19:26, Woo York, Layla Benitez, Belladonna & more

On Friday, October 2nd, 19:26 takes over Knockdown Center for his biggest New York headline show to date, joined by Woo York, Layla Benitez, Belladonna (ofc), and Melissa XYZ b2b L9.

The project of Italian producer Raffaele Sorrentini, 19:26 has become one of melodic techno’s most closely watched names since launching in Milan in 2019. His catalog spans Afterlife, Siamese, Zamna, and Fayer, with support from Tale Of Us, Tiësto, Fideles, CamelPhat, and more. Tracks including “XX,” “Reserva,” and “Mental Obsession” have become staples across clubs and festivals, while his touring history includes Hï Ibiza, Ushuaïa, Space Miami, Ziggo Dome, Zamna Tulum, and the Pyramids of Giza. Rooted in Naples, his music draws from ambient and neoclassical influences, pairing cinematic detail with the tension and weight of late night club music, built for the scale of this room.

Woo York bring their hardware based live show to Brooklyn, building and reshaping music in real time through drum machines, synths, and live equipment. The Ukrainian duo have released on Afterlife, Drumcode, Innervisions, Soma, and Dystopian.

Belladonna, the project of German born producer Nico Chiara, joins after his breakout “WHERE I’M FROM” with Cassian and Script reached No. 1 on Beatport’s Melodic House & Techno chart. Melissa XYZ b2b L9 complete the lineup.

Set inside a 150 year old former door factory, Knockdown Center provides the scale for a night built around immersive sound, tension, and long form sets.
