Fiona Kraft

A piano inside the club

The emotional architecture of Fiona Kraft's sets is born from the intersection of piano, Afro percussion, progressive tension, and dancefloor energy. She moves between Afro House, Deep House, Tech House, and progressive house without being confined to a single label: she develops patient journeys, luminous harmonies, and euphoric bursts with musicality as the common thread. She grew up in a family where music was part of daily life; her father is a musician and she studied piano from childhood. As a teenager, a first night at a club and Make Your Move by Dave Armstrong sparked her passion for electronic music.

Sundays at La Plateforme, learning without shortcuts

In 2014, she began DJing after training on her own with a Serato controller. The Sunday residency at La Plateforme, a barge in Lyon, became her school: there she learned to read the crowd, manage energy, and build a set in real time. That same self-taught discipline led her to produce in 2018 with Logic and Ableton, keeping the keyboard as a central tool. She debuted in 2019 with Arenaz for Tinnit Music. In 2021, Nomad, released by Sudam Recordings, received support from Black Coffee and Luciano and expanded her international reach.

From Connected to the independence of NON MERCI

In 2022, she released The Beat of Freedom on Connected, featuring the vocals of Tanja Monies. A year later, the EP Deeper Feelings incorporated remixes by Manoo and MAGA; that period added Flashback on Kazukuta Records and her version of Alter He-Go by Gab Rhome for Disco Halal. These releases established a recognizable signature of firm percussion, expressive chords, deep layers, and piano progressions.

The founding of NON MERCI MUSIC in 2024 marked the step toward editorial control. The label was born to host music free from rigid boundaries and debuted with The Base. Later came Man Oh War with Lazarusman and Soul Free with Robert Owens and Angelos. In 2025, she continued with Dreams and Let go alongside LOV, the remix of D'jambu by Paul Christian, and her take on Midnight Rhythm by Ivan Masa. In 2026, she released You know and the EP ONYVA, in addition to a remix by Rocco Rodamaal for Dreams. ONYVA links her melodic sensibility with echoes of Detroit techno and hi-tech jazz.

Large venues, intimate narrative

Her schedule has included Hï Ibiza, fabric in London, Watergate in Berlin, Caprices Festival, Untold Festival, Fusion Festival, and Pacha Festival in Buenos Aires, with performances in Europe, Asia, Africa, and America. In the booth, she combines technical precision and emotional reading; in the studio and at the helm of her label, she prioritizes composition, risk, and freedom of movement between genres. This dual status as a producer and selector places her in a unique zone of the international circuit, where Afro House, progressive house, and melodic electronica meet without losing depth.
