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

The Seven Songs that are starting my summer off right!

1. Hi Haters – Maino - I haven’t always been an angel. I know I have pissed some folks off royally! Yet, they still feel the need to follow me from blog to blog. That’s cool. So to you I say…Hi Hater LOL Seriously…I was walking down 125th with sis in law…this song came on…at least 10 people within listening distance started dancing…yours truly included…right on the street (I love Harlem)….no doubt this is my jam…

2. Take You Down – Chris Brown - It’s no secret that I stan for Chris Brown hard! (at least it shouldn’t be lol) This song is so hot. The beat is like a cross between Prince and Ready For The World (to me) and the lyrics and tonality are classic Chris Brown. Sigh…This is my song!

3. Damaged/2 of You – Danity Kane-I watched Making the band 3 and just ate up every episode. I was one of those people that watched it on the regular night and re-runs during the week. Puff did not disappoint. But what else did you expect?

4. I Luv Your Girl – The Dream ft Young Jeezy- Just because it drives my husband nuts cause he thinks everybody loves his girl LMAO…Nah…cause it’s banging and I like to shake my caboose.

5. Lollipop – Lil Wayne (and all them other negros that jumped on the track)-When I said that I liked this song…One of the brothers from Hybridnation jumped on me LOL…But what can I say? I liked “It Ain’t No Fun” by Krupt & Snoop and GoldDigger by Kanye Pest. I say now like I said then…I ain’t the chick he singing bout.

6. Dangerous Akon ft. Kardinal Offishall - Again…I love to dance and this one is a mover…

7. You’re the only one – Eric Benét - I got this from those wonderful folks over at SoulBounce. I love Eric Benet…even if he has a pinga problem…

It’s time for the Monday Mixtape!

This week’s mix is about Chicago stepping. Not the electric slide style of stepping…

The holding your partner close and swinging them out in gracefulness…and then back again. They hardly ever played slow jams in New York City clubs so when I traveled to other cities and experienced sensuousness of it…it blew my mind.

R. Kelly broke the mold on my dancing experience with his first stepping tune “Step In The Name of Love“. R. Kelly in the black coat(swoon) Instead of maintaining a respectable distance from my partner for fear of unwanted grinding…now me and my partners were holding hands and really experienced an in tune, synchronized two-step. I would practice so many variations of it in the house, playing with my steps, kicks and twirls, that my twins are very good at stepping too. .
The DJs in New York would play the stepping tunes…but they never went further and played the slow jams that were good for stepping too. So my mix will combine what I’ve learned from both New York, Chicago and Philadelphia. It is heavily sprinkled with R. Kelly because he’s my favorite but I’m sure you will enjoy some of the other tracks too. Shoutout to my girl Amneris who requested some slow jams for her birthday last week. The Brian McKnight is for you girl! I never knew about the Jon B song so I was very excited about finding it! The Curtis Mayfield is a classic and Gerald Levert has quite a few good songs for stepping.

Sidenote: At the passing of Sean Levert, the R&B community is in shock. My condolences go out to Eddie Levert and his family. To lose both of your sons at such a young age must be terrible for him. I wish you God’s strength and blessings on your family during your time of grief.

Enjoy the mix!
