About
DJ Matt Werner is a literary DJ from the San Francisco Bay Area. While at the University of Edinburgh, Matt DJed a weekly radio interview program on Fresh Air: The Alternative.
Each week on his Fresh Air show, DJ Matt Werner interviewed a provocative musician or author challenging the status quo of the music or literary scenes. DJ Matt Werner has interviewed Talib Kweli, Saul Williams, Dahlak Brathwaite, Kid Beyond, Dave Smallen, Fr. Bruno Clifton, George Watsky, Ise Lyfe, MC Lars, and Maciej Zurawski among other artists. DJ Matt Werner is hoping to launch a video-based short-form interview show in 2010, and make the video podcasts available online.
In his DJ routines, Matt hopes to raise the level of public discourse by recontextualizing eloquent voices of the present and past in a format readily accessible to the web 2.0/hip hop generation.
Matt also does volunteer work for three nonprofits: The Global Micro-Clinic Project, Sparkseed, and Night on the Streets–Catholic Worker.
