Takes Two

HILLS are bringing the heat to the Superior Ingredients rooftop on February 7, leading a stacked daytime lineup featuring Crusy, WELKER, Slaycey, and Take Two. Catch it from 2PM–10PM with open-air views, tech house pressure, and the kind of atmosphere that makes daytime parties hit different.

Formed by two friends brought together through a shared love for underground house, HILLS have built momentum through a steady stream of weekly free remixes and viral club edits. One of their biggest tracks to date is “Dreams,” a collab with Italian producer ANYMA, which has become their most-listened release and helped push their sound even further worldwide. 

Dreams

Their rework of Playboi Carti’s “EVIL J0RDAN” hit #1 on 1001Tracklists’ most-heard chart and opened doors to releases on respected labels like Catch & Release, REALM, AETERNA, and Repopulate Mars. Their music has also earned support from major names including FISHER, Dom Dolla, John Summit, Jamie Jones, and SIDEPIECE.

Also on deck is Crusy, a Madrid-born talent who’s been leveling up fast. He first caught global attention with “SELECTA” on Toolroom Trax, earning early support from Carl Cox, Nic Fanciulli, and John Summit.

Since then, Crusy has stacked releases on Defected, Knee Deep in Sound, and Dombresky’s Process, while linking up with artists like Mark Knight, Hugel, and Low Steppa. The past year has been nonstop—taking him from Berlin to Tokyo, London to Ibiza, and everywhere in between, including Montreal, Stuttgart, Barcelona, Copenhagen, and Bali. Landing a top producer ranking last year was no accident—he’s been applying serious pressure in the studio and behind the decks.

Support comes from WELKER, a Brazilian-born producer now based in Los Angeles, whose music has already found its way into sets from Solomun, CamelPhat, Vintage Culture, Gordo, and Innellea. After being highlighted by BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong, WELKER is steadily building momentum as one of the scene’s next breakout names.

Miami DJ and producer Slaycey, who’s shared stages with Chelina Manuhutu, Lovra, Marco Lys, Low Steppa, Maya Jane Coles, and more, rounds out the lineup alongside local talent Take Two for the rooftop.

Join us as Gray Area brings HILLS, Crusy, WELKER, Slaycey, and Take Two, to the Superior Ingredients rooftop for an afternoon of rhythm, atmosphere, and community in one of Brooklyn’s most celebrated open-air venues. Tickets are limited—secure yours early.
