Gray Area wraps up 2025 with an unmissable rooftop event featuring Konstantin Sibold at Superior Ingredients Roof on December 28 from 2PM to 10PM. The Stuttgart-born DJ and producer has earned global recognition for his seamless blend of emotion and intensity, moving between house, techno, and melodic sounds with precision. A fixture at some of the world’s most respected stages — Berghain / Panorama Bar, Fabric London, Awakenings, Tomorrowland, Pacha Ibiza, and Hï Ibiza — Sibold continues to deliver sets that bridge underground spirit with festival-scale energy.

Joining Konstantin is Belladonna, the alias of German producer Nico Chiara. Before launching his solo project, Nico made his mark behind the scenes—amassing over 1.67 billion streams, 45 gold records, 12 platinum awards, and two Billboard #1 hits as a producer and songwriter. Now stepping forward as Belladonna, he’s brought his sound to stages like Void Club Mykonos, La Guérite Cannes, Sky Club Malta, and Railway Park Budapest, performing alongside heavyweights including ARTBAT and Korolova.

His breakout single “WHERE I’M FROM” with Cassian and Script became a defining moment of Zamna Festival Tulum, later climbing to #1 on Beatport’s Melodic House & Techno chart and cementing Belladonna as one of the scene’s most exciting rising names.

Where I'm From

Also joining the party is, Woke Brian, originally from Coney Island, curates his sets influenced by his extensive experience as a raver and the diverse atmosphere of his city. His music selections favor uplifting and progressive dance tracks over mainstream club hits. Fitting for an event like such!

Since Konstantin's breakout with “Madeleine” on Innervisions, he’s released on Running Back, Afterlife, and Drumcode, producing hits like “Mutter” and “Shake This World.” His remix for Rebūke’s “Along Came Polly” with Zac and Carmee reached #1 on the Melodic House & Techno chart and Top 3 Overall on Beatport, with support from FISHER, Anyma, Swedish House Mafia, and Adam Beyer. 

This Is Konstantin Sibold

Following his Drumcode debut and his remix of Bart Skils’ “Roll the Dice,” Sibold lands in Brooklyn for one final 2025 performance — a day-to-night rooftop journey with sweeping skyline views, perfect sound, and the signature Gray Area atmosphere.
