Get ready for Round 2 at Musica on April 6, 2024, as Mahmut Orhan, the internationally celebrated Turkish DJ, producer, and composer, lights up Manhattan with his unparalleled sound. After quickly selling out both Musica and Superior Ingredients for his debut show in New York, we're excited to announce an encore performance that promises to be an unforgettable experience.

Orhan’s journey from the cultural mosaic of Bursa to the global music scene is marked by his distinct blend of deep house, indie dance, and nu disco. With hits like "Age of Emotions" and "Feel" featuring Sena Şener, Orhan has captivated a worldwide audience. His music, which beautifully marries electronic beats with Turkish melodies, has made him a favorite on the international stage.

Orhan has showcased his talent at some of the world's most prestigious venues and festivals. From the vibrant nightlife of Ibiza's Pacha and Ushuaïa to the grand stages of Tomorrowland in Belgium and Coachella in the United States, Orhan's performances have left an indelible mark on the global music community.

His live sets, known for their energy and depth, have solidified his reputation as a must-see act in the electronic music world.

Musica in Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen has quickly become one of New York's premier nightlife destinations since its opening in March 2022. Occupying a historic space that once housed iconic venues like Space Ibiza New York and FREQ, Musica spans three stories and 25,000 square feet, making it Manhattan's largest club. 

We're excited to welcome back Corinne, for another rodeo with a Gray Area. She has previously played support for our Denis Sulta show and has made her mark by recording on the Lot Radio and playing at Electric Island.

The brainchild of restaurateur Giuseppe Cipriani and Italian nightlife entrepreneur Tito Pinton, Musica is designed to revitalize Manhattan's club scene with a diverse musical lineup, hosting legends like Green Velvet and David Morales. Its state-of-the-art sound system, immersive LED screens, and varied musical programming across three distinct floors aim to bring the big room, underground club experience back to the heart of Manhattan.

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.
