DJ Mark Marcelo:The After-Party 90s Bedroom Jams

Feeling grown and sexy? Need a mix that sets the mood? Or maybe you just need a reminder of how freaky everyone was back in the day. Then check out “The After-Party 90s Bedroom Jams” mixed by DJ Mark Marcelo. It was made just for you! You’ll hear throwback R&B (as well as a few rap cuts) from artists like Janet Jackson, Jodeci, Case, Usher, Notorious B.I.G., Toni Braxton, Adina Howard, Silk, Mya, Color Me Badd, R Kelly, just to name a few. On top of the incredible musical line-up, the transition of each song runs smooth to avoid any, um, awkward silences.

No lie, I was snapping my fingers, dancing, thinking I was too cute while listening to this. “You remind me of my jeep”- haha, oh so 90s. Don’t get in trouble tonight ladies and gentleman, this is definitely one of those late night mixes.

I got a copy of DJ Mark Marcelo’s latest mix, Scrunchies & Headbands, today and I popped it in my cd player as soon as I got it and I love it! The mix, which is appropriately named, is a slew of your favorite 90s R&B songs with everything from SWV, TLC, Mary J. Blige, En Vogue, Aaliyah, Jade and many many more greats. DJ Mark Marcelo says it’s “a tribute mix to mid-90s R&B. Some call this era nineties new-wave R&B – when girl groups slowed down new jack swing with a more sassy and empowered sexual attitude.”

He originally made the mix for some lady friends but it became so popular that he’s decided to share. I’m so glad! I found myself singing along to most of the songs with the occasional squeal of joy when you hear a song that you haven’t heard in forever but that you love so much. It’s even hard for me to sit still as I write this and listen to the mix. The Scrunchies & Headbands mix takes me back to a time of crushes and school dances, to overalls (one shoulder hooked of course) and Tims. It makes me want to dance around my apartment. It’s that good – and the interns agree. We listened to it a few times today and they all want copies. You can get yours here – it’s definitely worth the $8. If you’re skeptical, you can download a 20 minute preview – once you hear it, you’ll get sucked in and buy it for sure.

The official release parties for the Scrunchies & Headbands mix are going down this week:

San Diego – July 10th at U-31 in North Park.

San Francisco – July 11th at Azul.
