❤️✨ For our next KREMFEST 2022! artist feature we can't wait any longer to say that we are so excited to be joined by legendary US Drum and Bass and Jungle pioneer, Jordana. ✨❤️

Jordana LeSesne is an American musician and producer originally from Pittsburgh. In the 90s, she established herself as one of the early pioneers of U.S. Drum and Bass, releasing a few albums for the New York-based Jungle Sky label as well as a plethora of singles and remixes.

Her first signed work was an atmospheric Drum 'n' Bass remix of Blondie's "Atomic" in 1995 for EMI/Chrysalis. Liquid Sky Music then started releasing her music in 1996, beginning with the compilation track "Dis Soun'" featured on This Is Jungle Sky, Vol. 2. The New York label also released a few murderous albums in the subsequent years, beginning with When Worlds Collide (1997) and continuing through Quality Rolls (1998) and The Cities Collection (2000). The first two albums were released under a numerical alias that you may have been familiar with which she now considers a deadname.

As both a producer and DJ, Jordana has toured the world as a headliner. She has also worked with artists such as Mike Joyce (formerly of The Smiths), Debbie Harry and Blondie, Lady Sovereign, MC Kinky from London/ffrr, Yellownote and TC Izlam from Liquid Sky Records. In England she played UK Garage as Lady J on Flex FM and at Trinity Nightclub.

Jordana has been featured or appeared in Resident Advisor, SPIN, Rolling Stone, Knowledge (UK), VIBE, Raygun, Urb, Mixmag, Out Magazine, VICE and many more, and has been listed in Raygun's "Who's Who of International DJs". She also made Out Magazine's OUT100 in 1999. 2014 saw her named in Harriet Magazine as "12 women in black music history you should know". In 2015 Mixmag named her as "20 women who shaped the history of dance music".

Around 2014, Jordana scored the documentary Free CeCe produced and directed by Jacqueline Gares and actress/director Laverne Cox. Jordana has dedicated her career to speaking publicly about trans issues and Black Lives and has been featured in several cultural books including New York Times bestseller ‘The Rise of the Creative Class’ by Richard Florida, Michaelangelo Matos’s ‘The Underground is Massive’ and ‘Rave Culture, an Insider’s Overview’ by Jimi Fritz and Virginia Smallfry. This work is close to home for Jordana as she’s a hate crime survivor herself.

Inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020, Jordana returned to public view with the politically-charged single ‘Fight For Our Lives’ and a handful of newer productions, teasing a full-album release. She DJ’ed part of Kremwerk’s online Pride celebrations as well as on Seattle, London and LA radio such as KEXP and dublab. In addition she performed on DnB Tuesdays Seattle's Livestream as her debut appearance at that event.

2021 saw her be invited by the prolific festival and brand Dekmantel to contribute to their podcast series and headlined on a lineup with Arca for Currents.fm as a part of Un/Tuck and Hot Mass. Additionally she appeared on the EQ50 Black Herstory stream which, supported by DJ Flight from the UK and DaFunk! made the debut appearance for the lineup online. Jordana was a writer and producer on the song “The Future” on Alpha Pup Records/ Producer Dojo with Mimi Page and ill.Gates August of 2021. An animated music video of "The Future" was also published to Youtube.

2022 will see Jordana return to performing in person at KREMFEST 2022!. Joined by DYER MC on the mic!
