WutUpDoe? Just wanted to reminisce a lil bit of what I used to spin for Happy Hours from 6 pm until it was time to charge a cover for whatever club I was spinning back in the day, and I needed this type of music in my ride to vibe to when going outta town. My job back then was to keep folk at the bar, heads noddin' and a lil dancing in between. All I can say is the Bar Staff loved me. I hope you dig the vibes, and no worries, I"ll be releasing at least 5 more during the Summer til Fall. Let me know what you think in the comments, and if you'd like to hear me personally wherever you're located, just send me an email at djsmoove1967@gmail.com, and let's work it out. Peace!The artists: Camp Lo ft Faith Evans; SWV ft Missy Elliot; Monica; Nicole ft Timbaland & Missy Elliot; Young Buck; Snoop Dogg & Raphael Saadiq; Aaliyah; Mary J Blige ft Lil Kim; Brandy ft Queen Latifah, Yo-Yo & MC Lyte; Usher ft.

WutUpDoe? Back in the day when I dj'd at a club in a strip mall on the Eastside named The Lobby, on Saturday afternoons, we'd have jazz by an artist named Bobby Floyd and his Trio. My responsibility once I arrived around 6 pm was to keep the audience from leaving until around 9:30 pm or so until the regular crowd would come through to party with us, thus this lil mix. Shout out to my folk in Flint, Detroit, and Grand Rapids, Michigan who loved to hand dance to music like this!I like taking chances, so I always wanted to mix Mac Miller with T.S. Monk to hear in my ride, but I hope you all enjoy what you hear. If you know of a venue you'd like to hear me play live in Bi-Weekly or whatever, feel free to share and I hope this sounds good on all your favorite devices. I can't wait to get in the car with this one. Peace. The Artists in order:Lorenzo Owens, Michael Jackson, Kook & The Gang, The Crusaders ft Randy Crawford, Koffee Brown, Stevie Wonder, Anderson.Paak ft.

I love Twitter and sometimes out of the blue, someone asks for a mix, so why not. I love musical challenges. Just trying to prove to myself that I could be an opener which is what I would prefer in this genre, so I can dance the rest of the day/night away. This is also my perfect example of mixing in key before there were even programs designed for DJs. I don't know how I do it, it just happens from time to time. This mix ain't for everybody, but I can't wait to drive my car to this soundtrack late at night. Peace.  The Artists in order: Yukihiro Fukutomi; Gabriele Poso; Rafael Drager, Elias Kazais; Jazzanova; Klaus, Enoo Napa; Robbie Akbal, Ay Sarita, Zakir; Barbatuques, Pablo Fierro; Thee Suka, Drumetic Boyz; Osunlade

Have you ever cried while making a mix? I had to remaster this one since I was too close to the edge like Icuras. Well, this mix did it to me this afternoon. It's been a long time getting to this point after being introduced to, learning, researching, purchasing, and practicing other genres like this but finally, at the beautiful age of 55, I think it's been worth the experience after all these years. This mix ain't for everyone, but I think those already familiar with the vibes, will hopefully enjoy it. As always, to those who've been with me on this musical journey since the MySpace Days, I appreciate you. If you dig what you hear, feel free to share with likeminded musical individuals and even those who may not be hip as my motto has been all these years: Open Your Mind To Music You May Not Be Familiar With. Peace. (I think this mix came out perfect)The Artists: G Family; Luka, Sio, Enoo Napa; Jabzz Dimitri, Tabia; Boddhi Satva; Moon Rocket & MoBlack; MIGOSY; Glass Slipper, Atjazz; Armonica ft Toshi; WARM, Amour Propre, Enoo Napa, Idd Aziz; dj Kabila; Adam Port, M.E. & Rampa. 

Welp, as promised, here's Volume 20 of the Sexy & Soulful series. I'm ready to get back to Soulful & Afro House throughout the rest of this year especially to get ready in August when I travel to be with my new House Music family in D.C. & Hyattsville, Maryland. Concentrating more on the sound of mixes since this is number 20, I should be comfortable with whatever I pick during a live set. Hope you enjoy what you hear, and below are the vocal artists featured. I hope you dig the effect I decided to use on the Teena Marie remix fa sho! Practice, Practice, Practice. Portia Monique; Tony Momrelle; Jesse Powell; J.A.E.; dj Chujo ft Brandon Yancey; Tortured Soul; Sir Soundbender ft The Beat-Trayers; Halo ft Maiya; The Layabouts ft. Omar; Teena Marie; Melba Moore; Earth, Wind & Fire. 

Welp, I first want to thank everyone who has stuck with me since I began this series back in 08', I really appreciate you all listening in, sharing the mixes, and keeping me going on this Good Music Movement that started after I was tired of playing mainstream. This mix was a doozy, but here we are! (Live drums are hard to mix to) Next up for the rest of the year will be my new series based on joints I used to play in the club back in the day before it got rowdy after 11:30 pm. It's a Happy Hour series of R&B cuts you're familiar with, B-Sides, and of course Remixes, you couldn't get anywhere else but visiting the club right after work on a Thursday (Ladies' Night), Friday, and Saturday night too. Soulful and Afro-House music will also be uploaded since Chocolate Soul is gearing up for another run in D.C. Maryland (Hyattsville as well), for the House on the Waterfront Weekender in Mid-August 11th-13th. Hope to see you there!I hope you enjoy what you hear, and if you would like to book Chocolate Soul to perform, just hit me up at djsmoove1967@gmail.com or text at 614 949 4632 and we'll make it happen. Here are the artists/producers who made this mix possible: Had to start off with Moonchild since they are coming in April!; Kadeem Tyrell; Olu; Debra Bond (Tall Black Guy remix); Zo! & Tall Black Guy ft Darien Brockington, Muhsinah, & Phonte; Common & Tom Misch; Maverick Soul; Phife Dawg ft.

Welp, as promised, here's a new mix! Sorry it takes so long, but I can't find many artists that make music like this consistently as in the past, but I'm always up for suggestions to research!This mix is co-curated by my good friend & painting artist down in the Natti Ms. Ryan Nicole Leary (Look up her work on the ol Book of Faces for her work lol) Anywho, hope you dig what you hear, and can someone suggest a Brotha to DJ for City Winery?  #GoodMusicLivesHere are the Artists for this mix in order: Potatohead People ft.

Welp, since Mixcloud deleted all of my older mixes going back as far as 2009, might as well reupload them here for those who never heard them, or always wanted a download. This mix was made before my first trip to Naptown to perform for my crew New Day Entertainment Group right after I was tired of mainstream and couldn't get a $50 raise so I could spin for $325 a night. Who knew there was life after the club scene? Glad they heard me on MySpace and gave me a chance to work on "Good Music", thus the term Good Music Lives was born. Enjoy!

Remember, I was a Club Dj in the beginning. We gonna get back to that for a hot minute. Cool?

As promised, here's another Sounds of Sigma mix. If you love grooves to drive to like me, this one's for you. I have no idea what to do for a Vol. 3 yet, so we'll see sometime next year in 2023. Can you name all of the Artists?  If you dig what you hear, download it for free, share it with those who may as well, and play it in your car baby!Leave a comment and let me know what you think of the latest mix. Until next time, Peace kids (And be on the look out for the next 2-Step Delights Mix pt. 4 dropping very soon!)

WutUpDoe... Some of you may recognize the artwork and title of this mix from 3-4 years ago, but I decided that the first volume was not up to standard. This is the 2nd take where I should have taken my time rather than just record while I was mixing live at my first car show gig for The Royale Cigar Lounge in Columbus, Ohio at that time. This is dedicated to a friend that found me online many years ago through MySpace and that has taken the time to teach me about so much music I probably never would have heard otherwise: Mr. Dorian Green aka Dino. Originally born in West Philly, but has resided in Flint, Michigan for decades that just about everyone knows one way or another through his kind acts of service, as a radio dj in his younger years, or making and supporting musical acts of all genres. I just wanted to show my appreciation using what I love to do when I have time to do it. This is 1 of 3 Volumes I hope to finish by the Summer of 2023, but also I can't wait to visit his crazy ass before this year is out LOL. Once again, I'd like to take time to thank those for tuning in since 2009, and I hope you dig what you hear. Feel free to download, share, and play for whoever may dig these Vibes. I thoroughly enjoyed making this first Volume. Peace. The Artists in order as mixed: M.F.S.B. ; David Morales ft Michelle Perera, The Jones Girls, S.E.L. & Teddy Douglas; Lou Rawls; The O'Jays;  Teddy Pendergrass; First Choice; M.F.S.B.;  Double Exposure; Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes; M.F.S.B. :-)

We've known each other since the MySpace days in 2008 and have kept in contact since. This will be our 2nd collab together after all these years, and we hope you enjoy the danceable vibes! https://www.mixcloud.com/TeeOn2/LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Just felt a lil nostalgic the other night of how far I've come since my Mainstream Days up to 2009. Originally recorded back in August of 2008, I'd mix music like this during happy hour while I was figuring out my next steps for the future. I used to just record a mix directly to a Sony recordable CD Player. Who remembers that??!! You might hear a few tunes I've used since Vol. 5, but my favorite transition was a track I got by V ft. JIll Scott named Born Again. (Shout out to the MySpace Days!) Enjoy and stay tuned for Memorial Day Weekend!!! 

While I happen to be on Twitter, a post was retweeted by a DEfected DJ for their Unsung Heroes dj competition where the winners would be able to perform as the opening set DJ for 4 events including Ibiza and London. Thought I'd check my skill level and give it a try. The minimum length of the mixes was only 60 minutes, but I've always wanted to make a 2-3 hour or more mix. What kept me from doing so is the Mixing/Mastering process using my old Tascam Digital Multi-Track Audio Recorder from 2009 because it was so frustrating to get the mix to the right level vs using a Recordable CD Recorder (Thus always under 80 minutes)Took the chance and bought a new Tascam Multi-Track Audio Recorder a couple of weeks ago, and I'm still in the process of learning how to mixdown/master, but this came out pretty good after doing some research and buying a program to help convert it from WAV to MP3 which PodOmatic seems to only prefer. Oh well, we'll see what happens in a couple of weeks, but my purpose in creating the mix was to get more exposure, show where I reside that I could open up for an artist that comes to town in this genre, and also dedicate the set to my friend Brian who attended the Black Coffee concert in Columbus, Ohio last year at the last minute. Hope you dig what you hear, 27 tracks in all, and about 3 hours of quality music. Peace. 

No goals can be achieved without action. Here's the latest Soulful House Mix.

Once again, thank you for tuning in all these years, for I appreciate each and every one of you that take the time to listen and spread the good word. Seems like more and more local djs are willing to incorporate House Music in their sets, and maybe one day we can convince our local radio stations to let us spin on Sundays & Holiday Weekends. (Looking at you Magic 95.5!) September 2019 marks an entire year of spinning at The Royale Cigar Lounge, where I love to spin Lounge and Soulful House music on Friday nights. I hope a mix such as this encourages more people to accept this type of vibe in the coming years in Columbus, Ohio. If you dig the mix, stay tuned for more in the very near future, and feel free to leave a comment. Peace!

Well, here's another mix that I've been sitting on for quite some time. When I think of all the other types of music that come from countries south of the equator, they all have one thing in common: The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. No matter what the style of the music is considered today, they all originated in the Motherland. If you're fortunate to travel to these countries, take the time to take in the music culture. I can't wait to get to Cuba personally. Peace and I hope you enjoy what you hear.

For close to 12 years since my "partner in crime" dj Vibe introduced me to The Rurals (Hello Nina lol) and a French dj named Cam, I've been on a mission to expose the residents of where I reside (Columbus, Ohio) to the sexier side of Lounge; Nu~Soul; Soulful House; and most recently Afro House music. I've been fortunate to spin at an Upscale Cigar Lounge for the last 6 months, and I think the above styles of music fit the venue perfectly. I just hope I can continue to spin through the Summer. This mix is an example of the style I would play early on in my set or during a day party, but you just might enjoy this mix during a ride out of town. Can't wait to visit the studio in Detroit soon! I hope you dig what you hear, and let me know in the comments. #GoodMusicLives (1)"Just Like Love" ~ Chieko Kinbara, Josh Milan; (2)"Zvinosiririsa" ~ Mzee; (3)"Upright Love" ~ E.O.L.

Hello again, and thanks for tuning in. I recorded this at the Cigar Lounge, and was getting into it by the end. Man I wanted to spin til 2am. I love Soulful House Music. Beautiful music arrangements, positive lyrics, and positive vibes. How can you not enjoy music like this? Can't wait to play in this in my ride.

Another mix from the mind of Dino... As I get older, I reminisce on the music my Aunts and Uncles would introduce me to when I spent time with them over the summers. My Uncle Alvin and Aunt Joanne in Baton Rouge, Lousiana, Aunt Rita and Uncle James in Flint, Michigan. I would sit in Aunt Gloria's car and act like I was driving with just the ignition switched on and jammin to her 8-Track collections. There were times we'd babysit ourselves while they went out, and my cousins and I would raid through their records. Miss those days... Anywho, I also wish I had access to music like this as a teenager, and after serving in the Army. Radio Stations are so limited based on where you live and if only at least for a Sunday (weekly) go back and teach folk all the music they may have never heard... Thanks Joey. I'll keep researching as long as I have a heartbeat. Hope you dig the mix.

You ever sleep so well, the next morning you want to record a mix? It happens. Since late September of 2018, I've been spinning at this upscale Cigar Lounge in Columbus, Ohio and for the longest, I've wanted to spin my version of Lounge Music.

Welcome to the first mix in a series dedicated to The Philly Soul Sound introduced to the world by the Legendary Music Icons: Gamble & Huff. Curated by the one and only @blakfire40 (Dorian "Dino" Green) and mixed by yours truly. This was one tough mix being that most of these tracks are not quantized, but it was worth the struggle. Over the years we searched for outside of the ordinary re-edits and remixes from elite producers and djs such as Tom Moulton, Joey Negro, John Morales, Dimitri From Paris, and most recently from France: The Reflex. More goodness to come as my man Dino is always searching for the tunes that represent his hometown of Philadelphia. Feel free to spread the goodness, and as always: Good Music Lives. Peace.
