Event Information

This summer Public Records is proud to present the audio work of Mo Yasin, the Virginia-born Brooklyn-based sound-system designer, DJ and event producer whose practices explore the connection between form and function in audio hardware and design. Looking to the traditions of Jamaican and UK sound system culture for inspiration, Yasin examines and uplifts the cultural narrative embedded in the musical history of the Black diaspora in his designs and productions. In 2020, during the height of the pandemic, Yasin channeled his creative energies into a sound system collaboration with a friend: a fully horn-loaded four-way speaker stack. Having presented it in numerous locations since its build, the project is an ever evolving one that explores the emotional impact of the collective listening experience. Over the course of the Summer, Public Records will host four Sunday events in our Garden to celebrate and lify Yasin’s work and showcase artists and collective that represent the expanse of dance music and culture in New York City. For the second event, we’ve invited Love Injections - the publication, radio show, and record label run by the dynamic DJ duo of Barbie Bertisch and Paul Paul Raffaele - to host and curate. At the core of their missions, the two aim to galvanize the music and nightlife communities in their celebrations of people and culture. Joining them is Zephyr Ann who’s disco-spanning draws upon history, narrative and nostalgia to craft unique emotional experiences and the man himself, Mo Yasin. Limited tickets will be sold at the door. Safe Space Policy: Public Records aims to provide a safer space for all.
