Buttarchive: Beats, Jazz, & Soul #22 - London Soul Classics
January 06, 2011 16:57 - 1 hour - 214 MBWelcome 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 a...
The Wire - The HBO Series 4th Season Premiere Party '08
December 31, 2010 21:01 - 1 hour - 184 MBWith 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 i...
An R&B groover mix for a Lennox Lewis/HBO reception
December 31, 2010 18:19 - 1 hour - 183 MBHBO 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 Kindred - Far Away Toni Toni Tone - It Never Rains In S...

Jazzy Vibes of Latin America - A Qool DJ Marv Live Set of Latin Jazz, Salsa, Cuban & more
November 11, 2010 07:35 - 3 hours - 327 MBLatin 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 satisfa...

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.

Mr. Brown: "I don't want nobody to give me nothing. Open up the door. I'll get it myself."
July 22, 2008 17:16 - 1 hour - 121 MBLyrics 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 off...
The Creative Factory (A Moscow Based Advertising Agency) Special Edition Mix CD
July 22, 2008 16:15 - 1 hour - 183 MBIn 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 ...
Sunshine On Your Face On a Sunday Afternoon- Live from the Cove Atlantis in the Bahamas
July 22, 2008 03:16 - 29 minutes - 311 MBPlaying 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 ot...
Live @ the Sopranos Last Cast & Crew Party Ever - March 12, 2006 @ Roseland, NYC
July 11, 2008 00:24 - 1 hour - 276 MBWhat 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 ...

Live in Paris, France 11/03/06 @ les 9 billards, 179 rue St Maur Paris 10ème - - Qool DJ Marv LIVE!
July 09, 2008 22:22 - 1 hour - 252 MBThanks 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...
90's Nostalgia - 60 minute Native Tongue Mix (A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Common, Jungle Brothers, Queen Latifah, Mos Def & more)
July 03, 2008 03:09 - 1 hour - 42.1 MB'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...
Peace and Quiet - Intersecting Introspective Performances of Classical and Jazz Piano Virtuosos - A Beats, Jazz, and Soul Special Relax and Unwind Edition
July 01, 2008 20:45 - 1 hour - 52.8 MBAmong 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 enjoy...
