Shepard Fairey Spins Top 40 Tunes during Fountain Art Fair – Miami New Times (blog)

?If he wasn’t a graphically inventive (albeit conceptually vacant) general art star, would any one give a shit about Shepard Fairey’s DJ sets? Nope. Not unless they were dipsomaniac as well as failing for a sip of radio-ready epicness.

But he’s a city slicker who invented OBEY as well as Obama’s debate poster. So Saturday night during Fountain Art Fair, Fairey was handed a superstar slot. Result: A solid tide of semi-ironic rock, classical hip-hop, as well as predicted punk cuts.

Make a burst for a video of DJ Shepard “Top 40″ Fairey during work, as well as a representation playlist.
