Zambezi Kind of Love - A Gift Mix for + from Danielle + Hywell
Clean
April 24, 2013 10:14 PM PDT
itunes pic

Compiled by Dan & Hy, woven into a love story by Marv.

And theirs is a true love story, spanning continents.

Décollage comes from the French word décoller (take off, unstick). Décollage in French also means "take off" during airplane travel.

How does that matter?

There was a walk, with wine, on a once in a life time fine line. He didn't get the chance to say yes, she changed her dress.

Impressed and interest, she read his eyes and guessed, 'You got the love.'

Seeing soul through the diamonds the shoes, oh baby, he knew what he knew, 'She's the one to care for.'

He thought that if he could get her to the Zambezi he could wait for the right moment, daydreaming the rush of the river, the brightest sun, quite poetically he'd pose, "Do you remember the day you said I'll be the only one? 'Cause I remember the way you held my gaze my lovely one. Do you remember the day you let me be the only one? 'Cause I remember making love to you under the sun."

"By a river underneath the mango tree my love, you're the one, you're the one...you're the one."

Tent

Sandstorm

Here comes the sun.

Newlywed wedding mix? Yes. I don't want to bore you, maybe you'll be amazed by the sound of Greenpoint+Vumba? Knocks me off my feet.

Shared at the request of radiance, if you ain't got this in your collection of DJ Marv Makes Lovers Love...(a bit long for an alias)...

A te.

"A te?"

That's "For you" in Italian

Qool Marv Moonlights at Red Rooster and Ginny's Supper Club on February 14th 2013

Red Rooster and Ginny's Supper Club are both at 310 Lenox but they are considered independent of each other. You have to head to the staircase beyond the Rooster hostesses and go downstairs to enter Ginny's.

In 2013 forward, I've been playing mostly upstairs but on this night I played in both venues because Ginny's wanted a little more love in the air after the exceptional Maya Azucena and her band ended their performance.

Rooster folks stayed entertained by my sounds too because Red Rooster and Ginny's have a great audio system and they are interconnected. Upstairs can hear downstairs in the event of something special, like Valentine's Day.

Thank you HBO and management of the Rolling Stones for electing me to preside over the music for the post screening party for their documentary entitled Crossfire Hurricane.

Earlier this same day The Rolling Stones also released "GRRR!" - a 3/4 disc set of remastered classics with a couple of new tunes. http://www.rollingstones.com/grrr/

This night need to sound celebratory. Celebrating 50 years of the Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll with plenty of doses of soul. Members of the band wanted a night about them to also celebrate the artists that influenced them. There was a moment in the evening while the 3rd of 3 Rolling Stone's songs in-a-row was playing and Mick sent over a friend to let me know that I was doing alright with the soul and more heaping doses please.

They kept on with the keep on, the rock on, the get your groove on, and the c'mon.

Roll on...play on.

Stones fans, sure, fantasize about what you would've played...there are so many more songs that I wanted to play, but again, this night was about them and what they wanted to hear and represent...

"You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need"

Thanks to FK and DB, a fun group of friends and family enjoyed a destination celebration in Tulum, Mexico.

This party was THE party party and thanks to the guest of honor and a few of the party people, I had a blueprint of a lot of 80s, some contemporary Pop, a few 'guilty pleasures,' a whole lotta Madonna and just a little bit of hip hop Bhangra. Anytime I do a birthday party, or wedding, I like to ask for favorite songs so I can have the best idea about what to rock when the party gets rolling.

This is what this eclectic and cool dj sounds like when he plays songs that you and everyone knows and it's quite fun!

High On The Verve at the Soho House Qool Marv's 7th Re-Vision | Election Night (U.S.A.) 2012

It's probably a once in four years occasion for Soho House to install televisions on their exquisite 6th floor. This is a recording from election night 2012.

Many instrumentals and few vocals were in the atmosphere in the air that evening.

I'll never forget that night, however, I have forgotten most of these tracks : )

Enjoy this fluid flow from an American who was born on the 4th of July in Philadelphia.

Born to be alive and great to be alive during times that will always be remembered.

Cheers to history.

Qool Marv Live at Red Rooster Harlem | Recorded on October 25 2012
Explicit
October 26, 2012 11:01 AM PDT
itunes pic

A night of debuts featuring a medley of re-amplified classics. An evening where I gave all my other Red Rooster classics the night off to make room for some new takes on tunes good folks know and love.

I enjoy the added thump on these songs that are wonderful in their original forms. The added kicks and loop manipulations gives DJs a better chance at keeping this kind of soul and groove alive because the additional production gives these songs a sonic resonance comparable to their contemporary counter-parts. In other words, the beat doesn't drop (out) when you play these classics that should always be in rotation.

Most say the DJ is 'killin' it,' I prefer to revive it. Qool__Marv is from the 'this party is live' era.

Every set includes something else. Revising re-visions regularly refreshes realities.

The poster is of Ella Fitzgerald singing to Duke Ellington and others. Duke has the biggest smile.

I play music as a DJ because I can't play Jazz as a musician.

Piano players are the only people I envy. I do my best, however, because Jazz mindedness means that I improvise every time. I may repeat songs, rarely do I repeat sets.

Each audience is unique and deserves a unique performance: http://djqoolmarvsounds.podomatic.com/entry/2010-10-10T04_38_03-07_00

The Grand Classic Sounds of New York (Qool DJ Marv's Director's Cut)
Clean
November 16, 2010 08:09 PM PST
itunes pic

This concept was done three times before as CD length mixes. Realizing that I can go beyond the 75 or 80 minutes of a CD, at last, I have put together the best of the three previous Classic Sounds Of New York.

This mix has been on this page before, here's a replacement or revision. Whatever's clever.

Here's the back story followed by the updated tracklisting:

I love those classic New York movies that have scenes where someone’s keeping their night going by heading to a friend’s afterparty and when they walk in, there’s a mini-jazz orchestra providing the grooves. This is happening in someone’s apartment! The bandleader with the baton bopping with a welcoming smile.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOlpcJhNyDI&feature=related

I’ve never had the pleasure but I recently read in Stanley Crouch collection of essays called Considering Genius that Wynton Marsalis gets down like that for real, presently. This is an I Love New York mix that I got commissioned to compile by a special events consultant extraordinaire (Bowen & Company) that was organizing an affair involving the unveiling of a new Donald Trump penthouse suite.

A nice new place was on display and my job here was to give the room a classic and grand sound. I’ve got a real soft spot for singers like Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra and for jazz in general so this was one of those ‘they pay me to do this(?)’ kind of assignments. http://www.bowenandco.com/

I didn’t get the chance to see the place so I just imagined being on the top of the Empire State building and looking around or re-imagined walking around great neighborhoods all over New York City. Watched some movies like Cotton Club, Harlem Nights, Breakfast At Tiffany's, and Manhattan and imagined what it might be like to be a jazz loving socialite way back when.

This is a city that never ceases to astound and I wish I was around to see performances of all these sounds. Play these songs however, and I feel like I’m right there, then. So glad that I’m right here, now. I do love New York and I hope that this is a keepsake to us proper or former New Yorkers and maybe a delectable enticement to those who want to visit New York proper.

Some titles appear more than once because all the versions are outstanding, yet, performed completely differently. That's Jazz. Enjoy New York City on the Jazz hand side.

Billy Joel - New York State Of Mind
Dinah Washington - Manhattan
Sarah Vaughn - Autumn in New York
Eric Satie - Gymnopepie No.3
Henry Mancini - Breakfast At Tiffany's
Eric Reed - Englishman in New York
Sarah Vaughn - Lullaby Of Broadway

Ella Fitzgerald - Manhattan
Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra - Take The "A" Train

Back in the house of the everlasting lovebirds. Again, let's listen in on this couple's house:

She loves him and loves love and that's all good but the greatest love of all after all is, "Learning To Love Me - Charles Webster featuring Diviniti"

All ears with few words, he responds, "I Understand You - Charles Webster"
She assures, "Here With You - The Layabouts"

He had no doubt and has no doubt about how much of she is in he, "You're In My System - The System (Jerome Sydenham & Kerri Chandler's Atmospheric Vocal Mix)"

She welcomes his inviting eyes and exciting words, "Inside My Love - Trina Broussard (Remixed By Timmy Regisford And Karizma)"

Following her to where she wants to, he adores and anticipates, "There You Are - Gene Farris featuring Russoul"

The curtain closes/intermission
"Lionel's Jam - Miguel Migs"
"Makes Me Love You- Eclipse"

Sometimes she can be vocal, "Crown Royal - Jill Scott (Remixed By Timmy Regisford And Quentin Harris"

And he can appreciate what she says, who she is, and what she means to him, "Fortunate - Maxwell"

But he's still thirsty and something tells him to treat her right if indeed it is not time for good night. "Night Song - Sandboy & Nanar"

Relaxed, reassured, & revived she reveals more, "Worth Your While (Dub) - Autumn"

Love'nTruth&Hope'n imagined and practiced by Qool DJ Marv

This is like an R&B mix, except at house music tempo. Modern day R&B songs about love & relationships, you have to admit, a lot of heartache & gripe...well, it is Rhythm & BLUES. Turn on the radio and the guys are saying, in effect, 'come here freak-ho-b*tch-gold-digger (& sometimes lady), shake it wiggle it and let me do that thing to you,' and the ladies are answering, "If I'm all that and just SOMETIMES a lady, then you need to know that you only getting this because you buy me these (insert shoe-bag-hair-vacation-car-rent). I don't need you anyway, dog...yeah I know about her. You must not know about me, I got this."

Essentially. With few exceptions. http://vimeo.com/28297270

This is an R&B conversation too. The mature version. The down here on the ground version.

Let us listen in on this couple's house:

Said he, "A Day Without U - Osunlade"

Answered she...with a reaction by him, "My Reflection (Original) - Osunlade"

Then he lays it on the line and tells her what he really thinks, "Angel - Liquideep"

She heard, but had to confess, "Closer I Get (Club Mix) - Marie St. James"

With words like those coming from her, they moved the conversation from the kitchen to a room where they could relax. You know what they say men think about every x amount of moments? "All Night Long (Album) - Mood II Swing"

She's flattered and it feels so good to be wanted but she's got something else to say, "Stay Together (Original Vocal Mix) - Barbara Tucker"

His eyes tell her that he understands as he reaffirms why he is where he is, "Girl of My Dreams (Timmy Regisford & Adam Rios Remix) - Peven Everett"

Still, however, she wants to makes sure that they both understand, the "Same Thing (Feat. Maiya James] - Osunlade"

Always the dreamer, he likes that she listens to his aspirations, both realistic and fantastic, "Butterfly (Ron Trent's Musicandpower Remix) - Osunlade"

All she can do is, "Hope - Dee Mac"

Because every time she gets close to feeling like it's real, them hims of the past changed lyrics, "Love Song [A Feliciano Ricanstruction Remix] - Nadirah Shakoor"

And he does too, but his lyrics are about trying harder to make it better, "The Better Life (Muzikman Edition) - Georg Levin"

She & he, they go to bed.... (D stands for DREAM in this story), "Tha D - Karizma"

In the morning, he loves the way she wakes him up, "Good Morning - Karizma featuring Monique Bingham"

http://www.okayplayer.com/news/okayafrica-audio-africa-in-your-earbuds-3-qool-dj-marv.html

Copy/paste of the gab:

With Africa In Your Earbuds #3: REACH, Qool DJ Marv delivers a 75-minute deep house mix inspired by his experiences at Croatia’s SunceBeat and The Garden music festivals. He threw us names like Larry Heard, Tony Humphries, Lil Louis & The World, Theo Parrish, Karizma, DJ Spen, and Osunlade as major influences on what he calls his “Africa dipped piece of musical information.”

On the title of his mix, Marv explains:

From a multidimensional wide-angle lens perspective, REACH can mean the reach of Africa’s rhythms, global, or REACH can mean my hand reaching for yours for the solidarity soul shake. REACH is a directive to reflect and envision, then go for yours with pride. Blood, DNA, or internet wires, we are one – uthando (= affection).

New Yorkers: catch Qool DJ Marv live at Harlem’s Red Rooster every Thursday evening from 7pm-12 midnight. And big up to Underdog for the (always) dope artwork!

In the few minutes before this grand opening at that angular room of glass, wood & concrete with New York's 65th & Broadway as its surround backdrop, I thought, "How sweet it is to be loved by you..."

This room, on the Lincoln Center campus, looks and smells like my boss (& mentor) Marcus Samuelsson, but also, it sounds like me.

[see my cover photo to see the room - or go to 65th & Broadway]

Special thanks to Marc Smooth the best relay race teammate ever. The batons you pass to me are made of mahogany and gold.

[looking up, far, and wide]

Thank you

Words by BoldAsLove's Rob Fields:

Here’s something to start your weekend off right!

Shout out to Qool DJ Marv and The Mighty G-man for handling the mix. These two brothas make mighty cool mixes. Philly meets NYC in Harlem and timeless mixtapes featuring enduring music emerges. Marv’s been spinning around the globe for at least a decade, and you can hear G-Man on Saturday nights with Jay Smooth on WBAI’s Underground Railroad, one of the longest-running and most respected hip hop shows on radio. I’m proud to say that Marv and G-Man have done a killer mix of some of hottest summer sounds from the new black imagination.

I know I hadn’t said much about this. One day, I was musing on Twitter that I was thinking about a summer mixtape. G-man responded right away. And since I’ve known him and Marv for a minute, it was a no-brainer. We all met, I gave them the music that I was feeling, and they did the rest.

Here’s the track listing. Goes without saying, but if you like what you hear, support these artists.

Blind – Game Rebellion
Warrior Bones – Tamar-kali
So What Am I (Sunday Night Res) – Res
Shooting Holes – Twin Shadow
IIETYS – BLK JKS
Mojuba – Melvin Gibbs’ Elevated Entity
Godda Get It – No Surrender
Huff + Puff – Just A Band
Hypen (part 1) – Peekaboo Theory
Crazy – The 54
Box – Shelley Nicole’s blaKbushe
Burned Bridges – Living Colour
Ghost and the Witness – Earl Greyhound
Come Alive (The War of The Roses) – Janelle Monae
Lazy Daze – J*Davey
Paradise Circus – Massive Attack
Hyphen (part 2) – Peekaboo Theory

So, got a long drive ahead? A lot of errands to run this weekend? This is the perfect soundtrack, if I do say so myself, and I think you’ll agree.

http://www.boldaslove.us/ is your source for information about new Black imagination.

And special thanks to Glenn G-man Holt. Together, brothers, we've done: http://themightygman.podomatic.com/entry/2010-06-21T19_32_13-07_00 http://djqoolmarvsounds.podomatic.com/entry/2012-05-21T16_24_17-07_00

Audio clue to the whereabouts of the Low Profile adventurer.

This special evening included surprise fireworks in the sky.

Breezy sunshine faded into twilight and the next thing you know, boom & pow! Wow.

What a surprise, http://saragiusti.tumblr.com/ saw it too. She helped me out with my own http://qoolmarv.tumblr.com/. She took that photo too. I was in Boston Common the afternoon before this http://djqoolmarvsounds.podomatic.com/entry/2012-07-25T20_43_52-07_00. It has nothing to do with Soho House, you got the picture from previous sets, it has everything to do with the way I feel when I start to play. Game face can look like whatever, inside I'm beaming.

Be surprised by the songs (or pull out your gadget to look them up) go for the ride. The entire evening is a painting, the songs are my colors and the mixer is my paintbrush.

"...HBO, always a big winner, unambiguously celebrated another change this year: the ceremony’s move from September to August. The cable network acknowledged the shift from the brink of fall to the waning days of summer by transforming the Pacific Design Center’s fountain plaza into a wonderland setting for what event designer Billy Butchkavitz called “an enchanted evening by the sea.” He added, “I got to have fun with it because it was in the summertime.”

When speaking with Billy about his vision, he gave me two ideas to build my set around. The idea of a luxurious sound that one may enjoy while vacationing by the sea and the inspiration for that sound was a song Billy suggested called Night & Day.

I used Night & Day as the "leitmotif," or recurring theme/musical idea and used the three instances of the song in this mix as pivot points to go in other directions of vibes and feeling.

This set was played with 3 drummers who also did their own thing at times throughout the night. After the Jazz grooves we got into dancing music and all and it was a great night.

I even wore a suit that was 'Salmon,' or kind of pink...so did the drummers! I don't mind costumes at all as this isn't just a dj thing, it's a spectacular spectacle.

A breezy and celebratory evening under the stars entertaining the entertainers and I'm glad that I can share what that sounds like.

What Happens When Miles Davis and John Coltrane Step to the Stage at a Thelonious Monk Performance?

That's the question I posed while listening to a set of Jazz CDs sent to me by the people behind http://www.yourfriendorfoe.com/.

Originally conceived to be a stream/download on the Friend or Foe website, this 37 minute mix, designed to feel like an actual live Jazz club performance, is now available here for you to add to your collection.

10/10/10 is what I would give each one of these Jazz giants on that mythical scale. October 10th is also Thelonious Monk's birthday.

My son's name is Thelonious and that's him in the photo practicing piano (on a synthesizer - look at the photo frame on his left to see the concentration in his eyes). His lessons are on a real piano. Need I say more?

Just a little...I wrote a great story about this mix for their site but when the site changed, away it went and so did my words. I found a few on the music blog of a NYC man about town & here's a copy & paste:

“I hope this jazz mix is regarded as an offering of something that could possibly be an introduction to a different approach to musical creativity where instrument virtuosity, versatility, imagination, dexterity, improvisation and communication are the essential components.”

01 Thelonious Monk – “Straight No Chaser” (from Thelonious Monk In Italy)
02 Miles Davis – “Blues By Five” – (from Cookin’ with The Miles Davis Quintet)
03 Thelonious Monk – “Just You Just Me” (from The Unique)
04 Thelonious Monk – “Honeysuckle Rose” (from The Unique)
05 John Coltrane – “Straight Street” (from Coltrane)
06 Miles Davis – “I’ll Remember April” (from Blue Haze)
07 Thelonious Monk – “Liza (All The Clouds’ll Roll Away)” (from The Unique)

1st version is 4 hours. This clocks in at 2 hours & 30 minutes and that's about how long it took Qool__Marv to run his 1st 1/2 marathon.

Running for two hours straight, marathon or leisurely, is one way of finding out that you can do more than you thought/think you can do

Accomplish something like that, or anything that takes a lot of will, dedication, and focus, and the natural progression is to start to think 'what else, more, can I do?'

Something great, I'm sure.

A special thanks to Tillman's proprietor Lesly Bernard for providing great spaces for musicians & DJs to flourish beyond "open" formats.

This set was recorded at the too short lived Mr. Jones. Situated on 14th Street near 2nd Avenue, beautiful with a butta sound system (so butta that the bass signal on this has been gained slightly because the subs in Mr. Jones were so powerful that this set was recorded with the bass knob near zero).

Gently bassed for that nice look on your face after you hear them whispers of style and grace.

4+ hours and 90% instrumental.

Enjoy,

Under 40? I've been there. I can relate.

Especially to when you're that adult age and all those old head wise tale sayings start ringing true no matter how much you knew that they weren't speaking to you.

"I got this," is the way we're supposed to feel. We need courage to be courageous to do what we dream.

"I get this," is where you arrive when you cross the threshold into 40.

"Life Begins At Forty!" they so proudly proclaim.

The one's that smile when they say that are the ones who look at 40 as an achievement and a pivot. At 40 I looked back and saw what worked for me and what didn't work for me and I choose to proceed, keeping my best and leaving behind any way, thing or habit that can keep me from going places.

Then, it's like your path is clearer of clutter...and you can just, walk...with your eyes up and looking forward.

Here's my own little (I'm 40something and been around long enough to notice enough to have an opinion from experience) axiom:

After the 1st time at Soho House, I revisited how I wanted to play this night. I thought about getting comfortable with playing more of my repertoire, especially playing more music by instrument playing musicians.

Classic Rock, Punk Rock, Juke Jazz, International Beats, Guitar Funk, 80s indie, and 50s soundtrack open up this time. Imagination sparked for the next time, we'll hear what happens.

It's almost as if I can play like I am home. Looking around, folks in attendance looked well at home.

The Wire - The HBO Series 4th Season Premiere Party '08

December 31, 2010 01:01 PM PST

With a party that's much more sophisticated than the scenes depicted in the show, this season's party started with a nod to the grown folks in the cast. Later there were sounds for the new youthful cast members that Season 4 focused on.

One of my strategies when playing is to get everyone in the room involved by touching them musically. Some think, reasonably so, that the older generation is irrelevant in a party scene...play that new stuff and the geezers just gotta deal (or are invisible). It's hard for me not to see people that I admire. If you've been here longer than me and you have some exceptional accomplishments - I love you and you matter! At some point at everything I do, there's a 'here's to you' moment for my living legends in the house. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrD2172EkF4

Starting with some un(familiar) songs this blend moves quickly into NYC garage classics. Hip Hop came after Funk, Soul, & Disco, & Jazz so generally, in my sets, Hip Hop comes after all that's played.

Tracklisting forthcoming, press play and be there....

Recorded on May 29, 2012

My 1st set at Soho House started with a great conversation. "Imagination..., etc.," was my answer to a question about how I'd approach the night musically.

Good answer because then I was encouraged to be myself and to not be shy.

That advice along with the warm welcoming vibes of the house brass, "We're glad you're here," and a scrumptious quinoa salad was how my first set began.

A medley of a portion of the overall repertoire. I've already re-imagined the night to include these kinds of sounds but with the lens adjusted more toward wide angle.

We were on the 6th floor http://www.sohohouseny.com/sixth-floor because of rain. We were to be on the rooftop.

When that happens, oh my oh my.

"Hello Soho House, my name is Marvin, I'm not here to bother, or here for you to mind what I do. I do hope you feel what I put in the air, feel this atmosphere." said me, via musical blends.

I'll never repeat this set. You know why? Because I also mentioned that the Jazz mindset is part of my approach as well. Jazz(y) gents do it different every time. Variations in the key of good feelings.

What happens next?

around 39:40 in this mix from earlier the other day, Q-Tip rhymes:

"Now look at our lives, they so colorful
A wonderful spectrum, not one tone dull
Full of excitement and not one lull
See we had an understanding, oh yes we did
I'm bringing it back, I'm puttin' in my bid
Have a couple of kids, have a couple of cribs
We like Ruby Dee and Ossie, MARTIN AND CORETTA
Doin' it to death, no one can do it better
When we leave our physical our spirits still together"

"Qool DJ Marv blends an array of musical genres and moods, serving you a taste of the inclusive eclecticism embraced by the Red Rooster. From peaceful and dreamy in the morning to family affair funky into the twilight, musical themes to savor are love, happiness, and togetherness."

HBO is also a network for boxing. I can't recall who was fighting but I got the call that Lennox Lewis was attending and wanted to host a really short meet & greet out in Vegas.

It's a long way and a lot of pay for a DJ to do 2 hours so HBO rang and asked me if I could help out with music. I was told that Lennox was into what's known as Neo-Soul, especially Maxwell and Jill Scott, here's the mix.

The Rebirth - This Journey In

Starting in the morning, at 11:30am, chill's been approved.

Chew your food slow so that you can TASTE it.

Nice sounding overhead speakers makes this a surround sound cloud of ease into your day music.

Ever changing selections guarantee that no matter when you stop by, you'll hear another variation on these themes. Another reason why I record and share - these are one shot sets. What you hear here is what was done on October 15, 2011 from 11:30am til about 1:45pm.

You do not need to make reservations to enjoy Saturday brunch at Red Rooster, your next best reason to check out Saturday afternoon brunch at Red Rooster is the soulful soundscape created by Qool DJ Marv. While enjoying a multitude of flavor, you will notice that Marv blends an array of genres and moods, serving you a taste of the inclusive eclecticism embraced by the Red Rooster. The themes of the groove are love, happiness, and universal togetherness and that energy is in the air all afternoon long in the form of Jazz, Soul, R&B, and Lounge/Electronic music.

This is the last of the three part teaser glimpse listen in for a while. These need to marinate and seep until you are hungry for more. You are welcome to stop on by.

On this evening at the Waldorf Astoria, I transformed from Qool DJ Marv into the entertainer of the entertainers, Rainey Purple & the BlackerBerry Sweet Juice Orchestra.

Outstanding musicianship abounds. A special thank you to spectacular pianist Peter Mintun. Every time that he took the stage, the stage was set for a change in energy and feeling.

And thanks to HBO who, thankfully, confidently, feel that I'am able to envision their vision for the evening and deliver the musical atmosphere, no matter what the style or era.

Philadelphia Motivation (for brother Dew Doing the DO)
Clean
November 19, 2010 02:36 PM PST

A very good friend that I've known for 20 years ran in the November 2010 1/2 marathon in Philadelphia. A little while ago he nudged me to put together something that he could listen to while doing the do.

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=65872700353&set=a.65870510353.147490.586515353

He's a Philly resident and I'm a Philly native so when he suggested that it feature (mostly) the music of Philadelphia International Records, I thought that this was a good opportunity to go back to my roots. http://www.gamble-huffmusic.com/home2/

This was an easy yes because way back when Dewey GAVE me a few hundred records and many of those have been the core of my groove, disco, boogie sets for years. Dewey once gave me the best advice when I was a young changing-records-too-fast DJ. Those classic records were made as complete pieces with much of the musical intensity and virtuosity happening after the 1st and 2nd verses and choruses. He's see me about to mix something else in and he'd say "HOLD UP - YOU GOT TO LET THAT ROLL - THAT"S THE PART RIGHT THERE."

Disco's got funky breaks too.

This is a selector set. My U.K. aficionados understand this. Start the record and let it play, no mixes or blends. Mostly vinyls, but a few CDs and mp3 cuts on here too - you'll notice subtle changes in fidelity. That fuzz, that's record crackle btw.

Eventually I will revisit these selections and more and do my deconstruct reconstruct rearranging like Thelonious Monk style interpretations and re-present these mixed. Something like these projects:

I inhale, and those are what I puff.

Good luck Dewey and thank you. This was great to spend time on.

And you, press play and 4 hours of your life breezes by and along the way, a whole lot of uplift.

I know I know, where's this and where's that? This mix is all about motivation + a couple of between me & Dewey's (like the ROCKY!). Omissions are where you come in. Make your mix and let me know when you do. Paying attention to what's missing initially reads negative, however, flip the script and realize that if you get to work, and create something that no one has, that's well compiled, sequenced, & executed...you will make a name for yourself and might even be recognized as one of the best in the world.

Do you know how many people are in this world? Doing this?

It's no abracadabra madness - pure intellect, ingenuity, and industrious concentration has paved this path.

Some mixes take months. No one pays me to do 99% of my mixes. The time I give to research & absorption so I can translate into a smooth listening experience 4u is valuable. Think 'lucky guy' noticing my moves? Perhaps. I give my all, driven by the nature of my spirit, & the world opens to me. I found my skill, added my will, & it's giving me a thrill ride through life.

You get what you give.

On a boat as a part of a summer music festival called SunceBeat put together by the people behind Southport Weekender is a heck of a place to debut my house music sets.

During introductions, I told them that I was "the freshman around these parts, so I'm gonna go 'head and start." Anthony said, "Do you my brother."

http://www.thegardenfestival.eu/en/festival-vibe/yearbooks/2011/

Perhaps it was jetlag + beach brain + bad conversion of 12-hour clock vs 24-hour clock that was the reason for this miscalculation of timing.

I thought I was finished when I played the last tune on this:
http://djqoolmarvsounds.podomatic.com/entry/2011-07-15T05_05_47-07_00

Then, no DJ came around to get ready and no band was sound checking and finally after checking with the good folks whose labor of love is this http://www.watchthegardengrow.eu/ I realized that I was off in my timing.

So faced with 'what do I do now' because I timed what I had played to finish up with the close out tune Life Is A Song Worth Singing by Teddy Pendergrass...I kept it Philadelphia and kept on swinging...til Steive is singing.

Dream From The Middle
Clean

Recorded while researching music during my preparation to be the music maestro (DJ and music consultant) at the 2011 Abu Dhabi Media Summit.

This position didn't exist at the 1st summit in 2010 and the presenters decided to take a different approach by agreeing that my versatility and virtuoso could add something to the ambiance of an already incredibly impressively futuristic hotel and its power circuit cool white sparkling silver shining summit room.

http://admediasummit.com/index.php/venue/
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=17780158&l=7af67379cd&id=586515353

If you are anybody in that room, you are successful. Multinational from the ground up, the strong arms who did the heavy lifting, to the team doing the sound, lights, and video, to the event handlers PublicisLive working in tune with the host Abu Dhabi Media's event specialists. If you are one of the interlocking wheels of this event, people who do their jobs on a high level thought highly of you.

They are all excellent at their jobs so I needed to be excellent.

Dream from the Middle is a prelude. After amassing 100s of songs and giving them all a listen over a little more than a month, I'd listened to more than 400 new songs, one by one, all the way through and mental noting.

That is a while so when it was time for round two of listening I was ready to move ahead from the searching and into some flows and blends.

Chill mixes are something nice to create. My ideas are as vivid as if I am listening to party music. I like the space for your thoughts that slower dreamy tempos give.

For some the middle is heart, for others, middle is soul. Both are correct.

I approached this atmosphere provider assignment with free imagination and chose to intertwine sounds of the region with electronic music from all over. Where we were was the hub and where everyone who was there came from were the spokes.

Warmed up the wheels with this and put it in cruise control.

A light braided musical fantasy made to feel like watching a movie with no picture.

This is undoubtedly a dream come true so consider this a suggestion for you to keep on doing so yourself. Deal? Then dream.

Then move and take the steps, big and small, to do.

Live At Tillman's (Trus'me's Visit)
Clean
March 01, 2011 10:05 AM PST

Once inside, you'd find Tillman's as one of the coolest places in New York City.

A venue with a deliberate intention to be a home for Soul, Funk, Jazz and groove with a nice glow of gorgeous golden brown at the core of the decor and a butter sound system.

I played there consistently for a couple of years 08-09 and enjoyed it very much because there was a DJ be a DJ music policy and not a flow shattering requests driven human jukebox/ipod music policy. At Tillman's the DJ wasn't a warm body in the booth waiting to be dictated to by everybody who wants to hear their song next - no, at Tillman's the DJ played sets and the people just went with you on the ride.

My beloved Minding Micheal sets were recorded there - I'm still appreciative of management there letting me get away with an entire night of MJ.

http://djqoolmarvsounds.podomatic.com/entry/2009-06-29T11_54_13-07_00

At Tillman's you could play for the people who loved music, and not necessarily for the people who like songs. People who love music just seem to feel everything you play because they have curious ears. People who love songs seem to fixate on what they are not hearing, consequently, they are unable to resist the urge to go request something that they know.

http://www.tillmansnyc.com/

At Tillman's a DJ could get into a kind of beginning, middle, end kind of flow. Laying out a set that starts in one place, will make stops at different rhythmic places, and then eventually end up somewhere uplifting encouraging two steps, dips, grown woman wiggles, and the fellows on the look out falling back head nodding with the dapness in their presence.

Here's a nice set spun with music producer and mate Trus'Me hanging out.

From the folder marked "Never Came Out."

Until now, with much respect.

Did this with G-man for Universal on a cold winter overnight at about 3 or 4am in the morning in a no-heat in the building apartment.

We were chillin'. G let's you know the name of the songs in the flow.

Songs are from an album that didn't come out...he called himself Hev-D on this one.

For the collectors.

...with the lightness, peace Heavy...

Live @ Russell Simmons' Phat Farm Exhibit @ the Magic Convention - Classic 90's Hip Hop
Explicit

3 minutes short of 4 hours of 'remember when they used to make them like this'? Equivalent to the Jazz age or any of the artistic renaissance eras, some call this the golden era. Certainly, this was the era of lyricism and point of view.

Juxtapose the 90s Hip Hop attitude next to today's and the difference is not only in the music. Then, clever couplets, now, product placement and 1000 reminders about how much more they have than you & me. Hip Hop didn't really sell out, but it did get bought by the powers of money, and those powers now give it back to you to promote fashion, automobiles, alcohol & hipster lifestyles.

So when people reflect on golden eras, they reflect mostly on the intent. Nobody wants to wish broke-ness on anybody, however, many, attuned to this sound of Hip Hop, wish that new hip hop would get paid off of music and lyrics that include more ideas than product placements. We miss quality control and the artist that sits down, writes a rap, collaborates with a producer, and makes a song that people FIND and spread, thus that artist is rewarded for his or her unique vision.

Now, there is the intent of the capitalistic 'artist' to get paid from popular hip hop trends and not necessarily create music that transcends, touches, and has staying power. More colloquialisms and less commercials in my music please. What do you buy into? The commercials? Or the music? You bought into the art of commerce or the art of musical imagination?

Nonetheless, mine is the minority opinion/concern and the majority rules.

Wasn't it a shock, NYC/Philly/East Coast people, back in the 90s, when you realized that there were way more people in the U.S. who DID relate to the rappers that we thought were country & corny? The dirty south & west coast = (apparently) real (more marketable) black America. No offense folks from those areas, after all, you have had the last laugh and are doing so all the way to the bank.

Fading stereotypes & epithets revived and now thrive for the sake of commerce and fame. In rap we look like the way that people think that we should, thus, an easy and logical sell to those people based on the way that those people generally reference the black character. Interpolating American Football coach Dennis Green's great rant, maybe those people with the power and $ to saturate us with perpetuating perpetrators think, "They are who we thought they were."

Not necessarily. But when you need to sell it to wider audiences, you also need to simplify it by thinning the scope of topic to maximize corroborating corporation's cross promotions:

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB20001424052748704029304575526193896894212.html

I always joke that Manhattan's an island and when you look across the Hudson at New Jersey, I often think, 'Here's New York and then, over there, is the rest of the U.S.' Not so mutually exclusive.

Hearkening back to the times of hanging out with your friends and rhyming for rhyming sake. Watching Ralph McDaniel's Video Music Box, Fab Five Freddy On Yo MTV Raps, and the pre-"drug dealer rap" influx Rap City on B.E.T. A blend of head nod cyphers, fun, a tad bit street with wordplay galore. If I'm going to be a part of selling, then I'm going to respect your discerning taste and sell you using quality.

The Spawns of the Genesis thrive in this mix. Dig a little deeper and you'll realize that I reference the name of a song on Nas 1st album (I met Nas before his 1st LP at the Stretch Armstrong & Bobbito radio show way back in 1992 when I was studying for my Master's at New York's Columbia University - they mentioned my hanging out with them at their show on this http://filthyspeakeraddict.com/2010/10/the-stretch-and-bobbito-show-20th-anniversary-on-wkcr-899-fm/).

Look Beyond What Is
Clean
June 02, 2011 03:41 AM PDT
itunes pic

A mix made for high school students who participated in a writing program at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. It contains a blend of Hip Hop and R&B with a thematic message of positive thinking, togetherness, and urban political ideas. The other side of the game.

Look Beyond What Is

Love Of My Life - Erykah Badu with Angie Stone, Queen Latifah, & Bahamadia (to start with the voices of women so that the young women are immediately involved...& I grew up with 6 women under one roof so many of my days were full of the voices of women who loved me)

The Renaissance - All Natural featuring Lone Catalyst (included for the Jazz piano loop and lyrics that are personal, informative, and instructive. Also, the mention of getting by without stimulants is an idea that needs to be in the mix of it all)

Hip Hop - Calvin Harris featuring Maine (American Hip Hop listeners generally let the accent stop their interest in UK Hip Hop - if they did not do that, they would hear the kinship and shared experience of appreciation of legendary contributors to the art of Hip Hop, or simply get a kick out of a guy in a British accent name dropping the ledgends)

Steel Contraption DJ BMF featuring Swamburger (Nervous about the downward spiral of literacy and poetics coming from the south around the time this was made, I thought it cool to include an alternative flow and viewpoint on everyman's perspective...just to juxtapose next to the bass and crunk of the time...clever & connected also exist in the dirrty - although I should mention that BMF is from Orlando and Swamburger's from Chicago)

Doin Something - Soulive with Jurassic 5 and Me'Shell N'Degeochello (just another reminder that the Hip Hop idea is beyond local "ghettoes." BKNY is the target audience, here the West Coast voices are not on the same ole same ole gang related blunted superthug theme...other expressions come from the badlands - a nice mix of medley rhyming, beats, live instrumentaion and smooth soul singing)

Family - Jaguar Wright (before rhyme fatigue sets in, back to melodies, harmonies and relatable lyrics about what's most important from a fierce Philly soul singer better known for her strong voice on stronger, less pleasant, topics. Everybody's got another side..."So remember your family")

I Can (a capella) - Nas (from a Hip Hop artist mostly known for either representing the true grit or the excesses of shine, words of encouragement via history aimed toward the youth)

Oh You Want More - Ty (I love UK Hip Hop for the accent and the enunciation and the freedom that some artist there still exercise to say what they want to say and not what they think you want them to say. This is sneakily personal, as during this time, 2005-ish, I'd literally be ambushed in clubs by no-class fraudulent machismos accosting me for 'real nigga shit.' I'd drop this and then watch the chaos in their eyes as they tried not to like this thump and confidence and overt acknowledgement to their wanting more - the only tough guys in the world, to me, are those on front lines in wars or who run into burning buildings)

Witness (1 Hope) - Roots Manuva (this devastatingly unique beat elevates the energy. Most waste this outstandingly captivating production on more about themselves, but Roots is giving you the all world perspective, if you can't follow the flow, than understand the English: http://www.metrolyrics.com/witness-1-hope-lyrics-roots-manuva.html)

New Man Theme - Mr Lif (from the Q-Tip, Guru-esque school of thought - vocabulary, flow, personal perspective on confidence of self via intellect...alternative viewpoints like this get submerged in the tsunami of the irreverent)

Let It Shine - Baba (this gent was part of the Brooklyn Reads Program and it was only appropriate to include his thoughts and groove on the mix that would be given to 100 of his students. From down under, this gent gave his time to Brooklyn teens and teens globally, shine for his shine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRV9BO-EyRA)

Louder than a Bomb (Jam Master Jay Mix) - Public Enemy (my only bit of self-indulgence as I had to play something by PE because their music was on auto-reverse on my walkman all the time when I was younger. Radio has no responsibility to offer old school voices or ideas to an audience that prefers new and now - it is a simple business decision. There are other ways to make sure that these artists are heard, like this mix)

Money - Will I Am - (Unbeknownst to masses, Will I Am was more on the groove side of the vibe before Fergie and club beats redirected the Black Eyed Peas. Anyone into the 90s sound of jazz and soul samples/instrumentaion would enjoy his album on the UK based BBE records http://www.bbemusic.com/data.pl?release=BBEBGCD003 Look beyond what you see now and you find that he has other ways to say what he has to say...then)

A Charmed Life - J-Live (incredibly nimble lyracist over a beat that every (c)rapper would ask out of. Respects first to him rhyming over jazz then to his story of a 'regular guy' (like me) with irregular talents commencing in the way he came up and was brought up. He lets us in instead of just telling us what he has and what you do not. This was released as a single and was on Jazzy Jeff's BBE album, The Magnificent and I'm from Philly and directly influenced by Jazzy so this is a subtle nod to all kinds of personal pleasures and all that Jazz)

Excursion - A Tribe Called Quest (testimonial and instructive = constructive. No way you don't want to build after hearing these words http://www.lyricsfreak.com/a/a+tribe+called+quest/excursions_20001783.html seminal)

Groovement - Ty (after those doses of heavy information, a song that hearkens sounds that remind me of songs like Chaka Khan's Ain't Nobody, Stevie Wonder's Boogie On Reggae Woman, and Common's GO - the thing is about this is that the dope musical production is worked wondrously with dexterity and rhythm by Ty. More perspective that takes into account what so many do not. "Seek us" is my subliminal for them to find more like this for balance against the tidal wave of N's for hire - Ty instructs with fiya "Handle your business!")

Umi Says - Mos Def (I'm a reluctant of any rapper that just plays a gangsta character because they discovered that there was money to be made from the vast majority of Americans and people worldwide who prefer redundant egocentric raunchy N's and product placement. I feel like they get enough support from wanna be liked DJs and the commerce machine that presents them. Since I know that it is an act, and that they can't sing, and that they can't play an instrument, I put them in the category of capitalists, not artists. They are going to get theirs while caring only about themselves. Mos Def's lyric "I want my people to be free" most definitely assures you that he cares about more than himself)

Life Is Like a Park - Lisa (Left Eye) Lopes - (Most know her for her TLC days and her personal wild rides. This song, never released in the states, was included for that very reason. Only with this question: why not?)

Love & War - Amp Fiddler (Kwasi Asante introduces this and gives the benediction. This is included to let the youth know that the DJ that was part of their program has been to other places in the world because of his developing of his gift. There's affection in the applause of the Londoners and I hoped they heard that and then realized that this live set ended with something from ME and my mind, regardless of what they wanted to here. The war in Iraq started that weekend and I felt it important to let the people there at this gig in London that I, for one, stood for something)

I am so idealistic.

I hope that some of the Brooklyn high schoolers got through this entire mix.

I hope.

One of my career shaping/enhancing venues because this place had an open format. The DJs who played there played different (meaning not the same ole same ole - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy39w7YDQsk)

This is one of many recordings from APT - I would to record my 5 hour entire set and any hour could be used as a LIVE mix CD. I got into putting out live mixes as a 'separate the men from the boys' self promo tactic because anybody can make a good mix at home, using a computer, rehearsing, re-starting, editing until just right...but then what happens when they play live? Exposed.

To be honest, I'd record primarily to play back while walking the streets of NYC or riding the subways and I'd listen for where I could improve. Hold a mix a little longer - don't chop off lyrics - bring in that next beat a little stronger...and when I'd playback and was pleased, I decided to start the LIVE! mix series.

Play back one of your nights, would you dance/groove to you?

Suite 903 mixed by Qool DJ Marv | The Director's Cut Alternative Ending

Original vision wasn't the final version.

Director's Cut Alternative Ending

All the same through track 21.

14. Ms. Dynamite - It Takes More (Includes her rap unedited - this was on the cutting room floor for the public version)

21. Raphael Saadiq - Skyy, Can You Feel Me
22. Lisa Left-Eye Lopes - Life Is Like A Park (Released overseas so getting the clearance wasn't possible)
23. The Avalanches - Since I Left You (Prince Paul Remix)
24. Slum Village - What Is This
25. Mr. Scruff - Come On Grandad
26. Tweet - Make Your Move
27. Focus - Having Your Fun
28. BMF featuring Swamburger - Steel Contraption
29. Glenn Lewis & Amel Larrieux -What's Come over Me
30. Eric Roberson - Hold On (He sold this song to Dwele within days of my submitting this mix and I had to remove Eric's version and replace it with When Love Calls)

This is the raw mix with my regular recording EQ. This CD that few got was compressed in a way that there was some distortion sporadically...pretty for your ears here. No "Qool Marvs or Suite 903s" drops.

I like this ending better because it's cold and at the end of the song. The released version fades the last song.

If you are into it, a collector's item. Enjoy!

The Creative Factory (A Moscow Based Advertising Agency) Special Edition Mix CD
July 22, 2008 09:15 AM PDT
itunes pic

In 2007, CEO of this Moscow, Russia based ad agency reached out to me and invited me to come play at their Sixth Anniversary Celebration. This was definitely my first international "corporate" party, although there was not the slightest hint of a corporate vibe. This was a fun party where the staff and leadership of The Creative Factory all had a ball.

How'd I get that gig? I'd been to Moscow before, in fact doing the Creative Factory Party marked my 3rd trip to Moscow, but it was on my 1st trip that the boss at TCF heard me spinning my variations at a venue called Crisis of Genre - a gig hooked up by Moscow's low profile but influential man about town Alex N. Two years later, the impression made on Mr. TCF was still vibrant and he extended the invitation to play the party and asked if I'd do a CD that would be one of the keepsakes that marked 6 years of doing business in Moscow - which apparently, is not easy.

Of course I was up for the trip back to Moscow and for compiling and mixing a CD. Here's the CD, clearly, you would've had to have been there to receive one.

Argyle Culture - A promotional mix made especially for Russell Simmons distributed at the 2007 Magic Convention in Las Vegas
Clean
July 22, 2008 03:07 PM PDT
itunes pic

Thousands of these CDs were distributed for free during the '07 Magic Convention, a convention where any and every clothing line showcases their new fashions and apparel. This is a sight to see, especially on the 'urban' side of things. I was there to DJ a few Phat Farm events and this mix was a bonus, for me and for Mr. Simmons & co.

I was excited to get the call to compile and produce a promotional mix CD that musically announced the "Arrival" of Argyle Culture, an evolution of his Hip Hop inspired clothing line Phat Farm into more of a gentleman's style - a gentleman that grew up urban but is now holding maybe a couple higher education degrees and a nice gig, and the sagging jean & 10x too big t-shirt or athletic jersey look has been outgrown.

Let your opinions be what they may about Mr. Simmons, I appreciate the man, especially his approving of this mix. After swimming against the current for so long, musically, to get asked to do this kind of mix for a contemporary 'urban' fashion line is unusual, gratifying, and in away, my own Arrival into the consciousness of the ghetto fabulous.


I had complete creative freedom in terms of selecting and sequencing the songs on the Arrival. Press play and listen to what turned out to be a classic and garnered the 1st direct "Thank you" from Russell after doing a few of his events over the course of this decade.

That felt good.

Arthur Ashe Celebration @ Phat Farm/Baby Phat Soho Store in Soho NYC

100% vinyl set with a literal theme - grace and elegance.

Not much more to be said about the late Arthur Ashe. I can't recall if I got to shake his hand when he came to Columbia's Graduate School of Journalism in 1993 to lecture but I was there soaking in the wisdom.

This party was actually for the launch of footwear produced by Run from Run-DMC. Mr. Ashe's wife Jean was in attendance and this set pretty much was for her.

A nice listen for burgeoning DJs who care to hear how records made by musicians are mixed. Mixing drum machine records is less difficult.

Thanks to the Simmons family and my bud L'Mani because this set was spun on his turntables that evening.

My Mom enjoys working out to house music. She listens mostly to Gospel. Now she can enjoy Gospel music while working out. I gave her 3 discs full of songs so she could choose the songs that motivated her to get up and go!

Next to each title you'll see "Mom's" or "Marv's" and you'll see that my Mom's got good taste and great energy. She chose nine of the songs on this uplifting blend.

A Little More Love (Sean's Little More Dub Mix) - Sean McCabe & Adeola Ranson / Mom's

Peace and Understanding (Original) - DJ Garphie Feat. George Sida / Mom's

Turn My Life Around - DJ Spen / Mom's

He Is (Ferrer & Sydenham Inc Vox Mix) - Copyright featuring Song Williamson / Mom's

Wondrous (MuthaFunkaz Remix) - Danny Clark & Jay Benham featuring SuSu Bobien / Marv's

Most Precious Love (DF Future 3000 Mix) - Blaze Present Uda Feat Barbara Tucker / Mom's

Sunday Shoutin' (T.M.'s Rub & Tug Mix) - Johnny Corporate / Marv's

Love Is You (Quentin Harris Lovely Dub) - DJ Meme Orchestra ft Tracey K / Marv's

Baroque EP (Baroque) - Chateau Flight / Mom's

God Is Good - Roland Clark / Mom's

Thank You (Reelsoul Vocal Mix) - The Layabouts & Pete Simpson / Mom's

Let Me Show You (Karizma's Jazz Break Mix) - Kenny Bobien / Marv's

Walking (Sean4sound extended remix) - Mary Mary / Mom's

Minding Michael Part One : A Good Time

The unique circumstances that led to this 1st record to last celebration of MJ are the reasons why I will never be able to replicate this set. Jazz minded, I improvise every set and my own feelings and experiences do influence much of the vibe that I present. I learned about MJ while in Motown’s state just before performing at my 1st US based summer festival in Ann Arbor. I’m a laid back performer and I never get on the mic, but I stepped up and out and spoke up for MJ.

Blessed with 48 hours before I’d get my chance to go public with my mix of MJ (actually, not even because I spent all Friday evening at my son’s uncle’s “bye high school/off to Princeton party), I had my mind on Michael. Roughly 75% of these songs, I’ve never played in public. This is my translation of Michael as a fan and DJ, as a boy who grew up with stronger together black family vibes and Black is Beautiful all up in my head, and as a man who still embraces that exuberant idealism by perpetuating it and sustaining it through the magic of the music in the mix. This is one of those ‘can’t remember what I did last night’ sets, although, my first and only glass of red wine didn’t happen until after 3:30am. Dressed in a white shirt, black necktie, black dress slacks, black shoes, & white socks – I was dress to thrill and did so with rhythmic reverence.

Reverence describes the approach to laying out all of these songs over the course of a late night at Tillman’s. I wanted to be neat in the mix keeping in mind that I wanted most of these songs to play in their entirety. I’m not racing through these songs because I have five hours to work with in a lounge with a plush sound system. The atmosphere and design of Tillman’s wraps around you like a mahogany gold soul blanket. There are many instances where I nab the very last beat or vocal to bridge the song playing with the next up. Suspending my love for the pleasure center pleasing tease of the sonic subtleties of long blends to showcase Michael’s songs, and not so much of my style or technique, I guess that this would be the long form/long attention span tribute approach: blended for relaxed listening and appreciation.

This mix is in (J) 5 parts. I gave them titles:

Oh yes, I reached for the 12” of Another Part of Me and found the sleeve to be awfully flimsy. ‘It’s still on the decks at home.’ It killed me not to have that in the mix. I know that many DJs will cover all your MJ bases with their sets and recordings (WBAI’s Underground Railroad’s show recording for example http://themightygman.podomatic.com/ or Philadelphia's Lil Dave's collection of variations http://eavesdropradio.podomatic.com/) but “Another Part of Me” was the one that got away.

'94 was when Buttamilk was getting started and when we did parties and it was time for Hip Hop, the natives got a lot of love.

This mix takes me back to when I started to make my gains with this DJ thing. It is actually four 90 minute tapes condensed to what essentially is a 60 minute highlight. A trailer if you will.

Mixed old fashion style, all vinyls baby! Listen to the crackle...which reminds me to mention that this mix is transferred from cassette so please keep that in mind in terms of the audio fidelity.

Cool?

The photo - me and the original Buttamilk founders, myself, Kenny Wells, and Genie Q Roberson. Like Jill Scott writes in the liner notes of her first album - "Buttamilk, it all started with you"

Not no Parkay, not no margerine, strictly butta, strictly butta baby.

Qool DJ Marv with guest featured DJ Big Rich a/k/a Rich Medina.

Gene Roberson on the mic.

Shout out to Rutgers, Cheney, Lincoln, Temple & Morehouse in the house.

I have had many mixes on ice because they had flaws. Static from the wires, distortion, 1 and 1/2 bad mixes...anything that disturbed me, I knew it would disturb the listener and erode their trust in my skill to be smooth and quality with the 'it.'

Early in my career I thought it important to put out dozens of flawless, or really close to flawless sets before I let people hear something less than on point. I needed to build capital with my listeners by coming through again and again so that I could eventually share these great recordings that have some technical difficulties. There's a short in the wire to the tape deck that relaxes around minute 20. It may net even bother you, but I felt like I had to put out 100 mixes before I put out one that had whoops on it.

Groove beyong 20 minutes and you'll hear a rare recording of a party featuring Big Rich who is now known as Rich Medina and Qool__Marv.

From 1996.

On Philly when we say 'young boys,' we pronounce it more like, "Young boas."

So many thanks to Soraya and Gyasi, Lori and E-man and everone in the LOVELY family.

The mono recording means this will sound better from speakers rather than headphones, although, you may still groove on the vibe regardless.

Consciously Unconcious Recorded Summer 1999

Consciously Unconscious is a straight to cassette, non-mixed, mixtape made during the Summer of '99.

Generally bright, warm, and optimistic, Qool DJ Marv's mood here is dim, abrasive, unforgiving, and subversively sarcastic about the end/beginning of a certain spirit and intent in Hip Hop.

Until now, only two people heard this mix that's prophetic of the new era's pathetic.

Golden era could also be the evolution/elevation era. Thought that the music, styles, & language would evolve with the new century. It stagnated. Zero respect for any new rapper using the word Nigger/Nigga...tells me that you are unoriginal. Period.

They will play your played out 'language,' not me.

Find new words.
Find new ways.

lift off, smoking caterpillar

colored lights can hypnotize

all we do, think love and wear a smile, looking up

the girl who once had me there, we do it in style
turn your eyes around, when i'm with you i want to stay there

give it to me easy, love's just a kiss away

baby the skies'll be blue, i'll take you anywhere you wanna go

coffee flavored kisses & a bit of conversation, all i have to do is think of her

you hold the key to love and fear, let love rule

Re-Experience The Experience from The Bold and The Brave.

More than a tribute to Jimi, the Bold & The Brave aka the Mighty G-Man & Qool DJ Marv have produced either a reimagined recollection or a primer for those who have had Jimi on their list of artists to get into. All of the selections play at their original tempos, the Bold & the Brave have twisted them up to create some spaced out altered versions. Working with the parts and imagining Jimi's sonic sensibilities, we present a version of our dream concert.

An ambitious theme night from an innovative promoter who came up with the idea to do a party featuring the music of Sting in the heart of black Brooklyn. This is only 1 hour or so of the evening.

Sting's music is intertwined with Prince, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley, Grace Jones and more. Sunshine dubby reggae vibes going nicely with the 80s synth vibes give you a play on a nice day mix from yours truly.

Live @ HBO's Emmy Award Afterparty - Hollywood, CA - Sept 21, 2008
Clean
October 01, 2008 09:25 AM PDT

Going back to '04, the great people at HBO thought that I could be a nice addition to their post-Emmy Award telecast celebration. Although I had no idea how my style and set would go down in an atmosphere that I've never been a part of, I did what came naturally and mixed good music that anyone would enjoy. I'd been cautioned not to worry if I couldn't get the well heeled entertainers and executives to hoof it on the dance floor because, for the most part, there's a lot of congratulatory conversation happening. They did get on the floor and before the party ended actors, actresses, CEOs, movie deal makers, models were applauding and whistling for more despite the presence of the L.A. Fire Department who were there at the end to make sure that things wound down when they were scheduled to.

Since that 1st time out in 2004, the parties have become thematic. I enjoy the opportunity to come up with what can be considered as the 1st half of the party where the music reflects the inspired design. Since '04, the Bollywood vibes of India, 60's St. Tropez, and traditional Thailand have been themes, this year South America, highlighting Brazil and Argentina was the flavor.

That's where having an open mind and an eclectic anything's possible ear comes in handy. Less than 10 days before this party, I was sent about 15 CDs that were purchased by the party's designer during his tours of South America, and asked to build my opening set based on the music of the likes of Maria Bethania & Jorge Ben. With 200 songs to absorb and my own records to consider, I began the process of cramming - you know like studying for that exam that you must pass - filling my head with suitable songs, working out when they should be played and what they could be mixed with.

The dynamic that I must consider is that the party begins primarily with arrivals and a lot of mingling ensues...then it begins to reach capacity thus there's a need to shift the energy upwards into a groove that is infectious inviting but not yet overpowers...then there's the bit where they've heard the theme for more than an hour, and the task is keeping folks grooving and interested until my counterpart Ravi, the man with 2 dozen drums, steps onto the stage with me to set it off into dance floor madness.

So here you are. Another close your eyes and imagine you were there set for you. A set that I've never done really but I hope that it's competent and that you enjoy it.

One last detail I thought you might like and this detail somewhat explains the photo - I made up this whole set on the fly...meaning, I only knew what my 1st song was going to be which is "So Many Stars" by Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66, they rest was improvised based on the best selections out of the pool of 15 discs that I'd been sent and the best of the vinyls that I took to round out my musical possibilities. No paint by numbers, no track one then track two as it's laid out in my computer playlist...just plain & pure intuition and mixing skills my friend, on the spot with the lights bright and hot.

In that photo - I was calming myself to the view of downtown L.A. (Hollywood's hills are to the left) because my mind was going wild with possibilities, scenarios, and blends. It's a big party and I needed to put by best foot forward but I get butterflies and mini-panic attacks because I felt like I left a crucial record at home or I have some vision of a record skipping.

Breathe & let it breathe while taking in the breathtaking - and all will be just fine. Enjoy and share, please.

Jazzy Vibes of Latin America - A Qool DJ Marv Live Set of Latin Jazz, Salsa, Cuban & more
Clean
November 10, 2010 11:35 PM PST
itunes pic

Latin Jazz and Salsa music recorded in September 2010 in a Manhattan loft space for a company's end of summer soiree...I mean, fiesta!

Mostly unmixed because many of these songs end cold (meaning that they don't fade out). If you play good songs, and they end cold, let them be. When they finish, you'll find that you can continue on with a similar vibe, or you can change tempo, or you can change music altogether...letting a song end is actually one of the more thoughtful and satisfactory segues.

Clocking in at 3 hours, you can feel tropical, practice your salsa dance, or just plain enjoy the virtuosity of these musicians. I love the bright horns and the endless percussion that fills every crevice in the sound. And Latin music also, in my humble opinion, has the most warm bass sound in recorded music.

Cuban, Colombian, Puerto Rican, Brazilian, Dominican sounds and more. (Feel free to comment if I miss any culture)

Literal DJing on themes of intrigue, mystery and paranoia while adding nuance and musical ambiance at the premiere party for the new HBO comedy series Bored To Death on a roof top loft in Manhattan.

http://www.hbo.com/boredtodeath/index.html

I got a sneak peek so that I could prepare my sneak attacks. Watch the show and listen close and you’ll hear how this set came together. Clues and cues are not just in the soundtrack, but are also found in the dialogue.

I had a minute with Jonathan Ames and Fiona Apple where I offered congratulations on their accomplishments. Told Fiona that Sleep To Dream is my favorite of hers and gave them both a CD put together by me and good friend G-Man called The Bold & The Brave. http://djqoolmarvsounds.podomatic.com/entry/2010-06-21T21_44_42-07_00 Imagine them giving it listen. Cool?

Dusty Springfield – The Look Of Love
Carly Simon – Nobody Does It Better
Grizzly Bear – Eavesdropping
Easy Star’s Lonely Hearts Dub Band – Luck In The Sky With Diamonds
Henry Mancini – Pink Panther Theme (Ludovic Navarre aka St. Germain Mix)
Crowhead – ECM
Jill Scott – Watching Me
Barry Adamson – Black Amour
Tosca – Rosa
The Herbaliser – The Sensual Woman (Instrumental)
Beck – Missing
Daniele Luppi – Fetish Quartet

Crowhead featuring Kwasi – Headshot
The Dynamics – Miss You
The Rolling Stones – Fingerprint File
The Wild Magnolias – Smoke My Peace Pipe (Smoke It Right)

Admittedly preoccupied, my mind wanders but organization and muscle memory kicked in…another words, this set was unconscious.

Flight of The Conchords 2nd Season Premiere Party - L.E.S. N.Y.C. - Jan 26 2009 - Qool DJ Marv LIVE!

If you were at this party and you had heard me play before, I imagine that you would've looked up at the booth and you would've had a moment of bewilderment because you'd never heard me play music like this. You haven't, I've never really done an extended set combining rock - modern and classic, new wave, electro, drum and bass, odd, and some 80’s. A debut for you.

If you've been along for the ride, then you know that I'm all about the tapestry of the vibe and feeling of an evening, regardless of the genres of music that are the focus.

If you are a fan of the Conchords then you know that they have fun with music so the vibe of this set is playful with a nice bounce and steady groove featuring mostly male vocalists, guitar and synthesizers mixed for a casual crowd at the Flight of the Conchords premier party at the Angel Orensanz Foundation on January 26 2009.

I got word from the gents that they'd like to have some Psychedelic Furs, some Cars, David Bowie, Blondie, Talking Heads, Non Non Plus, & the Cure, and some blue eyed soul like Hall & Oates. I obliged and I invite you to go along for the ride and listen for their preferences and how I drop them in the mix. And every one was a winner when it hit. When you get to the Common song and you hear him flow, "No pop no pop no pop, no pop." those lyrics were an acknowledgment that I understood when they also asked me to steer away from the current mainstream.

All good, I'm a fan of music and I love every opportunity to bring it all together. And get turned on to the best of music that I'm not fluent in. A win win situation and I hope you dig the set from one of those people didn't leave until the music stopped kind of parties.

Lots more on the fellows right here: http://www.hbo.com/conchords/

After the 1st song, Mykelti Williamson came over to me and asked, with fervor, "who was that?" I told him that it was Rocco DeLuca & The Burden, an artist on Kiefer Sutherland's label. His night already seemed made. We shook hands and I knew a good night was in store.

The starting point of set that cruises along through many genres and styles.

The show is rugged the cast party's smooth.

I was asked to do a set for J-Wave Radio in Japan and I preferred to send them something that had been done live (I wanted it to be a real moment with people involved. Part two of the previous mix (+ the additional embellishment of an intro and adding the song Friends & Buddies – which is my theme song) is what played in Tokyo and beyond. It's been my myspace intro forever but the sound quality there is like AM radio because I had to squish the 23 minute set into a 7 MB or less file.

Sunshine On Your Face On a Sunday Afternoon- Live from the Cove Atlantis in the Bahamas
July 21, 2008 08:16 PM PDT
itunes pic

Playing at the Cove was great experience.


I’m a unique guy when it comes to creating an embracing musical experience. More so than playing songs, I challenge myself to spontaneously create a musical weave of heartfelt, sensual, sometimes classically familiar, sun-shiny, romantic, playful, downright funky, tropical, Caribbean, groover rock and roll, and out of nowhere electric vibes to create a sensation, that through that lush breezy sound system, intertwines with all of the other luscious stimulus and reverberates through the vacationing reveler’s bodies and states of ‘Yes! I am somewhere else’ minds.


And doing it different every time to showcase how much good music crosses so many genres, and in doing so, I am earning my keep with a sense of contributive purpose. I read books on music theory and emotion and the effects on the brain as well as inundating my mind with biographies of music’s greatest, or histories of this or that sound (I’ll be teaching this in a few years), and then hit the record shops, my shelves and music library looking for those song ingredients to add that may aid in my quest to perfect the recipe. It was always so much more than packing the CD book with the surefire hits, I’d prepare for hours for several days prior to my trips because I owed that kind of approach and effort to those hard earners who have invested some much into a satisfying good time get away.


It was such a pleasure to have the opportunity to attempt to maestro that ‘let it all go’ vibe at such a lovely oasis. There were many moments of bliss for me with the sounds, views, the breeze, and the perpetual look of “it’s so good to be here” on the faces of the guests, all flowing together giving everyone there, staff too sometimes, that feeling of ‘there’s no place I’d rather be than here.’

This great label that opened a lot of doors for me over in the UK allowed me to have my way with a box of 12"s and a few LPs and here's what happened.

I translate the diversity in sounds & styles with segues.

Grand Central Records closed up shop and there are about 10 of these available on Earth (according to the internet): http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0001LYEZU/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&qid=1271621805&sr=8-3&condition=new - there are some on there for dirt cheap too. If you want the CD quality, there you are.

A lot of thought and work went into this. If you know me for classics or smooth hip hop & R&B sets, get this and file under, "Innnnntresting?!?!"

This mix sounds the way that my old room looked. I'm much more neat these days.

Recorded in 2004, this set is like an intersection of all my musical worlds at the time. Part worldwide underground and party NYC club style.

Live in Paris, France 11/03/06 @ les 9 billards, 179 rue St Maur Paris 10ème - - Qool DJ Marv LIVE!

Thanks to Stephen Laviers I ventured into an L.E.S.-esque neighborhood in Paris to join him on the turntables at an old pool hall converted into a nice party space.

The French get down, mon dieu! Tout le monde dans la chambre a dansé, I mean, everybody in the room danced at some point. It was like being in that cool downtown NYC lounge that always had a cabaret license - in New York, a venue needs a cabaret license in order to be a place where dancing is legal. Depending on where you are out in New York City, if you get up to shake your groove thing, you might be politely nudged and instructed to ease back on down into bounce in your seat mode.

Or the venue could get a citation, fines, and threatened with a complete shut down - and they're not opening up again until they go through a maze of appeals to city government agencies and neighborhood counsels. And when they're back, they've got to be paranoid about how loud the DJ plays that they've hired to entertain and seduce the crowds to stay a little while. With that pressure, no one's relaxed with what's at stake and how do you think that affects the audience that's there for an escape?

When you've got mandated volume timidity, it's tough to keep a vibe in a room where the sub woofers have been disconnected and the sound system consists mostly of well worn or burnt out satellite speakers positioned ceiling high on the walls. You've been in a room like that, nice music, but it's just not grabbing you like it should.


Venues, it's all about the warm embrace of the bass - DJs don't have to tweak the EQ to push the mids and highs which leads to that everybody in the room is screaming to talk sound. Even if your guests want to feel it, that's going to send them home earlier than they intended. Soundproof and school your DJs on the nuances of your sound installation and your venue can sound invitingly and magnificently plush.

So yes the venue in Paris, Les 9 Billards, judging by the celebratory feeling of this dancing feet crowd has never been subdued by cabaret laws. Some people were dancing like they were on one of those TV competitions, at least two women got flung and spun right into the turntables. Instead of reacting like Martin Lawrence's DJ character in the movie "House Party," I took it all in stride because I knew that the groove had them whirling and I like that.

You can see photos from the party and why I went ahead and put this mix out there for you despite the couple of times that the needles skips because of the boogieing booties on my beats.

Photos here: http://www.funk4food.org/parties.htm

Scroll down, mine was jam #11

And Stephen does music too. He makes those organically funky, organically meaning musicians are involved - dance floor catalytic music that's rooted in the roots of Africa.

You should never be surprised of the faces in funk. It's a worldwide groove y'all. Check samples of his release on his page or right here:

The band's called The Motivators and the songs are Jobu & Le Groove De Prune

Live @ the Sopranos Last Cast & Crew Party Ever - March 12, 2006 @ Roseland, NYC + Love's Just A Kiss Away (Qool DJ Marv's Extension of The Rolling Stone's Gimmie Shelter)
July 10, 2008 05:24 PM PDT

What a weekend. The night before this party I was in Paris at the Funk4Food party. Kudos to the courage of HBO to book me for this significant party despite knowing that I'd have to return from Paris on the day of the event!

Needless to say, there was no sleeping for me after hanging out with Parisians until the break of dawn...I could sleep on the plane, but while doing so, I had classic rock seeping through my ear hole as I tried to shift my musical focus from the disco funk vibes spun in Paris to the sounds that would be on the menu for this epic Sopranos cast & crew gathering.

Classic rock? Not every party needs the seemingly default musical vibe of various strains of house music and mash-ups. With the overwhelming number of mature adults in the house, and on a monster sounds system built for a rock band at Roseland - and with Bruce Springsteen's Little Steven sitting right in front of me, I was going to create a Rock & Roll and Soul vibe for the party people to enjoy, not endure.

What you hear here is the 1st couple of hours, setting the stage. The cast & crew are arriving and saying their hellos, embracing, and checking out the elaborate recreation of an Italian Street Fair. There will be speeches and Uncle Junior is going to perform in a little while, setting me up nicely to play a set that will speak to everyone in the room without pushing the dance floor vibe too soon.

Rolling Stones, Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Santana, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Eric Burdon & War, Stevie Wonder, Buddy Miles, Van Morrison, Curtis Mayfield, & Buddy Guy are in the mix. Everyone in the house felt right at home - you know the people of this caliber are rocking this good stuff at home and in their limos so to hear this music on this massive sound system in a state of revelry...well, when does that happen?

Before the night ended, an elegant lady came up to the booth and told me how she liked the progression of the sounds and how the flow of the music made the party feel just right. She asked me if I made CDs and I told her that I was recording the night. She was delighted and told me that her husband was impressed as well. He came up to shake my hand and echo her statements. This was David Chase, the creator of the Sopranos and his wife. I still suspect that when the final season hit the airwaves, the promo that featured a blend of Paint It Black by the Rolling Stones and Eric Burdon's version with the band War, may have been inspired by Mr. Chase hearing the Eric Burdon version at the party. Maybe, maybe not? It's all good.

Speaking of the Stones, one song that I love to play at these HBO parties is the Rolling Stones' "Gimmie Shelter." I love this song and I've always been tempted to rock it twice, although that would be kind of a strange move for a DJ, so at the end of this mix you will find an extended edit that I did that stretches this classic from it's official 4&1/2 minutes to 7&1/2 minutes...had to extended the intro and break so that folks could jam...or rock out. No additives, not a mash up with electronic drums and sound effects added, just "Gimmie Shelter" elongated.

Check out coverage of the event here, I don't make this stuff up: http://www.bizbash.com/content/editorial/e5931.php

Mr. Brown: "I don't want nobody to give me nothing. Open up the door. I'll get it myself."

Lyrics from the song that's the title of this mix.

Recorded in 1969 - the year when, I, Marvin James was born.

After you check out what is just a little bit of his lyrical offerings over the years – please feel free to download a medley of James Brown songs that I mixed live in 2004 in Brooklyn at a celebration of his music and influence. Special thanks to Brooklyn stalwart Dante for arranging this great night that highlighted the sounds of James Brown.

I’m so glad that he offers so much. I stand and walk tall and with pride because of his words, wisdom and experiences. James knew that folks were listening and paying attention and not only excited you to move and groove, he also encouraged perseverance, determination, courage, nobility & togetherness. I heard that. And still do.

Play it loud!

“I don’t want nobody to give me nothing. Open up the door. I’ll get it myself.

Don’t give me integration, give me true communication.

Don’t give me sorrow, I want equal opportunity to live tomorrow.

Give me schools and give me better books,

So I can read about myself and gain my truer looks.

I don’t want nobody to give me nothing. Open up the door. I’ll get it myself.

We got talents we can use on our side of town. Let’s get our heads together

And build it up from the ground.”

Peace and Quiet - Intersecting Introspective Performances of Classical and Jazz Piano Virtuosos - A Beats, Jazz, and Soul Special Relax and Unwind Edition

Among the reasons for compiling these songs are my Mom’s love of the sound of the piano, a serene atmosphere for my resting boy, and the soundtrack for my contemplation during the wee hours of the morning.

When you DJ, your musical imagination is full of clever segues. When you love music, you’re never without songs. When you play music for people’s enjoyment, your mind is on how you’ll bring together everybody’s jams, create a vibe and move the crowd. Within crafty DJs, daydreaming in stereo is a constant.

With all of that going on in your mind all of the time, and, let’s face it, music’s allure just won’t allow you to turn it off, you need Peace & Quiet.

When listening to solo piano music, at last, I’m not thinking about the next mix. My mind relaxes into a mode of appreciation. Piano is an essential musical instrument, a root in the world of sound. Whether at home, the church, or singing America the Beautiful in public school, we’ve all accompanied the piano.

The piano has always stuck with me. Over two years, I listened to approximately 1,800 solo piano performances amid the realms of Classical and Jazz music. I’ve loved Jazz since I was a teen, I used to listen to it while hauling lumber or doing landscaping because I never knew when the songs would end and that helped to pass the time quickly. Ten 6-minute long Jazz songs, that’s an hour. I had a tape, the soundtrack to a film called ‘Round Midnight, starring Dexter Gordon, which was with me on the bus, the El (Philadelphia's subway), alone in my room at home, Pop’s car, everywhere all the time and on auto reverse. This 1986 film won the Academy Award for Best Music and Original Score.

Herbie Hancock on piano, Dexter Gordon on tenor sax, Ron Carter on bass and Tony Williams on drums, John McLaughlin on guitar, Bobby Hutcherson on vibes, Wayne Shorter on saxes, Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Cedar Walton on piano, Billy Higgins on drums, Pierre Michelot on bass, and Bobby McFerrin on vocals. Curious about what represents a standard in Jazz as a beautifully human genre featuring master musicians? Commence your exploration with ‘Round Midnight.

On that soundtrack, Herbie Hancock and Bobby Hutcherson’s "Minuit Aux Champs-Elysées" was the song that drew my focus toward the musician’s playing. Since only piano and vibes, it was easier to hear Herbie and Bobby’s playing, and I could hear, because I knew that they were improvising, what seemed to me as their brains in motion. Thinking in the present and future while playing at same time is very attractive to my ears. Your ideas begin in your mind, in your imagination, and they are uniquely yours – you unbridled.

This combination of Jazz and Classical pianists juxtaposes easy going compositions played to form and played freely. Each pianist is legendary and the performances of standards and their own compositions are exquisite. Play quietly and enjoy the excursions into their minds and yours.

I was 5 or 6 years old and it was 5 or 6 in the morning and I dreamed that the headless horseman threw his head into my room as he galloped by my bedroom window. His head landed on my bed by my feet and it was mouthing something but had no tongue.

One of those happening where I am dreams so reality and dream state blended. Bad dream ended when I reached for the radio and turned on the a.m. stations...looking for gospel because I knew then that they were singing about God and I knew, from what I had been taught and exposed to, God energy would sooth my fear of monsters, demons, devils and other apparitions of darkness.

I found gospel voices and one of the best sounds in life, the church organ, and, instantaneously and miraculously, I felt safe again.

This is my story of the first time I felt music in a way that changed my spiritual and psychological situation for the better. At 7 years old, I began collecting records searching primarily for music that made me feel...better...from the inside out.

I am nearly 7x7 now and for the 1st time ever I will have time on a radio station in Philly called WURD. Smiling about the full circle thought that maybe I can spark some kid's imagination with insights embedded in the music of people who give to life.

Music has given me lots of insight in this life my momma gave me. The show is called "I Can Imagine" and airs on Wednesdays from 7pm-9pm on WURD, 900 on your A.M. dial or by internet from http://900amwurd.com/

"Buttamilk – It all started with you." – Jill Scott (from the liner notes of her debut LP Who Is Jill Scott?)

Essentially, buttamilk is a concept that started in Philadelphia around 1994 with three fellows named Gene, Kenny, and Marv. They all met working as interns at the classic soul station, WDAS, in Philadelphia.

Realizing that we all had a great time together and all had a love for music, especially music that was just under the commercial radio radar, we decided to band together and throw some parties. Kenny would host, Gene would get on the mic, and Marv spun the tunes.

Our first event was a house party for Kenny's birthday. We thought that it would be cool and a twist to invite some singers to sing over instrumentals as people moved and grooved...just a slight departure from the "throw your hands in the air like you just don't care," chants, you know?

Simplistic and hardly groundbreaking, but to the audience we played to, it was a thrill. People thought they were hearing new versions of tracks because they couldn't see the artists. Sometime after that party, we brainstormed on how to present what we did at that jam, but shed more light, literally, on the artists performing.

We wanted to put together a show that would showcase music, singing, and spoken word to working class Philadelphians whose taste were fairly mainstream. We wanted to bring a high level of entertainment with style and intellect to everyday people. But, we needed a name...

Buttamilk

Two records that Marv always played were Audio Two's "Top Billin" and A Tribe Called Quest "Butter." The Audio Two track had a line "Milk is chillin, what more can I do Top Billin," and the Tribe track featured Phife's hook, "It's like butta...not no parkay, not no margarine, strictly butta."

On top of that connection, being the cognitive fellows that we were, we made the correlation: Butter is what you spread to add flavor and stimulate taste, Milk is what you drink for the nourishment you need to grow…Buttamilk!

The First Show

WDAS, the station where we all worked, has an annual street festival called Unity Day. This event is huge, averaging ½ million people every summer for years. If you wanted to see your R&B/Soul idols like James Brown or the Isley Brothers or Chaka Kahn, Unity Day was it. But beyond the main stage, there were several pavilions and stages. There was a literary pavilion that was perfect for our aims. Throughout the day, the station planned to have writers and poets sign their books and meet and greet. We thought it be a good idea to have some people perform while Marv played his eclectic instrumentals and the station agreed.

(Now here’s a flashback to a couple months prior to the big day).

Kenny and I went to a friend of his backyard barbeque. Mixing and mingling, we came upon a woman named Jill. We talked about what we were up to and our aspirations and we saw that she seemed really interested. Somehow things segued into an on the spot audition as Jill effortlessly scatted jazz style, the lyrics to Onyx’s “Throw Your Guns In The Air.” Sticky Fingaz’s verse to be exact.

We couldn’t believe her voice, her ease, and the way she transformed a rough and tough Hip Hop tune into jazz. If she was down with us, we were down with her performing at our inaugural event several weeks later at the WDAS Unity Day celebration.

Unity Day with Jill Scott was where Buttamilk spread its wings into four years of parties and events that would showcase the likes of the Roots, JazzyFatNastees, Ursula Rucker, Wadud, Stephanie Renee, Rich Medina, Sarah Jones, novelist Omar Tyree, James Poyser, Jafar Barron, Dick Gregory, Sonia Sanchez, King Britt, and Nelson George.

Recorded in the mid-90s to showcase songs that were good but not on the radio. There used to be a television ad that proclaimed pork as "the other white meat."

A double reverse play on the words of that idea and you have

...Dana Bryant, Mother Earth, Groove Collective, Society of Soul, Me'Shell NdegéOcello, Maxwell, Sade, Mighty Bop, Sylk 130, Groove Theory, Soul II Soul, Caron Wheeler, James Talyor Quartet, Count Basic, Towa Tei, Jamiroquai...

I hope you enjoy all these volumes and versions.

Thank you for spending time with my blends and for letting your friends know.

I am working to have all of the best of my archives available here on this page. Stay tuned in.

Clean

Welcome to the alternate universe that was in my ears in the late 80s/early 90s.

The 22nd edition of my Beats, Jazz, & Soul mixtapes was a nod to the influence of the sounds that I found in the import bins while record shopping early on in my DJ career. Artists like Soul II Soul, Jamiroquai, Brand New Heavies, Sweetback (a band consisting of members of Sade's musicians/producers), and Loose Ends showed me that the jazzy soul groove sound, I thought, at the time, exclusive to black america went way beyond barriers of color and nationality.

When I called this London Soul Classics, it was because when I made this, these kinds of songs were not that well received in a U.S. mainstream club environment, but were the jams in the 'underground' scenes...parties thrown by Giant Step in NYC or King Britt & friends in Philly, which usually had internationals in the audience. I'd heard, seen, read that people would dance to these kinds of songs in clubs in the UK that were as large as mainstream clubs in the U.S. - giving me hope that this music wasn't just for head nodding to in headphones or home listening, but for dancing as well.

I learned that it took really free spirits to be able to let go to these kinds of sounds and those spirits are the spirits that I love and play to.

In a way, this tape was positive and wishful thinking that someone from overseas would hear that I understood worldwide groove and extend an invitation to me to play there.

The simple dreams of a DJ trying to make a mark.

As you see in the photo, like the Brand New Heavies song Dream Come True http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HH5lEIhjOHY&feature=fvw - that dream DID come true. That's me on a curb and on a poster in London.

Omar - Music For The Pipe
Peter Brown - For Your Love
Sweetback feat. Amel Larrieux - You Will Rise
Sade - Keep Looking
Sade - Siempre Hay Esperanza
Loose Ends - A Little Spice
The Brand New Heavies - Never Stop
Soul II Soul - Back To Life

Brother Marv...lovin' what the presence of your music and your vibe brings to the world for some years now...I've had the pleasure of revisiting the classics that I 'met' you through in the House of Nubian days...comin' thru the city with the fellas to chill, scarf some Falafels from Mamoun's, chill in the village, just vibe in the cosmic energy of the city...it was with great pleasure I found your mixes on Podomatic and most especially #22...first tape I bought by you...I'm a deeply eclectic music lover but your tapes opened up a world of music I wasn't even aware of at the age of 22 and changed my world forever when I bought #24 - Dark and Lovely, still, in my humble opinion,one of the finest mixes of music you or any DJ has ever done...I've said all of this in the hopes that you will release that mix for my enjoyment and that of others who may have the opportunity to experience, be touched, be moved, and forever changed by that dark, delicious, spiritual mix of music from one of the most creative time periods of electronically produced music that you so deftly wove into an atmosphere of transcendental experience...I love that you have gotten recognition from so many from such varied geographies, interests, and cultures....you truly are an Artisan DJ and I look forward to enjoying your musical tapestries for years to come....definitely will look for you next time I'm up top...

Peace, Blessings, & Love to You and Your Family...

Yes, I know that title ends with a preposition, but it is the name of the cornerstone composition composed by Skitz and Roots Manuva.

All of these mixes begin with a cornerstone song. Wherever I place it is how the mix is built around it. It can lead off or be lead into - the cornerstone is your clue to where my mind was at. And still is.

Every set on this page is part one long playing record. Except this one has magical hidden grooves and plays infinitely.

The cornerstone is on Side B.

After doing this tape I took a breather from making mixtapes that lasted about 8 months. An enternity for me then, in 1998. My life changed in extraordinarily good ways in 1999 and Do You Really Love Me is what came out of my heart to break the fast.

What's the book?
http://amberallen.com/products-page-2/books-library-category/the-fifth-agreement-paperback/

Because there is commonality in every kind of spirituality and I like to find the threads. I drink good will logic like water and like Phife, I like it Black, White Puerto Rican, or Haitian. (Or anyone in the world whose aim is to build.)

"That's the break. This music is the intermission.

When you tired of standing up all night dancing and sweating and hollering and screaming and stomping your feet.

And it's time that your woman say - well baby I want to just sit down with you and talk with you.

That's where Barry White comes in.

And it's a slot that's fitted in every young teenager, young adult, middle aged adult, the one's that dance and don't dance.

Everybody takes time out for this kind of music somewhere on their playlist at home.

They have to!

The human mind can only stand so much of that go go go go go music.

And when you got to settle it down...the lyric and the melody is still flowing easy...

...it starts out with a concert concept, it's beautiful strings and setting you up for this thing.

It's not just a lot of screaming and loud guitars blazing everywhere."

- Barry White

(his quote can be heard at 48:19 on this http://djqoolmarvsounds.podomatic.com/player/web/2009-08-20T18_32_24-07_00

This mix was created in 2000 for Valentine's night at an L.E.S.N.Y.C. venue called SX137. Otherworldly sensual concepts throughout, the title Hug You Squeeze You comes from the tiny voice that keeps saying that phrase in the Cinematic Orchestra Song called Channel 1 Suite. (I once did a gig with them http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=454862735353&set=a.179563705353.244740.586515353. )

Special hello to my friend Alex Sumner who has supported and appreciated my style for years. We've both moved on from SX137 and spreading our art in our own unique ways.

Please direct your attention to this cool page on the New York Times website featuring artists renditions of the iconic I Love NY image. Alex has quite a few.

If you are ever in Miami - look up him up at the Gansevoort Hotel South Beach. He's a Mr. Everything over there.

A mood of reflection inspired by Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes. This includes a selection of hers that was on an album that was not released in the States. I always wondered why? My only guess is that opinion was not the thing that hits were made of. Who knows?

+ she's a Philly native + I had a crush on her...I love her verse on Donnell Jone's "You Know What's Up." That's why it's always in the record bag.

Featuring : Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopes, Groove Armada, Koop, Spacek, Pete Rock, Will I. Am, D'Angelo, Raphel Saadiq, & the also unreleased for the same peculiar reasons, Q-Tip aka Kamaal The Abstract.

I don't have the event art work but there's an image for you. My press credential from a 1993 trip to Libreville, Gabon in Africa where I went to report on a summit that was organized by Philadelphia's Rev Leon Sullivan and was well attended by many African-American civil rights luminaries including Coretta Scott King, Jesse Jackson, Cicely Tyson, & Dick Gregory. Thanks to Philadelphia radio station WDAS and their then head of the news department, E. Steven Collins, for that experience.

I had a simple quiet and unforgettable moment in an elevator there with Coretta Scott King...kinda divine

Loosely related but I hope a good story for you.

Buttarchive: Beats, Jazz, & Soul #65 - Rare & Precious Gems
Clean

A 100% vinyl mix from early 2000s featuring rare (but modern) records that are precious to me. Nowadays I use everything, vinyl, CDs, mp3s...this is a throwback to the days where I would put 15-20 records in front of me, choose the 1st and the last and then fill in the space between the bookends with songs that conveyed my philosophy.

This isn't music as accessory to drunken tomfoolery, this is music that accentuates and represents my mind, aims, influences, and lifestyle.

A bygone era where I left my home and went to record shops and got my fingers dirty flipping through 100s of vinyls to find these Rare & Precious Gems...more & more a thing of the past...more & more, my collection of vinyls shine like jewels to me. I guess I'm weird, and in good shape because it doesn't bother me to still carry vinyls to gigs...even the ones that I fly to.

Every Friday in New York City I play at a place called Bar 6 - my set there is much lighter than this mix...soul, disco, 80s, house, 90s hip hop - and do you know that I put two bags of vinyls on a compact hand truck, walk 7 blocks to the subway, pick up those two bags, approx 80-100 pounds, carry them down the steps...ride train to the village...carry them up two flights of stairs from the 14th street platform to the street and walk two more blocks to Bar 6? It's oddly satisfying. (side note - on one of these subway rides I saw I guy get on with a stand up bass and I thought, yeah, what I'm doing is not all that strenuous...a stand up bass on a subway, that's effort!)

The irony of the moment is that the musician looked at the dj and his records like the dj and his records, now, looks at the virtual dj with their laptops. Irreplaceable replaced.

No track list but here are some of the artists:

Minnie Ripperton
4 Hero
U.N.K.L.E.
Massive Attack
Joi
Carl Craig
Assata Shakur
Amalgamation of Soundz
Kudu
Portishead
David Holmes
& more

Catch me at Bar 6 sometime, might be my last go round in NYC as a regular DJ gig. I'm passing the baton to the next wave and taking my skills into the world of special events where I've become a specialist DJ.

Buttarchives : Qool Classics #6 : Hats & Spats | The Tip of the Iceberg of Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis
Clean
August 04, 2009 01:21 PM PDT
itunes pic

This mix was made for a music industry showcase that featured a performance by artists on the Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis label Perspective Records. Happened sometime in the mid to late 90s. Jimmy & Terry were due to be in the house and the event's producer gave me the green light to make a mix of their productions to play before the performances.

I got an education in big time music biz while working in the PR department of their label for one year. That was the year before I decided to go all out with DJing. Thanks to them, a beautiful chain reaction was set in motion:

Perspective Records had a private party at a place called Tramps featuring their band Mint Condition & I convinced my boss to let me play winking......the talent booker from Tramps ask me if I'd come play opening sets when he has urban shows......I did and opened for everyone from George Clinton to Erykah Badu (her 1st NYC show!!!)......to one of those legendary Prince post concert concerts......@ the Prince afterparty (the DJ booth @ Tramps was in the 'VIP') executives from Viacom were checking the steez......a nice 3-4 year (pre-celebrity DJ era) stint doing MTV and VH-1 parties......

I guess the saying 'success/luck=opportunity+preparation' is true!?!?

Best memory is getting more than one chance to spend extended time with Terry Lewis. I once helped him review and purchase a laptop at J&R Computer World in downtown Manhattan. The offices were up on 50th & 8th Ave so we got a cab to J&R and on the way, Terry asked me my opinion about a couple of artists and their releases. As an assistant to the assistant, I did not think that anything I had to say about anything would ever get to Terry Lewis's ears...this is the dude I saw jamming in a Janet Jackson video and on The Time's album covers!

So he put me on the spot, in a cab, just me & him. With quick thinking and yes-man phobia, I prefaced/disclaimored my answer with, "Terry, from the standpoint of a DJ..." and I told him that one of the records he asked me about would be a winner and that another, which had sampled the same bassline of a major hip hop hit at the time and was still fresh in the public's mind, would probably not go over well.

There were a couple of moments of quiet...some looking out of the windows...my thinking that I just got fired.

He thanked me for my thoughts, didn't say much else about music, and we went on to get that laptop. Consequently, he invited me to check out the NBA draft and have a meal with him at the Four Seasons hotel in NYC.

Terry's a real gent in this showbiz world who reminds me of words from the Rudyard Kipling poem "If."

"...walk with kings -- nor lose the common touch"

Just one year but a magical one that included going to Minneapolis and seeing Flyte Tyme Studios (saw Johnny Gill working out a song on a grand piano, members of Sounds Of Blackness...but, ugh, missed Janet Jackson by one day (and I heard she was recording a slow jam & apparently, from the way it was described, she gets INTO IT in the booth). Out of their NY office, I got to spend time with Angie Stone and even Barry White as his late albums were on A&M...Perspective's parent label.

A great gig but I lost in the numbers game and got laid-off after 12 months. Next step, DJing, so perhaps in this case the idea that one 'can't win for losing' is not always true. It's all in the way you look at it - I lost, however, I gained.

That image is an invite to the Flyte Tyme family weekend out in Minnesota.

Hats off to the men in Spats.

Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis productions for New Edition, Janet Jackson, Cherelle, Alexander O'neal, The Sounds of Blackness, Human League, SOS Band, & The Time are featured.

I sat on this mix, recorded in 2001, because started wonder if f/x like flanger needed to be used on non-electronic music.

I played this one afternoon while a mate from Manchester was in the house, a proper music head who is into the deep soul, funk, & jazz and he said he didn't mind it.

Mind you that was a year ago but after finding this set and giving it another run at high volume on a sparkling day in NYC, I've decided to share.

The predominately instrumental finale of the Sounds Of The Season series. The only vocals are from Ella Fitzgerald.

This is for the 'big kids' to play after the children go the fa la la to sleep.

Maybe your little kid can handle this mix too? It can be your way to introduce Jazz to your youngster. Every artist featured is a genuine genius.

Wishing you good things this holiday season, and all year 'round.
