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!!)

This week I decided to do a little Diva/Band Mixtape. I mixed up with some funk and some disco. Found time to include a little rap which of course started in the 70′s. If you don’t know all the lyrics to Rapper’s Delight…you are not a black music fan!In that section Todd Kelly dropped through.  Mr. Fresh made sure to get in a request for “Disco Nights” by GQ. I can just see him hustling can’t you? Me and EJ share a deep love for LTD…when they wore funky clothes and danced like rabbits. DJ Diva is a true lover of Diva music so I had to include Donna Summers, Gloria Gaynor and start off the mix with two of my favorites by Diana Ross. My husband has been requesting Earth Wind and Fire for like forever so I blessed him with two of our favorite cuts. And lastly…My brothers…the twins…love to rollerskate so I included some songs I can remember from when my aunts used to take me skating at the old rink on 135th and Broadway.

I hope you enjoy it!
