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...

The music speaks for me because no words can describe this great night in my life. A convergence of everything excellent, a night where I played music at an HBO event for Harry Belafonte at the restaurant & lounge Red Rooster. Immense gratitude to all that made that possible - especially to those who made the possibility of my Mom joining me at this celebration of the screening of the Susanne...

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. I only had to imagine what it would be like to be at a party in the 1920s. What would be the feel of an evening out? Back then, that was going to the club. http://theurbandaily.com/tv/jbarrow/qool-dj-marv-is-hbos-secret-weapon...

This is like an R&B mix, except at house music tempo. 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 he...

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...

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. Especially as the opener on a boatride that included two Chicago house music legends Anthony Nicholson (http://www.5chicago.com/features/june2011/anthony-nicholson/) and Boo Williams. During introductions, I told them that I was "t...

Wanted to get this out in time for fans of the show to enjoy as a warm up to the 8th and final season. Moving and grooving, promise you a track listing in a little bit. This is one way to get a feel for what one of these parties is like. Be there with your ears and...

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.

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...

A dearly beloved friend and me really enjoy the music of H.I.M. So much so that we collaborated on this FF (fantastic fantasy) mix to show how much he influences our own art of crafting style and music. You Sexy Are You Ready?

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 En...

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 irrel...

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 m...

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...

Recorded live at New York City's Edison Ballroom (formerly known as the Supper Club) in November 2010. I don't feel that guilty - I went to prep school! http://woodberryforestschoolmap.org/ And when I was a kid the black radio station that I listened to would play music by Boz Scaggs, Steely Dan, & the Rolling Stones. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WDAS-FM Cream -White Room Jimi Hendrix - Along...
