Dj, 1983
By Keith Haring

Conversations
by Fred Brathwaite, Fred Schneider, Jellybean Benitez and Junior Vasquez
Throughout Keith Haring’s private and public life, he played and worked to the accompaniment of music. His personal relationship with DJ Juan Dubose, his friendships with people in the club scene and the recording industry, and his insatiable desire for new music guaranteed him a perpetual source of inspiration. At all hours of the day and night, his studio resonated with the sounds of an infinite variety of music; hip-hop, house, reggae, rap, disco, rock, classical, Caribbean, Brazilian, African, and Top 40. In his travels, he would always carry a selection of tape compilations made for him by various friends and DJs, which he would blast while painting murals as well as at the openings of his exhibitions.
