Summary: Qool Marv Plays at HBO Films Premiere of Fahrenheit 451 at TAO Downtown New York City on May 8 2018 Hear this mix, see the film, then listen again and see how I braid the aural atmosphere of the party with plot, themes and visuals of the film. The audience re-experiences the film, unwittingly, while immersed in revelry at the celebration.

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.
