Durante with Paraleven & Yulia Niko

Join us on Saturday, December 20th, as Kevin Durante takes over the Superior Ingredients Room for an epic night of top-notch music, joined by Yulia Niko, Paraleven, and koumboy. Known for his fluid blend of house and techno, Durante has built a global presence with standout performances at venues like DC-10 in Ibiza, Printworks in London, The Brooklyn Mirage, and Elsewhere in LA.

His festival resume includes CRSSD, Anjunadeep Explorations, and Do Lab at Coachella, and he’s brought his sound to locations as far-flung as Albania and Fiji. Originally from a small village near Florence, Italy, and now based in Los Angeles, Durante’s style has evolved since his 2006 start into something textured and evocative.

With releases on labels like Anjunadeep, Armada, Openers, and W&O Street Tracks, he’s earned recognition from Bonobo, Joris Voorn, and RÜFÜS DU SOL. His collaborations include Diplo, Aluna, and Amtrac, with remix work for Booka Shade, TWO LANES, and Cassian. His debut album Enter, out on Anjunadeep, explores concepts of portals and alternate realities while nodding to jazz, Italo-disco, and early Cocoon Records.

Joining Durante is Yulia Niko, whose sound has been shaped by time spent in Russia, New York, and now Berlin. A resident at the iconic Watergate club, she’s become a staple in the city’s underground scene, known for sets that seamlessly blend emotional depth with kinetic energy. Her releases on Crosstown Rebels reflect her connection to artists like Damian Lazarus, and her album, TWINSOUL, marks a powerful evolution—melding live instrumentation and her own vocals to tell a personal story of grief, healing, and transformation.

Also hopping on the Gray Area decks is Paraleven, the Atlanta-based project of Josh Taylor. Known for his melodic, deep, and progressive house sound, Paraleven made a name for himself with a string of releases on Lane 8’s This Never Happened label—earning millions of streams and touring across North America with Lane 8 himself.

Starting the party up for us is local talent koumboy.
