Check out this smooth Michael Jackson mix by the legendary Qool DJ Marv on Soul Bounce

Qool DJ Marv has often been called the hardest working DJ in New York City.  He has spun around the world from Miami and LA to London and Croatia.  He’s been the house DJ for HBO and been commissioned to make mixes for some of the greatest legends ever in music (including Russell Simmons, Ashford and Simpson, and Michael Jackson’s greatest collaborator, Quincy Jones).  It’s only fitting that he would create Vol 2. in Soul Bounce’s Summer series of MJ mixes.  Click here for the download.  Here’s the tracklist:

This mix covers the entirety of Michael Jackson’s career from Ben to Beat It to Butterflies.  At 49 tracks, it is as comprehensive as it gets.  Beyond the breadth, it’s the remixes that make this a one of a kind tribute (the Brazilian version of Rock With You is a classic).  R.I.P. to the King of Pop.  There will never be another.  Click here to download.  Tracklist is below.
