Laidback Luke

Laidback Luke takes over the rooftop at Superior Ingredients on September 6 for a late summer dance music event set above Brooklyn. The show brings one of the most respected names in house music to one of New York’s best open air rooms, pairing skyline views, a rooftop dance floor, and a rare set from an artist whose influence reaches deep into club culture.

A Dutch DJ, producer, and two time Kung Fu World Champion, Laidback Luke has been a major figure in dance music for more than two decades. His career began with a sound rooted in early Dutch house, where rougher drums, funky bass lines, fast mixing, and club focused records helped shape his name. Over the years, he has played major stages and clubs around the world while staying close to the raw, rebellious side of dance music that first defined his work.

Following a 78 date CODE/RED world tour in 2025, Luke is entering a new chapter with CONTINUUM, a return to the deeper, louder, and more club centered side of his sound. This period focuses on bouncy rhythms, rough house textures, indie club influence, and a fresh live energy built for dance floors rather than trends. For longtime fans, it reconnects with the early spirit of Laidback Luke. For new listeners, it is a chance to hear an artist with decades of history bringing his current sound into a rooftop setting.

Beyond his own music, Laidback Luke has played an important role in shaping the careers of artists including Avicii, Afrojack, Oliver Heldens, and Nicky Romero. He is also known for sharing knowledge around production, DJing, health, and the mental side of life as an artist, giving his story added depth beyond the booth. His sets are known for precision, personality, and a wide range of club records that move with purpose from warm grooves into peak time moments.

On September 6, that full story comes to Superior Ingredients Rooftop. Expect a set that connects the raw feeling of underground house with the scale and experience of a DJ who has spent years reading dance floors across the world. With open air views, a late summer atmosphere, and Laidback Luke bringing his CONTINUUM chapter to New York, this rooftop show is built for sunset, nightfall, and a full dance floor under the city sky.

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.
