The Garden presents Francis Mercier (Extended Set)

Francis Mercier, a Haitian DJ and producer based in New York, brings his Afro house‑driven sound to Melkweg, Amsterdam, on 20 March 2026. As co‑founder of Deep Root Records and its afro/organic sister label Deep Root Tribe, he offers a blend where deep, melodic house, Caribbean influences and contemporary African rhythms converge.

In an extended set he allows time for long arcs of tension: slow builds, hypnotic layers, generous space for percussion and vocals, and transitions that gradually keep the dancefloor in motion.

Mercier emerged from the New York club scene in the mid‑2010s and has since worked across North America, Europe and Africa. His productions and remixes explore the intersection of warm textures and a tighter tech‑house pulse, with groove as the consistent thread. Live, this translates into a carefully measured flow in which rhythm and melody continually seek one another.

Expect a set that shifts between organic Afro house, melodic deep house and more percussive peaks without losing momentum. An evening for those who appreciate layers that slowly unfold and a dancefloor that keeps rolling.
