For the release of her first album “Black Pearl” , we had a chat with french dj Bloody Mary

Q: You moved to Berlin a few years ago. What is the biggest difference
between the clubs in your birth country France and your new homeland
Germany?
A: Yes, it’s been four years. And for a long, long time before that,
electronic music was already a true cultural establishment. And I
guess it’s the number one country in Europe for this. So, the biggest
difference is that the clubs are better here!

Q: This is your first release for Contexterrior . What is your favorite
release from the label’s past?
A: Well, it’s my first solo release for the label, but last year I did
“Strangers in All Lands” with my friends as the Gypsy Family ( Quenum ,
Dachshund and myself). As for my favorite Contexterrior —I really
like #7 by Jay Haze vs.  Mikael Stavöstrand .

Q: You received studio help from Sierra Sam and Jay Haze . Is there
anything in particular you learned from them?
A: Ha ha… Yes, one thing: patience!

Q: You got Argenis Brito and Danton Eeprom to provide guest vocals for
your new album. How did you approach them to collaborate?
A: I have known Danton for a long time, since we come from of the same
city in France. So it was great to have a personal friend for one
track! And for Argenis, he is a friend of Jay and Sam. I’m familiar
with his great work, and after he heard my request and the
instrumental track, he said yes, let’s do it!

Q: You said that Baudelaire’s ‘Les Fleurs du Mal’ was an influence on
this album. What else have you been reading lately?
A: Yes, this album was influence from his work because to me, it
reflects real life. Another pick of mine is ‘La Dame aux Camelias’ by
Alexandre Dumas fils. I do have a lot of free time to read while
waiting in the airports!
