Hey Everybody! This week’s mixtape was the result of a poll I placed on my Facebook “Like” page. I gave the people a choice and the resounding result was an Old School Slow Jam mix. Well this ain’t your typical slow jam mix. My mixes usually take on my moods muscially and this one is no different! It’s all about freedom, heartbreak and rebirth! I hope you all enjoy it and participate the next time I put up a poll!

Happy New Year Everybody!

The new year is starting out great for me…I’ve been pulled back into my old hustle of making customized mixtapes. I had so much fun with this one. This is the story:

One of my good friends L put me in touch one of her friends who was having a cruise ship wedding. When it was determined that my schedule wouldn’t allow me to go to DJ for her, she still wanted a mixtape of her and the groom’s favorite songs done by me. She arranged for the ship’s DJ to allow her to play the cd. Now I know he ain’t gonna be happy when he see them having a ball to my set and sitting during his…but…that’s not my problem.

We contracted a nice rate, she sent me her list of 50 songs. I pared that down to 34 and I produced a pretty tight mix. Matter of fact…the mix was so good I needed to share it with yall too. It has everything on it from hip-hop to soca. A little reggae, some R&B and of course some old school. This is not the final mix that I’m producing for her but it will be very similar with specialized drops and such.

I will be hyping my customized mixtapes for hire in the future so i hope you email me at djdivathemixtress@gmail.com if you have need for something special. For my friend L I made her cds for her 30th b’day with a song from each year of her birth. She gave them out a party favors on her b’day trip to Vegas! I’m also excited about this because I know my niche is small parties and weddings. There will be more info forthcoming about contracting me for that.

Enjoy the mix!

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 (That’s why Shower Me is last Pam cause you ran that one to death!) I hope you all enjoy it!

Yup…you had to wait for this one too! I have been very busy at my job…which is managing a big academic office in a well known Graduate University. It’s the end of the year so I have all sorts of conferences coming up and parties to organize. 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!

Here is the link to the cut up version of the mix (yeah I got tired of the whining DIVALICIOUS!!)
