On Saturday, October 3rd, Simon Doty returns to New York for an extended set at Refuge. Joining him is Brussels producer and DJ EMJIE.

Over the past several years, Simon Doty has become one of the standout names in melodic house and techno. Following the release of his debut album Universal Language on Anjunadeep, the Canadian producer launched his own imprint, Recess, shifting his focus toward groove driven, club focused records while maintaining the melodic depth that first brought him international recognition.

His world tour supporting Universal Language spanned more than 60 dates, with performances at Brooklyn Mirage, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, The Gorge Amphitheatre, Savaya Bali, and Fabric London. Along the way, his productions have earned support from Sasha, Hot Since 82, Jamie Jones, Carl Cox, Pete Tong, and Danny Howard, while releases on Anjunadeep, Toolroom, This Never Happened, and Definitive have established him as one of Canada’s leading electronic artists.

Joining the lineup is EMJIE, one of the fastest rising names in melodic house and techno. Hailing from Brussels, Belgium, she has built momentum through releases on Tomorrowland Music, Zamna Records, and Interstellar Recordings, earning support from Adriatique, Mind Against, Argy, and Kevin de Vries. Her recent performances at Tomorrowland, Zamna, and clubs across Europe have continued to expand her international profile.

With Simon Doty behind the decks for an extended set and EMJIE opening the night, expect an immersive journey through melodic house, rolling grooves, and late night club music inside Refuge.
