Franky Wah - Exclusive Set for OCHO by Gray Area [3/22] by Gray Area


In 2022, Franky began surfacing his imprint, 

. In November of the same year, he released his magnum opus, boldly announcing its arrival. 

 is a sprawling three-hour, 27-track album. This remarkable collection seamlessly incorporates Chinese influences and maintains admirable consistency throughout the album. Rather than banging out flashy, club-ready hits, Franky oscillates between introspective sound design and brooding, progressive bangers. For his upcoming set, Franky Wah will bring this inspired music of SHÈN to life.

This Is SHÈN

A cast of Gray Area favorites is helping Franky realize his creative vision, starting with our special guest, Spencer Brown. With his potent brew of progressive trance melodies, pulsating drums, and techno-tinged flourishes, Spencer is a leading name in the melodic house and techno space. With massive releases on industry-leading labels like Anjunabeats and mau5trap, his skills as a DJ and producer have elevated his profile to levels most artists could only dream of. From the driving vigor of “Windows 95 On Acid” to the tribal minimal odyssey of his remix for Kx5’s “Escape,” Spencer’s music has found its way into the DJ sets of some of the world’s biggest dance music superstars. John Summit, deadmau5, FISHER, Maceo Plex, Dubfire, John Digweed, Calvin Harris, Nora En Pure, Above & Beyond, and Oliver Heldens have all sung his praises.

Escape - Spencer Brown Remix

Luzi Tudor’s entré into the world of dance music production and DJ was incredible, to say the least. The Romanian-born artist debuted on Lane 8’s This Never Happened in 2021 with “Warrior,” a slithering five-minute journey punctuated by stuttering strings, glowing synths, and thoughtful composition that firmly establishes her dynamic storytelling prowess. She’s continued to release stunning, emotional music and in 2022, joined Lane 8 on tour stops at LA Historic Park and the Brooklyn Mirage.

His releases have blessed the catalogs of dance music’s most celebrated tastemakers, including Gorgon City’s REALM and Nora En Pure’s Purified. In 2022 he topped the Beatport Melodic House & Techno charts for 22 weeks with the 

 EP. One of the year’s top sellers, it received widespread support from 

Hey Now

With undeniable warehouse vibes and a rich history of creativity embedded in the brick walls, this will be the perfect backdrop for a night of euphoric, explorative dancing. We’re so honored to welcome Franky Wah back to New York, and we hope you will join us in the celebration.
