 lands in Williamsburg, on October 11, taking over 

 for a night that shows exactly why he’s become one of techno’s most talked-about names. Having played some of the biggest global stages like 

,  Rebūke has built a reputation for a sound that moves between raw underground energy and melodic techno finesse. 

, the project from German producer Nico Chiara, joins 

 in the Room of Superior Ingredients. Before stepping into his own spotlight, Nico produced tracks that earned over 1.67 billion streams, 45 gold records, 12 platinum awards, and two Billboard #1 hits. As Belladonna, he’s played stages like Void Club Mykonos, La Guérite Cannes, Sky Club Malta, and Railway Park Budapest alongside top names like

Where I'm From

Tracks like “Syren” with Anyma and the chart-topping “Along Came Polly” have kept Rebuke in a heavy rotation, with support from major voices like Pete Tong, Ben Malone, and Sarah Story, and over 210 million global streams behind him.

Joining the fun is Stello, an emerging force in progressive house and melodic techno, drawing inspiration from artists like Cristoph, Camelphat, Eric Prydz, and Tinlicker. He’s supported top-tier acts including ZHU, Miss Monique, Nora En Pure, Kaskade, Adam Beyer, HI-LO, and Eli Brown, and performed at venues ranging from Rockefeller Plaza to Avant Gardner. Stello has played shows in NYC, Boston, and San Diego, with festival appearances at We Belong Here in Miami and Central Park. He's also been on the Gray Area decks before so we're excited to welcome him back! 

Known for sets that balance power and detail with striking visuals, Rebūke brings an experience that has sold out tours across North and South America and connected with crowds in Tulum, Abu Dhabi, and London.

The Room at Superior Ingredients is all about the music: a custom-tuned soundsystem, immersive lighting setups, an upper-level mezzanine for a different perspective, and solid drinks to keep the energy flowing. This one promises to deliver the best of both world-class production and pure dance floor connection!

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.

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.
