“I DO BELIEVE THIS MUSIC HOLDS SOMETHING DEEPER THAN JUST DANCING. THIS IS WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT WHEN I WAS 17 AND REALIZED I WAS GAY. I FELT LIKE AN OUTSIDER IN MY STUFFY HOMETOWN, BUT SUDDENLY THE DISCO WELCOMED ME INTO A COMMUNITY.” - JENNIFER CARDINI For the last 30 years, French-born Berlin-based Jennifer Cardini has been welcoming people into the discotheque. Her belief that something more was hidden under the surface of electronic music has put her at the helm of tiny sweaty lesbian bars, flamboyant Ibiza superclubs, and precarious off-the-beaten-path warehouse raves. The sometimes-gothic always-seductive wave-laced house music she canonized in her mixes, record labels (Correspondant, DISCHI, FÆRIES), remixes, and productions helped rephrase the world's understanding of the French dance music scene.
