 will stop at the freshly reopened Kingdom nightclub in Austin, Texas. The Lone Star State might not necessarily be the first place one would think of when house music in America comes up, but it has plenty of history as a breeding ground for underground music.

Austin in particular is becoming a standout destination for house music. A combination of great local clubs and the increasing popularity of Seismic Dance Event (a biannual music festival hosting exclusively house and techno music) has turned the city into a haven for dance music.

Kingdom nightclub was a premiere venue before shutting its doors during quarantine. Having recently reopened, the venue is programming an outdoor and indoor space, with smart bookings such as Carl Craig, Weiss, and of course Miss Monique.

It is always rare when a DJ comes into the spotlight without the typical catalog of hit records. Although she has released plenty of music over the years, Miss Monique truly made a name for herself as a DJ first. We have come to expect DJs to really be producers first, building a reservoir of hits before having the ability to tour, or even receiving offers to perform. For Miss Monique, however, the opposite has happened.

The Intimate room at Kingdom Nightclub in Austin will play host to Miss Monique’s unique blend of classic trance, progressive house, and techno. Miss Monique’s energetic live performances have firmly put her on the map after years of playing all over the world. Although the COVID pandemic was a negative for so many, it managed to propel her into the international spotlight as the increase in viewership of her live sets led people to discover her incredible talent.

Miss Monique was able to show that her tremendous skills extend into the studio. Fresh off this, she will be taking off on a first ever headline tour in the states. Her show in Austin is just one example of how far the message has spread about the magic of a Miss Monique set.

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.
