On March 29th, Ferreck Dawn takes over the rooftop at Superior Ingredients for a night built around his unmistakable drum-driven sound and soulful flair. With a career spanning more than twenty years, the Dutch producer 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. Whether he’s playing a stadium or an intimate space, his sets are known for pulling dancers in and holding them there—an intensity shaped by years spent refining his craft both in the booth and in the studio.

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.

Raised in the Netherlands and influenced early on by gabba and hardcore before shifting into house and techno, Ferreck built a signature style that blends drive, warmth, and vocal-focused production. His steady flow of new music and his ability to energize and unite a dance floor make every appearance feel both fresh and high-stakes—and his return to New York promises a rooftop session built for movement from the first beat to the final drop.

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 a global favorite.
