The Black Madonna (aka Marea Stamper) is a dance music veteran who fled the Midwest for Chicago, building her career from scratch in the city where house music was born. She is now one of the most in demand DJs in the world and we talk to her about her incredible trajectory, her current residency on Metropolis as well as her appearance at KCRW's Masquerade Ball.
