DISCOVER YOUR INNER GROOVE WITH MUSIC THAT HITS YOU IN ALL THE RIGHT SPOTS

Every Night, 10 PM to 2 AM

WERS at night will wind you up and then simmer you down with a blend of smooth R&B, vintage Soul, and Slow Jams. The Secret Spot presents legends like Aretha Franklin and Marvin Gaye alongside big names like D'Angelo and Beyonce.

Meet the DJ:

D Danubian

An alumnus of Emerson College, WERS General Manager Howard Simpson programs and hosts The Secret Spot under the pseudonym "D Danubian."

Majoring in TV as an undergrad, D was pulled in by the power behind the microphone of radio broadcasting, launching his career as a junior at Emerson. He returned to campus and WERS after 15 years of building his skills in the commercial industry.

Training future leaders of the media industry is what D enjoys most about his job. Circumstance saw him assume programming and hosting duties.

He credits his mother for introducing him to a wide array of music, from Motown to the founders of Hip Hop.

 

 

"Since I haven't heard every song that exists, I consider myself a student of the music on The Secret Spot. It's an amazing opportunity to share what I learn and create a whole vibe," says D. In what spare time he has, D enjoys DC Comics and related media. He's also up for the challenges of a good role playing video game. Born in Roxbury MA, D now resides in Brockton MA with his wife Amy and son Michael.
