This New York-based DJ and artivist amplifies the sounds of the African diaspora with every spin. You'll catch DJ Sabine Blaizin — who is of Haitian descent — moving audiences with, as she phrases it, "Global Soul: House, Afrotech, Afrobeat, Haitian Roots, and other diasporic tunes." In 2018, she was a resident DJ for Fania Records' Fania Collective. Blaizin was also the resident DJ for Latin nightclub Subrosa's signature monthly "Cumbancha" party. She curates a party at Le Bain called "REKÒLTE: A Night of Haitian Roots & House" and is a resident DJ for House of Yes in NYC and Ona Mundial in Mexico. Most recently, she spun in Miami, but has curated the vibes across the country and internationally in Cuba, Haiti, France, the Netherlands, and Senegal, among other locales. Sabine was the featured DJ for the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art's 50th Anniversary. Whether the first lady of Oyasound is cultivating collective spaces of joy on the dance floor via Brooklyn Mecca, also known as "the home of Grassroots Dance Culture," or culturally empowering rooms with her project, Lakay Se Lakay, where she partners with Haiti-centered organizations, she's ensuring the communities she's a part of are being supported.
