. Running from 2PM to 10PM, the open-air event is presented by Gray Area, transforming one of Williamsburg’s most recognized rooftop venues into a daytime gathering overlooking the Manhattan skyline. 

Born and raised on the island of Ischia in the Gulf of Naples, Filisdeo grew up surrounded by music through his father’s record collection, which introduced him to hip-hop, R&B, disco, and classic house. He began producing at 18, quickly gaining support from established artists in the underground scene and later joining the Solid Grooves roster in 2019. Since then, his releases have appeared on respected labels including Cuttin’ Headz, Mindshake, and Hot Creations, with multiple Beatport chart entries and strong international club support. His work has helped establish him as a regular presence on the global circuit, with performances at venues and festivals such as Printworks London, Parklife, Kappa FuturFestival, and Hï Ibiza. Now performing under his given name, Gennaro Filisdeo arrives in New York with a catalogue shaped by house, disco, and hip-hop influences and a reputation built across clubs and festival stages worldwide.

Joining him is Cristina Lazic, an Italy-born artist raised in London whose path into music began after a career in the fashion industry before transitioning fully into DJing and production. Since stepping into the scene, Lazic has built an international profile through performances at major venues and festivals including Hï Ibiza, KOKO London, Exit Festival, Get Lost, and SunWaves. Her productions have landed on respected labels such as Crosstown Rebels and Moxy Muzik, placing her among a new generation of artists shaping the deeper side of house music. Along the way, she has received radio support from BBC Radio 1, Ibiza Global Radio, Sonica Radio, and Pure Ibiza Radio, helping expand her reach across both club and broadcast platforms. 

Joining the lineup is Argentina’s Jay de Lys, a DJ and producer who has steadily built an international presence within the tech house circuit. Raised in a music-oriented family, de Lys developed an early connection to rhythm that would later translate into a career spanning clubs and festivals across Europe, the United States, Africa, and South America. His productions have gained attention on major labels, including Nic Fanciulli’s Saved Records, where his track 

 helped introduce him to a wider audience, and elrow Music, which released his track 

—a record that received extended support from Loco Dice throughout the year.

Over time, Jay de Lys has continued to expand his catalogue with releases on prominent imprints such as Repopulate Mars, Kaluki, Deeperfect, Sony, and Stereo Productions, earning backing from influential figures across the global house circuit. Artists associated with the Music On sphere, including Stacey Pullen, Joey Daniel, Joseph Capriati, and Marco Carola. Motum and Mikayla Wolf also join the Gray Area decks.

With a lineup spanning multiple scenes and cities, the May 31 edition promises a full day of music, connection, and movement high above Williamsburg.
