Josh Martinez DJ EPSR

DJ EPSR is a local DJ who has been spinning vinyl since the late 90’s. He is also a well known local graffiti artist. His graffiti includes spray paint, wheat pasted images, and sculpture. More recently both his free public art and gallery art has focused on showing the odd, but recognizable, relationship between Hip Hop and Classic Country. He has developed a theory through his study of music that the two cultures actually have a great deal in common. Humble beginnings, grandiose attitude, flashy style, beats and storytelling are just a few places that these seemingly different cultures collide. This theorem has not only influenced his art but his musical selections as well. DJ EPSR has been sharing his love of music by sharing his DJ skills through workshops offered at the local elementary school, and is working on a plan to offer more classes to local youth interested in learning how to play, mix, and manipulate vinyl the old school way…without computers.
