Qoolstreams Of Consciousness - Qool DJ Marv Vinyl Set - LIVE Mixtape Recording

An invitation to watch and enjoy my mellow good madness. People say artists are a lil bit crazy. I can’t push back on that, fortunately, I can channel my wildness toward creative listening. When something in the music connects, my mind hears looks listen sees – if I like or love, it seeps into me, going everywhere through me, like oxygen and blood. Then I gush.

What washes out is the bliss of connection and everything from within me, you see, my thoughts & insights, my sights seen, my family and friends, my movements…all burnished by the desire to find connection while solving the challenge of combining tones in attainment of cohesiveness by way of rhythm and flow. My way of solving a most fun puzzle as it’s much like a timed treasure hunt.

Curtis Mayfield sang, “Little child runnin’ wild.”

Curious?

Because more is happening in the presentation of me at my imagination station, conveying through deejaying.

Inspiration for the main screen of my livestream – Qoolstreams of Consciousness – comes from the big screen TVs, which are above eye level and just beyond the entrances, of most delis and markets in New York City. On those TVs, me, you and everybody are watched and recorded…for security and loss prevention purposes.

Anti-theft theater.

I like flipping scripts. Deconstructing the watching me for what I might take energy and reconstructing it, braiding it with the concept/personal reality of being black me. In the fine print of the job description of being black is that part about the non-stop omnipresence of malevolent attentions. Everyone wants to confirm their negative assumptions and pre-existing conditions on accepting you as a good person, from only a glance. Glance Culture is real is something that I consider; in half of a song you receive an eyeful of connection driven intention.

Watching me…you will take…notice of what I GIVE with my given, discovered and nurtured gifts.

It would not be a stretch to categorize this as a version of live performance art. I am doing my art, which I do perform. One way that I’ve delivered concept and technique is via the mixtape. The 1st Qoolstreams of Consciousness was the 1st time I’ve ever done my thing (in my room at home) with eyes on my very private self.

The streams-of-consciousness, you see, are me with my mind in motion + concurrent and recurring self-coaching thoughts and phrases + photos & images of my whole life, public and private. Because all of that information is constantly flowing through my mind as I play.

The Qool Marv vibe on full display – you’ll see how I sound inside.

I wonder, what will be your take?

Gift yourself, please, my love is free.

Qoolstreams of Consciousness v1 - Qool DJ Marv Livestream - August 10 2020

Debut stream of my live mixtape recording. A look inside.

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/706173350

https://www.facebook.com/QoolMarv/videos/719873475535175/

Links to (just) the music from my livestream debut, where I basically made a mixtape - a process I've done alone and in private from day 1. Like when the kid gets quiet in their room, when I do that, with music, I'm definitely up to something.

What that is, pretty much, is promoting the concept of self-expansion.

How I play is an expression of my expansion mindset. It's freeing.

Being who I am in the country that I live in, practicing - free - is a must. So far, this is the only way I know how to be completely free (other than running the 110 meter high hurdles with all my might...and I'm way too old for that kind of expression of freedom).

You see my life and running thoughts flash throughout. I'll get that video smoother, y'all missed me busting some moves.

Go for that good stuff friends and family and fill your self up.

Thank you anyone and everyone who ever looked my way, and noticed. Makes me real, helps me feel whole.

MARV LIVE at the i.ny 2019 Block Party at Mickey Martins aka Block Party in the Nth Dimension - Oct 20 2019

Description courtesy of i.ny:

The Block Party is a classic, low-down, heartfelt, neighbourhood New York tradition. Shut both ends of the block, rack up barbeques, ice drinks, unfold furniture, wear little, set the decks and turn it up.
It’s where the members of a single community congregate, to observe an event of importance, or simply for mutual enjoyment. The name comes from the closing of a city block to traffic, so the people of that block can gather, can dance, can eat and drink together, be together. It’s a celebration. It’s a form of activism, and an artistic effort, reclaiming the street as a public space, a shared and joyous space.

The I.NY Block Party will take a gentler form – less racous-ness, more Sunday afternoon ease – when Qool Marv sets up in Mickey Martin’s brick lane to run through his 40-year collection of New York soul, funk, hip-hop & breaks, each record dropped in the spirit of the Block Party, the spirit of the community.

Qool DJ Marv Live at INY 2018 in Limerick Ireland - Inspired by the 5 Boros of NYC - October 11 2018

This set is about 75% on theme with 25% support the dancefloor embellishments. So much fun and so much love!

Qool DJ Marv takes us on a 3-hour, 4-decade, 5-Borough tour of New York records.

Qool Marv is one of New York’s finest, most skilful and most respected DJs. As resident in the city’s Meatpacking District, Lower East Side and now Dumbo SoHo House establishments, and as HBO’s DJ of choice, the Philly native and three-decade New York citizen has played for everyone from Martin Scorsese and Oprah Winfrey, to Harry Belafonte and Prince.

Returning to I.NY after a one-week, three-set visit in 2017, Marv will feature with Aoife Nic Canna, Mark ‘Scope’ Murphy, and Donal Dineen at various events in this year’s programme. He has a Thursday night all to himself though, and will be touring New York music history at the I.NY Festival Club.

In his own words… “rocking Club anthems, B-Sides and game changing jams from all five boroughs of NYC for the head nodders, break dancers and urban stylers are what’s up and in store. Expanding upon the foundation of last year’s NYC Hip Hop Influences freestyle set, this time around it’s all about the jams with the groove to make you move, and the lyrics that became everlasting Hip Hop quotables.”

Minding Michael Parts 1-5 - Qool Marv Recorded Live at Tillmans - June 27 2009

This was 5 different uploads back in 2009 when I didn't have the space on my podcast site to upload a file this large - now, when you're in the mood for a MJ marathon, you only have to click play once.

Here are words from the original post:

"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."

Qool DJ Marv LIVE at NYC DOPE Day Party at Harlem Beer Garden - August 11 2018

Great to DJ with Jon Quick and Marc Smooth, both of whom I go back with to my earliest days in New York. Quick and me, brothers in Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, reminisced about DJing together at the Brooklyn Y way back in 1993. Marc Smooth & Cosi are legends in New York as they carry forward, the music and energy of a brilliant era that many refer to as Golden. Well known for their foundation and growth of a party called Freedom, in 2017, they began a new groove called NYC Dope.

Qool DJ Marv at ENSE Launch Party - July 31 2018 - Rooftop of Paypal HQ NYC

Ense - like insta for voice. Co-created by co-creator of Venmo, Iqram A. Iqram is also a musician and on this night, he was also host, technician, performer, set it up and break it down man...the last pic in this set (see IG link) is him, on the left, rolling up a carpet. Enriched and humble, amazing combination of attributes. Special bonus at the end of this set, a little bit of an impromptu jam session with Mamadou Ba and Marlon Saunders…with Iqram on supporting vocals.

@qooldjmarv x @hbo

Thank you HBO for having me conduct the musical atmosphere at events for series, films and documentaries. I can't say I imagined 20 years of getting that call. At the Fahrenheit 451 party last night (May 8 '18) you all could hear how concept meets execution and you could see how the party went from warm glow to blazing hot.

Once upon a time, about 13 years ago, or whenever the last season of the Sopranos was happening, I got the call to play the last gathering of that game changing series (I actually did a wrap party set up on set in Tony's kitchen once). After a few years of doing entertainment industry parties, I noticed a pattern... somewhat of a template or format that favored the safe and obvious. Humbly, I asked, during a meeting at HBO headquarters, if I could shatter that plain - buttressing my suggestion by offering to be the DJ equivalent of their classic motto from the 90s - "It's not TV it's HBO."

"Your events should not sound like any other network's party, your parties should be as unique as your programming." (Paraphrasing)

From there, I asked for the 1st 90mins of that Sopranos party to show what I had in mind. At some point Little Steven from Bruce Springsteen's band looked at me and gave me the thumbs up (I'd pitched doing a Classic Rock set to open the party) and the events folks noticed and also gave me thumbs up. Highlight of that night was having David Chase - creator of the Sopranos, come up on stage with his wife and they both told me how they noticed and enjoyed what I was doing with the music.

Side note to that story is that the Sopranos party was on a Sunday...the night before, I was in Paris and the night before that, I was in Ireland... BTW, friends in Ireland have offered me space for my 1st lecture that will weave DJ culture with sociology and a bit of history.

Happening in 2018!

Qool Marv High On The Verve at Soho House NYC - 28th Re-Vision - August 19 2017 - Mind on My Matters and Our Matters on My Mind

I changed my dream, re the American Dream, from King's Dream to a dream that I like better. Like, in my dream - informed by the axiom, "the world/nobody owes you nothing" and also by my personal observations and experiences - in my dream I accepted not being accepted in America.

Informed by what people say and what people do, it was easy to see and ascertain that behaviors can be kept in check by laws, mandates, orders and the threat of prison or financial loss. "Play nice to show the world we are about progress, inclusion, and opportunity for all. Not saying you have to change your mind, however." (Said the most honest and true but scariest shadowy character in my dream.)

Knowing that mindsets stayed where they were, witnessed by the family's young, who learn the approving look in an elder's eye caused by, first mimicking, then imitation. "It'd be great if everyone knew who is boss," thinks them. (I am accepted by many American individuals and and in many homes and places all over America; In the envisioned/imagined/recalled Great America, no.)

So I decided that I'd concentrate on being accepted by the whole world, as a human being, with a good gift. America, when Maya Angelou advised, “When someone shows you who they are - believe them; the first time.” I did ma'am.

I'll do what I can, here, but I dream the world of us.

Lyrics to Teardrop, originally performed by Massive Attack

Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me, makes me lighter
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Night, night of matter
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my

Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Of a confession
Fearless on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Qool Marv Plays for Oprah Winfrey at HBO Films Premiere of the Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks at TAO Downtown New York City on April 18 2017

---------

The after party for the NY premiere of the HBO film The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks starting Oprah Winfrey. Amazing and sobering Hidden Figures level historical.

Started the night with Toccata by Dizzy Gillespie and his Orchestra, a song I heard when I saw the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater perform to it.

My Mom, who came from Philly for the night, told me that she saw Oprah grooving and said she thought to herself, "Oh my God, Oprah's dancing to my son's music!"

Pride & Joy

A beautiful night.

Thank you, HBO!

Thank you HBO!

You can play this for your children and your great Grands (if you still got them). Grand grooves played to set the temperature to where life was warming up during Mr. Buffett’s coming-of-age years. I was in awe of and deeply respectful to all of the wise men and women at the party. They all represented one form or another of making it far while influencing wide.

Gigs like this, for me, are just as fun as any other. As a music addict, I get to feed that crave. As an open minded music addict, a set like this expands my horizons. Putting it all together live for everyone’s enjoyment is the thrill because I improvise – which means that I prepared a playlist of 300+ songs (47 in the set) and other than 1 song that I knew I’d play for sure, I chose each song based on what I’m seeing and feeling.

Perception, awareness, flexibility (because the pool of music that I had was so large that I could’ve done this party 5 times 5 different ways) sense of timing and willingness to take (thoughtful) risks (keeping in mind the idea that risks can reap rewards). I aim for impressed praise with the impression being that I put time and my mind into my aspect of the overall presentation.

The 1 song I knew I’d play, Somewhere Over the Rainbow, has been sung by Mr. Buffett himself and the song is featured in the documentary.

Peek into my brain processor to see how I found tone:

Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Over color
Somewhere over color
Via the colorful (creativity) in any person, I hear their heart
Heartfelt harmonies is like audible inner joy
I can see their smile when they sing
Instrumentalist’s imaginative intelligence color my insight with warmth
Togetherness
Somewhere over color
Spirit?
Somewhere Over the Rainbow

I love my job because I spend most of my time listening to and looking for the best in people. One way or another, I share what I compile and I feel like I’ve done a little good.

Enjoy!

Special thanks are in order to Dave Stone and Darren Laws. Once more, I enjoyed myself with many great people who live in the stellar little big city on the river Tyne.

Darren was the 1st person to call me to invite me to Manchester back in November 1999. I met Dave when, because of Darren and his Manchester mates, I had the opportunity to visit and play in Brighton. We became friends through the music and we've stayed in touch over the years.

Dave is also one of the minds behind these three great places in Newcastle: http://www.wylambrewery.co.uk/about/ + http://www.thebridgetavern.com/ + http://www.thetownwall.com/.

Thank you to Tokyo for opening its doors and terrace for this special occasionhttp://www.tokyonewcastle.co.uk/.

And thank you to all the great people who came to the party and showed me that people all over the world can join hands!

The party called Low Profile, started by DJ Qool Marv in 1996 at Ludlow Bar on Manhattan's Lower East Side, was a Monday night party where people blended to musical vibes from Marv and a small rotation of guest DJs in a basement room full of folks of all kinds having a great time dancing, making friends and playing it cool shooting pool. It was called Low Profile because there are people who don't need much more than great music and a room full of creative and open minded people, and there are people who are totally fabulous and maybe even famous who just want to be in an atmosphere where they need not care about who they are because they are having so much fun blending in to where they are. Low Profile was originally hosted and promoted by DeShawn, Myorr and Mark.

That feeling of we're all in this together in a place where cool came easy could be felt by the warmth in the music. Many styles and genres are flowed through throughout the evening and all the music was conscientiously selected and woven to be that blanket of rhythm that mostly made you smile and want to dance. Joy and laughter were constants. Dub Reggae, that Jazzy 90s Hip Hop, sensual Deep House, eclectic Electronica, and Funk/Soul sensations all night led to many 4am lights on sing-a-longs to Stevie Wonder's "As".

The 2nd chapter of Low Profile is set at the trailblazing Meatpacking District venue APT where the room was prettier and the sound was louder and crisper. The party had graduated to a larger and more stylish venue, however, because of APT's nondescript entrance, their embracing of the music format and their welcoming the Low Profile faithful, our party felt the same except with more space to dance and frolic.

In 2015, Soho House (New York) opened a brand new club/event space called Vinyl. Considering that 2 of the best DJs of New York's Soho House are at home at the House weekly (with one of those DJs, Kevin, being a resident for more than 10 years) we are ecstatic that Soho House is inviting us to rekindle the vibe of Low Profile once more...on a Monday night, just like before.

2 supporting inspirations:

One - I was telling my mom about the Roots making it from playing music on a South Street corner to becoming a band that travelled all over the U.S. and the world and is now the house band of the new Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. She wasn't aware of them and their journey. One idea behind this is a Roots mix for the older generations.

Two - I imagined this scenario between a Dad and his son. Dad's hipping son to the Hip Hop of his day. Thanks to a cool mix from a DJ named Marv, Dad played his boy the entire mix on a drive from Philadelphia to New York (because they scored tickets to the Tonight Show).

After each and every song, son asked "That's them too?"
"Yes, that's them too," smiled Dad.
"They sound so different, every song," the boy with the eager ears said.
"Well, they are musicians and their main voice, Black Thought, what a name eh(?), he's more than a rapper, he raps poetry, stories, information and encouragement."
"I thought rappers just talked about themselves and how they the best," said son.
"They are best at self-aggrandizement, I always needed more son," taught Dad.
(The Seed 2.0 starts playing)
"Oh who is this? Are we finished listening to the Roots," asked son.
"That's them too," beamed Dad while reaching for the + sign on the volume control.
"Wow, that's them too," said son with a voice that trailed off as he looked out the window and saw New York City on the horizon.

(Narrator: "Each time [son] asked "That's them too," in his mind's eye, heart & soul and deep in his consciousness, he was actually saying, "That's me too. That's me too. That's me, too. That's me.")

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.

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 Trump Tower 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.
