DJ Diva

This is my Neo Soul.

I almost wrote the back story to this mixtape but I decided to just keep it clean. No need to stir up drama.

This mix is full of tracks that I heard live. Whether the artist was on the come-up or like in the case of D’Angelo, recorded the best album she/he recorded in my book. I saw him at the Beacon…in the all white (Holla if you hear me) when Mos Def was his opening act…I caught Kindred at Le Bar Bat, Jilly and Badu in Philly…Jaguar and Anthony in Jersey and Algebra in ATL. I stumbled into a bar years ago and heard Goapele..staggered into another and heard Floetry. I paid good monies to see Maxwell and Raphael and never regretted a dime!! When I had the pleasure of seeing these artists perform these songs, it sent an aural pleasure down into my bones. I know this one will be on repeat in my IPod…I hope it will be for you too!

Hey Everybody! I had more requests for the 90’s so this time I went mid late 90’s. Full of the bouncy R&B joints and since I spent the weekend with hubby, I threw in a few joints for him too. He’s been playing my Mellow May and August Heat mixtapes a lot in the last two weeks so I know this will make it onto his Ipod as well. I experimented and practiced more with the techniques I learned at the Scratch Academy..Sometimes it worked…sometimes I didn’t quite hit the mark..I’m a work in progress. Despite the minor flaws I’m sure you’ll love it as much as I do!

Special thanks to my podcast crew for their drops. If you want to submit one or hype yourself in my mix…send me a 12 sec or less mp3 file to djdivathemixtress@gmail.com

It's Time for the Old School Thursday spotlight.

Today's Mix is focused on Frankie Beverly And Maze.

It should have been my birthday tribute to Trixie AKA Amneris. I balked at doing it because the first song is not "My Song", like everyone loves to say.... But I did enjoy most of the tracks. So this one is for you sister girl! Sorry it took so long!

Again...Monday will be the release of the new site and new lineup...Stay tuned!
