deadmau5 and Richie Hawtin Among Speakers for Beatport’s Inaugural ReConnect Summit in New York

SXM Festival returns to Saint Martin from March 18–22, 2026, bringing together a global community for five days of music, culture, and island exploration. Known for its immersive programming, the festival spans house, techno, melodic, afro, and progressive sounds across beaches, jungle clearings, private villas, and panoramic viewpoints throughout the island.

This NYC pre-party marks an early stop on the road to SXM, bringing the festival’s spirit to The Roof at Superior Ingredients for a daytime-to-sunset gathering in Brooklyn. Since launching in 2016, SXM Festival has grown into a true destination experience, welcoming attendees from more than 58 countries and emphasizing a deep connection between music and place.

More than just a party, SXM Festival is defined by sunrise beach sessions, oceanfront dancefloors, hidden jungle stages, curated food and cultural pop-ups, and large-scale art installations. Each location is selected to integrate naturally with Saint Martin’s environment, creating moments that feel organic to the island itself.

This pre-party offers a preview of what’s ahead in March, bringing together the SXM community for an afternoon and evening centered around connection, movement, and anticipation for the island journey to come.

Debut

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.
