SARA SAYED (special disco tribute)
“Disco was the revolution. Disco was freedom, togetherness, love. Disco was dirty, spiritual, thrilling, powerful. Disco was secret, underground, dangerous. It was non-blond, queer, hungry. It was emancipation.
Before commercial success twisted the music into a polyester perversion on itself and wrenched the scene out of New York’s gay underground only to drop it into the funkless lap of mainstream America, disco was the hottest, sexiest, most redeeming and most deeply loving dance music there has been. It relied on phenomenal musicianship, it was often poetic and highly lyrical, it could be as experimental and as profound as it wanted, and it was always funky beyond the cause of duty.
As much as disco was glitzy and certainly loved celebrity culture, there was never a sense of it being driven by that. It was much more driven by an underground idea of unity. The manifesto was the music. Love Is The Message.”

Kenny Carpenter is considered by his peers in the music industry to be one of the forefathers of dance music. He has continued to play an integral role in the development of dance music since emerging on the club scene during the 70’s.
He began his career as a lighting technician working with some of the top DJ's such as the legendary Walter Gibbons and Rene Hewitt at some of New York’s City’s hottest underground clubs including The Galaxy 21, The Inferno and the loft. Kenny's big break came in the early 80’s, when he was hired to spin at Studio 54, New York City’s illustrious nightclub and playground for the rich and famous. Ken Carpenter’s unique style of blending tracks and vocals at this celebrated nightclub led to his subsequent resident DJ gig at Bond’s International Casino in the heart of Times Square. He became an overnight sensation by majestically conducting the party at this colossal dance space.
His popularity in NYC led to his first trip aboard to Israel to spin at the opening of the famed nightclub, The Colosseum. Since then, this superlative DJ has been blessed with the good fortune to travel across the globe spinning records in some of the worlds leading nightclubs in tens of countries all over the globe. Kenny's popularity and love for Italy resulted in his move to Rome in 2006. He is still keeping active, playing all over the world and producing new music.
Ken is also well respected by the music industry for the contributions he has made as a remixer and producer. He is accredited with remixing and producing dance tracks for various independent labels and artists, including his remix of "dance for life" by Kenny Bobien and his production of “ Seasons of Time“ on MAW records and the club anthem “Set It Off” on Jus Borne Records.
In 1999, Kenny was interviewed and appeared in the documentary “The Rise and Fall of Studio 54,” which was filmed for the BBC in England and was released throughout Europe. In addition, Kenny completed a CD compilation “Kenny Carpenter Presents Studio 54 the classics” on Logic Records (UK).
Kenny’s mixing prowess and dedication to his craft has enabled him to transcend time and adapt to the constant transformations within the music industry. Ken Carpenter’s spiritual interpretation of rhythm and his unceasing passion for music is the driving force behind his longevity within the music industry.
