    About This Event

    Patrice Espérant is an emerging electronic artist whose recorded work draws on chanson and who maintains a modest but growing Spotify following; they bring the recurring concept Haitian Vinyl Night [UPSTAIRS] to Public Records. The series treats DJing as a listening practice and cultural documentation, moving through Haitian vinyl as source material and prioritizing selection, context, lineage, rhythm and atmosphere.

    About Haitian Vinyl Night

    Haitian Vinyl Night lands at Public Records in New York, framed as a live listening-and-performance session with an electronic spine. Patrice Espérant is among the featured performers, working from records and hardware to trace how Haitian musical memory travels through diaspora dance floors. In a city where Caribbean nightlife is often filed under “world” programming, the night reads as a corrective, treating Haitian sound as part of contemporary electronic practice. Its value is in the context it builds as much as the tracks it plays.
