MUMBAI: Echoing the spirit of her club shows, the weekly global broadcast will be fluent and dynamic, showcasing the best from disco to techno to house and back, maybe stopping by a little drum and bass on the way. The Black Madonna will share each weekly episode and tracklist online via her official website (here) and intends to impart to listeners insight into her phenomenal knowledge of music, all delivered with her inimitable energy and character.
‘We Still Believe’ began as three magic words scrawled in shoe polish on a broken-down box and hung with Christmas lights on the wall at a small sweaty party. Before The Black Madonna transformed from a hometown hero into one of the most respected DJs on the planet, she needed to believe something better was possible. ‘If you don’t have any hope, then write some up and hang it on the wall’, says The Black Madonna.
Since then, The Black Madonna (AKA Marea Stamper) became the first woman to be named Mixmag’s DJ of the year and cracked the list of top 10 DJ’s on the planet in the Resident Advisor poll, challenging stereotypes every step of the way. In her new position as one of the most sought after DJs around, The Black Madonna maintains her deep commitment to social justice. From working directly with queer women DJ’s in Uganda to becoming an ambassador for Help Refugees, she remains vocal and pro-active in human rights projects.
