In the Key of Blue presented by DJ FerbiddenEpisode 015: DJ’s Choice Vol. #4. – Better than DopeMan, I do love a good double entendre! If you are of a certain age and grew up in the 80s and 90s, you will not want to let this mix go—there are a few party mainstays and car jams. I can’t stop nodding my head to this one.

In the Key of Blue presented by DJ FerbiddenEpisode 012: Twerk Team Vol. #1. – LeftLet me know if you are Team Left or Team Right. I don’t think there is a wrong answer as long as you move. And no, Miley did not invent Twerking; sorry to disappoint you. I am pretty sure some of you will debate the song selections. Personally, if you are into classics, your vote will probably be for Team Left. Either way, I would start with the left and shift to the right.

The vibe is strong, chill, and seductive. I hope you discover a new artist and enjoy familiar favorites as we take an exhilarating sonic journey of sound. From chart-toppers to hidden gems, a few I think will be hit later this summer. I held back a couple of hits to feature in a future edition-don’t worry; I didn’t forget about Tems. It’s hot, and I am in the Lab co...

In the Key of Blue presented by DJ FerbiddenEpisode 004: Hip-Hop Vol. #2. – Magic Makers: The NeptunesPharrell Williams and Chad Hugo AKA The Neptunes need no introduction. This producing duo has been making magic together since High School. To be completely honest, in doing research for this mix, I had no idea all the hits they created but once I strung them all together is quite apparent. Once you get into the mix, that unique Neptunes sound and instrumentation start to stand out, and its irresistible toe-tapping good! Listen to all the artists who shout them out in their lyrics. I am sure you will learn about one: too many artists, too many songs for one...

In the Key of Blue presented by DJ FerbiddenEpisode 002: DJ’s Choice Vol. #1. – 80’s R&B Teenage LoveWelcome to DJ’s Choice. In this series, I will explore must-have songs that I can’t live without. These cuts are essential songs to have in your music collection. Although the first song is long, this mix is short and to the point; I didn’t want to add pieces and unnecessarily mess up the flow to make it a certain length. Inspired by the groups that came up in the New Edition era, these were the must-play cuts of any inner-city dance or house party. These songs are cherished and remain popular today. Let’s take a journey...

In the Key of Blue presented by DJ FerbiddenEpisode 001: Hip-Hop Vol. #1. - Southern ComfortWell, you have to start somewhere, and this is where I landed—no rhyme or reason. Sometimes you have to stop seeking perfection and make a leap of faith. I thought it was fitting for me to start where my DJ career began; in the South! Some of these songs take me back to my college days, while others are only a few months old. Sometimes you just have to mix it all up! We will make many other musical stops around the world. Please share, drop me a line, and let me know what you like and what yo...
