, Naiman, and more. With a career spanning more than twenty years, the Dutch producer, Ferreck Dawn has become one of house music’s most recognizable names, releasing on labels including Defected, Insomniac, Tomorrowland Records, and Repopulate Mars while consistently delivering tracks that ignite a room from the first measure.

Ferreck’s ability to bridge underground energy with broad-reach appeal has placed him on some of the world’s most prominent stages, from OVO Arena Wembley to marathon sets across Miami Music Week, Printworks London, Brooklyn Mirage, and headline dates throughout Australia and South America. 

By My Side

His collaborations stretch across the global spectrum of chart-topping talent, including Meduza, Vintage Culture, and Maverick Sabre, as well as remixes for industry leaders such as Diplo, Tiësto, Martin Garrix, Claptone, and Oliver Heldens. 

Ferreck’s releases have amassed massive streaming numbers, with breakout hits like “In Arms” reaching No. 1 on Beatport and earning tens of millions of plays, followed by follow-ups including “Back Tomorrow” with Jem Cooke.

Joining Ferreck Dawn on the Roof is London-based, Italian-born CASSIMM, one of the most respected names on the global underground house circuit, consistently earning support from Honey Dijon, Marco Carola, The Martinez Brothers, Loco Dice, Nic Fanciulli, and Vintage Culture.

A regular fixture on international lineups, he’s played key dance cities including New York, Los Angeles, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Ibiza, Barcelona, Milan, Rome, London, Bali, and Buenos Aires, with recent appearances at Toolroom Phuket The Weekend, Prysm Chicago, and KOKO London.

In the studio, CASSIMM has delivered multiple Beatport Top 10s, reached No.1 as the best-selling House artist on Beatport, and continues to release on major imprints including Toolroom, Trick, Defected, ReKids, Snatch!, FLOW, Golden, and Soulfuric—making him a fitting addition to this rooftop pairing.

Also on the bill is Bulgarian artist Pavel Petrov, whose sound was shaped by the country’s post-communist era and the sudden arrival of Western club culture. Now one of Bulgaria’s most internationally recognized DJs and producers, he’s earned consistent support from heavyweights like Carl Cox, Hot Since 82, Maya Jane Coles, Claptone, Pan-Pot, Joris Voorn, and John Digweed. 

With standout releases on Stil Vor Talent, Glasgow Underground, and his own EXE AUDIO, Petrov continues to represent Sofia on a global level while helping shape the city’s scene through his EXE project.

Kicking things off is Naiman, a NYC-based DJ and producer who’s played SILO and TBA Brooklyn, alongside local talent Ms. Unicorn.

Superior Ingredients’ rooftop will be transformed into a high-heat open-air dance zone for this special night. Expect a set that pushes upward in intensity, deep grooves built for peak-hour movement, and that unmistakable Ferreck Dawn feel that has solidified him as one of house music's favorite.
