The Rude Boy Series

I wanted to drop this one as I am starting a new career with Edward Jones Investments. I will be on hiatus for a couple months studying for the Series 7 and 66 exams. However, I plan to come back strong. I hope you can enjoy this riding in your vehicle, relaxing or partying with good friends. As for the mix, it starts with a powerful female vocal. She tells the story of "Time Marching On" and in my humble opinion, the time that Jesus returns, "like a thief in the night". From there we go to to a fine house track, "Just Come By" featuring the French duo, Les Nubians. Then a hot one from the Jellybean camp that I enjoy every spin, "Shady Clouds". A lot more heat in between, including European and Latin influences. Then I finish up with one of my all time favorite artists, and a strong remix of "Sugar" by Roy Ayers. The end tune is a rare gem, "Planets of Life" by The Whispers. In my humble opinion, a classic soul heater! I am a SCORPIO!

New house with old school nuances. Many hot beats and soulful vocals. Especially love hearing Evelyn "Champagne" King on a new track. She reintroduces herself on the second track, "One More Time." From there I add a few songs that I consider to be gems. I love this mix and pray that you do as well! Those are my sons checking out President Obama in the photo. The first President they have known. Isn't that something? Look for a new R&B/Hip Hop mix soon. Thank you all for your support.

Back to the basics, house where it all started for me. I have and always will love house music. Took me a while to make this mix considering a new job and three little ones. I must thank DJ Theo of San Francisco. There are couple of "interpolations" from him on my mix. The rest is simply me banging my heart out. For those of you that enjoy the Hip Hop/R&B format, I will add another "installment" to the Rude Boy Series soon. Just had to get this mix off my chest. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed making it.

Song selection is what makes a mix. If you pick the right songs, each tells a story. Your audience will know.

This mix is dedicated to my wife Danae'. Thus the beginning song, Woman. Shout out to all the DJ's out there with kids! It takes persistence to get it done with three. This is the first installment in the series in six years so enjoy.

I made this mix six years ago. However, it is relevant. Smooth mixing, hot beats and excellent music.

Much love,

Rueben
