Matthew Clement is a DJ, educator, and the founder of The DJ Diaries. With 25+ years behind the decks across Canada and South Korea, he documents dance music culture from inside the booth — not the press release. He teaches Business Communications, Marketing, and Multimedia Content Design at university level, and spends his off-hours digging through genre histories, club scenes, and the machines that shaped the sound.
