 comes alive with a special DOUBLEHEADER featuring two powerhouses of house music: 

. Set against the iconic Manhattan skyline, this Sunday session will bring together Chicago’s underground roots and London’s disco-fueled energy for a night that celebrates the global sound of house in all its forms.

A true global ambassador of Chicago’s house music legacy, Gene Farris has spent nearly three decades shaping the culture from the city’s underground warehouse parties to the world’s biggest stages. With seven albums and more than 200 releases on labels like Relief, Dirtybird, ViVa Music, and Defected, Farris is both a prolific producer and an epic DJ. 

As the founder of Farris Wheel Recordings, he continues to champion new talent while delivering unforgettable sets at events like Arc Music Festival, Desert Hearts, Beyond Wonderland, Groove Cruise, and elrow. His signature blend of raw grooves and high-energy beats cements him as one of house music’s enduring legends.

Representing the UK, The Shapeshifters — fronted by Simon Marlin — are responsible for some of the most iconic vocal house tracks of the last two decades, including the timeless anthem Lola’s Theme. Mentored by Frankie Knuckles and championed by Defected’s Simon Dunmore, The Shapeshifters found a spiritual home with the Glitterbox family, where their disco-driven productions and euphoric DJ sets have become essential to the brand’s global success. 

With acclaimed albums like Let Loose, collaborations with stars like Billy Porter and Joss Stone, and recent tours spanning the world’s top clubs and festivals, The Shapeshifters continue to inspire new generations of house lovers with their sound.

Warming the decks up is hanzondeck, a NYC-based DJ and producer known for vocal-driven tech house sets that blend groove, grit, and deep rhythm. Rooted in NYC’s underground and shaped by global sounds, her flow-focused performances have lit up venues like SILO, VIRGO, and Baby’s All Right, with recent support slots for James Kennedy.

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.

MEMORO

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.
