Join us on November 8th at Superior Ingredients’ rooftop for an unforgettable night with 

, the Italian DJ and producer who has become a key figure in the Afro House scene. Known for his epic performances and unique sound, MoBlack has earned support from artists like 

, and Pete Tong, and has captivated crowds at major festivals such as Terminus and Brunch Elektronik. His productions blend Afro House, techno, and melodic elements, creating tracks that feel both timeless and forward-looking.

As the former A&R Manager for Traxsource’s Afro House catalog, MoBlack played a pivotal role in the genre’s global rise, and through his label, MoBlack Records, he continues to shape the future of Afro House while staying true to its roots. His time in Ghana deeply influenced his music, which is known for its rich textures, intricate rhythms, and emotional depth.

Joining the lineup is Val Fleury, Liberian-born and USA-based DJ/Producer, known for her energetic sets and Afro-warehouse fusion of House and Techno infused with West African roots. Her performances have drawn acclaim from AfroPunk to NYLON and have taken her across 10 countries and 7 continents, from Berlin raves and Shanghai fashion events to Coachella, Miami Music Week, Roots Picnic, and SXSW.

Val’s singles, including Statues and Technically, earned support from Beatport, KCRW, and Apple Music, while Spotify featured her as a Fresh Finds Dance artist. Her 2025 releases, including Paradise ft. Res and Mami Wata ft. Sibby Liv, continue to expand her global footprint. 

Based in Miami, Florida, FALYN emerged on the afro electronic dance music scene in late 2023. Known as an afro house queen in Miami, she transforms her mixes into spiritually charged journeys that have gained recognition both nationally and internationally, from Morocco to California. Her sound fuses melodic afro techno, 3-step, and variations of fro House, creating immersive experiences that have led her to share stages and collaborate with some of the top names in electronic and house music. 

Sam Hysell, DJ and founding partner of We Are NOX Media—known for elevating brands and talent at the forefront of culture—will be joining the rooftop lineup at Superior Ingredients. He’ll be going B2B with local talent JARONPAULJONES, delivering a set designed to move the crowd and bring an extra layer to the night. Samantha Michelle will be the final touch to this extravaganza!
