Francis Mercier Presents Solèy

Afro house, melodic house and Caribbean-rooted rhythms shape a late-night Art Week event led by Haitian DJ and producer Francis Mercier. Francis Mercier Presents Solèy takes place Thursday, December 3 at Little River Studios, presented by unKommon Events and Authentic Live. The 21-and-over event brings Mercier’s Solèy concept to Miami for a night centered on global dance music and cross-cultural sound. Mercier is known for house music that blends deep, melodic and worldly elements, drawing from African, Caribbean, Arabic, Latin and electronic influences. He is also the co-founder of Deep Root Records, a label and management company connected to international house and Afro house releases. Solèy, which means “sun” in Haitian Creole, is Mercier’s event concept built around warmth, rhythm and cultural exchange. The Miami edition continues his focus on bringing together sounds and artists from different parts of the world within a dance-floor setting.
