Sweat Records announced the opening of a new space called Sweat Annex on Monday, September 21, 2026, in Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood. The annex adds to the store’s existing footprint and is designed to hold a larger selection of used vinyl records while also providing a venue for workshops, meetings and community gatherings.
The original Sweat Records shop has long been recognized as a staple independent record store in Little Haiti. Its reputation for curating an eclectic mix of music and fostering a welcoming atmosphere has made it a focal point for local collectors and music lovers.
The newly launched Sweat Annex will expand that role by offering additional inventory of pre‑owned vinyl, allowing patrons to explore a broader range of genres and rare finds. The space will also host regular workshops aimed at educating participants about vinyl care, record collecting and DJ techniques. In addition, the annex is set to serve as a meeting point for community groups, providing a flexible environment for gatherings, discussions and cultural events.
By creating a dedicated area for these activities, Sweat Records seeks to deepen its connection with the Little Haiti community. The annex offers a venue where music enthusiasts can share knowledge, collaborate on projects and celebrate the neighborhood’s cultural heritage without leaving the familiar setting of their trusted record store.
The launch of Sweat Annex marks a continued commitment by Sweat Records to support local music culture and community engagement. As the space begins to host its first workshops and meetings, residents and visitors alike can look forward to a vibrant hub that blends the store’s longstanding love of vinyl with new opportunities for learning and social interaction.
