Fault Radio Talks: A Conversation with Matt Black (Coldcut/Ninja Tune)
Interview by Chris Zaldua

You might not think you know Matt Black, but you probably know Coldcut, the groundbreaking duo who expanded the reaches of hip-hop and redefined what was possible with DJing. Even if you don't know Coldcut, you probably know Ninja Tune, one of the most successful (and longest running) independent record labels in the world. And if you know either of these two projects, then you know Matt Black: he's one half of Coldcut and co-founded Ninja Tune. And Black's new album, Keleketla drops next month — on Ninja Tune, naturally.
On this episode of Fault Radio Talks, we catch up with Matt for a short-but-sweet chat about some of what he's working on today, like Pirate TV, a re-launch of the live music livestream that Coldcut first launched more than 20 years ago. We even talk about EDM — and the conversation doesn't go where you might think. Hosted by San Francisco DJ and writer Chris Zaldua, aka DJ CZ.
