Jennifer Cardini
For more than 15 years, Jennifer Cardini has been working the European
electronic dance music circuit. Her early influences came from Detroit,
Chicago, and Cologne, which led her to play primarily house music in the late
‘90s at clubs in France; but time and experience allowed her style to develop
into the more experimental techno sets she’s known for today. After her move
to Paris in 1998, Cardini ultimately became one of the first of a generation of
French DJ’s to play the stripped-down Berlin sound that would eventually
settle into a distinctive movement in electronic music – ‘minimal’ even before
that genre term became popular. In Paris, she quickly became a resident at
two of the most influential venues at the time - Le Pulp, which turned into the
underground hot spot for avante-garde music, and Rex Club, which continues
to be the site of her groundbreaking “Correspondant” parties. It has been at
these shows that her skill and passion for music became fully realized, and
where she earned her reputation as an icon in electronic music culture. Over
the course of her career, Cardini has continued to work hard and constantly
improve, landing her regular appearances at elite venues like Fabric in London,
Panorama Bar in Berlin or Robert Jonhson in Frankfurt. Cardini also reached a
major milestone in 2008, becoming the first female French artist to sign with
Kompakt, with the release of her compilation, Feeling Strange. In addition to
her DJ work, Cardini’s productions have also been successfully on target on .
These carefully crafted tracks have been slowly released over the years, but
they have landed solidly on techno powerhouse labels like Crosstown Rebels,
Mobilee and Kill the DJ. Most recently, Cardini has been spending more time
continuing her production efforts, focusing on her current solo projects. She is
also starting her own label, Correspondant, as an outlet for her musical vision.
