Hey everybody! Did you miss me? I’m sorry I had to put the mixtress on hiatus for so long but sometimes you have to put home life first ya dig?

This week’s Monday mixtape is once again dedicated to the King of R & B Producers: Teddy Riley! I’ve made no secret about how much I adore Teddy’s work. This makes the third mixtape I’ve done for him. You can find the others here:

Monday Mixtape: Teddy Riley Mix 2

Monday Mixtape: The New Jack Swing

This mixtape is really centered on his Uptown days. I remember when my mother brought home the first Guy album on 33. I sat for hours listening to it over and over. It was such a fresh sound, so different from the standard R&B format of the 80′s. I adored their clean cut look and Teddy was such a short cutie pie.

Well, I hope you enjoy this mixtape and the others I have coming up on following Mondays: I have a Carnival Soca mix, a Nate Dogg tribute, a Neo Soul mix,  a 90′s Bounce pt 2…let’s just say I’ve been busy in my absence.

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!

Hey Everybody! You missed me? I missed you guys too.

It’s been an easy summer….I been real haphazard with my mixes.. I won’t even lie..I put in so much work into myself…but it’s been worth it. I’ve had a lot of fun this summer..my girls are spending yet another summer in the South..I been hanging out with my husband and getting back into ourselves. One of our projects has been baby making.

R & B has been making a hard comeback! Maxwell, Al B Sure, Ryan Leslie…these mens been doing it!

I put together a bunch of my favorites as well as some new and cool joints I love.

This mixtape was well thought out. Hubby and I believe in foreplay…get down…foreplay..and then get down again..and of couse cuddling all up in between and at the end!

Maybe that’s more info than you needed…but I really needed to get across on how this mixtape should be played and listened to.

Those of you who don’t have a boo…I hope you enjoy it too and the best part is…

It’s free!

You know my birthday is coming up so if you haven’t responded to the invite…please do so…I’d love to see you all there but I understand if you can’t make it! (for those out of town I know you can’t make it but I didn’t want to leave you out!)

This week’s Monday Mixtape was inspired by several different factors. Whenever I go to a party I always request songs…I can’t help it! And I always love when they play a track beyond the 2 min break…for me …some songs are meant to be 5-9 mins long!

I was watching Rupaul this week so I had a feeling I wanted to hear some Carl Bean.

Also, do you have a favorite mix or playlist that you like to hear while you getting ready to go out? Well I have been lacking one of those…so this one will be perfect!

My sister Divalicious usually has a request and this week it was for Jocelyn Brown.

Lastly…I happened to hear my husband singing Gwen Guthrie’s Aint Nothing Going On But The Rent and it was so funny that I had to throw that in too. Remember…the Mixtress does take requests! Just drop them in the comment section or facebook or twitter (yeesh)

@KingBoola I got your Alexander O’Neal coming!

 That is my favorite picture of my wedding! It has been one year since everybody’s favorite blogging couple, DJ Diva and Scribe, were married in Memphis TN. If you are new to our story…you can read through the archives of DJ Diva at the blogspot site. Here’s a short summary: We met through Myspace and have been together (exclusively) since our first date on May 5th, 2006. We got engaged on Christmas of 2006 and then married on 7/29/07.

Our love is sooo strong that it kinda reminds me of being in love as a teenager. When you used to think that you really could be together forever. So for our anniversary mix, we picked love songs that we really loved from the 80′s.

 Also in this mix…. Anewlis, Mr.Fresh, Fave and his wife Eve provided me with wonderful drops. Fave also has a spot where he lets us know about his upcoming podcast containing an interview with the peoples over at Soulbounce.com. I can’t wait cause yall know that site is tops in my book!

Enjoy the mix and I thank you in advance for all of your well wishes on our anniversary. Believe me…we are one happy couple!

15.Please Dont Go Remix – TGT (Tyrese Ginuwine Tank)- Negroes always trying to beg u back!

17.Contagious – Isley Brothers & R Kelly – I’ve never been busted per se…

18.Friend of Mine – Kelly Price ft. R Kelly & Ron Isley – And I never busted anyone with my Best Friend…but if I did? Refer back to #1

28. Confessions Part II – Usher – I forced the Ranting Runt to do this to his girl…he had to confess…I had too much evidence!

29. You Oughta Know – Alanis Morrisette – But I ended up singing this song!

30. Cowboys and Angels – George Michael – Now this is a song to the one who broke my heart the best….I should have learned from the lyrics:

You can call it love
But I don’t think it’s true
You’re not to blame
It always ends the same

Please be stronger than your past
The future
May still give you
A chance

And it does…those who want to cheat…they will always find a way to….I’m glad to say that I am a reformed cheater. It won’t happen again (never ever…never ever?) Yes never again. I have finally found the man who deserves my faithfulness. Scribe….the most wonderful man I have ever met. Thank you God…for finally giving me the rest I needed in him.

Which was your favorite cheating song?
