Francis Mercier Pops the Cork: The New Afro House Anthem ‘Champagne’

The global Afro House scene just got its new summer anthem, and it tastes exactly like ‘Champagne’.

Haitian DJ, producer, and the mastermind behind Deep Root Records, Francis Mercier, has dropped another masterclass. His new single isn’t just another dance track; it’s a high-energy, soulful bridge between global rhythm and undeniable pop appeal.

A Masterclass in Chemistry

For this one, Mercier didn’t go it alone. He’s teamed up with the velvet-voiced Massala and North London’s own LexBlaze. The result is a perfect storm of individual talent:

• Francis Mercier’s Signature Groove: You can always tell a Mercier track by the way he layers vibrant, organic percussion with deep, melodic hooks. He’s got this rare ability to make electronic music feel tactile and alive.

• Massala’s Soul: Her vocal performance is the heartbeat of the track—euphoric, soothing, and perfectly placed over the beat.

• LexBlaze’s Flow: Lex brings that signature UK charisma, adding a layer of rhythmic, playful edge that keeps the energy high from start to finish.

Why It’s Your New Summer Essential

If you’ve been looking for that song to soundtrack those “brighter moments”—whether you’re hitting the beach or getting ready for a big night out—this is it. It’s got that rare quality of being a radio-ready pop song that still carries the spiritual, percussive weight that makes Afro House so addictive. It’s lighthearted, it’s infectious, and it’s arguably one of the most polished records Mercier has put his name on.

The Mercier Movement

Francis Mercier is doing more than just putting out music; he’s actively curating a global conversation. By weaving his Haitian and Caribbean heritage into the DNA of the modern house scene, he’s earned the respect of heavy hitters like Black Coffee and Diplo, while staying deeply connected to his roots.

Through his label, Deep Root Records, he’s championing a sound that breaks down barriers between cultures and genres. With ‘Champagne’, he proves once again that his focus isn’t just on chart success—it’s on building a community through the universal language of dance.
