and hard house revival, Benwal brings his own edge to the night.

Pegassi recently worked with DJ IP on the track “Wanna Feel” and is gearing up for the release of “No Go Zone,” featuring Dutch hip-hop icon Bokoesam.

Yoyoyo

On stage, Pegassi has played some of Europe’s most iconic venues and festivals — including Thuishaven, Mondo Disko, Junkyard, RSO, Tomorrowland, Else, Intercell, Modul’air, BCCO, Teletech, and even a standout Boiler Room broadcast. Each performance showcases his bold and high-energy sound that resonates across genres.

Beyond performing, Pegassi has launched his own event series and label 

, providing a platform for fresh talent while shaping his global reach.

September 20th is your chance to experience Pegassi’s forward-thinking sound in an intimate setting at 96 Morgan.

Gray Area's new venture, "Debut," aims to bridge the international house music community by bringing established and emerging artists to cities they've never performed in. This initiative seeks to expand artists' fan bases and provide fans with fresh, exhilarating musical experiences. Having played a role in introducing major artists and brands like elrow and Awakenings to new audiences in the past, Gray Area believes in the magic of first-time experiences. By promoting artists in new venues and cities, they hope to cultivate a thriving, unified house music ecosystem. Debut is not merely a marketing strategy but embodies Gray Area's commitment to fostering collaboration, unity, and musical discovery.
