On February 28, 2026, Son of Son—also known as The Great Blondino—brings his rising force to the Roof of Superior Ingredients, marking one of the most anticipated nights of the season. Joining him as a special guest, is UK-talent, Henri Bergmann, Fireware, and KAÏ. SOS's come up has been fueled by a steady stream of sought-after IDs circulating across Instagram and dominating the sets of leading DJs worldwide. 

Blending opera-level drama, shadowy vocal textures, and an instinct that constantly steers his music into new terrain, he has built a sound that stands apart in the melodic techno spectrum. 

His catalog continues to expand through standout releases on Afterlife, Siamese, and collaborations with artists such as Anyma, Argy, and Adriatique. Tracks like “Voices in My Head,” “Style and Fashion,” “Faust,” and “Ritmo” have cemented him as a creator with a clear artistic fingerprint and a fast-growing global following. Beyond the studio, his partnerships in the fashion world have added another layer to his identity, turning him into a figure whose influence spans far beyond the DJ booth.

Voices In My Head

Joining Son of Son on the lineup is London-based producer, DJ, and label founder Henri Bergmann, whose emotionally charged take on house and techno has earned her a strong presence across the global circuit. Bergmann has spent more than a decade refining her sound, releasing music on respected imprints including Afterlife, Crosstown Rebels, Spectrum, Zamna, and Insomniac’s Interstellar. 

As the founder of Automatik, Bergmann has played a key role in supporting emerging artists within the melodic techno space. The label has released music and remixes from Dodi Palese, Hernan Cattaneo, Jonathan Kaspar, 19:26, and more.

On stage, she has performed at venues such as Space Miami, Hï Ibiza, Pacha, Brooklyn Mirage, and Fabric London, as well as festivals including Coachella, Glastonbury, Lost Village, and Extrema Outdoor. Her back-to-back sets with Layla Benitez — including appearances at Club Space Miami and Do LaB at Coachella — have drawn attention for their cohesion and strong crowd response.

Starting off the party for Gray Area is Colombia born, NYC based DJ and producer Fireware, and local talent KAÏ. 

The Roofs retractable glass ceiling sets the tone for the crisp late-winter atmosphere, opening the sky above the dance floor as his cinematic presence takes over the rooftop. Expect intensity, emotion, and the kind of storytelling that has placed Son of Son firmly on the global radar.

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.
