Romain Garcia

On Sunday, January 11, 2026, Romain Garcia brings his evocative melodic sound to the Roof of Superior Ingredients, a rooftop space designed for music lovers who want to dance above the city while staying comfortable no matter the weather. Known for its sleek, retractable roof, the venue transforms effortlessly—from an open-air sunset backdrop to a fully enclosed, heated space when the night turns cool—making it an ideal setting for a winter show under the sky.

Hailed as one of the leading voices in the new generation of melodic techno, Romain Garcia first turned heads when Ben Böhmer championed his dreamy, house-infused sound, leading to their acclaimed collaboration “Cappadocia” on Cercle Records—a track that has now surpassed 40 million streams and earned Gold certification. After early releases like 

, Romain signed with Anjunadeep, where his project 

 earned critical praise in the French press and airtime on Sirius Chill in the US. His rise has been fast but thoughtful, taking him from Europe’s most iconic dancefloors—Printworks, Fuse, Phantom—to major shows in the US, South America, India, and Australia. His journey was even captured in a 90-minute France 2 documentary, “Romain Garcia, Naissance d’un DJ.”

2024 saw the release of Digital Diva, a reflective yet danceable ode to fleeting summer nights, followed by singles like Next To You, Alone, and Used To—all pointing toward the arrival of his debut album 

 in October 2025, marking the next stage of his artistic evolution.

Expect an evening of rich, melodic soundscapes that pull you in and keep you moving, framed by the city skyline and SI Roof’s innovative indoor-outdoor design.

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.
