About This Event
At Public Records (upstairs), Descendants—an electronic DJ collective that frames New York club floors through a dialogue with South African sounds—play sets that move between amapiano, afro tech and gqom-adjacent energy, prioritizing pacing, blend and sustained pressure over showmanship. They are joined by Vigro Deep (Kamogelo Phetla), whose amapiano-rooted approach emphasizes rolling log drums, structural attention and drop placement, reinforcing a bill centered on continuity and groove discipline.
