The Knockdown Center

On January 31, catch Wakyin as he returns to New York for a special night at the Knockdown Center. The Dominican-Puerto Rican artist has seen a rapid rise in the global music scene, fueled by his breakout track “Fruta Fresca”—a viral hit now sitting at over 65 million streams on Spotify and nearly 3 million views on YouTube.

Wakyin’s ability to fuse reggaeton, house, and Afro-Latin elements into high-energy sets has landed him on major stages across the U.S. and Europe. In the past year alone, he’s played at The Vanguard in Orlando, Jolene Soundroom in Miami, EDC Orlando, EDSEA, Under the K Bridge in NYC, Cova Santa in Ibiza, and Thuishaven in Amsterdam. One of his biggest milestones to date was going back-to-back with Gordo during a packed set in Ecuador—just a year after seeing him play GA.

This show takes place inside the Knockdown Center’s Ruins—a one-of-a-kind indoor-outdoor space known for its industrial architecture and intimate energy. It’s the perfect setting to experience Wakyin’s hybrid style, live and loud.

Don’t miss your chance to see one of the most talked-about new names in music right now. Grab your tickets and we’ll see you on the dance floor January 31.

Debut

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.
