On March 8th, 2024, we're thrilled to bring the Peruvian-rooted, Berlin-based music powerhouse, 



Riding high from the acclaim of her album "

," expect Sofia's performance to be a captivating journey through her entrancing musical landscapes. Her sound, which perfectly blends her Latin American roots with the dynamic vibe of Berlin's electronic scene, offers more than just melodies. It tells a story of resilience and hope, showcasing how music can bring people together and heal.

Tracklist: https://bit.ly/skcmix

@sofia-kourtesis: "I like to think of myself a half Peruvian, half German, this mix was my best shot at showing those two sides of my musical upbringing. For the first half I transported myself to a Peruvian rooftop, playing as the sun goes down. The second half takes me to Berlin, moving to tracks a little harder and darker"

Sofia's story is as compelling as her music. From overcoming challenges in her personal life, including her mother's battle with cancer, to her rise as a beacon of creativity and activism, her journey resonates in every beat she plays. Her set on The Roof is not just a performance; it's a celebration of life's triumphs over adversity.

In the past year, Sofia has played on massive stages at major global events like ION Festival in Albania and Electronik Festival, performing alongside renowned artists such as 

. Her participation in prestigious festivals like Sonar and Elevate has further cemented her status as a dynamic force in the scene.

Si Te Portas Bonito

Expect to be mesmerized by tracks that are a testament to her journey, from the deeply personal "Madres" to the vibrant "

," each song a chapter in her remarkable story. And with her commitment to activism, particularly in gender equality and queer rights, Sofia's performance is more than entertainment – it's an inspiration.


Joining Sofia is Dave DK, a prolific DJ and producer since the early '90s who has made significant contributions to the electronic music scene with a diverse sound that spans house, techno, and early '90s dancefloor music. His career highlights include releasing albums on Moodmusic and Kompakt, and collaborating with artists like Holger "Smash TV" Zilske.

Beyond his production work, Dave DK has hooked audiences worldwide, playing in prestigious parties across Amsterdam, Berlin, Mexico, Spain, and many other countries, showcasing his unique ability to blend tragic melodies with proper grooves.

Another lovely addition to this incredible evening is Corinne. This isn't Corinne's first rodeo with a Gray Area show, as she has played support for our last Denis Sulta show. Moreover, she has recorded on the Lot Radio and played Electric Island. We're happy to have Corinne back.

What better venue to host such an artist than the Roof at Superior Ingredients? The magical skyline hugs the backdrop of the retractable glass rooftop. A massive disco ball glistening over the dancers on the floor sets the tone and stage for such a special night.

Join us for an evening where music transcends us, where the rhythms of Peru blend with the beats of Berlin, and where each note tells a story of struggle, triumph, and hope. Sofia Kourtesis on The Roof – a night of music, emotion, and unforgettable memories.

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.
