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!

It’s The Monday Mixtape!!!!

This week I was inspired by Barack Obama. He always plays “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” by Stevie Wonder at the end of his campaign speeches. At first it kinda baffled me because Obama is in his mid forties. Then I remembered that it was probably his “Old School” choice. Every generation will have their “Old School” and I shudder to think that this stuff playing now will be the “Old School” choices for my 9 year old daughters (cringe).

So this week I threw together a mix of what I thought would be some of Barack Obama’s “Old School” choices for him and Michelle. He may never listen to it…but I’m proud of it. Consider it my little token of love to the man who will be the first Black President of the United States!

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?
