Monday Mixtape: Wedding Reception Mix

DJ Diva — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 15:04:08 +0000

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!

Did you miss me? I missed you. I missed you so much I followed you today..

This mix means a lot to me. Those of you who knew me as a teenager, knew that I was a firm follower of the Daisy Age. I walked around with hand painted daisies on the butts of my jeans, wore a leather Africa piece, had the Mexican poncho with the Native American woven backpack. In my ears was a yellow Sony waterproof Walkman with homemade mixtapes of pro Black, pro Women, pro progress music. This was also during the aftermath of the crack epidemic…when Harlem still could resemble New Jack City..and the lyrics in the musics lamented the effects of crack and what it did to ordinary people.

It was music for teenagers..dealing with similar issues…it helped us address our raging hormones..boys wanted the same thing girls wanted…and it was ok…you wasn’t gonna hit it…but we could laugh about the desire. Nobody was called a ho, a b*tch, or a slut. There was no n*gga in every other sentence. They talked about keeping cool, never mentioned a gun and even addressed the taboo subject of complexion.

I love this music. It meant a lot to me. It carried me through my last two years of HS right on into Temple University. That’s why this is the Temple Mix.
