Francis Mercier: unKommon New Year's Eve Party
Dec 31, 2025
From: 8:00 PM to 3:00 AM
A high-voltage New Year’s Eve party transforms Little River Studios into an open-air dance sanctuary soundtracked by Afro house force Francis Mercier, whose global sensibility and melodic depth have made him a fixture on international festival lineups.
Originating from Haiti and now based in New York, Mercier has become one of the most recognizable names in modern Afro-electronic music. His productions, bridging ancestral rhythms, deep-house pulse and widescreen, cinematic atmosphere, have earned support from artists such as Black Coffee, Keinemusik and Diplo, while his own label, Deep Root Records, has helped shape a wave of genre-blurring, globally minded dance releases. His sets unfurl like ecstatic narratives: percussion-forward, soulful and built for dancers who measure time in crescendos rather than minutes.
The celebration unfolds Wednesday, December 31 from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m. at Little River Studios, presented by unKommon events and fueled by a four-hour open bar. Supporting sets from Aryme and unKommon extend the rhythm as the night gathers momentum.
A midnight countdown anchors the evening, surrounded by pulsing lights, wide-open warehouse energy and a crowd ready to step into a new year on the dancefloor. Limited tickets and VIP tables are available, and early arrival is recommended.
