Our latest Club Fusion entry spans a wide range of music, catching up on what we missed in January and February and previewing what's to come on dance floors in the next few weeks. There's plenty to talk about so let's dive in! John Summit returns with "Shiver," the follow-up to his massive 2023 hit "Where Are You Now," featuring another outstanding vocal performance by Hayla. While this track is a solid floor-filler, it may lean a bit too closely to the magic of its predecessor. However, that won't deter anyone from enjoying its deep atmosphere and haunting vocals. Summit also offers an exceptional update to Temper Trap's "Sweet Disposition," a song that never tires in its various versions. In fact, "Sweet Disposition" is on track to rival Underworld's "Born Slippy" as a DJ favorite for revitalization. Summit's take maintains the original's integrity while adding his unique flair to the track. Both releases are essential for any DJ set. Among the tracks we're excited about is Becky Hill's latest single, "Never Be Alone," from her forthcoming album. The D.O.D remix cleverly incorporates the bass synth riff from Armand Van Helden's 90s remix of "Spin Spin Sugar" by Sneaker Pimps, elevating an already stellar track on the dance floor. Ariana Grande and Dua Lipa also contribute new offerings. Ariana's "Yes, and?" has been stuck in our heads like glue, echoing Madonna's iconic "Vogue" and inspiring numerous mashups. Felix Jahen's version stays true to the original while giving it a contemporary lift. We eagerly anticipate Grande's next album. Dua Lipa's third album seems to explore similar themes as her groundbreaking "Future Nostalgia." Personally, I would have chosen "Training Season" over "Houdini" as the lead single (excluding "Dance the Night Away" from the "Barbie" soundtrack). The songs don't fall flat, but they lack the captivating edge of her previous work. Nevertheless, the remixes manage to elevate them for the dance floor, keeping Lipa relevant in the house music scene. It's time to spotlight emerging DJs you should be following, starting with AVALAN ROKSTON. Currently in Beatport's Top 10 with their remake of Moby's "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?" they've also released "Faith," a song teased on TikTok for over a month that truly lives up to the hype. The emotional depth of "Faith" is undeniable, especially when the euphoria hits. Their remix of London Grammar's "Strong" from 2023, though new to us, is so impressive it deserves recognition among the top dance songs of last year and has been included here despite ...

This set is bursting with the hottest dance club tracks guaranteed to keep you moving all night long. We scour the internet to find the bangers that are taking clubs and festivals by storm, so you don't have to. Fresh Takes on Classics We kick things off with a modern twist on the early-millennium Progressive House classic "Touch Me" by Rui Da Silva and Cassandra, which the original was just featured on our BackSpin 2024 Volume 1 set. Switch Disco blends this iconic track with Drake's "Massive" for a mashup that's sure to get the crowd jumping. This trend of refreshing old favorites is strong, but trust us, nothing beats Cassandra's original vocals that add a touch of sultry urgency. Another standout mashup comes from DJs From Mars, who combine Ariana Grande's "We Can't Be Friends" with the Temper Trap classic "Sweet Disposition" This fusion perfectly complements the original Axwell remix, transforming it into a powerful big room anthem without losing its emotional core. New Releases with Anthem Potential Up next is Becky Hill's emotional powerhouse ballad "Outside Love" from her upcoming album "Never Be Alone" (dropping May 31st). The song delivers a deep and relatable message about heartbreak, further amplified by Hill's soulful vocals. While there are remixes available, Party Favorz recommends the extended original for its ability to evoke a powerful connection with the audience. We also have a killer rave remix in store for our next release – this song is that good! Rising Stars and Summer Smash Hits Ella Henderson and Rudimental join forces for "Alibi," a track that samples the iconic 90s hit "Gangsta Paradise" by Coolio. Joel Corry takes the remix helm, transforming the song into a hard-hitting 145 BPM dance floor anthem. Newcomer Artemas also makes a splash with the catchy "I Like the Way You Kiss Me." Despite some online rumors (we won't get into the details!), the song itself is undeniably catchy, especially with Oliver Helden's electrifying rave remix. This one's bound to be a summer smash. Keeping the party vibes flowing, we have a refreshed version of the 2002 classic "All the Things She Said" by t.A.T.u. Robin Schulz, Timmy Trumpet & KOPPY take this beloved song and turn it into a proper rave banger, seamlessly blending in with the previous tracks. Hidden Gems and Unexpected Remixes Don't miss the Martin Horger remix of Purple Disco Machine & ÁSDÍS's "Beat of My Heart." This remix injects a pulsating synth line, drawing inspiration from the Lil Louis House classic "French Kiss.

We kick off this sizzling set with the undeniable "Go Back" by John Summit and Sub Focus. This track has already set dancefloors ablaze, and its unique blend of Summit's signature house vibes with Sub Focus's explosive drum & bass switch-up guarantees it a lasting place in your summer playlist. While we love incorporating drum & bass into our mixes, it's a tricky genre to blend seamlessly due to its distinctive time signature. Trust us, a strictly D&B set can clear a dancefloor faster than the DJ can "read the room." After extensive experimentation, we found the perfect transition in Anyma and Chris Avantgarde's massive "Consciousness" from two years back. This track effortlessly bridges the gap between "Go Back" and Armin van Buuren's latest hit, "By Now," even though they aren't in compatible keys – sometimes, it just works! From there, we dive into the infectious energy of TELYKAST's "Free" and Avalan Rokston's "Paradise," two underrated gems that are destined to become summer anthems. We've also included two spring releases that initially flew under our radar, despite their immense popularity. Cloonee's "Sippin' Yak" received a must-have official remix by Morgan Seatree, and Mr. Belt and Wezol's garage-infused rework of Whitney Houston's "It's Not Right But It's Okay" finally caught our attention. While the original Thunderpuss remix remains iconic, Renyn and Schelander's energetic version sealed the deal for us. Jennifer Lopez, riding high on the success of her Netflix movie "Atlas" (highly recommended), also makes an appearance with Fisher's masterful house remix of her 1999 classic, "Waiting For Tonight." We've meticulously curated this set to deliver a Club Fusion experience – a mix of genres that keeps the party vibe fresh and exciting. We'll be taking a short break, but when we return, get ready for our June Pride celebrations! We'll be dropping "Gay Anthems for a New Generation" and "Pride Edition 2024" in the same week. Additionally, look out for our annual "Catch-Up" series, featuring the year's biggest hits so far, and the next installment of our beloved "Throwback" series. Until the next time...ENJOY! * No frogs were harmed in the making of the cover art. ^This episode was updated by tightening the transitions for the first quarter of the mix.

Unlike past efforts, we've decided to mix things up by offering alternate versions of some of the biggest dance songs, instead of the versions you're all familiar with. The aim is to create a party mix of your favorite songs, rather than sounding like our end-of-year Top Dance Songs. In cases where there aren't any alternate versions, we've stuck with the original. There's very little Afro House (a term we dislike) with only a couple of exceptions. So, don't expect the Rivo remix of "You and Me" by Disclosure. Instead, we chose the original Flume remix from 2023 when the song was first released. No one's come close to topping that stellar banger. The same goes for "Murder On the Dance Floor," which opens this set. Most remixes stick to the original Nu Disco version with a modern update. David Guetta flips the song into a proper banger, setting the stage for this release right from the start. As usual, we mix in some newer songs that are heating up dance floors because we don't want to wait until our Summer Heat release. Music tends to get backed up this time of year. Adding newer songs alongside earlier releases spices things up and keeps it interesting. I'll be dropping Volume 2 of this series shortly — so be on the lookout for that. Until the next time...ENJOY!

The creation of this mix was akin to pulling teeth. I've mentioned in previous episodes that the dance music scene is going through some challenges this year, and there just hasn't been a lot of standout material. I'll save all the gritty details for our end-of-year round-up. What I will say is that despite being distracted by other issues (as I mentioned in yesterday's post), I had more than enough songs to create this set. The problem was that two-thirds of the tracks just weren't hitting the mark. There's so much mediocre to outright garbage music out there at any given time, making it difficult to be satisfied with the final result. I would finish the mix, only to start eliminating and replacing songs over the course of three weeks. It wasn't until last week that a flood of really good tracks dropped, allowing me to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Then, yesterday, Pink Panda released a rework of the Martha Wash house classic "Catch the Light," transforming it into a supersonic, hyperactive powerhouse that just clicked. This track enabled me to rearrange some songs for a better overall flow of the set. Surprisingly, no one has jumped on this track yet, but they should. These powerhouse diva vocals are exactly what's missing in today's music, and there are flourishes of examples in this set. It seems that many DJs feel the same way and are starting to incorporate this style into their mixes, which excites us here at Party Favorz. Still, Summer Heat 2024 represents the absolute finest in Dance Club music at the moment, with a variety of genres represented throughout. If you missed our announcement yesterday, Party Favorz is once again fundraising to help cover our $300+ monthly costs. April's fundraiser lasted until early June, and since then, we've been covering expenses out of pocket. We really need small monthly donations, but we also welcome one-time contributions. All funds go directly into a dedicated account used specifically for our expenses. If you can help out, it would be greatly appreciated. We'll be back next week with the 2024 Summer Edition for the circuit boys. This is another area that's been lacking, but our good friend Mark from Dirty Disco just forwarded some upfront promos that aren't set for release until a later date, and they've completely blown us away. These tracks will be exclusive to Party Favorz. Until next time, ENJOY! There were two versions of this set with minor differences and the wrong one was initially uploaded. It's now been corrected. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Maybe it's because of the amount of time I had to go back and tweak a few things here and there or maybe I'm just a genius (NOT), whatever the reason, this is some of the best work I've done in a long while. Things start out House smooth before quickly building up into an all-out EDM party assault.  Just when your balls are sweating through your boxers, I slowing turn the notch down and slowly lower the needle with some of today's hottest house hits. It appears the EDM scene is in a transition and making the necessary adjustments in an over-saturated "same-sound" market, which is a good thing. My job is to dive in and pick the best elements of the current crop of tunes while trying to identify what I think the future is going to sound like. Elements can be found here and you'll no doubt be hearing more of those transitions throughout the year. That is, until we get bored and start all over again. I've got the Spring Edition up next for the circuit boys. Until then ... ENJOY! Album : Spring Break 2016Genre : EDM, Electro, Progressive, Deep HouseYear : 2016Total Time : 01:33:05 1.

Kicking it off with Justin Timberlake's out of the box early summer anthem Can't Stop This Feeling, this set continues to steamroll that fuzzy feeling forward one right after the other. I do inject a bit of a spanking with the uhh-mazing Cedric Gervais remix of Give Me Your Love but for the most part this set has S-U-M-M-E-R written all over it. Surprisingly, there haven't been near as many Prince bootlegs as I was expecting to pop-up but there's still time. However, one of my favorites, Erotic City with the fabulous Sheila E. (the infamous b-side of When Doves Cry that didn't make the Purple Rain album) gets a sweet update or more like a punch to the original by DJ Scotty Boy. Crank this fucker up and get into the funk swing of it. This song is as fresh now as when it was released and I promise, you will DIG IT! Honestly, I'm on a roll at the moment and if I remain in this fantastic mood (overcast, gloomy and all) through tomorrow, I may go ahead and share a little more love on the site. No promises, but ...ya never know. That's all I got for now. Until the next time (whenever that may be) ...ENJOY!

The 2016 Catch-Up hits all the high points in EDM and represents a significant change in direction from a genre standpoint. A good majority of the music coming out these days is at a much lower BPM with more house overtones. That's a good thing as it lends to more diversity at radio and especially the club. Party Favorz has culminated some of dance music's best for 2016 so far (whether they were intended for the dance floor or not) and presents them in one steady groove for your summer enjoyment. As we all know, June is the gayest time of the year around here. In keeping with tradition, I'll be posting some brand-spanking new Pride sets with epic circuit anthems from years past. I'm also working on what I like to call "gay anthems for a new generation" that's currently tickling my winky. Once finished, I can take the rest of June off and just schedule the release of these new episodes through the rest of the month. I'll give myself a pat on the back for my diligence. That's all I got for you folks today. I hope ya'll have a fantastic weekend and as always ...ENJOY!

It would be nice if we could get from post to post, week to week without some senseless shooting making headlines. My heart goes out to the families of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile as well as the Dallas police officers who were shot and killed while protecting the free-speech rights of folks protesting the shootings from poorly-trained, biased, and/or prejudiced law-enforcement officers. Last year, I moved to a suburb of Atlanta that's more diverse than any place I've ever lived. The community makeup consists of immigrants from Mexico and Central America, Blacks, Whites, Asians, and Muslims. These are my neighbors and the good folks I interact with daily. I use the same philosophy in my life that I instill for this website: Whether you’re gay, straight, black, white, pink, or purple, Party Favorz has no boundaries and everyone IS welcome here. I don't know how you teach folks to not hate others because of their skin color, gender, sexuality, or even religion because it starts at home and comes from within. Then again, my parents often employ this subtle "dog whistle" of racism from time to time, though they'll deny it because they don't recognize it. How I was able to escape that is beyond me but it likely had to do with leaving home right after high school and moving to Austin, then Dallas, and then Atlanta. I prefer large cities with a variety of cultures and experiences because it makes life much richer. Party Favorz was started during an election year when Obama and Clinton were neck and neck in the primaries. It was heated and contentious but ultimately, Obama won out. Now, we are at the cusp of a new presidential election where our only two (realistic) choices are Clinton (a truly dishonest and self-serving career politician) and Trump (a narcissistic, racist, misogynist, bottom-feeding POS who acts like a 12-year-old bully). While I want to change in this country and wouldn't vote against my self-interests by casting a vote for Trump, I'm happy to give Clinton four years to prove her worthiness and if not throw her ass out on the street if she can't produce. Sadly, working with a Congress that's comprised of representatives from heavily gerrymandered districts that in no way reflect the makeup of the constituency of the states has proven to be impossible. These are the pro-gun, anti-abortion, anti-gay, pro-religion nut-sacks that hold the country by its balls. If you want change, start at the local level, then state, and then national. Get involved, run for office, volunteer, and make your voice heard; most importantly,

Summer Slammers pt. 2 picks up where pt. 1 left off with several familiar radio-friendly electronic dance music hits and a whole bunch that will soon be. I'd sit here and go down the list but trolling Trump morning, noon, and night is a lot of work and I need to re-recharge batteries before his next idiotic outrageous statement. Seriously, the man has the vocabulary of a 5th grader and the mentality of a child in pre-school; though I wouldn't want to insult any pre-schoolers. Just think, we have two and a half more months of his no-nonsense blathering. If you haven't figured it out yet, there aren't enough racists (just watch the reels of footage from his rallies) in the country to put him over the top. So we're stuck with his psychobabble as the press continues to fan the flames by allowing his surrogates to go unchallenged on TV all in the name of ratings (CNN, I'm talking to you). The national media really are a bunch of whores but I digress. That's all I have for now. I may very well be back tomorrow with what you were expecting; or maybe not. Hmm... ENJOY!

The Fall 2016 EDM Sessions completes that trifecta ensuring you have more than enough to fuel the next couple weeks of your leisure time. That being said, let's get right into it. We kick things off with a couple of new remixes for earlier hits. Flume's Never Be Like You was a slow burner through the summer but most of that was due to very poor official remixes on its initial release. Once the bootleggers got on board, great remixes began to appear. I've been all over Ariana's Into You since its release, though I don't think this did as well at radio as it probably should have but I love it just the same. Lady GaGa's Perfect Illusion is what held up the post this morning. To be honest, I don't think this song is a strong candidate for an initial release off of her forthcoming album. I just can't get into the original version as there's nothing there to reel me in. The early mixes fare better and at least provide some muscle behind the track. Regardless, I think this song will struggle to make it into the Billboard Top 10 and will likely sink fast if it's that lucky. I am not a GaGa hater but I'm keeping the faith that her album will be far better than this initial release. Barry Harris who is regularly featured in my Circuit sets has been doing some equally stellar remixes that perform better under the EDM genre. They are catchy, upbeat with the same pop sensibility he uses in all of his mixes but without that whole tribalistic feel. For that reason, I'll start including some of his stuff here instead of the Circuit sets. In this case, his take on the massive Closer by Chainsmokers and his brilliant upbeat version of This Girl by Kings vs. Cookin' on 3 Burners really shine within the confines of this set.  Personally, I think it's time the major labels start giving him a serious look because he's setting the gold standard for what electro-pop-dance should be. JES is back and in a BIG way. One of the queens of Trance and very well respected DJ in her own right, teams up with Tom Fall in what is certain to be her next number one Billboard club hit. Come Back could be considered exactly that. It's been several years since her number one remake of the Cure's Love Song, so we welcome her back into the clubs. I don't really follow artists and their ups and downs or disappearances, but it's apparent Craig David has been M.I.A. for some time now. Well folks, he's back with the Sigala produced Ain't Giving Up and his vocals are as pure as ever,

Fortunately, I was able to get it cut down to two very concise sets featuring the biggest dance hits of the holiday season and some that will soon be. I managed to get a free month from Blubrry, my new home for delivering the finest dance music podcast on the planet! That does not mean I still don't need the help, because I'm always in need of financial assitance for Party Favorz. In the interim, relish pt. 1 of the 2016 Jingle Electric. Pt. 2 will be up shortly.

So much so, they're pretty much radio edits. This is a trend that started several years ago with Jump Smokers and their shelved remix album for Mariah. This is likely at the behest of the major labels for whatever their reasons. It does make mixing a challenge, but it's something I've had to contend with previously, just not on this grand of a scale. Basically, I'm relying on my skills of editing the mixes together much like I did back in the day on two Nakamichi tape decks. I had gotten so damn good at it, folks thought the sets were one continuous mix; a testament to my skills. Nevertheless,  I may be a bit rusty but overall, I think these sets turned out quite nicely considering the vast BPM range of the songs I was dealing with. So pop on this current set of the Jingle Electric and be sure to let me know what you think! I'll be back next week with the HOT Santa's and circuit beats for the boys! Until then...ENJOY!

These are the biggest dance tracks that have defined the year for us. While music is inherently subjective, and everyone has their personal favourites, our focus has always been to highlight the most commercial, most popular dance tracks of the year. You may have noticed that we're gradually moving away from the EDM label and embracing the broader 'dance' genre. We understand that all music we feature here can be classified as 'electronic dance music', and we feel that the 'dance' genre is more representative of the wide variety of styles we share. The music world may constantly redefine genres to stay on trend, but at the end of the day, good club music transcends labels. We have made it easy for iTunes users to subscribe and stay updated with their preferred categories. We provide separate feeds for each category on the site, so you can subscribe to only those you like. This helps to keep your playlist organised and allows you to quickly find the music that suits your mood. Non-iTunes users can copy the address for each category and submit it to their preferred RSS reader on any device. We extend our deepest gratitude to our supporters who have helped Party Favorz continue in our mission to be the best dance music podcast. We would like to give a special shout-out to recent contributors, Gary B., Eric W., Alberto M., Anthony B., and Luis B. Your generous donations have been instrumental in our transition to a new service and have ensured our ability to continue bringing you the Top Dance Songs of 2016.

The year's dance hits - the Top Dance Songs of 2016 - saw a resurgence of '70s disco vibes, significantly shaped by the legendary Nile Rodgers. Aside from leading the celebrated '70s disco band Chic, Rodgers also shaped the '80s music scene by producing chart-topping hits for icons such as Madonna, Diana Ross, David Bowie, and Duran Duran. His current influence demonstrates that the sounds of yesteryears still resonate on today's dancefloors, proving the timeless adage that 'what's old becomes new again'. A definitive game-changer in 2015 was 'Lean On Me' by Major Lazer & DJ Snake. This sensational summer anthem, with its laid-back Reggaeton beat, carved a path for many of the chart-topping hits of 2016. As a result, the traditional 128 bpm dance track has made way for a slower average of 120 bpm, favoring radio-friendly beats over traditional dance floor rhythms. This shift necessitates adaptability from music creators who want to stay relevant. This trend is clearly mirrored in the four-part series of the Top Dance Songs of 2016, showcasing a transition towards slower, sultrier beats that harken back to the '70s Disco and '80s Dance eras. While commercialized Deep House remains a strong presence, the focus is on the downbeat, showcasing the cyclical nature of music trends. Undoubtedly, '90s-era house music will eventually make a comeback, but for now, it's all about the languid beats. Stay tuned for the third part of our journey through the Top Dance Songs of 2016, arriving tomorrow. Until then...ENJOY!

The year saw remarkable output from artists like Rihanna, Justin Bieber, and The Chainsmokers, each contributing distinctively to the dance music sphere. Rihanna's 'Anti' album was a resounding success, spawning several Top 10 tracks. The standout 'This Is What You Came For', a collaboration with Calvin Harris and co-written by Taylor Swift, is a dance floor hit and undoubtedly one of the Top Dance Songs of 2016. Justin Bieber, riding the wave of success from his 2015 'Purpose' album, solidified his presence in 2016's dance music scene. His collaborations with Major Lazer on 'Cold Water' and DJ Snake on 'Let Me Love You' not only topped charts but also contributed significantly to the list of Top Dance Songs of 2016. Despite his controversial image, Bieber's talent is undeniable, particularly when combined with industry-leading producers. However, the true dance music titans of 2016 were The Chainsmokers. Following their 2014 hit '#Selfie' and their debut album 'Bouquet' in 2015, their track 'Closer' with Halsey confirmed their status as EDM trendsetters with an attractive pop edge. As we move closer to the end of our countdown of 2016's biggest dance hits, I'd like to extend thanks to Gary B. for his generous donation.

It's that time of year that Party Favorz blows the roof off this 2016 motherfucker with our annual Blow Your Own Horn! This is the defacto epic dance party set to bring in your New Year. This year we lost David Bowie, Prince, George Michael and now Carrie Fisher a.k.a. Princess Leia. It almost feels like my youth has been suddenly ripped out from underneath me. After everyone said it would never happen, we elected an egotistical, self-serving, lying hypocritical, sexists prick to the highest office in the land. Ya'll said you wanted change; wait 'cause you're gonna get it. It's also been the year of Russia, Russia, Russia. No offense to the Russians that subscribe to this site (cause I know there is a shitload of you), but I don't want to see RT show up in my Google feed ANYMORE; I don't want to read about how Russia hacked into the DNC and floated all this crap to that douche Julian Assange from Wikileaks. One step out of that embassy (if they don't throw you out first) and your happy ass is going to land here in the US courtesy of the Swiss. Then there's some Russian fucktard hacking everyone's Google Analytics account (mine included) with some fucked up pro-Trump message. Not sure what that was about other than being an annoying prick. I can't even open up the New York Times, Washington Post or Washington Journal without some headline news about Russia. Here's the real news; Russia, we're just not that into you. So, I'll just let this all wash over me with a new year to look forward to. Then again, it'll likely be the same shit; just a different year LOL. Hey, I'll get off my soapbox because it's looking like an awesome day outside. Besides, I know we have several Trump supporters on here (including my parents) as most are good people. Equally, all the Russian folks that subscribe to Party Favorz, obviously have good taste so we welcome you! That being said, I want to give a shout-out to these awesome folks for their donations: David B. $50; Michael M. $10 and Charles B. $40. You guys ROCK! Party Favorz will be taking an extended break for as long as I can stand not mixing anything which usually lasts about 2 weeks before I give in to the urge to slap a couple of songs together LOL. I hope everyone has a healthy and happy New Year. I'll see ya'll sometime in the next. Until then...ENJOY!

There is so much fantastic electronic dance music coming out at the moment my computer is bursting at the seams. We're gonna kick your weekend off with the first straight-up club set of the year. The Winter Dance Sessions features some of the hottest club hits you're likely grooving to now as well as future hits you'll be digging into in a couple of months. I rounded this out with some underground hits that are making a lot of noise that gives everyone a taste of things to come for 2017. I did this set in one take and it was flawless on my first preview. Then more and more hot tracks kept coming out so I dropped in a couple of them and am rushing this out before I muck it up. The same thing with the Circuit set coming out tomorrow. I gotta stop while I'm ahead LOL. I'll be back tomorrow with the Winter Edition for the circuit boys. Until then...ENJOY!

Initially, it feels great to have a shorter winter and pretty much skip spring altogether but as things continue to heat up, we may be changing our tune when it becomes unbearably hot. For now, I've got the HOTTEST tunes for your beach party fun. Think of this set as the warm-up or pool party mix to tomorrow's latest Deep Edition. Trends in popular dance (formerly EDM) have steadily moved to slower beats with a more tropical feel to them. I can't see that lasting longer but there are some definite smokers in this set. Not to blather on too long, but looks like Party Favorz is on a trajectory to be salvaged for yet another year. Since my call to arms yesterday, we are at 53% of the goal. So please keep it up and help keep us as your one-stop shop for all things dance. Until tomorrow ...ENJOY!

I had to wade through 200+ songs for consideration when making this and it almost came out to two individual sets but the redundancy in the styles of music coming out these days suggested I keep it down to one and just pick what I thought were the best of the best. I had two ways I could have taken this: either full-throated powerhouse EDM anthems or the more laid-back reggae-flavored house that has been central to the current music landscape. Since the 2017 Catch-Up is dropping in early June, which features the biggest dance hits of the year so far, I went with the latter. I figured the Catch-Up can be a more upbeat party anthem set similar to the Blow Your Own Horn series I put out at the end of every year. With temps running in the low to mid 80s sooner than normal, it won't be long before we're hitting the 100+ degree mark. So let's get the 2017 summer season kicked off because it's going to be a scorcher. ENJOY! Rick and I are moving on the 12th so I'll drop the next DIVA series next week then take a week off and come back with the 2017 Gay Days set. It's not clear if I'll be able to squeeze in a Funky House set before the Catch-Up but we'll just have to see how time permits.

This year, dance floors across the world pulsated with tracks from seasoned artists as well as fresh faces, reflecting a myriad of styles and sounds. Among the Top Dance Songs of 2007, the charismatic collaboration of Todd Terry Allstars and Tara McDonald with "Get Down" (Warren Clarke Club Mix) kicked off the year with a stunning union of rhythmic beats and vivacious vocals. It was a dance anthem that set the pace for the tracks to come, marrying rhythm and energy in an electrifying combination. Alexander O'Neal's "Saturday Love" (Soulshaker Club Mix) and Charlean Dance's "Mr. DJ" (Moto Blanco Remix) sustained this tempo with their soulful deliveries, further reinforcing 2007 as a year of rhythmic indulgence. The Soulshaker Club Mix of O'Neal's song was particularly notable for its ingenious remix that refreshed a classic while maintaining its original allure. Roisin Murphy's "Overpowered" (Seamus Haji Remix) made a significant impact on the scene as well, integrating a distinct electronic vibe into the year's top dance tracks. The eclectic blend of soulful lyrics and pulsating beats made it a standout among the Top Dance Songs of 2007. Bliss Inc.'s collaboration with Carlotta Chadwick for "Faith" (7th Heaven Remix) marked a momentous return to uplifting, inspirational dance music. This track, along with Sean Biddle's "Get Up 'n' Dance" (Alex Romano Remix), encouraged listeners to find joy and motivation on the dance floor, reminding us of the transformative power of dance music. Perhaps one of the most unexpected gems among the Top Dance Songs of 2007 was "Sexual Healing" (Freemasons Club Mix) by Alibi vs. Rockefeller. This modern interpretation of a classic song showcased the versatility and adaptability of dance music, skillfully incorporating a beloved melody into a new, dance-friendly context. Overall, the Top Dance Songs of 2007 illustrate a year of evolution and vibrancy within the world of dance music. They encapsulate a time when the genre was expanding, embracing new influences, and reaching out to a broader audience. The year's best tracks demonstrated an extraordinary blend of innovation, respect for the past, and a deep love for the infectious energy of dance music. As we look back on these tunes, we are reminded of the enduring power of rhythm, melody, and the human spirit to inspire and connect us on the dance floor and beyond.

This article will shine a spotlight on the Top Dance Songs of 2007, giving due credit to the standouts that shaped this remarkable period in dance music history. Firstly, "Boogie 2nite" by Booty Luv, one of the Top Dance Songs of 2007, was an infectious beat that captured the essence of an era. The track personified the vibrant spirit of dance music, making it a perennial favorite among both casual listeners and dance enthusiasts. Cahill's "Trippin On You" was another masterstroke from 2007, showcasing an innovative sound that seamlessly blended several music genres. The track was a musical journey, taking listeners through a myriad of emotions and dance rhythms, hence securing its place among the Top Dance Songs of 2007. Meanwhile, the updated version of "Do You Want It Right Now" by Degrees of Motion added a contemporary twist to a classic sound, reaffirming the timeless appeal of dance music. Another highlight was the Bassmonkey remix of "Keep Your Body Working" by Tony Moran & Martha Wash, which was emblematic of the upbeat, infectious rhythms that made 2007 a memorable year for dance music. The song "Stand Up" by Nowak drew inspiration from A Taste of Honey's disco classic Boogie Oogie Oogie, paying tribute to the heritage of dance music while also charting new territories. Also, Mika's "Love Today" and Roisin Murphy's "Let Me Know" were notable for their distinctive soundscapes, which contributed to the diversity of the Top Dance Songs of 2007. Finally, the DJ Meme remix of "The Cure and the Cause" by Fish Go Deep provided a deeper, more introspective take on dance music, showcasing the genre's versatility. Looking back on the Top Dance Songs of 2007, it's clear that this was a year of creativity and innovation, laying a solid foundation for the evolution of dance music in the years to follow. The Top Dance Songs of 2007 not only reflected the zeitgeist of the time but also marked a significant chapter in the history of dance music. Until the next time...ENJOY!

Just in time for your weekend pleasure, I'm dropping the MASSIVE Beach Party mix that's bound to fuel your summer celebrations! This unabashedly commercial set kicks off with the would-be/should-be summertime hit 'Good Time' by the former lead singer of the Gap Band, Charlie Wilson. While the original is outstanding in its own right, the Moto Blanco remix adds that extra summer feelgood-ishness that makes you want to get up and DANCE! I just wish there was a full version available but I'll take whatever I can get because this song is that good. The overall tone of this mix jumps from one style to another. It features EDM, House, Trap and Reggaeton; basically all the current flavors of the moment. I have yet again provided an alternate mix to the song of the summer "Despacito", which has gone on to be the most streamed song like ever. For those of us that grew up during the "Macarena" craze in the 90's, Despacito is the equivalent. I decided it was worth taking that trip down memory lane, so I've also included the awesome remix of Macarena by DJ Belindo, which is guaranteed to put you in the mood. I have been all over "The Sugar Shack" by would-be country singer Tami. I don't know much about her but this song has been on my radar for a while now but I haven't been able to fit it in anywhere. It's on a meteoric trajectory on the Billboard Club chart so I bit the bullet and managed to work in the catchy re-work by DJ Tracy Young. Another tune I can't get enough of is "Don't Want You Back" by Bakermat featuring the very talented Kiesza. We haven't heard much from her in a while, but if this is the beginning of things to come; there's much to look forward to. Overall, this entire mix smacks with all of your favorites re-worked for the dancefloor. I hope you have as much fun listening to it as I did putting it together. That's all I got for today. I'll be back next week with the darker side of summer. Until then...ENJOY! Album : Beach Party 2017 Genre : EDM, House, Trap, Reggaeton Year : 2017 Total Time : 01:33:10 Charlie Wilson feat.

Somehow, some way I managed to pull it off. I've two, count them TWO hot off-the-press sets for you folks this week. Kicking it off, I bring you Beach Party 2017 volume 2 with smoldering EDM/Dance hits that are currently ripping up the charts and dancefloors across the globe. Beware, we are in that period where everyone is chasing after the same sound, though I did my best to shake it up a little to keep things as fresh as possible. It's just hard to do considering what I had to work with. Nevertheless, don't let that scare you away because this set rocks! I've got a lot on my plate this week, including a new Circuit Tribal House set for my boys tomorrow. Until then...ENJOY!

I meant to put it up yesterday but I lost track of time. Spin Me 'Round is an eclectic mix that pulls from a variety of House Music sub-genres. Literally. I wanted to do something fresh and different but with energy and this is the result. This is not unlike what I do with the end of the year party set Blow Your Own Horn series but wilder. Don't get to accustomed to one style of music because it will change on a dime. These are hard to pull off but the finished product is always worth the price for the time and effort pulling it together. Let me know what you think and if you want more of these. I've got a total re-work of one of the original Diva Series in store for next week. Until then...ENJOY!

No spooky tunes or effects, just plain ole Top EDM & Dance tunes currently playing or coming to a club near you soon. As I wind down the site, I wanted to go out with a bang which is why I resigned myself to completing at least one more of these and a Circuit set for the boys (dropping tomorrow). To be honest, I've truly lost interest in doing this, the music is repetitive and boring. When I am truly engaged like with the Spin Me 'Round set I just released, nobody really likes it. Frankly, I thought it was one of the most exciting sets I've put out in a while, mainly because of its diversity and uniqueness but I'll digress. At the end of the day, my heart just isn't into it but I didn't want to leave things with the Simply Red Legacy set even though that's moved into the top ten most downloaded and streamed sets I've ever put out (go figure). HW17 was completed in one sitting. I pretty much threw everything in including the kitchen sink to cover all of my bases. I've only had a small amount of time to skim it so if there are any errors, let me know and I'll try to correct them (hopefully not). That's all I got for now. Until the next time...ENJOY! One other thing, there are issues with this podcast that I am aware of. With almost 4,000 downloads no one bothered to bring it to my attention, so I never went back and fixed it. C'est la vie!

Party Favorz is a one-man operation that never rests! I work hard to bring you the biggest, best and most promising dance music so you don’t have to.  Given all the work that went on and will continue for the next few months pulling everything together on the new site, I had been a little lax in my posting.  last week, I dropped Gay Days for the circuit boys and this week I’m dropping a brand-spanking new EDM set full of delicious big room beats and lots of drops. This set starts off a little slow but quickly picks up steam about halfway through.  Lots of great new stuff in here and my personal fav of the moment is Matthew Koma’s “Wasted.”  Think of it as a modern twist on the Pet Shop Boys “You Only Love Me When You’re Drunk.”  Of course, I’ve been all over the Fedde Le Grande remix of Michael Jackson’s “Love Never Felt So Good,” ever since it was announced.  Despite what Lance Bass and his side-kick Giggles, Wiggles, Tickles or whatever her name is said a couple of weeks ago on Dirty Pop, Ariana Grande & Iggy Azalea’s “Problem” is a massive thumper, not the two thumbs down they gave it.  Frankly, if they’re going to be hosting a show about pop culture, they need to get with the program and understand what the fuck they’re talking about.  In the same show, they gave these three rather mediocre or flat-out lame songs the thumbs up.  I was practically screaming like a wild man in my car when I heard this blasphemy. Out of all the tunes included here, Daft Punk’s “Derezzed” is quite possibly the most uninspired work they could possibly conjure up, including Avicii’s tame remix of the song.  Step in Chris Cox to punch it up and save it from drowning in its own blandness.  Of course, we got Katy’s latest and a new one from Ellie Goulding, who I personally think can do no wrong.  I’m not sure why, but I just adore this woman even though I don’t keep up with all the latest happenings in the lives of artists, stars or otherwise.  I just seem to consistently feel her work whenever it comes across my conscious. You may very well want to stay close to the site and make sure to follow me in any which way you choose.  There is no shortage of options to get your Party Favorz delivered in a manner that’s convenient to your lifestyle.  For those that have been asking for it, Party Favorz is now listed by category in iTunes.  The only two missing are the Diva Hall of Fame, which will never be listed and Gay Pride, which will be fixed and listed by the end of the week.

This is the final batch of the current and HOTTEST EDM/Dance tracks blowing up at radio and dance floors across the globe. Over the years I started using vintage holiday artwork for this series. I am a HUGE fan of vintage ads set in a modern era. Granted, a lot of it is misogynist and definitely misleading. I've even come across several that are clearly targeted at gay men, which come across a little disturbing while others are hilarious. It's certainly not what you'd expect given the time they came out because there is no confusing the message they were sending.  One of the ads was for a luxury Buick with an attractive lady in the backseat and a man in a tuxedo appearing to peak in the back door. The headline or selling point is "Enough room for her to spread her legs" I shit you not. While Party Favorz does not condone this kind of crap, I do have a fascination with attractive women, fashion, etc. So don't make too big a fuss about the images as it's meant to be all in good fun and represents a time in the past mixed in with modern-day culture. You will find several of these tracks re-appear on the Year In Dance coming out in a couple of weeks as well as some big room banger versions on the year-end Blow Your Own Horn. I'll have the second set out early tomorrow morning for your weekend pleasure. Until then...ENJOY!

They used to but have stopped the practice because they now get 15% of whatever is donated in return for providing support for users with issues. That's on top of the fee charged by Stripe to process the subscription payments. If they come back and say okay this one time, then I'll move forward but it's not looking good. I've resigned to the fact that no matter how popular Party Favorz is, there is no way I'll ever be able to make back the money I put into it without having to continually beg for donations like when my site hosting comes due around April/May. When I shut down Apple Music, Google Play and Tunein it makes it inconvenient for a lot of folks who have supported my efforts and frankly isn't fair to them. If I block my feed so that shit services like Deezer, PlayerFM and Mixcloud cannot access it then it blocks access to the ones I want it to appear on. Kind of a catch 22 but I'm researching away around it. I'll make an announcement if I figure that one out. At this point, I've done all I can with this site and don't see much future beyond 2017. I'm seriously looking for a job but one that pays more than I'm already taking in at the moment, which is why I'm being picky. As for the shitbag at https://www.mixcloud.com/kepatotal/ Mixcloud sent me a takedown notice I have to fill out, which I will do shortly. Diva Hall of Fame and the Legacy sections will remain permanently closed as I assume everyone has already downloaded what they want. So here's the Jingle Electric 2017 pt. 2 for everyone's enjoyment. Even though everything is wrapped up for the year, I plan on sticking to my original release schedule. The Holiday Edition contains one MUST-HAVE song on it that is an early promo but I can't release the set until the song drops this coming Friday, December 1st. So expect that to go up followed by the Year in Dance 2017 the following week. I just dropped a couple of tunes into the Blow Your Own Horn 2018 set and smoothed out a couple of transitions, so I plan on getting drunk while previewing it for the rest of the day to ensure there are no other issues. For those that recently donated after my tirade yesterday, send me a message via Facebook if you would like a refund. No questions asked. ENJOY!

The compilation isn't just focused on chart successes, but also looks into tunes gaining popularity with DJs and our personal favorites. Despite the diverse spectrum of house music styles, the broader EDM scene has been relatively static in recent years. There's a sense of déjà vu; first, it was the commercial exploitation of Deep House around 2015, which later morphed into Future House, leaving Deep House to retreat back into its tranquil, melodic roots. Concurrently, the Big Room Anthems or EDM with its signature drops, popularized by the likes of Axwell Λ Ingrosso, Alesso, and David Guetta, became a trend. More recently, the Reggaeton sound, sparked off by Major Lazer & DJ Snake's mega hit "Lean On," has become the beat to chase. Interestingly, the pace of beats has slowed, and songs resemble radio edits more than extended plays, reflective of the dwindling attention spans of today's house music fans. A significant concern is the over-processing and manipulation of vocal tracks, often diminishing the natural talent of the singers. The industry's focus on quick returns rather than investing in artist growth is a significant issue today. Nevertheless, this compilation, Top Dance Songs of 2017, endeavors to sift through the music maze to present the crème de la crème or songs that personally resonate with dance music lovers. With over 200 songs to choose from, creating this compilation was no easy task. These next three episodes represent our picks for the best dance music of the year. Until the next time...ENJOY!

Despite any prior skepticism about the dance music landscape this year, it brought to the forefront an array of musical masterpieces. Many songs, predominantly from the Electronic Dance Music (EDM) genre, were beautifully transformed by remixes that elevated their original's charm, expanding their reach and longevity in the dance music arena. Standout examples include Dua Lipa's "Be the One," Rihanna's "Love On the Brain," and the superb collaboration of Flume and Tove Lo's "Say It," alongside a personal favorite, "Issues" by Julia Michaels. 2017 introduced us to a wave of promising new artists contributing to the Top Dance Songs of 2017, their longevity and impact yet to be fully assessed. At the forefront was Dua Lipa, who soared to stardom backed by Warner Brothers, becoming an absolute sensation with her stunning looks, captivating vocals, and compelling lyrics. Similarly, Julia Michaels showed immense promise, especially with her standout track "Issues," potentially giving the likes of Ellie Goulding serious competition in the future. Other artists who proved their mettle outside their multi-platinum bands were Niall Horan, with hits like "This Town," "Slow Hands" and Camila Cabello, with tracks "Crying in the Club," "Havana". However, for debut artists like Cardi B. ("Bodak Yellow") and Luis Fonsi ("Despacito"), whose first singles were chartbusters, maintaining that level of success could prove challenging. We also extend our hearty applause to Kesha, who with the release of her album "Rainbow", apart from Dr. Luke, demonstrated her raw talent and versatility as an artist. Her Grammy nominations for Best Pop Solo Album and Best Pop Solo Performance are well-deserved. There's so much to cover when discussing the Top Dance Songs of 2017, but to avoid overloading you with information, we'll reserve more insights for our next installment. Stay tuned for the third part of the Top Dance Songs of 2017 coming this Friday. Until then...ENJOY!

For those unfamiliar, each year, Party Favorz curates a collection of what we believe to be the most pivotal dance music tunes. We focus on songs that hold significance in the evolving landscape of dance music, both within mainstream pop culture and the vibrant underground dance music scene. These are the tracks that have been championed by the most influential DJs, from professional pioneers to ambitious amateurs, who have left indelible marks on the electronic dance music landscape. The Top Dance Songs of the Year series took root in 2007, coinciding with the launch of this blog. However, our passion for dance music drove us to delve even further into the past, leading to the creation of compilations dating back an additional decade. Each annual collection, comprising 3-5 comprehensive sets, is a time capsule of the dance music trends and hits of that year. We strongly advise storing the compilations that best mirror your personal dance music journey. In 10 - 20 years, these collections could serve as invaluable musical memoirs of your past. Our expansive content library here at Party Favorz occasionally prompts us to randomly revisit older material from our current Top 20. As a morning person, I recently queued up Top Dance Songs of 2014 Volume 1 on a car drive, allowing the rhythms of the past to accompany my wait for the day's news shows. The trip down memory lane was a delightful reminder of how enduring these tracks truly are. Whether you follow this suggestion or not is entirely your choice but you can thank me later. Currently, I am refining our ultimate year-end New Year dance party mix, Blow Your Own Horn, to ensure it hits all the right notes. With three different versions already in the works, the final output may well be a fusion of the best elements from each. Anticipate an early release, allowing me some respite to regain a sense of normality as the year draws to a close. The exploration of the Top Dance Songs of 2017 seems to have resonated with you, as reflected in the encouraging response we've received. We'll be back in a week or so with the final dance music extravaganza of the year. Until then... ENJOY!

Folks, I've busted my ass putting this final set of the year together, which consists of bootlegs, mashups, a lot of bounce interspersed with the familiar as well as brand-spanking-new tunes that will carry into the new year. There is also a smattering of old classics reworked for today's dancefloors that are sure to surprise and delight! If this doesn't raise your temperature and get your blood boiling, then you might want to check for a pulse because it's likely you're dead. Final thoughts on 2017: Once again, this has proven to be a difficult year in which Party Favorz continues to transition. Granted, I never expected to get 10 years into this yet here I am. It's become painfully clear that this podcast poses a problem with my being able to obtain gainful employment. Two of the rejection letters I received cited that my "current interests do not align with the position I was seeking." They might as well say that my interests don't align with the culture of their company because it comes across more that way. Frankly, if your company has a Trumpist culture, I don't really want to work there as I wouldn't be a good fit. d Another recent interview was oddly informal and the HR person kept going on about how qualified I was for the position. After receiving yet another rejection email from them, I'm starting to think I may also be over-qualified for the positions I've been seeking. In that case, I'm thinking about using a headhunter on Monday to see if my prospects will fare better. That still leaves open one position I applied for at Home Depot that I am so qualified for and really interested in that it makes my head hurt. I still haven't heard back from them but I'll assume the worse case scenario. This leaves the fate of Party Favorz. Closing the site all together has been weighing heavily on my mind. The amount of time and cost I put into this is enormous and relying on donations just doesn't come close to covering my monthly (nor yearly) expenses. Continuing the site at the cost of permanent employment is an additional factor in my considerations. Frankly, I am torn. What started out as a hobby and a passion of mine has turned into a fulltime job and apparently a major liability in my pursuit of self-fulfillment, happiness, and prosperity. Madonna recently announced she was working on a new album and tour in honor of the 35th anniversary of the self-titled release of her first album. If she's working on what I'd hope she would do, which is to come full-circle and go back to the fun early 80's dance-disco infused sound, which is all the rage at the moment, I'd be onboard.

I was dreading the thought of having to slap together another reggaeton set with indistinguishable vocalists but quickly changed my point of view after pouring through 100's of promos to decide the winners and losers. Once I started putting it together, I knew I had something special with a little bit of something for everyone to keep things interesting. Charts are used as a jump-off point when putting these commercial dance sets together but most of it is created through intuition and instinct or basically what I'm getting into. The first time I heard Bruno Mars' latest "Finesse" I was all over this shit. From the Cardi B rap to the early 90's R&B sound that harkens back to BBD (Bel Biv Devoe) to Bruno's effortless adaptability to virtually everything he tackles, this song is just perfect! In fact, I much prefer it to "Versace on the Floor" which was difficult for me really get into. Because it is so stylistically different, I used it as a transition 2/3 of the way into the set, which worked better than expected. Let's just say it was gonna be included if it killed me. Charlie Puth's latest "How Long" is a given and comes packed with a wide variety of remixes; many of which you'll be hearing as the year goes on. Sofi Tukker's "Best Friend" is catchy as hell and sticks in your head long after hearing it. Martin Garrix's "So Far Away" featuring vocalist Jamie Scott & Romy Dya is quite possibly the best thing he's put out since his departure from Spinnin. Olivia Holt (another product of the Disney machine) is coming out strong with "Generous" as are the bevy of remixes included in its remix package. Skylar Stecker continues to impress with "Blame." Dave Audé gives the song that "French Kiss" touch separating it from his standard remixes that virtually guarantees a number one club hit, while his remix of April Diamond's "Lose Control" has serious "Run the World (Girls)" streaming through its veins. So much so, that I've already created a mashup which I may release into the wild later on if the song lands in the top spot as I expect it to do. The remake of the Ultra Naté classic "Free" by Sean Finn, Terri B and Peter Brown has a multitude of remixes that accompanied it but not one of them really offered anything special to the song compared to the original until the KC Anderson remix dropped. This housed-up version without all the tricks and gimmicks finally does justice to the song that's about to hit the top in a couple of weeks and is something I can sink my teeth into. Probably the biggest song in this set belongs to a pair called NAATIONS. Their song "Want Me More" grabs my attention like no other.

Dance Club music is FINALLY transitioning back to its original purpose with some of the most fantastic tracks pouring out. It became readily clear to me when I was mixing Candy Crush in January that the music selection is abnormally good for this time of year and has continued the trend with Winter EDM Sessions. I can't explain it other than the amount of diversity in releases and genres, spot-on vocals, and generally toe-tapping, finger-snapping, booty-shaking ear candy that I can blare through my car speakers while going 70 mph down highway 85 (not recommended for inexperienced drivers and those averse to getting ticketed). Then again, it helps when spring arrives early and many of the songs lend themselves to top contenders for summer hits. Speaking of summer, Tom Keller's "Everybody Knows My Name" was released in mid-December of last year. I immediately fell in love with the song but felt the summer vibes were not a good fit for its early release, so I sat on it. There are a wide variety of mixes included with the release. I relented and used the Felipe Angel big room remix on the Winter Edition pt. 1 in January and am now pushing the original version in this set. Why? Because I believe in this track and think it has the potential to be a summer sleeper hit. I've also scheduled the Chat Noir remix for the upcoming chill set I've got planned. You can stream these tracks now on Spotify. The minute you hear the jangly guitar, you're gonna be hooked! This entire set is packed (literally) with a ton of floor scorchers. Some are currently climbing Billboard's Club Dance chart, while others are waiting their turn. Azure's "Too Late" and Dua Lipa's latest "IDGAF" go hand in hand and are modern-day versions of "I Will Survive." Keala Settle's "This Is Me" is an empowering track from the musical "The Greatest Showman" while Rita Ora's "Anywhere" is yet another gem from the gifted singer who frankly is getting the shaft at Top 40 despite her knack for working with stellar DJ's, writers and producers and impeccable vocals. Zedd's "The Middle" needs no introduction because it's already blowing up everywhere. Dominique Young Unique's "Karate" is one to watch. The Hoxton Whores deliver a fresh mainstream tech-house remix that fits well with her fast sexy delivery. 90's alternative hero Beck is back with the summer jam "Up All Night" in what is quite possibly his most accessible track in a while. The feel-good nature of the song will have you up on your feet the minute he dips into the verse. Troye Sivan's latest "My My My" gets the Barry Harris treatment and what a stellar remix! Once again, it's got summer written all over it as Harris turns it into an uplifting house trac...

Structured much like Blow Your Own Horn that I put out at the end of the year in 2013, this set was put together in one sitting and edited on the fly.  The 2014 Catch-Up is your must-have for summer party fun and I promise you shall want for not.  Take it with you wherever you go and when you need to get the party started, just put this on and blast it LOUD! Because this is a non-stop partylicious endeavor featuring the biggest dance songs of the year, I did not provide a cue file for skipping around.  Just play it from start to finish and then hit repeat.

This set is compiled of the current top dance club hits or those that will soon be. As usual, Party Favorz is way ahead of the curb in the latest dance hits before they come onto your radar. I've caught on to a trend that's been consistent for a long while now. The Circuit Tribal House and EDM Dance Club set I put out generates a lot of heat on its initial release. This is from what I call the early adopters. Three months later, these very same sets explode even more as folks become more familiar with the songs. A good example is the Holiday Edition 2017 had been riding high for the past couple of weeks. That was released in December. I wade through hundreds of submissions from labels, DJs, and charts for each compilation every month. I then research and compile the tracks I think will click with users. I throw in a few things I know won't but I'm digging as the DJ's pick. I'm not always right but overall I have a pretty damn good track record [pat on the back]. Don't be surprised to see this set ride up the "Popular" list and then quickly drop down and then reemerge in June again at the top. It happens all the time. Since I'm going to be out of the loop for a while, I want to send out a friendly reminder that I'm trying to raise $183 for the website hosting that renews on April 12th. Currently, we are now at $96.00 with only $86 more to go. The way I see it is that the average number of downloads per episode over the past 12 months is approximately 1,000 users. Some are more than others but that's the average. If just a quarter of you donated $1.00 towards my efforts for providing you with downtime pleasure I could easily make this up without the hassle of begging. I would clear about .80 cents after PayPal gets their cut. I know we can do this. Once again, I'd to thank Ludovic D. (who has been more than generous this year) and Ignacio G. for their contributions. Please consider donating here. In other news, my father is currently in in-house hospice care. He's not expected to make it through the weekend. My mother has already made arrangements to move from Houston to the Dallas suburbs to be closer to my sister at the end of April. There will be two services for my father and I'm hoping to attend the second in Dallas so I can see my nephews and niece at that time. My mother wants to have his ashes sent from Houston to Dallas so they can bury him there. My father is my best friend and I've already missed our Sunday conversations as he spews his FOX news talking points and I counter with my liberal positions. This is a hard one for me,

I know I said I was stepping back for a bit, but the dance music scene isn’t slowing down, and neither are we. So, here’s another killer set, D M M [Dance Music For the Masses]. Think of it as the cooler cousin to our Spring Break 2018 set. It’s a 2.5-hour ride through what’s genuinely worth listening to right now. I’ve gone through it a few times to make sure everything's on point. No fluff, no filler. What’s In the Mix? You've got a blend of tracks that cover all corners of dance music. Joe Stone and Cr3on’s "Is It Really Love" is in there, and it’s a smooth starter. It's got a vibe that’s hard to pin down, somewhere between Future House and your standard dance track. It sets the mood without trying too hard, you know? And speaking of setting moods, Dua Lipa’s “IDGAF” gets a remix treatment that takes it to a whole new level. Charlie Lane and Jason Reilly knew what they were doing. It's not just a remix; it's like they reinvented the wheel without making it square. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh8b8x9o1qI Ever listened to Years & Years' "Sanctify" by OffSet? If you haven’t, you’re missing out. OffSet takes a soulful track and twists it into something you'd want to hear at a club at 1 a.m. It's got complexity without being pretentious—a tough line to walk in dance music. Also, shoutout to M-22 and Medina's "First Time." This track sits right in the sweet spot between Future House and Tech House. It's versatile, making it a good fit whether you're chilling at home or letting loose on the dance floor. Oh, and if you're into the mainstream stuff, David Guetta and Sia’s "Flames" gets a Pink Panda makeover that's worth a listen. It’s the same song you know and love, but with a little extra something that just clicks. Wrapping It Up Look, there's more I could say, but the playlist speaks for itself. All these tracks, whether original or remixed, come from people who live and breathe dance music. So give D M M [Dance Music For the Masses] a spin and let the beats talk. Until the next time...ENJOY!

This set typically includes releases from the yearly Jingle Electric to recent episodes like Candy Crush, Spring Break 2018, D M M and more. Some of the songs were included in the 2017 Year In Dance compilation but had such a massive impact, they continued to perform well into the new year. This set is a monster and a must-have for your upcoming summer parties! I'm working on a little somethin' special for next week and have already started compiling tracks for the 2018 Gay Pride celebrations. Until the next time...ENJOY!

Due to the structure of the set where it cools down towards the end, I decided to break it off and created a part two to this, which I'll drop tomorrow. While both sets are equally good, I'd give part two a slight edge, but I'll let you folks decide. Since I've been gone for most of July, you'll also be getting the Summer Edition before the weekend is over. All the sets are in the can, and I'll start working on a brand-new Underground House set featuring some of the most slamming Tech and House tracks at the moment for release next week. I'm just trying to make up for my absence, so these are gonna be coming at you in rapid succession. This set will get you over hump day and should guide you through the weekend. Until then...ENJOY!

We pick the hits, so you don't have to hunt for them on Spotify. Okay, that may be an overstatement, but we (meaning I) do my best to ensure you're getting the latest and greatest along with upcoming club tracks that are hitting my radar and wrapping them up in one tight continuous dance set. After all, who wants a bunch of random radio edits that fade in and out? You can listen to the radio for free for that. Beach Party 2018 part 2 takes on a whole new direction in that not only did I include a multitude of current and upcoming hits but picked up some fun disco and house classics that have been reworked for today's dancefloor. It definitely keeps things interesting. For instance, KC & the Sunshine Band's "Get Down Tonight" has been entirely revamped and is currently blowing up just about every chart I've seen, and rightfully so. Though it's a tad bit overcompressed (beyond my control), the disco original explodes with synths and heavy bass making it a perfect staple for a new generation. Equally, Hot Chocolate's "You Sexy Thing" get's an overhaul with Softmal's "I Believe In Miracles," which creates a sense of relevance and fun for today's listeners while keeping the bouncy playfulness of the original nearly intact. There are many others included here that go by different names, but you'll instantly recognize them once the chorus hits. Other tracks that I've been all over include AuRa and Camelphat's "Panic Room" and Sofi Tukker's playful disco-infused "Batshit" courtesy of Purple Disco Machine. With new tracks from P!nk, Sultan + Shepard, Vassy, Jonas Blue, Ariana Grande, Troy Sivan, and the song of the summer "I Like It" by Cardi B; it's almost like Christmas in summer. If you're looking for the amazing new Robyn track "Missing U" sorrow because the official remixes are not out yet other than a couple of bootlegs that don't come close to doing this fantastic track justice. Be patient. I'll be back tomorrow with Summer Edition 2018 for those of you that are into DIVAS and BIG tribal beats. Until then...ENJOY!

Summer Farewell pt. 1 captures the essence of the 2018 season with some of the finest dance-club hits receiving a late release. Party Favorz has collected these outstanding tracks and stitched them all together in one giant non-stop release guaranteed to get you ready for school. In fact, after previewing the entire set, I can honestly say there is only one song I really didn't care for but shall remain unnamed so as not to offend the artist. We have massive releases from the Chainsmokers, Martin Garrix and Khalid, Post Malone, Kygo and Miguel, Justin Bieber (with guest stars), Marshmello, Calvin Harris and Sam Smith, Tiesto, Seeb, Selena Gomez, Janet Jackson, as well as a bevy of newcomers like the Rua amongst others. In short, I packed this set in with a variety of EDM, Dance, House, and Tropical to keep it varied. You may even notice the track "Rise" by Lisette Melendez. Yes, it's the "Together Forever" artist from the 90's who sounds just as fresh today as when she was riding the freestyle trend back in the day. There's even a fantastic EDM remix of the song but I decided to go with the old school remix that frankly deserves a comeback just on the strength of that alone. Overall, I think you'll want for not and this set should keep listeners busy for a long time as it clocks in at over 2 1/2 hours. In an effort to complete this Summer Farewell series, I'll be working on a Funky Disco House set shortly and hope to have it out before the upcoming Labor Day holiday weekend coming up. Until then...ENJOY! Album: Summer Farewell 2018 pt. 1Genre: EDM, Dance, ClubYear: 2018Total Time: 02:28:43 The Chainsmokers feat.

In keeping with the changes I have been slowly implementing to keep things fresh, I've also thrown in some amazing tracks from small independent labels that do not have the resources to widely promote their artists. There truly is some great music being produced by these various labels and worthy of inclusion. In addition, whenever I come across an old pop hit or dance track that's been remixed for today's floors, I like to throw those in as an added bonus. Australia's Leo Frappier under the Division 4 moniker is quite possibly the best at this but there are definitely others. No point in mentioning the tracks; you'll know them the minute you hear them, even if the title doesn't match up. ADS IN PODCASTS You may have noticed ads popping up again in my podcasts. This is coming directly from Podbean and I just emailed them this morning demanding answers. Adding ads has always been an option for me but I chose not to because nobody listens to them, they provide a bad user experience, and frequently the ads have no added value to my followers. I'm really pretty pissed at the moment and waiting for whatever bullshit response they send back to me before I make any drastic decisions. PAYPAL, CREDIT CARDS & OTHER OPTIONS FOR DONATING I've also gotten a couple of calls to add back the credit card option for processing payments. PayPal used to do this but it appears now they force you into having an account with them. To be honest, I recently got fucked so hard by PayPal, I'm going to have to take them to court. Sadly, as part of their user agreement, I will be forced into arbitration using their own arbitrators by whatever court I file with. It's part of their user agreement that ALL companies are beginning to implement to prevent class action lawsuits. PayPal first added up to $300 into my account that apparently, they were taking from my checking account without any notice. The issue is that my bank was refusing those withdrawals and had just performed a complete overhaul of their app and website requiring new more difficult passwords. I was locked out for over a month before this was straightened out. I assumed these were donations but they were not. Two weeks later, PayPal shows that the withdrawals were rejected by my bank showing a negative balance on my PayPal account. Once I finally gained access to my bank account, I saw where PayPal was running these transactions day after day, sometimes twice in the same day. Needless to say, I was furious. I had to deposit $3,000 in account loaned to me by my mother to cover all my payments being re...

In keeping with tradition, I like to use a vintage holiday-themed pin-up girl for the artwork of which there appears to be no shortage. Don't hate on me for using something many would consider sexist. I'm just a big fan of all types of vintage advertisements and especially the ones geared towards gay men, which I find hilarious (given the obvious nature of the ads and the time that they were released). Jingle Electric 2018 expands on the direction I've been moving the Dance-Club series in but takes it even further. Let's face it, I don't want to hear a couple of hours of the same-old thinned out female (or male) voices over a drab reggaeton or EDM beat over and over until everything becomes blurred, any more than I want to hear back to back Trap songs that all sound the same. YAWN! This time around, I'm delivering the hits along with some under the radar tracks that are either independent or on small labels and that don't necessarily get the exposure they deserve but are seriously worth a spin. I took this further and included tracks that would normally reside on one of my Underground House or Funky Disco House sets to break things up. Since I typically don't release these types of sets past November and was sitting on some really solid tracks that I was itching to use, I dropped them in. The end result...is nothing short of FABULOUS! So, if you're go-to genre is the Dance-Club series and you haven't been paying attention to the other two categories, get prepared to get schooled. By dropping a variety of genres in that include commercial dance-club tracks along with some Tech and Funky House, you're in for a real treat that you never knew you wanted; that is, until now. You'll also notice (depending on your age or musical knowledge) that about a 1/3 of the songs are either classics tracks remade or heavily sample them to create something totally new. I was going to list them all for you, but there are really so many, it would take up an entire page to list everything and their origins. Just know, there is a bevy of '80s and '90s influences contained herein as well as '70s and even early millennium. As I've always said, what's old is new again. There is one group that I do want to put on everyone's radar (especially if you're a fan of Indie Rock music like I am) is Bang Bang Romeo, who's remixed track "Bag Of Bones" is included in this set. The promos showed up in one of my music services and I was just blown away! I checked out a couple of their videos and this group has got the goods.

For newcomers to this series, the Top Dance Songs of the Year is a compilation of the biggest dance songs from various music spectrums from the preceding year. Party Favorz curates this unique collection, amalgamating tracks from Billboard's Year-End Charts for Dance Club Songs, Hot Dance/Electronic Songs, and remixed versions from the Hot 100 Songs that typically don't chart. We also include personal favorites that have left a significant impression over the year. Previously, Beatport charts were used for this process, but they seem to have discontinued their year-end summaries. Reflecting on the year, 2018 did not leave an indelible mark in the dance music scene as one might have hoped. A considerable fraction of the year's top dance hits actually peaked in 2017, hence the Top Dance Songs of 2018 list includes tracks from the previous year as well. Iconic examples like "Something Just Like This" by The Chainsmokers & Coldplay, "Silence" by Marshmello featuring Khalid, "It Ain't Me" by Kygo x Selena Gomez appear on the year-end charts, suggesting that the new releases perhaps lacked the resonant appeal of their predecessors. Looking at the broader trend, dance music seemed to lean heavily on trends that have already reached their zenith of popularity. From the Deep House frenzy of 2015 evolving into Future House and anthemic tunes, to the current fascination with Moombahton's slow, rolling beats — a style rooted in Latinx music, dance music trends of 2018 seem to lack originality. Even Reggaeton and Trap music, once fresh and exciting, now seem to have overstayed their welcome, with little indication of what the next big trend could be. As we take stock of the Top Dance Songs of 2018, it's clear that the music industry needs to address some systemic issues. Billboard's charts, for instance, require a revamp to avoid single artists monopolizing chart positions with album releases, a phenomenon exacerbated by the inclusion of streaming service data. This over-saturation dilutes the diversity and quality of charting music. Despite these challenges, dance music in 2018 wasn't entirely without merit. The underground scene continues to thrive and there's an increasing yearning for a resurgence of Disco (NuDisco) and Funk. Given the tumultuous and uncertain times we live in, these feel-good genres could provide the much-needed escape and joy we all crave. As we look ahead, we'll explore the 'Spotification' of dance music in our next piece, followed by a deep dive into the key DJs/Produ...

Party Favorz is taking you on a trip down memory lane, recalling the unforgettable hits that dominated the dance music scene. Party 2 of our year-end dance retrospective further enhances this musical extravaganza by including more of the year's most influential club hits! A curious query arose from one of our followers recently regarding the usage of radio edits in our mixes. The response, initially simplistic, turned out to be more complex than a straightforward 'yes' or 'no'. The reality lies somewhere in the middle, so let's dive deeper. In the era of streaming services, dance music, like most genres, is becoming increasingly influenced by this shift, especially by platforms like Spotify. This trend arguably took root in 2009 when Mariah Carey's album, "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel", was extensively remixed by Jump Smokers, leading to a collection of dance radio edits rather than full-length dance tracks. While these tracks were not DJ-friendly, it signaled the beginning of a trend for shorter, more condensed "dance remixes". As we fast forward to the year 2018, a significant proportion of remixes adopted this shorter format. The reason? Streaming platforms operate in a similar vein to traditional radio stations, providing on-demand music without the ads, and they favor quick, accessible listens before moving onto the next track. Extended intros and outros don't fit this model, and hence the shift towards more condensed tracks. This evolution posed a challenge for DJs, stuck between delivering popular songs and preserving the art of mixing. The solution is a delicate balance, combining the shorter edits with longer dance remixes to maintain a seamless flow. Although this approach might dampen the traditional joy of mixing, it offers a practical way forward, especially for the future of remixing like on the Top Dance Songs of 2018. This shift towards 'Spotify-ready' music is not universal, however. Genres like Tech House, Funky House, and Circuit-Tribal music still release full-length dance tracks. Another interesting trend observed in 2018 was the emergence of labels focused on producing dance music tailored for streaming platforms like Spotify or Apple Music. Their business model is based on the number of streams generated rather than music sales. This approach has led to the creation of some excellent dance tracks that, sadly, may never grace club DJ decks, despite being included in the list of Top Dance Songs of 2018. Despite these developments, platforms like Spotify still restrict the inclusion of dance music podcasts,

This year marked a resurgence of Legacy artists, who contributed some of the most memorable dance club hits and carved a niche on our list of Top Dance Songs of 2018. Prominent artists like Toni Braxton, Barbara Tucker, Crystal Waters, Donna Summer, and Diana Ross were particularly influential. Diana Ross's spectacular performance saw her clinching two number-one spots on the dance charts. However, our final selection of Top Dance Songs of 2018 included only her melodious rendition of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", while her "I'm Coming Out/Upside Down" medley, despite its conceptual appeal, was omitted due to less-than-stellar execution. The year 2018 wasn't just about well-established names, though. Several artists like Dua Lipa, Cardi B, and Camila Cabello, who had broken into the limelight the previous year, continued to enjoy significant success. However, the year didn't birth any major new talents. While Ariana Grande and Demi Lovato had their fair share of successful releases, on the whole, the year's offerings were somewhat underwhelming. The true heroes of the Top Dance Songs of 2018 were the DJs. Veterans like Eric Kupper, MK, StoneBridge, Barry Harris, and Dave Aude ensured dance music enthusiasts had plenty to groove to. David Guetta, now a legend in the industry, released a series of successful tracks that year. Similarly, Tiesto continued to demonstrate his relentless creativity and passion for music. However, the Top Dance Songs of 2018 also had fresh names asserting their presence. Jonas Blue, Marshmello, and Zedd made people around the world move to their infectious beats, with Zedd claiming the coveted title of 'Song of the Year' with his hit "The Middle". Another promising talent, Purple Disco Machine, was the harbinger of a potential modern-day disco revival. Calvin Harris, one of the most prodigious artists in the industry, perfectly encapsulated the state of EDM in 2018. Responding to a fan's query about his return to EDM, Harris stated, "EDM has been sad, slow songs for years now, doesn't have anything in common with the music I love to make. 2010-2014 EDM was more house-influenced to me. Anyway now I’m out the bubble and making big records with amazing singers that sound like house music to me." The essence of his statement reflects the evolution of dance music since its inception in the late '70s. Despite the rise of genres like Reggaeton, Moonbatan, and Trap, many music lovers still crave the energetic, uplifting music that inspires them to dance – the kind ...

It's meant to be one final kiss-off to the year that was welcoming in the new year to come. Over the years it's evolved into a massive set with some of the best party tracks from the past making it the must-have set for those celebrating with friends closer to home. I have been bogged down this past week troubleshooting issues with the credit card payment processor for donations. I've since disabled it and pushed it out to the new year. If there's one thing folks that follow this podcast know about me is that I'm anal about every minor detail. This isn't so minor, and it really irritates the hell out of me when I pay $$$ for things that don't work, and the developer blames it on another developer's plugin, or my theme, or anything but them. I've performed all the standard troubleshooting to no avail, and they won't be able to help until after the 1st. That being said, you can still donate using the PayPal option, which also accepts credit cards if you don't have an account. My focus had to be getting this final set out in time. As you can see, I'm a day late and a dollar short but the wait is worth it. Blow Your Own Horn 2019 was way harder than previous efforts. I don't know if it was because I was multi-tasking two completely separate things or that I'm worn out after running a marathon of mixes since Late October. While I have not previewed the entire set yet, what I have heard so far has left me pleased. I think ya'll are really gonna love this! 2018 has been a tough slog trying to get through the daily minutia and Individual 1's constant barrage of self-serving lies, I mean tweets on a continual basis. Life is much easier when you don't follow much news or politics, but willful ignorance also leaves us without the knowledge to fight for change. At the beginning of 2018, I originally planned on shutting down Party Favorz, but I persisted and forged on. I'm glad I did. Frankly, I run this site by the seat of my pants coming up with one idea after another. Many of you have made suggestions for sets that I ultimately tackle, while others need more consideration. Regardless, it's a group effort, and I appreciate the input. For now, I plan to keep the doors open at least through mid-April when my hosting expires. If I create a fundraiser for renewing my host, then you know I'm in it for the long haul. That has yet to be determined. In the interim, I want to thank EVERYBODY from the bottom of my heart that donating to my efforts to bring...

Electric Dreams is a compilation of the biggest Dance-Club tracks at the moment along with some reworked pop classics from decades past. The end result is truly a wet dream of some of the finest house music to come out in a long time. What's nice about these tracks is that most of them come in a variety of flavors from Future House, Funky House, Electro House, and straight-up House that my options were nearly limitless. I took the variety option and mixed it up to keep it interesting. You can expect alternate versions of some of these songs on future compilations. Until the next time...ENJOY!

This features all the latest dance hits, with bootlegs, mashups, and old favorites reworked for the newer generation of club-goers.  There is a good mix of EDM, House, Deep House, Future House, and NuDisco to keep things interesting. All tracks were handpicked by me to ensure high octane and maximum fun! In an important sidenote — Party Favorz host renewal plan is coming up faster than I anticipated. It actually needs to be renewed on April 4th.  Consequently, now is the time for donations to cover my costs to continue this podcast for the remainder of the year. It would be nice if all the backbenchers got off the sidelines and donated at least $5 to help keep this site afloat. I'm counting on you folks to make it happen. I've already personally covered the costs of the new theme and redesign of the site earlier this year — so it's on you to keep things up and running. I'll be back tomorrow with part two of Spring Break 2019. Until then...ENJOY! Album: Spring Break 2019 v1Genre: House, Future House, Deep House, EDM, NuDiscoYear: 2019Total Time: 02:03:54 1.

Party Favorz is finally back with volume 2 of the Spring Break 2019 edition to help you get your party on with the hottest dance club hits from around the globe. Once again, we've got it all jammed with genre favorites from House, EDM, Future House, Deep House, and NuDisco. I like mixing it up to keep things interesting. Since Mueller dropped his final report on Friday, pretty much everyone has been on edge about its contents — including myself. I've been going down the Twitter rabbit hole where a lot of folks or second-guessing what's contained in the report but have come to the conclusion that we'll have to wait as nobody really knows. I'm also starting to notice many in the Democrat party drawing partisan lines that could be damaging to our unity going into 2020. You have the woman faction dumping all over men, blacks dumping all over white folks and religious lefties dumping all over those of us that remain staunchly secular. Then you have the wannabe pundits and journalists angling to get on one of CNN's heated debate segments who clearly have their own agenda in denigrating candidates that are gaining a lot of momentum. To be certain, it's a mixed bag and one that I've personally participated in. All of this anxiety-inducing raucous is making me reconsider injecting myself into these partisan groups — oftentimes from folks I highly respect. It's almost like high school all over again. So, I've decided to step back and allow all these folks to get the shit out of their system. It doesn't mean I won't comment on things that I find atrocious, but I'm stepping away from the partisan bitching going on within our own party. We have an outstanding group of candidates running, with clear front-runners, a couple of sleepers that have a lot of potential to disrupt, and a few messianic candidates who will likely be revealed as the empty shells they are during the debates. In short, something for everyone. I think a lot of these candidates will be whittled down to a handful heading into the primaries in 2020. With all that said, I want to dedicate this set to @riotwomennn because I do believe it's time we have a woman's perspective running the country. It just shows that we can disagree on minor issues but at the end of the day will unite behind a common cause. I wanna give a HUGE shoutout to those of you that have donated to help me renew our hosting service. David J., Patrick S., Anthony S., Casper Y., Ludovic D., your are very much appreciated! I'll have the 2019 Spring Circuit Edition out by the end of this next week. Until then...ENJOY!

I have to say, it was difficult enough dealing with what amounts to radio edits for many of the official full-length mixes but there's a new twist in town. Certain DJswho will go unnamed have been cutting off the outro of their mixes. At first, I thought they were pulling the tracks from sets but the more I started to see it — the more I realized this was intentional. There's no breakdown just a slow repetitive plodding that never reaches a conclusion then all of a sudden just cuts off. I don't know if this is some DJs thinking they are so beyond creating these mixes or if they want to challenge others to come up with creative ways of mixing in and out of the tracks. I don't use fancy mixing software that has a slew of effects for transitions and frankly — other than in a club (where most folks don't notice), I'm not a big fan of getting all cutesy with transitions unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise, they're just annoying and don't really display any skill on the part of the DJ. I liken it to a whole new generation of folks with short attention spans — but I'll digress. I combed through the finished product an hour ago then mastered and encoded it. The end result is some of the finest dance club tracks already in your clubs and a whole bunch more that will soon be. You'll also notice a bevy of classic tracks reworked for a new audience but with either different singers or the originals reprising their roles. No need to list the names as they will be very familiar to you just by reading the tracklist Summer Leap is exactly what it implies. It's all the hottest dance-club hits that will take us well into summer. We're in that stage where we go from cooler temps to summer-like temps to heavy rain and tornadoes, then cooler temps then back to warmer temps all in a month. This will continue through May before Summer finally gives in and things start heating up. Of course, that doesn't stop Party Favorz from enacting our brand of global warming before the actual season fully kicks in. If it's still snowing, or cold and rainy where you're at — just know that summer is right around the corner and this set will put you in a better frame of mind. Until the next time...ENJOY!

Just in time for the summer season, this series allows you to catch up with the biggest dance club hits of the year. As a bonus, I've thrown in some newer tracks that are just now gaining momentum and will likely soon be everywhere. Ariana Grande is the clearcut winner for the most hits with "Thank U, Next" carrying over from last year along with "7 Rings," and "Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored." One of the most striking trends I'm seeing is classic-pop remakes. While sampling past hits have been a staple of artists going back to the 90s, remaking full tracks has not. In this set, we have a total of 5 remakes that include: "Self Control" by Kendra Erika (originally a Top 3 hit for Laura Branigan in 1984),  Hilary Roberts' "Back To Life" (originally a #1 hit for Soul II Soul featuring Caron Wheeler in 1989), "Fired Up" by Jade Starling (originally a #1 dance club hit for Funky Green Dogs in 1996), "The Rhythm of the Night" by Sean Finn & Corona (originally a #11 pop hit and #1 dance club hit for Corona in 1993 who re-sung the vocals for this release),  "I've Been Thinking About You" by Klaas and Londonbeat (originally a #1 pop and dance club hit for Londonbeat in 1989 who re-sung the vocals for this release), "Bittersweet Symphony" by Gamper & Dadoni featuring Emily Roberts (originally a #1 pop and alternative hit in 1997), and "Jump" by Van Halen and Armin Van Buuren (originally a #1 pop and rock hit in 1984). The one that did not make the cut is "You Gotta Be" by Bombs Away featuring Reigan, which was originally a #5 hit for Des'ree in 1995 but didn't quite capture the essence of the original. This is quite a grab bag of influences artists are delving into as they represent a wide variety of genres. At the end of the day, a great song is still a great song. I realize this set has been a long time coming but it's finally here and there is enough to fuel your parties through July before I start dropping some new dance club on you. I'm currently wrapping up the annual installment of Beach House and will start working on the next Underground House set shortly. As you can see, there's plenty in the works. Until the next time...ENJOY! Album: Catch-Up 2019Genre: House, Future House, EDMYear: 2019Total Time: 03:44:34 1. Ariana Grande - 7 Rings (Division 4 & Matt Consola Remix) 2.

So, I'm just going to let this set speak for itself. I think I'll just take a disco nap, get up and shower, get my hair cut and then take in a movie by myself. Since I'm sick of superhero movies, monsters, and piss-poor comedies that aren't really funny, I think I'll take in Rocket Man. That's about the only speed I can handle at the moment. I do want to thank Paul S., Keith M., Anthony S., and Daniel L. for their generous donations — they're always appreciated. I should be back next week with the annual Spring Edition featuring the hottest circuit tribal house music at the moment. The week after, I was thinking I might put together a nice vocal house set. You don't do too much in that area these days but there's been enough over the past few years to scrap something together that I think a lot of you will like. Until then...ENJOY!

Party Favorz is here to help you say goodbye to summer with one final BIG FUCK YOU to global warming with Summer Farewell — our end-of-summer blow-out dance party! Summer Farewell 2019 is jam-packed with the re-works of the summer's biggest hits like "Old Time Road" by Lil Nas & Billy Ray Cyrus, "Bad Guy" by Billie Eilish, and "Truth Hurts" by Lizzo along with current favorites "Someone You Loved" by Lewis Capaldi, "Higher Love" by Kygo & Whitney Houston, "Senorita" by Shawn Mendes & Camila Cabello "Beautiful People" by Ed Sheeran & Khalid and the slow burner that's been getting its share of bootlegs and mashups that perched the #1 Dance Club charts several months ago "Piece of Your Heart" by Meduza & Goodboys that's been twisted and mashed by flexible masters of mashups DJs From Mars. We've got a ton of new tracks worthy of keeping your ears and eyes on because you'll be hearing them soon in your local club as well as classic reworks like "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" by U2 and "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley courtesy of the master mixer Kue as well as "Missing You" by Everything But the Girl, "Anthem" by N-Joi (which has a lot of folks reworking this 90's house classic lately), "Finally" by Ce Ce Peniston (always a house favorite), and "Return of the Mack" by Mark Morrison amongst others. In short, we (meaning I) kept this set fresh, interesting, original, and most importantly diverse to keep your attention. On a more serious note — there is so much shit going down across the globe that Party Favorz wants to make sure that you know we stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Russia, the UK, Venezuela, Brazil, and especially Hong Kong. Keep up the good fight as the United States will ultimately find ourselves in an untenable situation where we have no other solution but to take it to the streets and burn this shit down. If I could sue this administration for the whiplash-inducing degradation of health care, human rights, the environment, voting rights, and gun safety all the while sowing the seeds of disinformation and divisive politics along racial lines — I most certainly would. Enough never seems to be enough with this administration and its lackeys. If you don't like my politics — feel free to fuck the hell off. I hope everyone has a fantastic Labor Day weekend and for those of you in Florida — please stay safe. Until the next time...ENJOY!

Many of these tracks are hot off the presses and you'll likely be hearing them in your local club for months to come. As usual, I like to put my own spin on these sets with fresh reworks of classic tracks from decades past. There is no shortage of classic cuts in this set featuring "Dancin" by Aaron Smith and Luvli, "Say My Name" by Damon Hess (Destiny's Child), "Cold Rock A Party" by Richard Grey & Lissat (MC Lyte and Missy Elliott), "I See You Baby" by Groove Armada, "Work It & Lose Control" by Missy Elliott, "Feel What You Want" by Kristine W, "Call On Me" by Eric Prydz, "Rock Your Body" by Justin Timberlake, and the obligatory Halloween favorite "Thriller" by Michael Jackson. Each of these tracks has had new life breathed into them by the various remixers who've given them a fresh new perspective. I really wanted to get these all out by Friday but things kinda slipped away from me but better late than never. Technically speaking, Halloween isn't until Thursday and you can enjoy these sets without all the spooky noises and typical filler (i.e., gimmicks) employed by other DJs in their sets. With my birthday rapidly approaching on Saturday, I wanted to give a shshout-outo David J. and Keith M. for their generous donations that helped cover some unexpected expenses this month including a pricey new DJ service (but worth it) and Billboard's new charge for access to their charts (which pissed me off). As it stands, we're back on track. I plan on updating volume 2 of the Essential 80's Dance Mix as I noticed two breaks within Taylor Dayne's "Prove Your Love" with a third for the outro. I'll need to re-edit the track and check for anything else I may have missed. Sorry for the continuous need to update sets but it's unnerving for me to not fix something — especially when it's a definitive series like this. I've already mentioned two Legacy entries on tap but I may expand that to four. It depends on whether I have enough of these two artists to make it work so I'm not saying who they are just yet. I'll let it be a surprise that many of you had asked for in the past when and if they do pop up My goal now is to get out the updated version of volume two of the Essential 80's Dance Mix followed by volume 4 sometime this weekend. Until then...ENJOY! Album: HW19Genre: House, Future House, Funky House, EDMYear: 2019Total Time: 02:45:36 1. Aaron Smith feat. Luvli - Dancin (Remix (Krono Extended Remix) 2.

In keeping with tradition, we're dropping the annual Jingle Electric, which features the biggest Dance Club hits of the moment and some that will be heading into the new year. For those that caught my teaser on Facebook, which referenced the comeback of disco, let me just say that I may have oversold it but not really. The first true sign of a resurgence is Dua Lipa's massive "Don't Start Now," which is the first mainstream attempt at injecting disco into its formula and it works in spades. DJ Barry Harris predicted a resurgence of disco in a recent post to his Facebook account. He would know because he gets commissioned for a lot of mainstream artist remixes and he's reading the same signs that I am. "Don't Start Now" had a bevy of remixes commissioned by the label that accompanied its release. Labels do this to guarantee a hit for all tastes and it shows that they're testing the waters. While there are a few really solid Future House remixes of this track, the one that tops every DJ's list is the remix by Purple Disco Machine (featured here). You may remember that Party Favorz was the first to feature a Legacy set of PDM's work in late 2018. Ever since I heard his remix of Hercules & Love Affair's "Do You Feel the Same" in the HBO series "Looking," I was hooked. Fast forward a year later and PDM is everywhere and in high demand. I'm not saying that this site alone pushed him into the stars but I'd like to think that we (I) had a helping hand in his success. Additionally, Sam Smith dropped a remake of Donna Summer's techno-disco classic "I Feel Love," which is blowing up just about every dancefloor around the globe — gay and straight. The track is a promotional tool for Target but I wouldn't know because I don't have cable. Honestly, who cares because this song is the fucking bomb! To be fair, lead singer Jimmy Sommerville of Bronski Beat fame got there first as far back as 1983 but we're talking about a 4-decade-old song that was ahead of its time when it was released and is now being reintroduced (I might add very respectfully) to an entirely new generation. In addition, there are other disco tracks in this set Jax Jones and Years & Years "Play," which is given the PDM treatment as well as the fabulous "I Don't Need Love" by Karen Hardin & Wh0, where Mark Knight and Michael Gray perform the remix duties. Taken in total, expect to be hearing more of this and less Reggaeton, Moonbatan, and likely even Trap as we get into the summer of next year. YOU. HEARD. IT.

In deciding what makes the cut, Party Favorz pulls from Billboard's Year-End charts in Dance Club Songs, Hot Dance Electronic Songs, Hot 100 Songs, and I pull several of my personal favorites from the year that deserve to be included. Billboard allots points to songs based on the number of weeks they remain on their charts. Typically, it's one point a week, bonus points for entering the Top 10, and then they're assigned higher point values for each position they hold in the Top 10. It's entirely possible that a song that never even hits the top of any of their charts still ranks high for the year due to longevity on the charts. Much like the Academy Awards, there's a cut-off date at the end of November of each year. Because Party Favorz understands people's memories align with when a song is getting heavy rotation in clubs or dance radio, we also pull from the charts leading up to the last week before Christmas. For instance, Tiesto & Mabel's "God Is a Dancer" just hit the top spot today and is included. As a result, you'll likely notice the same songs hit our year-end retrospectives two years in a row. Ariana Grande's "Thank U, Next" was so massively popular that it generated ongoing club and radio play through the first half of 2019 despite peaking in 2018. Other tracks that are included are massive songs on the Hot 100 that may or may not even chart on the Dance Club chart but are so popular — they generate a plethora of authorized and bootleg remixes. It would be blasphemous to leave these tracks out because of the demand for them on dance floors and the overall impact they have on popular culture. If we're going to paint a complete picture, their inclusion is mandatory. DANCE CLUB ARTISTS OF THE YEAR Speaking of Ariana Grande, she was the top Dance Club artist of the year. The top 10 Dance Club artists are featured as the cover art for this first volume. they feature, Calvin Harris, David Guetta, Madonna, Kendra Erika, Ava Max, Mark Ronson, Bleona, Fisher, and P!nk. I disagree with two of them, but points gave them that position so who am I to argue? HOW THIS PODCAST STARTED Party Favorz started right at the time the presidential elections began to heat up as Democrats narrowed their choices down to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards in 2007. Three elections and two presidents later, we're still here right after the impeachment of (not my president) Trump. During this period, Party Favorz has been part of the revolution in technology like gigabit internet, the iPhone,

Even with the shifting genre tides in dance music, there's always room for some darker songs that break through and become monster hits in their own right. FISHER's surprise hit "Losing It" was released in July 2018 and then had a steady rise to the top of Beatport's dance charts where it ruled for over a month. Shortly after — it made a steady climb up Billboard's Dance Club charts finally nesting the number one spot last year. Spurring a mass amount of mashups and bootlegs, the song was so popular — it ranked again as one of the top tracks for 2019.  It was an unlikely candidate for such a monster hit but the infectious deep beats and repetitive refrain just stuck to our brains like super glue. FISHER followed that up with the equally dark "You Little Beauty" which samples (once again) the fabulous Loleatta Holloway making it his second #1 dance club hit. You could say he's had a very good year and a half. One of the most mesmerizing and infectious dark tracks of the year is "Piece Of Your Heart" by Meduza featuring Goodboys. This song is an earworm that burrows into your brain and takes up residence while on repeat. Meduza followed up this monster hit with the same song but this time featuring the added vocals of Becky Hill in a reworked version called "Lose Control." That version also topped the charts later in the year. I'm not certain, but this may be the first time two different versions of the same song topped any chart — but, I could be wrong. HOT DANCE ELECTRONIC SONGS The artwork for volume two of the Year In Dance features the top Hot Dance Electronic Songs Artists. This is a chart that I only muse with passing interest as it usually has some overlap with the Dance Club charts but is geared more towards streaming, and YouTube streams than anything else to compile its listings. Billboard has multiple sub-category charts under this, which frankly is redundant. This particular chart is important in that it features top songs that fare poorly on the Dance Club chart but often have more uptempo House versions that accompany them. Marshmello appears to hit all the charts (including Top 40), while The Chainsmokers frat boy electronic dance music generally rules this chart, sometimes Top 40 but not Dance Club. The chart itself is often stale and lists songs that are over a year old — generally because of their ongoing streaming numbers. Since a few of the Top 10 artists in this category never crossed over to Dance Club or were riding high from last year's releases — I threw out three of them and pi...

THE EMO-FICATION OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC With few exceptions and the trend to a happier Disco sound as discussed in Volume 1 of this year's recap — the overall feel in electronic and club music is generally fairly dark. A lot of the music has been emofied even when its original format is aimed at the dance floor. The biggest artist of the year Post Malone has made an entire career out of it. With one of Malone's biggest hits "Circles" capping off the end of this set — it pretty much sums up the entire genre. There's nothing wrong with that and the moodiness of much of the music squares well with the current generation that's growing up in a tumultuous time. That's not to say any of these songs are political — because they aren't. The very issues that affect the mood and mindset of the current generation like gun control, global warming, student debt, ongoing wars, racism, and on and on are sadly missing in today's music. From the Boomer rebellion of the 60s to the GenX political activism of Punk Rock, New Wave, and Alternative Rock from the 80s and 90s — the very issues that stress the current generation of Millennials and GenZ are sorely missing. Instead, everything is about feelings and relationships. This isn't meant to be interpreted as criticism but merely an observation. We know you guys give a shit about these things - so bare your soul in the music and frankly open it up to true Rock 'N' Roll again. More than anything, it's the big corporate labels that need to get with the program because I'm banking there's a massive underground market somewhere waiting to be exploited. Granted, there's always room for all types of genres and styles from silly love songs, and personal testimonies to fun carefree disco and political discourse in our music. They just haven't figured out how to make it work because the music industry as a whole, is run by a bunch of mindless clone machines. I digress. IT'S ALL ABOUT DANCE MUSIC If you haven't figured it out yet, Party Favorz (more specifically me writing in the 3rd person), is a walking encyclopedia of popular music. I've devoured it ever since I was a kid.  As you well know — Party Favorz is about escapism and having a good time. It's about perking you up during those long commutes to and from work, it fuels your workouts, it's the soundtrack to your pool parties and gatherings with friends and it's likely the thing that gets you pumped while getting ready to go out for a night on the town. If you've found other creative ways to make use of these mixes...

For the uninitiated, the annual Blow Your Own Horn series features some of the biggest dance club tracks of the year reworked as massive dance floor bangers to keep the party going. This year's set is no different but I've thrown in a little funky twist here and there as a preview of what's heading your way in the new year. If you're wondering why I'm only now dropping this set — it's because I spent the last week of the year in the hospital with appendicitis. The tracks had already been compiled and just needed to be mixed. Even after I got out, I had several issues that prevented me from focusing and getting the job done. Better late than never. I do plan on taking the next couple of weeks off to finish recuperating and will reemerge with the final sets of the Essential 80's Dance Mix, at least a couple of Legacy entries, and something out of leftfield that will fit in nicely with the Trash Disco series. Then, I'll start rolling out fresh sets from our most popular series like Dance Club, Circuit Tribal House, Funky House, and The Underground in February. I didn't create an intro like I normally do for this set and just picked a track and moved on from there. It heats up by the third track and is fairly relentless from there.  There are tons of never before heard bootlegs and mashups in this set to keep your mind, body, and soul engaged. If this isn't your cup of tea — then I highly recommend the Year In Dance 2019, which features the more palatable commercial dance club tracks of the year. Also, it appears I forgot Ariana Grande's "7 Rings" for which I had several great candidates for this set but shit happens. I'll give this set a B+ compared to previous efforts only because I haven't had the time to preview it. If there are any mistakes, it's up to you guys to point them out so I can go back and fix them. There shouldn't be but it occasionally happens during the export process. Until the next time...ENJOY! I want to give a MASSIVE shoutout to our good friend Anthony for his overly generous donation. I wasn't asking for money when I posted on Facebook about my health issues but that money helped pay for a lot of copays and was more helpful than you'll ever know. Thank you so much!

I generally find that releasing anything too early is generally regurgitated versions of top dance music that was already building momentum going into the new year with a few new entries. By waiting a bit longer, the overall releases begin to slowly drip out giving Future Nostalgia something new and fresh overall. I was surprised at the dark tone of many of these songs heading into 2020. It's not bad per say — but I'd prefer a brighter and happier tone. Perhaps it's the mood of the country in these dark times in this divisive election year. All I know is that folks could really benefit from some uplifting house music.  Hopefully, they'll start rolling out before the Winter Music Conference in Miami. Then again, their award nominations are absolute bullshit where they pay homage to many unknown talent or has beens over and over each year. It's nauseating. THIS IS WHERE IT'S AT Overall, Future Nostalgia features a diverse offering of great music but there are two tracks that I've been all over since their release (okay three). The first is "Good Time Girl" by Sofi Tukker featuring Charlie Baker. One of my go-to shows at the moment is HBO's "The New Pope." They've always intertwined current tracks into this satirical take on the papacy and this year's opener is the latest groove by the college besties. The opening credits feature a bunch of nuns dressed in see-through nightgowns grinding and undulating before a glowing cross. Each opening scene is different but features the same pulsating and hypnotic song. I literally never get tired of it. While their low-budget video has garnered over 4 million views on YouTube, Ultra Music has not serviced this track to DJs nor released any accompanying remixes, which I find odd. This is a hit through and through and should be force-fed to radio and clubs globally. Yeah, it's that good. The other two tracks are Madonna's "I Don't Search I Find," which currently tops Billboard's Dance Club charts. There's a plethora of remixes that were commissioned for this song but it's the late entry from Kue that's got me wound up. He takes the track and underscores it with a sleazy disco grind that gives the song more urgency. In fact, I think this should have been the original conception for the song. The closest comparison would be Giorgio Moroder's production of Donna Summer's "Love To Love You Baby" without the 1,000 orgasms.  Purple Disco Machine takes a similar approach with his rework of the Mark Ronson and Yebba collaboration "Don't Leave Me Lonely,"  which hits all the right notes.

Between the website move, GoDaddy server issues forcing me to move elsewhere and still trying to keep up with posts, I can honestly say I’m feeling the burn, as in OUT. Pt. 2 of the Summer Hot Mess will go up on Friday and I still have the 2014 Summer Edition ready to go next week for the circuit boys.  After that, I plan on taking an extended break from the site to work on some other projects, focus on work and possibly enjoy some of life’s little pleasures, which are far and few between these days. This doesn’t mean I’m going anywhere, but I just feel the need to step back for a bit.  Regardless, ya’ll still have the promised sets going up to fulfill your summer escapism.  Until Friday …ENJOY!

Picking up where pt. 1 left off, the Summer Hot Mess pt. 2 relies heavily on current EDM smashes and several that will soon be.  Charli XCX makes a mid-summer bid with Boom Clap, a song that is already heating up at radio and will soon explode on the world’s dance floors with the Cahill remix.  Paramore drops a little disco-pop on us with their latest Ain’t It Funny, a personal favorite. The sleeper hit of the summer has got to go to Joywave’s Tongues.  The original is a fun low-tech 80s throwback with a hilarious video to back it up.  The remixes by Sted-E & Hybrid Heights and DJ Laszlo take it to a whole new level.  Once those bouncy beats kick in, you’re hooked in a loop that you won’t get out of your head for days. Robin Thicke’s Forever Love is a plea for forgiveness for sticking his dick in just about anything on two legs.  It’s likely a smart move on his part to help prevent his ex from bleeding him financially, then again I digress.  Jennifer and Nicki make a show with their new offerings (both of which I’d cast a shoulder of ambivalence towards).  Capital Cities follows up their massive 2013 hit Safe and Sound with One Minute More, which is another excellent slice of summer electro-pop. We also have proven staples like Matthew Koma’s Wasted, Rita Ora’s I Will Never Let You Down and Calvin Harris’ Summer.  You’ll notice that R3hab, who has been cleansing his remixes lately with a more polished tone has remixed all three of these songs lending him more commercial cred, while still allowing him to burn the barn down with the same songs in his live performances.  A very smart move if you ask me. Cosmic Dawn’s remix of Beyonce’s XO is the perfect example of cell phones lighting up the night in a nice slow sway during a live performance.  Why his version was not pushed to radio still mystifies me.  Finally, DJ Taj created a mandatory mashup of Am I Wrong by Nico & Vinz.  To be honest, this is by far the best remix of this song I’ve heard so far.  Using piece’s of Syn Coles remix of Find You by Zedd and Matthew Koma, DJ Taj manages to give this lilting summer smash some dance floor wings without demolishing the original. You can pick up a copy for free on his Facebook page here. The 2K14 Summer Edition for the circuit boys appears to be in great shape as I put the finishing touches on it.  I’ll likely have those two sets out early this next week so I can take...

At this point, all students are getting an extended spring break but are either breaking the rules (see the photo attached to this post) or are going stir-crazy locked up in their apartments or parent's home. Party Favorz has the cure for your pandemic blues and went out of our way to not only give you the hottest dance club tracks riding high at the moment but a slew of what we think will be some in the running for songs of the summer. Too soon you say? Nope. Songs currently in contention are Camila Cabello's "My Oh My," Ladi Rosa's "Ain't No Taylor Swift," The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights," Lady Gaga's "Stupid Love," Meduza featuring Shells "Born To Love," Demi Lovato's "I Love Me," Dua Lipa's "Physical," and Doja Cat's irresistible "Say So" among others. We usually don't pull tracks that have been serviced to DJs in the original form with an intro/outro because usually the BPM is too slow for these sets but have made an exception given the current circumstances to give everyone more entertainment value. Don't worry, I made it work. With over 3 hours of non-stop top dance club hits there's enough variety here to keep your attention span from drifting while fueling your at-home workouts. UPDATED CLASSICS STILL TRENDING As has been the case for the past several sets, DJs are digging in the crates and updating classics (many of which go on to top the charts). Sometimes they use the original vocals, other times they pluck someone new to sing it, while other times they're sampling familiar beats (to me and many of you) and turning them into new songs. In fact, some of these songs will likely end up in our annual Gay Anthems for a New Generation set in June. This set features Erasure's "A Little Respect 2020," AZ2A x Keepin It Heale's "Genie in a Bottle," (Christina Aguilera), Sound of Legend "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" (Eurythmics), Kelis vs. Diplo "Milkshake," Klass "Mr. Saxobeat," Gala "Free From Desire," where the original 90s version was just included on the The Ultimate Eurodance Collection volume 2 from the 90s, ABBA vs. Freekack "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight), and Cheesecake Boys "Funky Monday" which riffs off the New Order classic "Blue Monday." Hell, even 80s teen idol Debbie Gibson is back with the new song "Girls Night Out," which is currently sitting at #4 on Billboard's Dance Club chart and is likely to hit #1 in the next few weeks. PERFECTION TAKES TIME If you wonder why it took me so long to get this set out it's because we've been culminatin...

This latest edition of the EDM Sessions is jammed packed with smoking tunes with a hefty portion coming from bootlegs.  Hailing from Spain, Jad Desenchannetee kicks it off with his Dave Aude mashup of Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off.”  I have never been a fan of Miss Swift but her latest single (coupled with the self-deprecating video) is a bouncy throwback to the 60s and frankly just a lot of fun.  With no official remixes for her hit, Jad’s mashup hits all the right notes and frankly, you don’t really need any more than this.  His intuitions are so good, I also picked up his mashup of Meghan Trainor's mega-catchy hit “All About the Bass.” Speaking about the bass, what the hell is going on with all these songs about plump juicy peaches? You got Nicki’s x-rated hit “Anaconda,” which heavily samples the 90s hit “Baby Got Back,” J-Lo and Iggy have a duet out along those lines and even our girl Erika Jayne who is back with her next number one PAINKILLER, though that song has nothing to do about the bass, but her cover art for the single sure does LOL.  I never even realized Erika had so much going on but honey BRING IT! Disclosure’s “Latch” featuring Sam Smith has been a massive hit but never serviced any proper mixes (likely because it’s perfect all by itself).  That didn’t stop a multitude of DJs from trying their best to remix it.  Sadly, all but two were an epic fail.  Early out of the winner’s gate is Norman Doray and his massive electro-house interpretation but the hands-down winner goes to the Lost Kings who manage to really hit the sweet spot.  If you haven’t heard their version yet, head on over to their SoundCloud page and check it out, it’s a real treat. Following up on his massive “Summer” hit, Calvin Harris honors us with another shining electro-pop gem and in true fashion only gives us a radio edit and no remixes (though they usually drop a month or so later).  Several folks have already attempted their own take and I was about to give up on it until DJ Tombs’ remix made it across my desk.  Holy SHIT is this remix good!  I gotta tell ya, out of all the crap covers you hear from bootlegs there will always be someone who treats a song with TLC and just nails it!  Just to be clear, I ain’t ragging on all you folks giving it your best; keep at it and you will get better.  Hell, just ask Drew G, cause his Dirty Pop Deconstruction of Ariana Gr...

WHAT'S HOT NOW As usual, this set features alternate versions of previously featured tracks like the super hot "Say So" by Doja Cat, which I had already picked to be one of the biggest tracks of the summer. While the hot temps are already here — summer hasn't even officially begun and yet this song has been perched atop the Billboard's Top 100 for a couple of weeks now. With its funky, feel-good disco build a slew of remixes have finally been commissioned for it with the Division 4 & Matt Consola version featured here. We've got an amazing mashup of The Weeknd's massive "Blinding Lights" with Otto Knows "Million Voices," which was perfectly executed by DJs from Mars. The classic electro house track "Let Me Think About It" by Fredde Le Grand and Ida Corr get's a modern era rework and even Mr. Probz massive "Waves" from a few years back gets its own special treatment by J Bruus & James Jay. Saint Jhn's "Roses," which has been sitting atop Billboard's Hot Dance Electronic Songs finally gets some floor-friendly remixes with the Imanbek remix featured here. Kelly Clarkson surprises with a new and unexpected new track "I Dare You," which under normal circumstances would be galloping it's way to the #1 spot on the Dance Club charts. Alan Walker puts out a sequel to his 2016 hit "Alone" with Ava Max doing vocal duties aptly titled "Alone pt.2"  and the superb collaboration between Major Lazer and Marcus Mumford (of Mumford and Sons) "Lay Your Head On Me" is so exquisite that even I'm surprised out well Mumford's vocals translate over to EDM in this soon to be summer smash. THE PRINCESS OF POP I want to talk about the elephant in the room — Dua Lipa. The woman has released what should have been her breakthrough album "Future Nostalgia" in the U.S. Folks, this is a solid album from the pop princess and while "Don't Start Now" has been a smash by any standard, the subsequent singles "Physical" and the more recent "Break My Heart" are not getting the attention they deserve. Most of this is due to the fact that she can't go out and tour to promote the album until (hopefully) January 2021. Party Favorz is in awe of Miss Lipa and frankly she's poised to take over Rihanna's thrown (who is not likely conceding anytime soon). Please support her music and album by streaming it on your favorite platform — it's totally worth it. Equally, Halsey has been putting out some stellar tracks lately like "You Should Be Sad" and more recently "Be Kind" with Marshmello that are getting buried by...

The annual Catch-Up series features the biggest Dance Club songs from December through June. Either the tracks topped most DJ charts or are personal picks that racked up millions of views on YouTube. Even with Billboard Dance Club charts on current hiatus — the method they use to rank their songs is seriously flawed because it all depends on what type of venue the DJs report from that determines their popularity. That's where our expertise in picking the hits comes in. Dua Lipa leads the pack for best dance club songs of the year I say this only because there were several really dark and not exactly overwhelming songs that topped that chart earlier this year. Most are included save one. Party Favorz pulled from Beatport charts, YouTube tallies, and personal picks, which puts Dua Lipa ahead of the pack. Her "Don't Start Now" reached #2 on the Top 100 and #1 on the Dance Club charts and has been hovering in the Top 100 for over 33 weeks making it not only a contender for one of the biggest songs of the year but for the summer. Due to the pandemic and her inability to tour and promote her new and highly underrated album "Future Nostalgia," the label has been furiously releasing track after track and commissioning remixes for them to see what sticks. "Physical" and "Break My Heart" (currently climbing the charts) are pure pop pleasures and the remixes that have accompanied them are stellar. Purple Disco Machine leads the pack for best DJ of the year Another DJ that shows up a lot here is Purple Disco Machine. There's no doubt that his brand of throwback Disco House is striking a nerve among dance enthusiasts making him one of the most in-demand DJs in the business. Party Favorz would like to think we had a hand in his success when we released "Catching Up with Purple Disco Machine" back in 2018 realizing that this guy was the one to watch. As usual - we were right. Songs of the summer All the contenders for "song of the summer" are contained here including Doja Cat's irresistible "Say So" (which we picked back in March to hit big), DaBaby and Roddy Rich's "Rockstar," Megan Thee Stallion's "Savage," The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights," Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande's "Rain On Me," Drake's "Tootise Slide," Justin Bieber and Quavo's "Intentions," Roddy Ricch's "The Box," Post Malone's "Circles," Harry Styles "Adore You," SAINT JHN's "Roses," and many more. All your favorite club bangers from the past 6 months are here and we dropped the personal favorite "Good Time Girl" by Sofi Tukker mainly because it was released last year and was given new life as the...

If you've been searching for the one true party mix to light your fire — then you've arrived at your destination. The resurrection of a goddess — Tina Turner After having massive success with the resurrection of the buried gem "Higher Love" by Whitney Houston — Kygo is back again and sweetened the pot. He's reinvigorated the Tina Turner mid-80s monster classic "What's Love Got To Do With It" and turned it into a reggaeton summer monster. It's not clear if Tina (at 80 years old) was involved in this project but it seems likely. There are some runs in this version that were not part of the original release unless they were part of the original acapella in the masters vault. It doesn't really matter because he dusts this track off and gives it a modern-day spin that would put it in contention for song of the summer. The newest and hottest dance club songs Surf Mesa and Emilee have heated up the Electronic Dance Charts with Ily (I Love You Baby), which is a rework of the original Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons hit, which was turned into a #1 disco hit by Boys Town Gang, a #1 Dance Club song by Pet Shop Boys and a soothing hip hop twist by Lauryn Hill among many others. Here, Topic turns their laid-back version into a dance-floor-ready house number. Other personal treats here for your summer listening pleasure are Sammy Porter's "Evissa, You & Me," HOSH, 1979 and Jalja's "Midnight (The Hanging Tree)," Vize and Tom Gregory's "Never Let Me Down," Purple Disco with Sophie and the Giants "Hypnotized," Alesso and Liam Payne's "Midnight," and the return of Toni Braxton with the help of Dave Audé on her funky "Dance." As predicted, Gorgon City and Soffi Tukker's "House Arrest" is topping just about every DJ list out there, while Gorgon City isn't letting up and just dropped "Nobody" with the indie group Drama. This is going to be another massive song but more so for the dub version included here, which takes the original and gives it that deep house mystique GC is known for. Wait until you hear the Sam Girling Tech House mix, which is slated for the next Peak Hour set and takes the song to a whole new level. Perhaps the one that's really got me sucked in is Kenzie and Sia's "Exhale." The Hook n Sling remix on this is pure perfection and will certainly raise the temperature on any dance floor already boiling over. As of this writing — there's only a radio version but no extended nor remixes of this fantastic song but it's HOT and gonna be BIG! Bootlegs and mashups that keep it interesting As part of our continuing expansion to diversify and kee...

This retains the similar formula of previous releases where you get the latest dance tracks, bootleg remixes of past dance classics and familiar samples of from past monster hits. It’s all here. I have been inundated with internal and external issues lately forcing me to run a little behind. While everything on the sit is running great — Google has very specific criteria for what they feel is an optimize website and keep changing the goal post. The search results for Party Favorz had been dropping steadily so I’ve had to make a ton of changes on the back-end to make this site Google-friendly — especially for mobile. Never mind that this site scores 98 on all other metrics and is blazing fast  — Google wants developers to squeeze every last ounce of juice from your website predominantly for people still on 3G networks throughout the world. While not necessarily my customer — when it hurts my rankings and bottom line — I’ve got to step up to the plate to meet their challenge. The work is almost complete but you may experience some slow down over the next 24 hours while I finish up on the back end. All I’ll say is that the changes I’m making are already having a major positive impact so I know I’m heading in the right direction. Anyway, that’s the gist of everything on the internal and the external issues are not your concern. Just know that I’m on top of everything and releases will continue to flow from here on out.

This set is jam-packed with EDM, House Music, Disco House, Bootlegs, and Mashups with just enough spooky fun elements to fulfill its title. The Spofitication of dance music I have to say that it's becoming more difficult to compile these commercial dance sets since the shutdown of venues across the nation. Typically I rely on a variety of factors to create these sets. First, I look at Billboard's Dance Club charts to see what other DJs across the country are laying down, I look at Beatport and Traxsource charts to see where underground and disco tracks are crossing over, I peruse the Billboard Top 100 for those commercial hits that weren't necessarily created for the dancefloor but some enterprising up and coming DJ has generated a masterful bootleg of, I look at YouTube music trends and of course, I look at the DJ services internal charts to see what are the hottest tracks everyone is jumping on before they go wide scale. Two other elements are my internal gut feeling about a song, which comprises about a 1/3 of all tracks included in a set, and the Billboard Electronic Dance Music chart, which I have a love/hate relationship with. Much like the Billboard Top 100, this chart's rankings are heavily weighted towards streaming service plays form Spotify and Apple Music. The rest is based on sales and radio play both of which carry less weight. This has resulted in two things: 1) Many artists just release single after single generating buzz, play, and revenue while forgoing the traditional album release. In fact, boutique labels have developed a whole business model around this and many of these stellar tracks never make it into the DJ pool or Beatport. 2) Bigger artists still put out albums because there's still money in sales both physical and non-physical. At the same time, they game the system by dropping everything at once flooding these charts with mediocre songs and a couple of stellar ones that may or may not even reach the top of those charts but still generates significant amounts of revenue for them. We've seen it with Drake and Chainsmokers. In particular, Chainsmokers are still a big draw but by dumping everything all at once, they end up with 12 songs on the Electronic Dance Music chart even though none are massive hits. It dilutes the chart and drowns stellar songs by new artists that struggle to break through. The other end of this is that the songs on this chart rarely get remixes unless someone creates a bootleg. In fact, many aren't really dance songs at all so the entire chart is a bit of a mystery to me. After all,

The lies, the graft, the shredding of the Constitution, the misogyny, the xenophobia, the racism, the homophobia, the ableism, the lack of intellectual curiosity, and the denial of science could no longer sustain themselves before the American people had the last word. We still have more work to do in my home state of Georgia where we have two Senators that are in a run-off on January 5th. We must get Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock elected to give Joe Biden a running start to enact the legislation we voted him in for. With a Supreme Court conservative majority — they're teeing up the lawsuits that will affect everything from healthcare to LGBTQ rights. For those that don't understand our fucked-up electoral system — Republicans still have a path to override the will of the people. I'm not even going to entertain it because that would guarantee an outright civil war. For now, I'm here for the win and just want to celebrate the record number of people who came out to vote. Celebrate 2021 consists of six decades of party tracks remixed for today's dancefloor. There's something for everyone here. My only regret was having to leave so many great songs on the cutting room floor before this got out of hand. This set is being offered for free because I want everyone to enjoy the spoils of victory. ENJOY! This was done in one take and I haven't had the time to preview it.

Jingle Electric is our annual final Dance Club set of the year featuring the latest commercial dance hits. However, since releases have slowed down since the summer — I decided to merge elements of the Peak Hour series and a couple of Disco House tracks to flesh it out to what turned out to be one of the most ambitious sets released this year. It's starts our a bit moody with John Legend's "Wild," which in the capable hands of Meduza doesn't quite give that EPIC drive you'd expect but gives us an idea on how this song can be transformed by more seasoned remixers. It's still good and a solid opener to the simmering build-up that follows. Scour the list and the hits will stand out to you but it's everything in-between that's the glue holding everything together. There's quite a bit of solid Tech House tracks like Moreno Pezzolato's "Sexy Back" (yes, Justin Timberlake), Technasia & Green Velvet's "Suga," Bingo Players, Felguk & Fafaq's update of the Nomad 1991 House classic "(I Wanna Give You) Devotion," Kevin McKay & Milos Pesovic's "Work It" (yes, Missy Elliot), Afterman's party house update to the 1950's (yup) "Tequila" originally performed by The Champs and Moreno Pezzolato's "Lose My Breath" (yes, Destiny's Child) along with modern updates of Beyonce's "Crazy In Love" and Flo Rida's "Low." There's so much goodness here that I may have sapped all of the Blow Your Own Horn madness scheduled for release in a few weeks but I'll figure it out. Perhaps one of my favorites in this group is John Summit & Guz's "Thin Line," which updates another 90's House classic "People Hold On" by Coldcut and Lisa Stansfield. This song is apropos for these dark times and with it's signature deep house groove is a perfect fit today's madness. Even with all this — Party Favorz isn't quite done yet. We've still got a brand-spanking new Disco House scheduled to drop this weekend before launching into our annual Top Dance Club Songs of the Year quickly followed by Blow Your Own Horn. Anyone thinking I'm just skating by needs to get their head adjusted because Party Favorz has become a 60 - 70 hour work week for this one man show. Weather looks mighty great for this coming weekend in the southeast and I hope things hold up where you're at. I'll be back this weekend. Until then...ENJOY!

This series features the biggest dance hits of the year and this year starts to shake things up. Not since 2015 has the Top Dance Songs of the Year been this diverse in its offerings. The entire dance music scene is finally beginning to shake loose from its tight-knit structure to more loosely reflect a wider variety of genres. Nowhere is this evident than in the resurgence of Disco. That's not to say that Disco music was the end-all this year but its reemergence hit at the right time. The 1970s and early 80s were considered a time of decadence and escapism from a downtrodden economy, long gas lines, and high unemployment, and Disco was the perfect escape to ease people's anxiety. Enter stage left Dua Lipa. It's been said that Dua Lipa's sophomore effort "Future Nostalgia" was an iffy proposition for the young singer as it didn't fit in with what was being played on radio. However, she wasn't interested in making another "New Rules" set of songs and just wanted to make people feel good. After a live session was leaked online, she was forced to release the album earlier than the original pushed-back timetable due to Covid. The gamble paid off in a BIG way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oygrmJFKYZY "Future Nostalgia" received rave reviews (even from this writer) and was an uplifting breath of fresh air at a time when everyone had gone into lockdown. In short, it was just what the doctor ordered. Now she's received a record six nominations for "Don't Start Now" and "Future Nostalgia" — the gamble has paid off. Equally exciting is the continued acceleration of DJ and music producer Purple Disco Machine. Party Favorz has been excited about the German native's work and featured him in a Legacy series because it was evident the man was going places. As usual, I was right because he's literally been all over the place in 2020 and is now branching out. He features prominently in the Top Dances Songs of 2020 and the future looks bright for PDM and Party Favorz looks forward to the continued promotion of his work. In the next installment, I'll discuss the darker side of the year's biggest dance hits as well as the daunting task of compiling all the tracks that round out this set. I'm in a bit of a rushed mood to get these out in time. It took a week to pull everything together and then narrow down the tracks that would be used. However, it took one day to put this first set together, and should be smooth sailing from here on out. I'll be back on Saturday with volume 2 of the Top Songs of 2020. Until then...

Party Favorz is back with volume two of the Top Dance Songs of 2020 and this one digs deeper. One of the constraints of 2020 is the pandemic resulted in clubs and venues shutting down. Billboard's Dance Club chart is based on select DJ responses to track and create that chart and without input — the chart was suspended in March. "Love Hangover 2020" by Diana Ross was the last song to top that chart back in March before its demise. Leave it to the queen to have the last word. While I use charts as a basis for compiling my year-end sets — they aren't the final word; rather a guide. Usually, I use a variety of charts that differ significantly like Billboard's Dance Club, Electronic Dance Music, and Top 100 charts to compile these sets. This year, I added Beatport, Spotify, and YouTube streams as a basis for making my decisions on what's included in the Top Dance Songs of 2020. There is some consistency in that they all tend to agree on the top 10 - 20 songs but differ wildly from there. "Roses" by SAINt JHN (Imanbek Remix) has topped everyone's list. But, "Rain On Me" by Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande, "ily" by surf mesa featuring Emilee, "Ride It." by Regard, "Breaking Me" by Topic & A7S, "Higher Love" by Kygo and Whitney Houston, "Head & Heart" by Joel Corry X MNEK, "Secrets" by Regard & RAYE, and "Don't Stop Now" by Dua Lipa have been fairly consistent on most of their year-end charts. From there, everything wildly differs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zToEPpFEN8 That's where YouTube comes into play. I look at the total number of views for videos and then cross reference the charts to base my decisions. Everyone can reasonably disagree on the inclusion of certain songs but Party Favorz attempts to hit all the high notes of the year as long as they had a certain amount of impact on the listener. That and my personal favorites will always be included. You'll also notice some carryover from 2019. Songs that were massive the previous year that continued to chart and were in heavy rotation on radio or in the clubs (for a while) and songs that were released in late 2019 but hadn't peaked until the next year but already had enough impact to be included on both year-end charts. Ultimately, I decide what gets included and frankly, you won't find a more comprehensive compilation for any given year in dance music than Party Favorz. My goal is to provide you with a soundtrack to your life at any given moment in time the Top Dance Songs of 2020 is the defenitive time capsule. As a result, I always recommend you download and store these sets because 10 - 20 years from now, you'll be glad you did.

This final volume has a more laidback feel overall and that's because many of the tracks included in these sets are pop hits that were never intended for the dance floor. Nevertheless, the songs are culturally important and resonate with so many people that it's inevitable the label either commissions official remixes or aspiring DJ/producers remix the tracks for their own sets. You'd think that with everything on lockdown, there wouldn't be that much great dance club music but far from it. That's not to say that there was as much during the second half of the year but we still had more than enough to fill our typical three-volume year-end series. If anything positive came out of 2020 — it would be musical styles in popular and dance music have started to give way to more diversity in their offerings. I realize that many of the songs in this series rely heavily on a formulaic Future House sound and the likes of Joel Corry, J Bruus, Colin Jay, Cosmic Dawn, Division 4 & Matt Consola, Ray Isaac, and Charlie Lane have perfected that sound but to their credit — they're serving up dance floor earworms for tracks that otherwise would never get remixed. Probably one of the most exciting remixes this year was for WAP by DJ Ranny. Yes, there were several unofficial remixes out there but none added to the excitement and party nature of the song. When Ranny sent his take over — I was bowled over as I immediately knew he hit a home run! It's a shame it couldn't have been enjoyed more on dance floors across the globe because it was a surefire winner. I think Dua Lipa tapped into something with the direction of music by digging into the 70s Disco, 80s Dance, and 90s House Music to create a feel-good escape on her sophomore effort "Future Nostalgia." Doja Cat equally did a great job of keeping our heads nodding to a slinky disco beat. Don't be surprised if Madonna finally — after all these years of begging her — goes back to her roots and delivers a carefree album that taps into the energy of her debut album. I'll lay down good money on it. In the interim, I hope everyone is enjoying this mega time capsule of the year 2020 with all the good, bad and ugly this year will be known for decades to come. We have one more set to close the year out and I'll do my best to make it one roof-raising floor scorcher for all my party people. Until then...ENJOY!

That doctor went on to become the Republican nominee for the House and lost his ass in a major landslide. In fact, our entire district in GA flipped from red to blue all the way down to dog catcher. While I ripped him a new one (after the operation because I'm not stupid) and embarrassed the living shit out of him in front of his colleagues, I took some solace in the grifter's epic loss. Little did I know at the time that the new year was only going to get worse save that single glimpse of hope during the election. There's no doubt that 2020 will go down as one of the most memorable if not worst years on record. Surprisingly, dance music has been a shiny beacon atop the hill providing stability if not sanity. 2020 is the year of the Disco comeback, which provided a bit of escapism to the new daily routines that were mapped out by mother nature. Dua Lipa's "Don't Start Now" kicked it off to great applause that was quickly followed by Doja Cat ("Say So") and Lady Gaga ("Rain On Me"). Surprisingly, these songs and/or albums were already in the can before the pandemic hit and acted as a breath of fresh air for our current stale musical landscape. Talk about foresight. It was also the year that dance music became more reflective as songs like "ily (i love you baby)" by Surfa Mesa, "Secrets" by Regard & Raye, "Breaking Me" by Topic & A75 and "Looking For Me" by Paul Woolford, Diplo & Kareen Lomax stepped up to massive success where MEDUZA, Becky Hill and Goodboys left off at the end of 2019 with "Lose Control." For such a shitty year, dance music had a lot to offer in these sobering times. The Blow Your Own Horn series generally acts as the last kiss-off to the current year while welcoming the incoming one. Most of the year's biggest hits included in this set have been mashed-up with the octave level turned-up high. There's a few new notable tracks and bucket load of classics that have been juiced-up and reimagined with 10 servings of Monster drinks. The energy level is purposely high which should give rise to saying one final FUCK YOU to the year we'd sooner forget. I want to thank each and everyone of you who have continued to support our mission to bring you the finest in dance music — you mean the world to me. I wish you all a very healthy, happy and prosperous new year. Until next year...

Jam packed with the biggest dance hits, this set is the one y'all have been waiting for. I'm not going to go into too much detail here but I will discuss the inevitable remix for Olivia Rodrigo's massive "Drivers License." Unless you've been living under a rock — this song escaped all the other noise in pop music to top the charts for several weeks and rightfully so. With it's driving 80's synth and personal lyrics — Miss Rodrigo has become an overnight sensation. While there are no official remixes for this song — there are several stellar bootleg remixes. My choice for this set was unusual in that it doesn't fit neatly into the commercial Future House fair we see for this type of song. In stead, I went with newcomer (?) David Michael's "Late Night Drive" remix, which doesn't follow the conventional rule of short but sweet. His remix is an epic 8+ minutes long set to a simple house beat but the riff he uses will sound very familiar to most of you. It took me awhile to figure out that this was actually "The Promise" by When In Rome that was stripped of the synths in favor of the aforementioned house beat with a delicate touch of piano that's familiar to the When In Rome classic. Come to think of it, the original relies on an 80's synth to drive the emotional track and a modernized version of the instrumental version of "The Promise" would likely mash well together. The length of the song doesn't bother me at all. If anything, the build-up is well worth the wait. I'm certain that more conventional remixes for this song will appear in future versions of this series so no worries if this isn't what you're expecting. Another worthy entry is the closing Tears For Fears classic remake "Mad World" by Timmy Trumpet & Gabry Ponte. This is kinda of a New Trance/Bass House hybrid that stays true to the beauty of the original while modernizing the song in such a chaotic time. It really is quite spectacular and deserves more attention than it's currently receiving. The rest of the set speaks for itself as I painstakingly poured through countless promos to put this all together. I'm am currently on a roll and just finished the next Disco House installment set to drop Saturday. I'll be starting on the next Peak Hour set today. Until then...ENJOY!

So, consider this a day late and a dollar short but we're limited by the amount of quality dance promos showing up in our inbox. Frankly, the wait was worth it because this set kicks ass! Spring Break 2021 is a combination of smoking hot tracks that have been riding high since February, classics tracks that have been updated for today's dance scene and several new entries trying to claim their spot on your phone heading into summer. With vaccination rollouts in full force — Party Favorz is anticipating a boom of new post-pandemic tracks to rollout by Summer (fingers crossed). That being said — our goal is to please and this set will definitely provide some sense of normalcy. Yes, it really is that good. Just so y'all know — I'm doing my  best to keep everyone in the zone and focused on better days ahead. Rick and I got our second vaccination in late February but our routine has remained the same. To be honest, he needs to get his ass back to work outside of home because no love in the world can sustain itself in close proximity 24/7. Just sayin. I've already compiled the set list for a brand new Peak Hour set, which will be the perfect companion piece to Spring Break 2021 and will drop next week. That will be followed by the much-delayed Spring Edition 2021 featuring the hottest circuit anthems the following week. Until then...ENJOY!

It's the time for pool parties, the beach and a break from all of life's issues. This summer is a bigger deal only because many parts of the world are coming out of lockdown with more people getting vaccinated making it safer to go out and be amongst friends and (strangers). Sadly, dance music has a bit static with much of the commercial releases sounding the same and lacking in originality. That's not to say there aren't several great gems hidden amongst this 62 song set because there are plenty. This isn't anything new and I bitched about the same thing in 2015 when all the rave was "Deep House," which has gone back to its roots and turned into "Future House," which is now more like "Electro House" and is now just labeled Dance. The labels may change but the originality has stayed flat. Some of the better tunes (especially on the excellent Spring Break 2021), rely on past treasures by sampling the past while creating all new songs for the current generation of party-goers. There's not quite as much lately and that has to do with folks losing inspiration or holding back their work until everything fully opens up. There is one great remix by Purple Disco Machine that's about to drop on the 28th for a new song that's just okay but the remix takes it to another level. I'm expecting this song to explode this summer. I wont' say what it is but it will make an appearance on the 2021 Gay Anthems For a New Generation and the annual Catch-Up towards the end of June. Much of what's contained in Disco House and Peak Hour is beginning to bleed into commercial dance, which is fine. It needs the shakeup but don't worry — that's not going to effect those series. Ultimately, diversity is key to making a great mix but I'm only as good as the musical output at any given moment. I do want to mention that the app I was so proud of which had been working flawlessly through the spring is no longer working. It relies on the Microsoft scripts and there are several issues with it at the moment that are not getting addressed in their forums on Github. Ultimately, I'll have to school myself on hosting it myself for better reliability but since I'm self-taught, that could take awhile. I'll let everyone know once something is reliably in place. We still have a brand new Disco House and Circuit & Anthems releases scheduled for the coming week so be sure to subscribe or follow for the latest updates. Until then...ENJOY!

That's not to say that some mid or late-July releases won't explode that haven't been introduced to the world yet because they always do and most certainly will. However, Catch-Up 2021 gives you the biggest dance club songs of the year that are still riding high on most people's Spotify playlists as well as newcomers that Party Favorz has handpicked to click with house music fans. As usual, we throw in some bootlegs and mashups to keep the party interesting and you won't find anywhere else but everything required for your summer recovery is included in these two sets. Did I say two sets? The musical landscape was so plentiful and diverse that it grew to an unmanageable size requiring us to split this year's entry into two volumes, which are 3+ hours of summer fun spread across both sets. There's a lot to unpack here but after previewing these sets over the past week — we can honestly say that we nailed it! We'll be back tomorrow morning with part 2 of the 2021 Catch-Up.

Let's get started. Anyone with a sense of musical history knows that disco has been all the rage lately but another sound people are missing out on is the resurgence of 80s Dance. Ahh yes, the soundtrack to my life has made its way into your life because...why not. Calvin Harris has been sidestepping his normal house music pop in search of a new sound. By Your Side (with Tom Grennan) reaches back into the annals of 80s pop with "By Your Side." While I have mixed feelings about this song it is making a lot of top-ten playlists on Spotify so it could be a grower. A more catchy 80's throwback with a lot of help from the 90's Punk/Pop supergroup Smash Mouth is from Timmy Trumpet. "Camelot" is another track making inroads and while the use of Smash Mouth might be questionable to some, the song does offer a catchy summer pop hook. Of course, Miley Cyrus has been all about the 80s this year and "Midnight Sky" is one of the year's best along with her duet on "Prisoner" with Dua Lipa (the queen of disco revitalization). The German record producer and DJ Boys Noize (Alexander Ridha) has been around for a while and has produced some big names in music. His latest release with the help of Jake Shears (Scissor Sisters), is a definite 80's throwback complete with low-grade synths from the early part of the decade when New Wave was a thing. However, it's the Purple Disco Machine remix that takes "All I Want" to a whole new level. PDM delivers a sleazy disco groove with his Donna Summer (Love To Love You Baby) meets Barry White delivery making the song a sex-fueled dance floor pleaser that deserves a wider audience. Another surprise is from the fantastic Dirty Disco who seem to have taken on a new direction in their remixes. From circuit to t-dance and now pop productions — the boys from Houston have taken the Olivio Rodrigo send-off to an ex "Deja Vu," which thematically resembles Alanis Morrissette's "You Oughta Know" in its sentiment. They take the song and flip it with a happy pop dancefloor production taking the song to a whole new level. If I were on Rodrigo's team, I'd remix the original in this style and re-release it for another guaranteed #1 because it just works. Finally, you're going to hear two new tracks with very familiar samples that you won't be able to put your finger on. First up is Jax Jones' "Feels" which sample the verse of the early 90s #1 pop/R&B hit "Can't Stop" by After 7. Jones adds a deep underlying bass house rhythm and slightly a...

When I sat down to compile this set list, it was coming up short and frankly a bit homogenous. There haven't been any late summer bombs released and the majority of it was already covered in the two-volume Catch-Up 2021 series, which dropped at the end of June. I had started building my set list for future Disco House and Peak Hour releases but after listening to the newer songs in there, I threw them all in with the Dance Club folder and just let the spirit move me. With over 200 tracks to choose from, I did this all on the fly and chose songs that just flowed making for one of the most diverse sets Party Favorz has released since maybe the annual Blow Your Own Horn series. There's a bit of Future House, EDM, NuDisco, House, Progressive House, and Tech House all fused perfectly in one seamless 4+ hour set leaving you with surprises at every turn. I made sure to include the latest bootlegs, mashups, and updated throwbacks for some familiarity. In short, this is the defacto dance party to close out the summer. As we all know, August is Madonna's birthday month. Though we skipped last year's entries, we're on track to release a four-volume set for you diehard fans this year. They won't all drop in time for her birthday but since the entire month belongs to Madame X, they'll be released accordingly. The plan is to hue closely to the original remixes (with a few bootlegs thrown in for good measure) that reflect her long career atop the dance music charts. We'll start with the 80s and then move forward through the various iterations of her ever-evolving styles up to the current day. These will be the most comprehensive sets released by far featuring our favorite diva. I hope everyone is staying dehydrated because this set is gonna set the house on FIRE!

I was feeling out of sorts for several days and each time I attempted to sit down and put this together, I hit a roadblock right out of the gate. By Thursday, I sat down picked a starting point, and just let the music move me. Though I've only created a one-stop set like this a couple of times before — this is the closest you'll ever get to listen to me live. With 200+ songs to go through, I threw tracks out on the fly while sitting for 4 1/2 hours going from one song to the next. The result is pure magic! So much so, I even impressed myself at how well this set came out. Granted, there are a few songs (while not terrible) I could have left off — overall, I'm very pleased with the end result. The set kicks off with a remake of the Stevie Wonder penned classic 'Tell Me Something Good,' which was a hit back in the seventies for Rufus & Chaka (Khan). This is one of those songs that should give anyone pause trying to remake. I will say that Ewan McVicar did an amazing job reworking it into a firecracker House track. I do question the unusually long build-up before the song picks up steam but it appears to have worked as it's sitting in everyone's Top 20 at the moment. Once you get through the first track, it's all hands on deck and anything goes from there. This is a Halloween dance party worth remembering! I've already compiled the track list for the next Peak Hour set and will start working on that today. Until the next time...ENJOY!

While it's only been a short time since our HW21 set hit the airwaves, we've scoured the latest releases to assemble a set that melds new hits with some bootlegged classics and inventive mashups. Highlights and Crossovers If you loved our last Peak Hour set, "Shiny Disco Balls," you're in for a treat. Several tracks from that mix have broken into mainstream Dance Club charts and have earned a well-deserved spot in Jingle Electric 2022. Matt Sassari's "Give It To Me" and Tiesto & Killfake's "Money" are just a couple of crossover gems that you'll recognize. Fresh Additions This set includes newer hits, like Elton John & Dua Lipa's "Cold Heart" remixed by Claptone which are sprinkled throughout Jingle Electric 2022. Moreover, some Disco House tracks that would have landed on our next Tea Dance set (still a maybe on that release) have also been included, diversifying the Dance Club experience. The Current Dance Club Landscape Jingle Electric 2022 veers away from monotony, featuring an array of reworked classics and future Dance Club favorites like John Summit and Echoes "Human" and Vintage Culture & James Hype's "You Give Me A Feeling." In Summary Jingle Electric 2022 is a solid compilation that we've been grooving to all week. Filled with a mix of guilty pleasures and future Dance Club hits, this set aims to keep the festive spirit alive. Stay tuned, because next week, we're dropping our annual Holiday Edition tailored for the circuit boys. Until the next time...ENJOY!

Despite the challenges, there's a certain group of us who have adapted and coped with the pandemic and the associated isolation in our stride, respecting the necessary precautions to protect ourselves and those around us. Taking a step away from the pandemic talk, let's focus on the main event: Party Favorz presents our annual review of the top dance songs of 2021. This series covers all bases and hits all the right notes. These are the tracks that got you humming along, dancing solo, or accompanying you during your commute. The year saw a steady dominance of Future House, NuDisco, and Tech House, with Big Room House subtly making its presence known. Our collection of the top dance songs of 2021 leaves other compilations in the dust, offering full, unedited versions of the year's biggest and middling hits. Due to a series of end-of-year distractions, this volume is being released without the usual fine-tuning of eliminating errors or swapping track versions. Despite the rush, we promise to return with our annual Blow Your Own Horn helping revelors bring in the New Year dance party style. The final sets for the top dance songs of 2021 will follow shortly into the new year. Until then, immerse yourself in the rhythm and beats of 2021's top dance songs and...ENJOY!

For the past 8 years, this series has been a mainstay on Party Favorz as a way for everyone to give one final fuck you and farewell to the year that was while looking forward to a better future. I have packed this final kiss-off to the rim with bootlegs, mashups, throwbacks, and a boatload of the past year’s biggest dance songs reworked in a way you’d never imagine. As stated previously, the final month of every year has surprises for me that catch me off guard causing monumental headaches and 2021 didn’t let me down. As a result, I’ve been behind the release schedule and I promise to get the remaining Top Dance Songs of the Year 2021 out by the end of the next week. Technically, 2021 isn’t finished with me yet. Afterward, I’ll be building a new computer for which all the parts have already arrived and start work on migrating the podcast over to Apple Music. The last part will take a while because the feed is protected and Podbean doesn’t allow protected content to be migrated even with a username and password (don’t get me started). So, I’ll be setting up everything from scratch. Party Favorz will remain on Podbean so as not to affect our Android and Windows users and there will likely be a secondary website strictly for Apple Music subscribers. The details will be provided at a later date. Frankly, I could use some time off but when I try, I end up starting a new set anyway. All I ask is that you be patient with me while I work on getting everything set up. As you all know, 2023 will be the 15th year for Party Favorz and I’ve got a lot of loose ends, ultimate and essential collections scheduled for release next year. The goal is to wrap up the podcast nicely and tidily with everything on my bucket list checked off. I hope everyone has a fabulous (and safe) New Year celebration. We will get through this pandemic and life will hopefully return to normal in 2023. For now, crank up your speakers and blast the ultimate New Year Dance Party mix at full volume! I’ll see everyone on the other side. Until then…ENJOY! Album: Blow Your Own Horn 2022Genre: EDM, House, Dance, ClubYear: 2020Total Time: 03:25:26 1.

In the dance music landscape, 2021 mirrored the trends of 2020, with Future House, Tech House, and NuDisco persistently dominating the scene, reinforcing their catchy beats into our collective musical psyche. The year 2021 marked the emergence of a new wave of DJs making significant strides. Among them, Chicago's John Summit took center stage with his profound deep house vibes resonating with a wide audience. His popular tracks such as "Sun Came Up" (in collaboration with Sofi Tukker), "Better Than This" (with Parachute Youth), and "Human" (with Echoes) propelled him into stardom, while he still maintained the charm of his 2020 hits "Deep End" and "Thin Line" (with Guz). Another standout artist was Brazil's Vintage Culture (Lukas Rafael Ruiz Hespanhol), who has been in the scene for a bit longer. After achieving a #1 Billboard Dance Club hit "In The Dark" (with Fancy Inc.) in 2019, Vintage Culture became a sought-after name for remix productions. In 2021, he remixed multiple hits including "Love Tonight" by Shouse, "Talamanca" by Burns, "Let It Go" by Louie Vega & The Martinez Brothers and Marc E. Bassy, and "Paradise" by Meduza and Dermot Kennedy. 2021 witnessed the remarkable rise of Joel Corry, who is swiftly occupying the position once dominated by Calvin Harris. Following a #6 hit in the UK with "Sorry" in 2019, he ascended further with #4 "Lonely" and #1 "Head & Heart" with MNEK in 2020, the latter being his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the U.S. Corry remixed numerous tracks in 2021, including the top hits "Bad Habits" by Ed Sheeran, "Tick Tock" by Clean Bandit, "Body" by Megan Thee Stallion, "Out Out" with Jax Jones, and "Feeling Good" by the late Nina Simone. His collaboration on "Bed" with David Guetta and Raye was among the top dance songs of 2021. We predict both Corry and Summit will continue to make waves in 2022. Keep your eyes peeled for the third and final volume of our Top Dance Songs of 2021, set to be released this coming Sunday. Follow us to be the first to know when it drops. Until then...ENJOY!

Our selection process for our Year's Best Dance Tracks involves meticulous research and collaboration with two DJ promotional sources, for both official remixes and unofficial bootlegs and mashups. We partner with various labels and DJs and utilize platforms such as Beatport, Traxsource, and Bandcamp to find the best beats that might not be available through traditional channels. Moreover, we keep an eye on SoundCloud to discover promising new DJ talents. Despite the thoroughness of our process, it's inevitable that some gems will slip through. In 2023, we missed out on a few fantastic tracks. The list includes "Gold" by Austin Millz & Aluna, a track we cannot praise enough; "Sunshine" by Fat Joe, DJ Khaled & Amorphous, and "Please", the final release from Jessie Ware's highly acclaimed 2020 album "What's Your Pleasure?". Ware's departure from her usual melancholic vibe towards a more positive, Disco-themed album resonated with many listeners, notably following Dua Lipa's "Future Nostalgia". Every year, Party Favorz puts together the Top Dance Songs compilation. The list includes remixed pop hits, club-worthy tracks, and standard EDM tracks that might not be commonly played on the radio but have made their mark in the niche, with substantial impact on streaming platforms and YouTube. Without further ado, here are our top 20 picks for 2023's biggest dance tracks (in no particular order): As we bid adieu to the past year, we're ready to dive into the new musical waves of 2022. Party Favorz has been delivering soundtracks to your life for the past 15 years, with music spanning five decades, from Disco, Dance, House, to EDM. The Top Dance Songs of 2021 is the final say of the year in club and dance music. Stay tuned for our annual Blow Your Own Horn series featuring the biggest dance party mix to welcome in the New Year.

Whether you're hosting a holiday bash or just looking to infuse some warmth into a frosty evening, this set has you covered. Dive into the euphoric beats of Diplo & Miguel's "Don't Forget My Love." A gem that epitomizes mainstream dance music, this track showcases Diplo's genre-bending production skills and Miguel's velvety vocals to create a seamless auditory experience. Next up, let the ethereal beats of Vintage Culture & Sonny Fodera with Shells in "Nightjar" sweep you off your feet. With its dreamy synthesizers and heartfelt lyrics, this track serves as the ideal backdrop for those introspective winter nights. Alesso & Katy Perry's "When I'm Gone" gives us a dose of pop-infused energy that defies the winter gloom. Katy Perry's signature vocals transform Alesso's pulsating beats into an anthem that commands attention. Want something more heart-pounding? Check out Andrew Marks Venom edit of Justin Bieber vs. Mark Villa's "Ghost" for an adrenaline-pumping escapade. This isn't your typical Justin Bieber tune; instead, it's been reimagined into a dance floor thriller in this bootleg version. Another high-energy entry is "See You On The Dancefloor" by Nicky Romero x Low Blow. This track is designed to do just what its title promises—get you moving and keep you there. And don't miss out on Tiesto remix of MEDUZA and Hozier's "Tell It To My Heart" where Tiesto infuses his distinct flair into an already legendary track. This one is especially for those who adore the fusion of mainstream vocals and iconic EDM beats. For something a bit more vintage, enjoy Queen & Wyclef Jean's "Another One Bites The Dust (Seb Louder Remix)." This reimagination of a classic never felt so modern and danceable. Whether you're an EDM aficionado or just someone who enjoys a good beat, Dance Club Winter 2022 offers a medley of mainstream dance hits that are sure to make this winter anything but bleak. So, add it to your winter playlist, because these tracks are simply too good to pass up. Until the next time...ENJOY!

This latest set features all the biggest Dance Club hits of the spring — many of which will spill over into Summer. Without of doubt, Joel Corry is on a roll and there's no sign he's stopping anytime soon. He appears to have stepped away from his mainstream sugarcoated dance floor earcandy into a deeper Future House groove that's come off leftfield. With 'Liquor Store'  still running high on every DJ list, he drops the Trance classic remake of Da Hool's 'Meet Her At The Love Parade' with his version simply titled 'Parade.' For those of you who took the time to indulge in the Ultimate Trance Classics series we just dropped — this is one of the earliest Trance hits from the 90s that shook the club scene to its foundation. Speaking of Trance classics, the essential Spring Break set also includes Keanu Silva, Toby Romeo & Sacha's 'Hopeless Heart' which is an ode to the Robert Miles Trance classic 'Children' — a song most generations are intimately familiar with. We also have a 2022 re-work of the massive Trance classic 'Cafe Del Mar' by Paul Reid. I don't know if it was perfect timing or the universe calling back these classics to our collective conscious at the same time we put out the Ultimate Trance Classics Series but it does feel coincidental. One of our favorites from 2021, Kah-Lo is back with 'Drag Me Out' and 'The Sweetest Pie' by Megan Thee Stallion & Dua Lipa is already making a huge impact on radio and in the clubs. Remixes are only now coming out so be sure not to miss the Dirty Disco remix coming up on our next installment of the T-Dance series. Swedish House Mafia who's had a remarkable comeback to the club scene have teamed up with Sting for a total reimagining of the Police classic 'Roxanne' with 'Red Light' a song that's already on every DJ's top 10 list. Other notable new tracks gaining momentum are 'Good Luck' by Mabel, Jax Jones & Galantis, 'What Would You Do' by Joel Corry & David Guetta with Bryson Tiller, 'In Your Arms' by Topic, Robin Schulz, Nico Santos & Paul van Dyk (yes, that PVD another Trance reference), Purple Disco Machine and Sophie & the Giant continue their winning collaboration on 'In the Dark' with Oliver Helden doing the remix honors, Ferry Corsten's (yes that FC another Trance throwback) wonderful 'Wounded,' and the KD5 (Kaskade & Deadmaus5) team up for the Progressive House pleasure 'Escape,' while both R3HAB (with Saucy Santana) and Anna Lunoe take a 'dip' into the Freak Nasty classic with their reworks. Who wins that battle is anyone's guess because they're equally good. Finally, Kungs makes a return with the novelty track 'C...

This set features the biggest and I mean the BIGGEST Dance Club songs of the year right at the midpoint. As typical of past releases, songs released in the last quarter of the previous year are also included because they had so much staying power — they remained in heavy rotation on streaming and in the clubs well into 2022. To be honest, the club business still hasn't fully recovered to the point that it appears Billboard has officially done away with the chart, which started in the 1970s as the Disco Chart. Who's to say if it will ever be back but the one remaining chart they offer in dance music (Electronic Dance Music) isn't worth a grain of salt and frankly not even worth bothering with. For now, all decisions for songs included in this series are based on YouTube and Spotify streams and we're confident we got it right. The Catch-Up series also includes new releases that either will be or should be summer hits and are solely based on editorial decisions about what we think should be on your radar. While there are several of these songs included across these two volumes there are definitely some notable ones we think deserve your attention. First among these is a song released in the late fall of 2021 that apparently never came to our attention. Anabel Englund's 'Midnight Rapture' is an earworm delight that samples the Blondie #1 classic 'Rapture' from 1981. It's in keeping with many artists diving into their parent's record collections and pulling out delights from the decade and re-working the songs with fresh lyrics and a whole new vibe while keeping the original intact. Englund even creates a spoken-word interlude, which is more appropriate today than Debbie Harry's wonderbread rap in the original. Still, if you're not familiar with the song it's a pure delight. You should add it to your Spotify or Apple Music playlist. Sofi Tukker (a Party Favorz favorite) is back with a couple of earworms for your summer listening. 'Original Sin' follows their trademark sound complete with the 1960s bass riff Tucker Halpern injects to great effect into many of their biggest songs. The Crush Club remix takes into deeper house terriorty but injects a euphoric and uplifting riff into the song about halfway through and is repeated again towards the end. You can add it to your Spotify or Apple Music playlist. Our biggest pick here is 'Summer In New York' where Sofi Tukker lay down their cool kids indie vibe. Sofi even adds the familiar Suzanne Vega riff from her 1980s song 'Tom's Diner,

Lately, the summer weather has been hotter than hell as we had a high of 102 degrees yesterday and a short-lived massive storm complete with hail that I got stuck in. Life is coming at everyone fast so I figured why put off what you can give the people today. If you thought any songs were missing from yesterday's drop — they're likely included here. I threw in a few extras to round the final set out and the end result is an early summer party you don't want to miss. Some of you may have been disappointed that I spent so much time sending up all the Gay Anthem series instead of new music but, to be honest — something is off about new releases. They're just not there and most of what is there is fairly generic. It appears that either the DJ services I rely on are either about to go under or there's just not enough new content that's being delivered regularly. It's hard to tell but when I dive into the world of YouTube, I'm not seeing a whole bunch that's wowing me at the moment. Putting this series together was one of the hardest things I had to do. Don't get me wrong, what's here is stellar and certainly, there was enough to fill two sets with a little help from last year's late entries and a few filler tracks. Still, I couldn't justify putting out redundant sets and passing them off as new material even if there were indeed new big releases from say Lizzo. I've been working my ass off to deliver those Gay Anthem sets for you folks and in the process lost several subscribers (some of them longtime) while picking up 5x as many during the same period. I don't think those folks will stick around but if they do, welcome. In short, I'm exhausted and need to recharge my batteries for at least a week. Don't plan on anything new this next weekend but I do have plans for a duel release just in time for the July 4th celebrations. I'll be trying something different. I'll be dropping the next Peak Hour set and I have another party set that's not like anything ever done before on this site that I think everyone will enjoy. It's something I had originally planned for November but put off due to scheduling issues but I think now is the perfect time to go for it. Still, July will bring our usual releases like our annual Beach House, Summer Sweat, and Summer Melt series which covers all our bases. I may shake up the Beach House series but to be honest, I haven't even started looking at those tracks yet so no decision has been made. Party Favorz is also anticipating the release of a new Beyonce hybrid dance and co...

But don't fret, we've got your back with our annual summer dance party mix! Just as the temperature plateaus at a bearable 90 degrees Fahrenheit, Party Favorz is swooping in to elevate your summer vibes. Forget about the humidity, grab a cold one, and let's talk about the soundtrack to your summer—Summer Melt. Why Summer Melt is the Summer Dance Party You Need Summer Melt is more than just a playlist; it's a journey through the current dance music scene. It’s an intoxicating blend of House, Melodic House, Nu-Disco, EDM, Tech House, and even Latin House. But it doesn’t stop there; the mix also includes jaw-dropping reworks of classic tracks that will make you do a double-take. We listened, we curated, and then we listened some more. The result? A finely-tuned summer dance party set that had us even tossing out some great songs because they just didn't make the cut. Yeah, it was a hard decision, but quality over quantity is our mantra. Indie Labels, We Hear You I know how it feels to be a small indie label or an up-and-coming artist struggling to get noticed. Trust me, we’re on your side. If your song didn't make it to Summer Melt, don't lose heart. Keep sending us your tracks, because we're always on the lookout for those hidden gems that deserve the spotlight. Party Favorz thrives on promoting music that often doesn’t get the attention it deserves. What's Brewing in August? Oh, Just a Little Tribute to Madonna As if Summer Melt isn't enough to keep you jamming, August is about to take things to a whole new level. Get ready for a month-long tribute to the Queen of Pop, Madonna! We’re not just skimming the surface here; we’re going all in with multiple volumes covering her classic dance tracks from start to present. Sure, Madonna has her compilation, "Finally Enough Love," coming up, but our approach is different—more authentic and truer to her club roots. And for the bootleg aficionados, we've got a surprise for you too. Personal Note: Time Off Before the Madonna Extravaganza I keep saying I need a break, and this time, I mean it. I've been running Party Favorz at full throttle since February, and I need to recharge and focus on personal commitments. I'll be taking a two-week break, but don't worry; when I come back, I plan on delivering our final Madonna tribute series that'll make this year memorable. So, if you're looking to make your summer sizzle with the ultimate Summer Dance Party, look no further than Party Favorz’s Summer Melt. It's the sonic experience you didn't know you needed but won't be able to live without. Until the next time...ENJOY!

There's a lot to unpack here so let's get started. We kicked off the set with Beyonce's Break My Soul, which was a little slow out of the gate before people started getting on board. The songwriting credits included the writers for the 90s Robin S classic Show Me Love but to me – there were zero similarities to either song. Both use the standard House music loop featured in most songs back in the day but with little resemblance to that earworm hook courtesy of the StoneBridge remix, which is what made the original a massive hit. Finally, DJ Mike D had the good sense to remix the song with that familiar riff and it works in spades. Still, the best remix of the track that flips and turns it into a big room crowd-pleaser is from our good friends from Houston, Dirty Disco. In fact, Dirty Disco appears to be the go-to for remixing the biggest songs hitting the charts these days, and for good reason. While they don't have a specific signature (which is one of their finest qualities) — they seem to approach each remix with a different mindset and give it what it needs to turn it into a massive dance floor scorcher. You will hear plenty of examples in this set but the one that really takes the prize is their remix of Calvin Harris' Stay With Me featuring Justin Timberlake, Halsey, and Timberlake. We all know superstar DJ/producer Calvin Harris has a lot of friends in high places but even they couldn't save this song. Enter Dirty Disco from stage left. They massively restructured the original and turned it on its head, which further showcased what the song could be. The remix is so massive and catchy that it got a feature spot in this set when it otherwise wouldn't have. Another DJ people and labels should be keeping an eye on is DJ Ranny. He's been around a while but has proven himself to be more than just a big-room tribal circuit DJ. His WAP remix by Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B was a masterpiece several years ago. Party Favorz is proud to include his original Rave Bunny, which samples the Alice Deejay classic Better Off Alone and delivers an all-new smoking hot Future House song that should be on every DJ's setlist and on your Spotify playlist. https://youtu.be/ok7xXlw8yQc Back 2 School has not only the latest and biggest songs of the season but several earworms of the summer that have gotten new remixes that we here at Party Favorz can't get enough of. Also, there is a multitude of throwbacks included and I'll let y'all spot them as they come up because many aren't labeled...
