Push

Joyhauser returns to Brooklyn for a Sunday rooftop session at Superior Ingredients. The Belgian duo has become a mainstay in the global techno circuit with releases on Monika Kruse’s Terminal M and standout sets at Awakenings, Tomorrowland, Monegros Desert Festival, Loveland ADE, and more. Their blend of tough percussion and emotionally charged melodies has earned them a loyal following worldwide.

Also joining Joyhauser is BEC. Based in Berlin and originally from the UK, she’s built a strong reputation through releases on Drumcode, Second State, and Intec, with support from Carl Cox, Adam Beyer, and Space 92. She’s played respected clubs and festivals like Fabrik Madrid, Watergate, Sunwaves, Amnesia, and Awakenings Summer.

Rounding out the bill is Push (aka M.I.K.E. Push), the Belgian trance and techno icon behind classics like “Universal Nation,” “Strange World,” and “The Legacy.” With a decades-spanning career and recent releases still hitting charts, he’s now based in New York and hosts his Universal Nation show on Tomorrowland’s One World Radio.

For local talent in the underground, we’ve got New York-based Yazz joining us—a DJ and producer who began her journey at just nine years old. Experimenting with drums and other instruments early on sparked her passion and creativity in music. Also hopping on the Gray Area decks is CRYFXB!

MEMORO

Gray Area's new venture, "Debut," aims to bridge the international house music community by bringing established and emerging artists to cities they've never performed in. This initiative seeks to expand artists' fan bases and provide fans with fresh, exhilarating musical experiences. Having played a role in introducing major artists and brands like elrow and Awakenings to new audiences in the past, Gray Area believes in the magic of first-time experiences. By promoting artists in new venues and cities, they hope to cultivate a thriving, unified house music ecosystem. Debut is not merely a marketing strategy but embodies Gray Area's commitment to fostering collaboration, unity, and musical discovery.

Doubleheader

Gray Area is pioneering the "Doubleheader" event series, drawing inspiration from back-to-back baseball games to showcase artists with similar styles but unique fan bases. By having one artist follow another and culminating in a collaborative back-to-back (B2B) set, Doubleheader aims to create a powerful platform for musical discovery and cross-pollination. Embracing the "B2B" spirit, the initiative seeks to introduce audiences to new sounds while strengthening the dance music ecosystem.
