On Friday, September 4th, Gray Area brings 

 for a special open-air session from 3PM–10PM. Joining him is Falyn, Cisummi, and Oktave. 


At the center of it all is MoBlack, the Italian DJ, producer, and label head who has become one of the defining figures in Afro House. With support from names like Black Coffee, &ME, Rampa, Solomun, and Pete Tong, and appearances at global events including Terminus and Brunch Elektronik, his sets draw from Afro House, melodic techno, and organic influences, shaped in part by his years living in Ghana. His work as former A&R Manager for Traxsource’s Afro House division also helped push the genre into wider recognition, including its official category status on Beatport.

Through MoBlack Records, he has built a platform that connects artists across continents, bringing forward new voices while maintaining a strong link to the roots of Afro-influenced electronic music.

Set against the industrial backdrop of The Ruins, this daytime-to-sunset gathering brings together sound, community, and culture in one of New York’s most distinctive outdoor spaces.
