On Saturday, November 8, Italian electronic artist 

 for a special DOUBLEHEADER inside The Room of Superior Ingredients at Brooklyn’s late-night haven for immersive club experiences.

Since launching in Milan in 2019, 19:26 has built a reputation for moody, cinematic dance music. His catalog includes releases on Afterlife and Siamese, with tracks supported by Tale of Us, Tiësto, Camelphat, and others. 

Known for collaborations with artists like Mrak and Yubik, 19:26 has played at Space Miami, Zamna, Ushuaïa, Hï Ibiza, Ziggo Dome, and even the Pyramids of Giza, delivering DJ sets that span ambient textures and melodic techno.

Joining them is Henri Bergmann, an LA-based, London-born producer and DJ with standout releases on Crosstown Rebels, Spectrum, Zamna, and Insomniac’s Interstellar. This year alone she’s delivered club-ready tracks like “Memory Leak,” “Secrets Too Soon,” and the vocal-driven “Cheating Heart.” 

As head of her own label Automatik, she’s helped shine a light on emerging and established talent alike. Her recent tour stops include Coachella, Glastonbury, Brooklyn Mirage, Pacha Ibiza, and Fabric London—each one proof of her skill in controlling a room and locking in a dance floor..

Also hopping on the decks for support is Jono Stephenson, a South African-born producer whose rising profile in melodic techno is backed by strong releases, live performances, and a multidisciplinary artistic vision. With music out on Zamna Records, Purified, Impressum, and Siona, Jono’s catalog includes breakout tracks like “I Can’t Save You” and “Lose Myself”, both celebrated for their melodic structure and emotional depth.

In 2024 alone, he’s released collaborations with artists like Korolova and Sevenn, and earned major radio support from BBC Radio 1, Virgin Radio, and KISS FM. His joint release with Henri Bergmann and Layla Benitez, “Memory Leak,” adds to his momentum, showcasing his ability to merge dancefloor impact with atmospheric detail.

Gray Area is pioneering the "Doubleheader" event series, drawing inspiration from back-to-back baseball games to showcase artists with similar styles but unique fan bases. By having one artist follow another and culminating in a collaborative back-to-back (B2B) set, Doubleheader aims to create a powerful platform for musical discovery and cross-pollination. Embracing the "B2B" spirit, the initiative seeks to introduce audiences to new sounds while strengthening the dance music ecosystem.
