Dutch DJ, producer, and label head Franky Rizardo returns to New York for his biggest U.S. headline show to date — a full venue takeover at Knockdown Center on February 21, 2026, bringing his FLOW brand alongside Nacho Scoppa b2b Jay De Lys, Ms. Mada b2b Ammo Avenue, and HVNLEE.

A defining figure in the international house and techno scene, Franky has spent the last decade building a global reputation through carefully crafted DJ sets, chart-topping releases, and a deep understanding of club culture. Whether playing Amnesia Ibiza, fabric London, Shelter Amsterdam, or leading stages at festivals like Tomorrowland, Mysteryland, and Extrema Outdoor, Franky’s sets are built on movement, patience, and progression.

Launched in 2015, FLOW began as a weekly radio show and evolved into a global event series and record label, LTF Records (Listen to Flow). Since then, it has hosted packed-out events across Europe and beyond, including takeovers at ADE, Tomorrowland, and a 14,000-person sold-out festival in collaboration with Dutch party brand JOY. Through LTF, Franky has released standout tracks like “Everybody” and “Make My Body Move”, while supporting artists such as Ferra Black, Tre Reynolds, and Simone Liberali.

Make My Body Move

Joining Franky for this special night is Nacho Scoppa, who will perform back-to-back with Jay De Lys. Hailing from Rosario, Argentina, Nacho has built a strong international presence through tours across Europe, South America, and beyond, with appearances at The Warehouse Project, BPM Festival, Thuishaven, and Joy x FLOW Amsterdam. His productions have landed on respected labels including elrow Music, Kaluki, Deeperfect, and Sola, earning support from artists like Marco Carola, Jamie Jones, and The Martinez Brothers.

Alongside him, Jay De Lys brings his sharp, club-focused sound to the b2b. After years of touring Europe, the U.S., Africa, and South America, Jay has become one of Argentina’s strongest electronic exports. His releases on Toolroom and Jamie Jones’ Paradise — including “No Sleep Club” and “Tired of Loving” — have seen heavy support from Marco Carola, Joseph Capriati, Jamie Jones, and The Martinez Brothers, leading to appearances at Music On, elrow at Amnesia Ibiza, Ultra Málaga, and Pacha Barcelona.

Also on the lineup is a special b2b set from Ms. Mada and Ammo Avenue. A Miami-based DJ and PIV regular, Ms. Mada is a core member of the Club Space family, known for her steady rise through consistent club sets and sharp musical intuition. 

She joins forces with Ammo Avenue, whose releases on Hot Creations and elrow Music, including “Serial Chiller” and “Cymbal”, have become staples in DJ sets worldwide. Ammo’s music has earned regular play from Jamie Jones, Marco Carola, Paco Osuna, and ANOTR, with performances at Hï Ibiza, The Warehouse Project, Pacha, BPM Festival, and Ultra editions across South America.
