As a DJ he gigs all over the globe. As a producer he runs one of the biggest labels in the business, LOT49, and his discography dates all the way back to the mid 90s. Clearly Dylan Rhymes (a.k.a. Marvin Beaver) has a talent for music. As accomplished as he may be in that realm, I’ve always thought that Marvin may have missed his true calling as a comedian. Creative with a quick wit and an inexhaustible energy, Marvin might just as easily be writing sketches for Saturday Night Live. Those gifts have served him well as a DJ though. While many other jocks can seem aloof and distant in the booth, Marvin is animated, playful and gregarious. He has a talent for engaging with a crowd which, along with his music, give his live sets an entertainment value that few DJs can match.

Marvin was in fine form at Opel’s 8-Year Anniversary celebration where he did a masterful job of lathering up the crowd in the main room with a bangin’ tech house set before turning the decks over to Meat Katie. He was also kind enough to let me record his set so that I could share it with all of you. Happy downloading, Boys and Girls, and enjoy!
