In the Key of Blue presented by DJ Ferbidden

You are not ready for this banger. Seriously, if you don’t understand this mix, we can’t be friends! Okay, I am being a little dramatic. This mix defines the art of a “DJ Drop.”  A fast pace, slow burn with a great payoff toward the end. You may not like all the songs, but there is something in this mix for you, I promise. Some classics you would expect to hear with, what I believe, include exciting twists and turns, dropp...

Welcome to Team Right. On this mix, you will be reminded of some classics and introduced to other songs that I believe will become classics for the next generation of Twerkers! Check back, listen in a few years, and let me know if I got this mix right or wrong. Should there be more mixes in this series? I think you know those mixes will be called “Up” and “Down” if I do. Enjoy your workout! Drop me a line at podcast@djferb...

Let 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. Please subscribe, share, rate, and leave me some ...

The long overdue sequel to “Fela’s Legacy,” I present to you “Summer Sizzle ‘23.” In a year, the genre has exploded to create some of the hottest artists and remixes heard worldwide. 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 b...

Fela Kuti's legacy of Afrobeat lives on with this new generation of artists, including Burna Boy, Teni, Rema, and Skiibii, who are taking the world by storm. We are hearing more Afrobeat on R&B radio stations across the country daily. I love the textures and chill vibe that this sound brings. This is my first AfroBeat Mix. Let me know what you think. Hit me up anytime at podcast@djferbidden.com. Shoutout to all my exte...

Welcome to the second mix in this series. Volume 2 is a very chill R&B mix to set the vibe you want on a low-key night. This mix has a little of everything; a couple of classics and a few songs that didn’t get a lot of mainstream airplay. There is one transition in this mix that gets me excited. I hope you feel the same way when you hear it. Please subscribe, share, rate, and leave me some feedback! How am I doing? Hit...

Pharrell 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! L...

Some of the artists you will hear in this episode: Dazz Band, Ready for the World, Michael Jackson, Gap...

Welcome 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...

Well, 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. ...
