There is a huge difference between
kids tagging in the street and graffiti artists. Graffiti still pushes
the envelopes in design and typography to new levels, more so than any
other design style. It is a true freeform style that doesn’t have the
usual rules and ‘accepted’ norms of design. You can see influences in
print, video, advertising, Web and any other form of visual design, so
obviously manufacturers are going to latch on to what is popular.

Behind the Groove with DJ Spinna
10p / $5 / (Hip Hop, Soul, Funk, Classics)

DJ Spinna is something of an anomaly in music. A humbling example of what it takes to truly succeed within the framework of multiple fields. A steadfast work ethic, an obsessively extensive vinyl library and the willingness to pursue the full extents of his roots (Funk, Soul and Jazz), foundation (Hip-Hop) and future (Electronic/Dance music) with no restraints have made Spinna one of the most successful and well-loved DJs in not just New York but the word. Tonight continues Behind the Groove, his monthly first Monday residency at APT.
