Monday Mixtape: Bentley’s House Mix
(THE CD VERSION OF THIS MIX CAN BE PURCHASED HERE)
My boy Fave recently went on a search for my first House Music Mixtape on the mixtress. That made me smile but then I listened to it too. I have come such a long way since then. I decided to do a bit of a remix [...]
Monday Mixtape: 80’s Smooth Grooves Vol 4
As usual you are listening to this on Tuesday. Hopefully things slow down in my personal life or I will have to change the name of the mixtape (uhm..not! LOL)
Anyway, this Monday Mixtape was a request from a wonderful woman at my job. She’s sweet and we share so many things in common. It’s also dedicated to my Aunt Pam because I can remember hearing all this music at her house all the time in the 80’s
Monday Mixtape: 90’s Bounce
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!
Monday Mixtape: 70’s Heartbreak
Hey Everybody! This week’s mixtape is all about 70’s heartbreak. I picked some of the songs that used to make me cry, my momma cry and my daddy. I’m sure Grandma listened to quite a few of these too!I’m trying out something new. I’ve had a lot of requests for more slow music so
Monday Mixtape: Temple/RealHipHopMix v.1
This mix means a lot to me. Those of you who knew me as a teenager, knew that I was a firm follower of the Daisy Age. I walked around with hand painted daisies on the butts of my jeans, wore a leather Africa piece, had the Mexican poncho with the Native American woven backpack. In my ears was a yellow Sony waterproof Walkman with homemade mixtapes of pro Black, pro Women, pro progress music. This was also during the aftermath of the crack epidemic…when Harlem still could resemble New Jack City..and the lyrics in the musics lamented the effects of crack and what it did to ordinary people.
Monday Mixtape Michael Jackson The King of Pop
RIP Michael…my first love…I will miss you always!
Monday Mixtape: Funked
I will end up taking a few weeks off from the Mixtress because of the job, plus I’m learning so much at the Scratch Academy I wanna start practicing at home more. With the new turntables and loads of records that I have to catalog…I will be quite busy!
So I’m gonna leave you with some funk to tide you over til I get back. I also have a surprise!

Blue Eyed Soul Part 1: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (1025) Blue Eyed Soul Part 2: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (284)This week’s Monday Mixtape may sound like a repeat. For some of you it is lol
I love Blue Eyed Soul and last year I did a mix and posted it. Well I did two mixes and posted the wrong one with the track listing. So today I decided to revisit them, post both with the [...]
Monday Mixtape: Teddy Riley Mix 2
Sorry I’m a day late! Even Divas have to work sometimes…
This Monday’s Mix is all bout the New Jack Swing! AGAIN!!!
Teddy Riley is and was a genius back in his Uptown days. Every album that came out by Uptown, I was up in the record store on 145th st and Amsterdam copping the 33! Believe that. My sweet sixteen party was almost completely a Teddy Riley party!!! All the Rice dances…the dances at the parks..Every teen party was an Uptown party in Harlem!
So enjoy the mix!
