Frankie Decaiza Hutchinson is a New York by way of UK electronic music promoter and grassroots organizer. She is one third of Discwoman, a collective, booking agency, and event platform representing and showcasing female talent in the electronic music community, who have pushed the needle on gender representation in techno. Frankie was also an active member of the Dance Liberation Network, a group of New York nightlife advocates who helped push the city of New York to repeal the Cabaret Law. The Cabaret Law was a century-old law, enacted with a racist intent, which was weaponized against nightclubs that catered to minority communities. We talked with Frankie at host Reed Dunlea's home in Brooklyn, and spoke about growing up in England, learning about race in America, the origins of Discwoman, the New York club scene, and what it feels like to effect change.
