Our Doubleheader Series returns on October 2nd at the Room of Superior Ingredients with two of Europe's most talked about names in contemporary rave culture: ALT8 and Pawlowski. Joining them is local talent Adam Meliani going b2b with New Jersey talent, Øme. 

Irish DJ and producer ALT8 has emerged as one of the leading names behind a new wave of rave music inspired by early 2000s dance culture. Known as "The Irish Boy," he has built a strong following through his blend of trance, techno, offbeat basslines, and movement focused productions. 

A resident at Germany's renowned Gotec club, ALT8 first gained international attention through his breakout collaboration with Sara Landry, 

, before continuing his rise with releases on respected labels including 44 Label Group and Doof. His sets have earned recognition for their emotional intensity and ability to connect deeply with dancefloors around the world.

Joining him is French producer and DJ Pawlowski, whose sound draws from the raw spirit of 1990s rave culture while incorporating modern acid, trance, and techno influences. He first broke through with 

 in 2019 before cementing his reputation through 

, a standout release from the Possession project. 

Since then, he has continued to expand his profile with releases such as 

 with Byørn on Tomorrowland Music. After revealing his identity in 2025 following eight years behind his iconic scarf, Pawlowski entered a new chapter that has further elevated his status across the international techno circuit.

Bringing together two artists at the forefront of modern rave culture, this special Doubleheader Series edition promises a night shaped by powerful melodies, driving rhythms, acid fueled energy, and dancefloor focused selections from start to finish.

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.
