Monday Mixtape: Dancehall Classics

Hey Everybody! It's DJ Diva The Mixtress of R&B, but I really love all genres of music. You knew that right?

This week's mix was inspired by a post I saw a month ago on Soulbounce.com. Shout out to Butta, Nova and Ill Mami my girl from Harlem!

Also in this mix, my Soul Podcasting crew (That's right yall I gave us a name...we's a crew now!) They stopped by to show me some love. I couldn't include everybody this time but you can be sure their shoutouts will be in every mix from now on! I loves me some love! This week we had the Sensei, EJ Flavors of ejflavors.com, Nikki of the Soulrific podcast at theinfiniteink.com, Mr Fresh of the Sunday Soundtrack at vibesandscribes.com and Darrenkeith from the MyLoveformusic podcast at myloveformusic.blogspot.com.


Now on to Reggae in the late 80's and early 90's. It was a fresh and new sound...different from the classics we heard from Bob Marley! The music was gritting with banging beats and smooth melodies. The lyrics were full of women empowerment, adoration of females and aggresion...just what we needed LOL. This mixtape brings back my teen memories of grinding it out at the Columbia University parties in NY.

I'm still working on the mixtress site. Learning css has been a trip and it would be great if you guys could drop a line in the comments of what you would like to see before I launch and go live. My traffic has exploded to over 1000 hits a day and I need a DJ Diva 2.0 site to handle all that love!

When you get a chance, run over to Ill Doctrine's site. Jay Smooth made a Soulja Boy parady hip hop dis song for the Democratic debate. The video was hilarious! The full version posted after the break

I hope you love this Dancehall Classics Monday Mixtape by DJ Diva, The Mixtress of R&B.

Monday Mixtape: April Rain

Hey Everybody!

It's time for the Monday Mixtape! Early even...

This week's mix is entitled April Rain. It's a bimonthly compilation of the tracks that I'm digging from March and April. I would love to do this once a month, but what's being released isn't the best stuff I've heard. So I put together the best I could find (in my opinion of course).

You have probably heard my new moniker "The Mixtress of R&B". It is part of my migration to my own domain (themixtress.com) which is being worked on. When I release it I will let you guys know. Also part of the new domain will be new features for everyday of the week. The rundown will be as follows:

Mixtape Mondays - Dance music and new music posts (Full Mix)
Tasty Tuesdays - Independent artists (Quick Mix)
Worldwide Wednesdays - News and music from around the world (Quick Mix)
Old School Thursdays - Artist Spotlights (Full Mix)
Freaky Fridays - Anything goes (Quick Mix)

As my girl Nikki says "It doesn't matter which day you post a podcast as long as it's hot!"

I put up a donation button because honestly, it's costing me a pretty penny to share the mixes for free. You guys love them so much and I'm glad for the support and the love, but drop a dollar when you can in the donation box to help pay for the hosting. Thanks!

Here's the mix...I hope you enjoy it!

Monday Mixtape: Chicago Stepping/ Sean Levert

Hey Everybody!

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!

Monday Mixtape: Luther Vandross Fast Mix

Hey Everybody...It's time for the Monday Mixtape!

Yeah...I know it's Tuesday. Did I mention that I'm a mom and wife? LOL

I'm also the chick that puts it down twice a week. Show me some love!

This week I'm featuring Luther Vandross.

I miss him so much. I will posting his biography on Thursday, along with a double mixtape of his slow songs. There's time to submit your favorites in the comments.

Luther Vandross was full of Aries chacteristics. A typical diva, I will have to dig a little to get some of the good stories. Of how he often threw shade to other divas. I'ma have some juicy tidbits LOL

But in listening to all of these Luther songs (that I own), I reveled in the fact that Luther sang about all kinds of love. Secret, repentant, hopeful, expectant and romantic. The strength and conviction in his voice when he sang "Wait For Love" convinced me to do just that.

Enjoy the music of an Aries Man close to my heart. I'll always miss you Luther!

Bio below the break


At the age of 25, he was one of the most sought after producers in America. James Ingram, The Winans, Bobby Brown, Today, Boy George, Wrecks’N’Effect, Fine Young Cannibals, New Kids On The Block and even Jacko… The box office jet set was litteraly running after his talent at the time, the way those billionaires come to Sothesby’s in London to pick up some famous painter’s work.
Name : RILEY
First name : EDWARD THEODORE aka TEDDY
Date of Birth : 10/08/1967
Place Of Birth : Harlem, NY
Particular signs : inventor of the New Jack Swing



Would the things ever be what they are without this man’s precious contribution ? Dis I can’t tell, although his numerous works have no doubt influenced a new generation of artists and producers while redefining a genre on its whole – the R&B – the way Jazzie B of the Soul II Soul fame would do in UK when giving birth to the so called Brit soul.
When I came to meet him and his current pals (Aaron & Damion Hall altogether know as Guy) in September 1991 at this London concert hall formerly know as the Hammersmith Odeon. Riley had already spent more than half of his life making music. From his very first jams with local Harlem bands such as Kids At Work and Total Climax and his debut as a producer for Doug E. Fresh and Classical 2 to a whole bunch of killer grooves for people such as Johnny Kemp, Keith Sweat, Bobby Brown, Starpoint, Wrecks’N’Effect and the list goes on, not to mention his contribution on Michael Jackson’s Dangerous album which would sell more than 15 million copies ! No doubt, Teddy had already have many ups at the time but also downs in the meantime like his divorce with his godfather and former manager Gene Griffin, the splitting of Guy two years later and the arrival of a whole bunch of imitators which would try to recapture the essence of his sound.
What makes Riley’s work so fundamental is the fact that he litteraly revolutionnized the approach of making music at a period where the funk had almost lost its essence. There was a need for a brand new shuffle which was to be brought by production teams such as Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis (Alexander O’Neal, Cherelle, Janet Jackson), Antonio L.A. Reid & Kenneth Edmunds Babyface (Bobby Brown, Karyn White, The Mac Band, Whitney Houston), and Denzil Foster & Thomas McElroy (Timex Social Club, En Vogue, Tony! Toni! Toné!). Not to mention our man who would happen to be associated with Gene Griffin (his godfather) for some time.

Funk was nearly dead at the time potentially speaking as was the so called rhythm & blues, synonymous with old fashionned made music an dit was obviously the time for a new generic name to come out of the hat and this is how R&B saw the light. Therafter, what we was able to read on Spotlight as special issue made by the likes of Billboard Magazine as a commemoration to the month of US Black Music in June 1991 : R&B = soul + funk + hip hop, as written by columnist Janine McAdams who was mentionning the tendancy to a new traditionnalism within the production with the reintroduction of live elements and strong lyrics, the return of true singers avec well as those influences inherited from soul, funk and eventually jazz. All of that, not only on the so called R&B, but also on the hip hop production. In addiction to this, let’s not forget, the beginning of the acceptance of the Black community mediawise with the heavy success of actor/rapper Fresh Prince on the Fresh Prince Of Bel Air sitcom on NBC. But also the recognition of the Black cinema with films such as Spike Lee’s Jungle Fever or Do The Right Thing, Mario Van Peebles’ New Jack City and ‘s Boyz In The Hood to name but a few ; all of them delivered with appropriate soundtracks giving an extra exposure to the music makers.

As for the definition of New Jack Swing, Guy member Damion Hall said to me : New Jack Swing is a new sound made by the blending of elements taken from rap, funk, gospel, rock, classic music, rhythm & blues, jazz and hip hop. This concept is unique. You may find pop or jazz on the so called swingbeat but you’ll never see this so particular cocktail anywhere else but on Teddy’s music.
That… guy had something for sure since his earliest days, but dealing with music is a thing meanwhile doing the same with the ‘papers’ is a far different one which would lead Teddy to accept the protection of Gene Griffin who happened to be his godfather. Gene deserves respect at least for one thing, said Hall. He’s taken care of the business side of the things for us, but he also has managed to have of full control on us once he had our signatures. He’s taken advantage on Teddy’s Kindness to put his name on everything that Teddy was doing. Gene wasn’t a writer, nor was he an arranger. Bobby Brown’s ’My Prerogative’, that was Teddy and Aaron’s work. Same thing for the Jacksons’ ‘She’ song as well as for Guy’s first album with the addiction of Timmy Gattling. Gene’s never got anything to do with this apart from acting as a sort of executive producer. As for the rest, he acted like an impostor !

Approaching Teddy Riley and observing him either while rehearsing or live on stage with the brothers Hall and later on with BLACKstreet happened to be quite informative as far as what the man was made of. Not to mention this face to face chat that we had right after one of his London concerts.
That man, although being only 24 at the time, was litteraly obsessed by his art, in search for new combinations which would come up out of the impressive material which was surrounding him at every moment of his life. One could see the determined look of a virtuoso on his eyes as well as a true receptivity as far as what the closest members of his crew were relating him. I’m working on some new sound/techniques with Heavy D & The Boyz that I’ve tested on the cover version of ’Now That We Found Love’ and ‘Is It Good To You’, he explained to me. Now that I’ve left NYC to live in Virginia, I find it a bit easier.

Regarding Michael Jackson’s album that he co-produced, he said : I’ve spent a lot of time making sure that what we’ve done in common would be different from whatever I’ve done in the past. Dropping an ultimate confidence, he added : I don’t like that digital sound used by almost everyone right now. To me, it’s too polished. I’d rather go for the analogic textures and develop them in order to get some more punch on my music, as notoriously shown a little bit later on within his new venture with Chauncey Hannibal, Dave Hollister and Levi Little under the BLACKstreet guise and the memorable ‘No Diggity’.
Quite some time though without hearing from a man who influenced so many reputed producers today from Sean ‘Puffy Combs’ to Rodney Jerkins (who stood as his spiritual son), Timbaland and many others.

Monday Mixtape : DJ Diva's Birthday Disco Classics

Hey Everybody!!! It's time for the Monday Mixtape!

It's MARCH!!! That means it's my birthday month! This Month I'm turning the big 3-5!

My musical lifespan includes 4 decades of music starting with the 70's. I'm proud to be a 70's baby LOL.

So we starting the month off with some of my disco favorites. My parents were hustle fanatics and my father was the Dominican Hustle King of 135th and Broadway! That me with my disco daddy! In the seventies and the early part of the eighties...everybody did the hustle...and if you weren't fly with it? I've been told they quickly shut you down on the dance floor! I still do the hustle. My cousin C and I usually end up doing it at family functions, to the delight of our younger generation who weren't as fortunate as we were to see it up close by Pros. I didn't include Van McCoy's "Do The Hustle" in the mixtape ....but I have a video to show you what it was like if you don't know!!!



I'm gonna follow it up with the REMIX on Thursday so if you don't hear your favorite...don't be discouraged! I hope you all enjoy it and don't forget to give me some birthday love this month!

Monday Mixtape : Obama Old School 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!

Obama OldSchool Mix

Monday Mixtape : Diddy Makes You Dance Vol.1

Hey Everybody!

It's time for Mixtape Mondays!!!!!

This week I decided to do a mix of Diddy inspired music. There wasn't a night that I was in the clubs that I didn't hear a Puffy track. So I put some of my favorites together for this week's mixtape "Diddy Makes You Dance Vol.1"

I hope he doesn't pull a "bitchass-ness" move and have me shut down like he did "A Hot Mess" last week! That was really a hot mess! So to avoid that, I didn't put the the track listing on this post. If he wants to know what's on it, he better have someone from his team listen to it!

You wanna dance? I'ma make you dance!

Enjoy!

The JayMoney Prince Workout Mix

What had happened was...

I been spending a lot of time over at Twitter. I chat with some of the best in the podcasting world : EJ Flavors, Fave, Todd Kelley, Mr. Fresh, Darren Keith and Honey Soul. That's not in any particular order but they are all at the top of their game. EJ being my mentor. By mentor I mean he had no problem reaching out to me and sending me tips and help. These guys have been giving me shoutouts and props in their awesome podcasts and I'm just as humbled as can be! I've met and reconnected with many people like Amneris and RPM. One of my newer folks is JayMoney. He's a techie and does live shows which could provide great knowledge. The Prince workout started out like this:

JayMoney- @dj_diva I think someone..hint hint should produce a mixed tap just for workouts, like so many mins of speed then slow down then speed..lol 04:49 PM January 16, 2008 from web in reply to dj_diva

Anyon who knows me knows that I am the biggest Prince fan on the earth.

Disclaimer:
I own all of these songs and more so Prince bet not step to me!

Well I have been wanting to start podcasting for mad long. I have been posting mixtapes in the form of short lived radio blogs and extensive playlists. Lately I have taken the route of Imeem Playlists...and those are cool. But my wonderful husband got us a new laptop because my old one died....and lo and behold I had enough space for DJ mixing software. The request was just what I needed to try it out for something worthwhile. Because you see...JayMoney said in exchange he would give me a new layout. I think you all would agree I need one. That's why I love Twitter...you can connect with so many different people. Trade is a beautiful thing peoples...

I'm a little rusty and I'm working some kinks out...I'm kinda tired so I didn't record an intro..not to mention Prince is hard as hell to mix because all of his songs begin very distinctively... but here because of the @JayMoney challenge...I present to you
