On May 11th, the Roof at Superior Ingredients is turning up the heat with a powerhouse doubleheader—Melé and A-Trak will be behind the decks with the stunning Manhattan skyline as their backdrop. This one is going to be legendary.

A-Trak, is a Canadian DJ, producer, and record executive known for his technical turntablism and diverse musical style. Rising to prominence in the late 2000s, he gained recognition as an international club DJ and remix artist. He is the president of Fool’s Gold Records, a label he co-founded in 2007, which helped launch the careers of artists like Kid Cudi, Danny Brown, and Flosstradamus. Beyond his solo career, A-Trak is one-half of the DJ duo Duck Sauce alongside Armand Van Helden. Their track “Barbra Streisand” earned a Grammy nomination in 2012. He also served as Kanye West’s original tour DJ and has been recognized as a key figure in DJ culture, earning features in major publications like Rolling Stone, Billboard, and Complex.

British DJ and producer Melé is also a standout in the scene known for his percussive and tribal house sound. With releases on respected labels such as Edible, Higher Ground, Kunye, and Defected Records, Melé has built a strong catalog of anthems that have resonated with audiences worldwide. His performances have taken him to major club and festival stages, including Worldwide Festival, elrow Barcelona, EDC Vegas, CRSSD, and Smart Bar in Chicago.

With these two heavyweights on deck, the Roof at Superior Ingredients is the only place to be—get ready for another night for the books!

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.
