Electric Zoo Hyperspace continues to be one of the most anticipated and, as Elle recently shared, “electrifying” festivals of the year returning to Randall’s Island Park in New York City this Labor Day weekend. 

Today, they are thrilled to shine a spotlight on the exhilarating Cityfox x Gray Area curated stage: MEGAFOX. This collaboration presents a festival within a festival as Cityfox and Gray Area join forces to curate an immersive journey into the sounds of melodic house, tech house, and techno like never before at Electric Zoo’s brand new MegaMirage stage and their 2022 minted Morphosis stage. 

Cityfox, renowned for their rich history spanning over a decade, has become synonymous with enthralling events and unforgettable moments at iconic venues such as Avant Gardner and Brooklyn Mirage. The New Yorker adds that it has “regularly thrown opulent, outsized events with generous lineups, laser shows, and sparkling décor.” Gray Area is known for curating events that reveal new and exciting talent to dancers across the planet. Gray Area exposes the connective tissue between sub-genres and sub-cultures, consistently offering NYC a wide variety of the finest electronic artists in the world with a mission that Forbes noted “to unite people on the dancefloor.” Between the heavyweight underground lineups of Cityfox, combined with the eclectic taste of Gray Area, promise to create a sonic adventure that transcends the typical festival experience.

“Once upon a time, Cityfox ignited a new era of house music in New York, bringing their European innovations in production and sound to Brooklyn's vibrant scene. Later, Gray Area was born, a New York house music community echoing the city's energy. Now, we're combining these two forces at the heart of Electric Zoo, New York’s electronic music festival. We're not just hosting a house music festival within a festival; we're merging sounds, cultures, and fans to create a stronger, more united house music community.” - Michael Julian (Gray Area Founder) 

The lineup is a powerhouse of top-notch performers, boasting favorites such as legendary DJ Skream as well as Camelphat who share “we can't wait to come back to New York…it's a special place for us and even more special that we are playing on the City Fox stage at Electric Zoo ... .Don't miss out!”. Joining in on the fun will be the boisterous Desert Hearts Crew who are truly the life of any party.

MEGAFOX additionally offers fans the chance to catch rare US live sets from globally renowned artists Stephan Bodzin, Matador, and Recondite who adds that “it is always a great opportunity to explore the gray area between techno, underground and EDM. I'm happy to be part of ELECTRIC ZOO NY to do exactly that.” 

Enigmatic UK sensation Sam Divine will be lighting up the stage with her “pure, unadulterated house music” that has earned the love of fans all over the world. Francis Mercier continues to be one of the most buzzing acts around, promising to mesmerize fans with his smooth house grooves. Massano, who has been heavily championed by Tale of Us, will take the stage, sharing his excitement saying “after the insane energy at my sold out NYC debut show in May, I’m so excited to come back to the city Labor Day weekend to perform at such a special festival, the world-renowned, Electric Zoo!” 

Pioneering acts Andhim & Brina Knauss add even more depth to this lineup, each showcasing stunning melodic compositions and cutting-edge sounds to weave a truly special and distinguished sonic tapestry.
