Don’t tell her that she’s the priestess of minimal techno, or that her example has paved the way for the wave of French female
DJ’s, you may well exasperate her. Jennifer Cardini is too natural and sincere to appreciate these compliments of caricature.
She’s a musical aficionado for whom only one thing counts: playing the right track at the right time. And like all the greats she

Don’t tell her that she’s the priestess of minimal techno, or that her example has paved the way for the wave of French female
DJ’s, you may well exasperate her. Jennifer Cardini is too natural and sincere to appreciate these compliments of caricature.
She’s a musical aficionado for whom only one thing counts: playing the right track at the right time. And like all the greats she
knows how to enhance the meaning of records with those which have the come before and those to follow.
She’s been imposing her tomboy style behind the European decks for over ten years now. Originally from the south of France,
she witnessed the birth of techno in France. She lived the first raves intensely, at a time when with one photocopied flyer you
could travel tens of kilometres to hear Jeff Mills or Laurent Garnier. She soon tried the decks out for herself one memorable
night in Nice in 1994. Detroit was the mecca of the era and Jennifer’s deep atmospheres and refined melodic textures
distinguished her sound even then. Like all deejays she’s known the downside of unpaid gigs and nights spent ‘on some
unknown train station’s bench’. But during those ecstatic and chaotic rave years she learnt how to take a reputable but
undansable record and get everyone dancing… She met Miss Kittin and Sex Toy with whom she started producing and launched
the Pussy Killers duo, with their brand of avant-garde electro-punk. This is the blueprint for the band of girls of the Pulp club,
Fany, Chloe… who were to breathe new life into Parisian clubbing at the end of the 90’s. « hide |
