Nigerian superstar SPINALL returns to New York for a proper rooftop party at Superior Ingredients on February 21, 2026. One of Africa’s most influential DJs and producers, Spinall has spent over a decade reshaping the sound of Afrobeats. 

A multi-award-winning artist, he’s performed at major festivals including Coachella, Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, and ACL, becoming the first Afrobeats DJ to perform on two consecutive Coachella weekends. Joining him on the lineup are AQUTIE, Sydni Luv, DONIS, and Love Bonez, bringing a full spectrum of Afro-diaspora sounds to the roof from start to finish

His discography reads like a map of modern African music, with hits such as “Nowo,” “Palazzo,” “Loju,” “Baba,” and “Fake Love” soundtracking dance floors worldwide. A global collaborator, Spinall has worked alongside Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy, Tiwa Savage, Summer Walker, and DJ Snake, while earning multiple Beatz, Afrimma, and Soundcity MVP awards.

AQUTIE has quickly become one of New York City’s most important voices in the global African dance music movement, building a decade-long career rooted in her Harlem upbringing and South African-Guinean heritage. Widely recognized for her ability to blend amapiano, Afro house, and more, she’s earned bookings on major stages worldwide including Coachella, Boiler Room, Brooklyn Mirage, Brooklyn Navy Yard, Time Warp, Savaya Bali, Piano People, Lightning in a Bottle, Sound Nightclub LA, and Knockdown Center. 

Beyond touring, AQUTIE has played a major role in helping shape amapiano’s footprint in NYC through community-building event concepts like AMAPIANO NYC and Heat House, pushing a once-unfamiliar sound into the city’s club rotation.

Her impact has been amplified through features in outlets like Billboard, DJ Mag, Beatport, PAPER, Mixmag, and NTS, alongside standout collaborations and shared stages with elite names across house and Afro-diasporic scenes including Keinemusik, Black Coffee, Louie Vega, ANOTR, Dennis Ferrer, Aluna, Loco Dice, Uncle Waffles, DBN Gogo, Lion Babe, and Shermanology, cementing her reputation as both a tastemaker and a true global selector.

Nigerian DJ and producer Sydni Luv joins the party. Raised between The Bronx and Miami with deep roots in Lagos, she’s built her name through standout sets spanning Afrobeats, Alté, and Hip-Hop, while opening for major artists like Ari Lennox, Little Simz, Runtown, Aminé, Kari Faux, and Keke Palmer. Her reach has extended onto international stages with performances at AfroNation Puerto Rico and AfroNation Chop Vegas, and she continues to move between Lagos, London, and New York as her profile grows. 

Also spinning on the Gray Area decks is DONIS and Love Bonez. From Spinall's Lagos roots to his international tours across the U.S., U.K., and Europe, Spinall’s sets blend Afrobeats, house, and cross-cultural rhythms into one seamless groove. Presented by Gray Area and Superior Ingredients, this Brooklyn rooftop takeover promises a pulse of warmth, movement, and connection—an unmissable day-to-night celebration of global sound. Tickets are limited—secure yours early for an afternoon that defines the rhythm of modern Africa.
