"YoYo Dissco" features all the latest Funky House, Disco House, and House Music songs that have been buzzing in our ears for the past couple of months. If you're a fan of this series (and it seems a lot of you are, judging by the numbers over the past year), everything will sound familiar with a fresh sense of newness throughout the mix. This set kicks off with some Gospel Disco by the always fabulous Barbara Tucker, who we haven't heard from in a while and delivers a hopeful track for these trying times. From there, you'll journey through the dance floor with an endless array of roof-raisers, funky throwbacks, and mashups of perennial favorites, creating entirely new songs. Navigating Through Time: A Reflection on Party Favorz's Journey and Musical Milestones Party Favorz is now in its 17th year, and it's remarkable to think we've been around for four presidencies, witnessing massive changes in technology and entertainment consumption. We were leading the charge in this arena before podcasts became ubiquitous, and while many have fallen by the wayside, we're still here delivering the dancefloor directly to you. Towards the end of this mix, you'll notice a song called "The Cure & The Cause" by Fish Go Deep and Tracey K. Idris Elba took the song in a very 90s straight House Music direction. At the time of its original release, it was all about the DJ Meme remix, which added live strings in the vein of the Solsoul Records era. It was a massive hit back in 2007, the same year Party Favorz was born on the internet. It's interesting to note that it was also released during a presidential year, similar to the current time. While nothing will ever top the DJ Meme remix, this new rendition brought back a lot of fond memories from our early days. You can find the DJ Meme remix on our Funky House Edition 2007 v6 and on Volume 1 of our DJ Meme tribute mix. Technical Updates and Enhancements: Improving Your Listening Experience I've been struggling to get the categories to work on the streaming feeds for several days, but then it came to me in a dream last night. That's been the delay in getting the new design out, and I haven't fully tested it yet, but hopefully, it will work out. If not, I'm waiting on a quote from a developer to assist, along with fixing the link in the site's header. No need to inform me; I'm aware of it and will get it fixed as soon as possible. Feel free to reach out if you find any other errors, such as wrong artwork,

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 ...

We've thrown in some Breaks and Trance too, keeping things lively. Our new mix "Vibrate" was knocked out in one sitting. We kept it tight so you won’t get bored; the tracks flow smoothly but with surprises to keep the energy high. In other news, we've moved back to our old hosting spot, aiming to settle down. The cost of running our show has been crazy, with some service bills hitting the roof. Not all these services are worth their price, so we're cutting down where we can, but it's still a pricey affair. We hit a snag with our recent move, causing a 24-hour downtime and some missing files. I'm on it, fixing things even on a Sunday. If you're following specific categories on different platforms, hang tight; it might take a month to get everything sorted before they reappear. We're also shaking things up with our donation system, switching to a new provider. More details are coming soon. For now, the donation page is ready (albeit a little sluggish), and if you can chip in, it would really help us cover our costs. I want to apologize for dropping another set on a Sunday (Monday in some parts of the world). I’ve been juggling personal stuff with updating the website while trying to crank out new episodes, which has thrown off our schedule. We’re doing our best to get back on track and make it up to you in the next few months. Hope you all had a great weekend. Get ready for our annual Spring Edition for 2024, specially for our circuit boy fans. Depending on the final tracklist, that set could evolve into two volumes and it appears there will be a second volume of Spring Break 2024. So we've got a lot heading your way in a short amount of time. Until the next time...ENJOY! Album: VibrateArtists: VariousGenre: Tech House, Techno, BreaksLength: 01:37:42 ACRAZE + Pickle feat.

You might be encountering a surge of tracks labeled "Afro House." But hold on a minute – isn't that what Progressive House used to be called? This trend of rebranding classic genres isn't new. Remember when Deep House morphed into commercial House, then Future House? Great music deserves recognition on its own merits, not through constant relabeling. Speaking of great music, the recent TikTok wave has unearthed some fantastic reworked Progressive House classics. Think genre pioneers like John Creamer & Stephane K, Deep Dish, Scumfrog, and artists who masterfully used heavy percussion – Chus & Ceballos, Oscar G & Ralph Falcon, Friburn & Urik, Peter Rauhofer, and many more. Tracks like Rui Da Silva's timeless "Touch Me" are getting a fresh spin for modern dance floors, and the results are phenomenal! Back to the Future: Revisiting Millennial Dance Music The cyclical nature of dance music trends is undeniable. Right now, the spotlight's on late-90s and early 2000s classics, with artists sampling or revamping entire tracks. It's a trend we wholeheartedly support, and you can expect to hear these gems showcased in future Club Fusion and Peak Hour sets. This trend sparked a trip down memory lane for us here at Party Favorz. Remember our BackSpin series from way back in our early years? Last year, we aimed to revisit the glory days of 2000s dance music, following up on our popular Ultimate 90s House Classics series. We started with a Millennial Dance Classics series, but the sheer diversity of the decade made it tough to curate a cohesive set. After all, massive hits often land in our Top Dance Songs of the Year anyway. So, we decided to resurrect the BackSpin series! This allows us to delve deeper into specific genres that defined the 2000s dance music scene. Each BackSpin release will focus on a distinct genre, with a sprinkle of Trance and Electronica thrown in for good measure. These sets will typically span a five-year period, featuring a mix of crowd-pleasing favorites and some hidden gems ripe for rediscovery – think "It's Love (Trippin')" by Goldtrix and Andrea Brown or "Addicted To Bass" by Puretone featured in volume 1. For those seeking classic remixes by the likes of Thunderpuss, Hex Hector, and Victor Calderone, fear not! We've already covered those in our Classic Circuit Anthems series from 2014. The BackSpin Reboot: A Journey Through Millennial Dance Music Genres The rebooted BackSpin series will explore the vast and vibrant landscape of Millennial dance music, beyond the big remixes.

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.

This episode packs a serious punch, overflowing with modern-day House bangers alongside classic Disco House that sets the mood perfectly. Funky Classics with a Modern Twist We kick things off with a fresh take on a 90s House favorite: Jamiroquai's "Space Cowboy" gets a vibrant update by Michael Gray in his "Good Vibe" remix. It keeps the original spirit alive while feeling fresh for the 21st century. Next up, Mark Lower and Alexandra Prince reimagine Sade's soothing "Paradise" with a Nu Disco beat and Prince's smooth vocals, creating a perfect summer invitation. Dance Floor Dominators Get ready to move! The set explodes with modern House anthems guaranteed to light up any dance floor. We're especially loving LF System's uplifting "Lift You Up," a positive anthem that reminds us to focus on the good, even amidst challenges. OFFIAH's "Hands" carries the same sentiment, with a roof-raising energy that beckons everyone to join the party. A Touch of Sexy Of course, Funky House Heat wouldn't be complete without some seductive vibes. The Shapeshifters deliver with "Body Music," featuring a familiar sample from the timeless House classic "Body To Body (Keep In Touch)" by Shades of Love. It's a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Peak Hour Dance Floor Sweat Ready to lose yourself in the heat? This episode features several peak-hour heavy-hitters. DJ Minx's "Don't Do It To Me," Earth n Days' and "The Kinda Love" (CASSIMM remix) are floor-scorchers. "NRG" by Many Few, which holds true to its namesake featuring what sounds like a sample of Loleatta Holloway but don't hold us to that — is pure FIRE! Disco Heat Funky House Heat doesn't forget its Disco roots. Dr Packer and Purple Disco Machine, two legendary names, bring the heat, while Sofi Tukker's "One On One" (a personal favorite) gets a remix treatment from the 70s Disco master, Cerrone. Throwbacks with a Message We love a good throwback, and this episode features two gems. Kyle Watson's modern take on the Funk classic "Low Rider" by War is a surprising hit, paying homage to Chicano culture while keeping dance floors moving. Brothas & Sistas' "Without Love" is a Funky House reimagining of the Doobie Brothers' "Long Train Running," transformed into a powerful call for unity in these divided times. Finally May will be packed with exciting releases at Party Favorz, so stay tuned across all our channels! One quick note to let y'all know that Party Favorz has monthly obligations to keep our podcast up and running and so far,

In fact, our latest edition of Chill Out Sessions takes a nostalgic step back to our Mixtape Sessions. These sets were laidback affairs but leaned towards a more commercial realm of music from that era. With the recent explosion of the Afro House genre, many of these tracks find a better-suited home in this series. DJs seem to have only recently discovered percussion as if it were something new, yet it has been a staple in dance remixes since the 90s, lending these songs a warmer vibe. Back then we called it Progressive House, which will undoubtedly resurface as the genre du jour of the moment any time now /s While some of these tracks indeed fall into the Afro House category, most do not. However, this doesn't diminish their quality, beauty or resilience. On the contrary, they are exceptional, and we're all about top-notch dance music here at Party Favorz. Nevertheless, many of these tunes are so laid-back that they might not fit the dance floor vibe but rather serve as background music while you unwind during your drive home from work or need some zen time. While we'll use some of these songs in our Club Fusion series (because we stay on trend around here), many wouldn't make the cut but deserve to be aired. I won't spoil the surprise by going into detail about each track today. Instead, I invite you to let the music be a delightful discovery for your discerning ears. Even if our previous Chill Out offerings weren't your cup of tea, I encourage you to give this one a chance. I believe you'll be pleasantly surprised. Until next time... ENJOY!

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.

Launched in 2016, this series revitalizes beloved gay anthems from decades past with modern reworks for today's LGBTQ+ Millennials and Gen Z.

This set is packed with timeless gay anthems, including Denis Bravo's masterpiece rework of Whitney Houston's "I'll Always Love You," seamlessly blended with a snippet of the original Hex Hector remix. We've also included Ariana Grande's "Yes, And," based on the classic "Vogue" sample, alongside a modern Madonna rework by Leo Frappier (aka Division 4). Chappell Roan's breakthrough hit "Pink Pony Club" gets a dancefloor-ready rework by Stephen Jusko & DJ Blacklow, followed by Ethel Cain's "Sun Bleached Flies" and a haunting fan-made mashup of her vocals with Robyn's "Dancing On My Own" instrumental. Of course, no set would be complete without the original Robyn version of "Dancing On My Own," remixed by Luca Debonaire, Tony Ruiz, and Matt Consola. Adam Lambert and Sigala pay tribute to Sylvester with their rendition of "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)," while Lily Allen's "Fuck You" gets a rousing Dubstep remix. These two volumes of "Gay Anthems For A New Generation 2024" are truly the best yet, celebrating the LGBTQ+ community's progress over the past 20 years. In other news, we're still falling short of our monthly goals to keep the lights on. If you haven't already, please consider pitching in $5 a month to cover our operating expenses. Party Favorz won't be around forever, but we'd love to finish the year strong. We'll be back next week with a massive two-volume Pride Edition for our circuit boys. Until then...ENJOY!

This edition's cover art is courtesy of Mark De Lange, also known as Dirty Disco. Mark isn't just a prodigious and talented DJ who helps keep many of our Circuit and Anthems sets glued together; he's also a businessman, entrepreneur, and a genuinely nice guy. The hot daddy aspect is just an added bonus. Party Favorz wanted to celebrate this edition with real people we know, and it's an honor that Mark shared a variety of photos with us to choose for the cover. He even shared more than we asked for, but let's just say, we're impressed. If you find yourself in Houston (TX) anytime soon, head on over to the Montrose area and drop by his bar, the Houston Eagle (611 Hyde Park, Houston, TX 77006) where he spins on Sundays and say hi. Tell him Party Favorz sent you. The Importance of Voting in 2024 As we celebrate Gay Pride month, it's crucial to address some pressing issues. It's an election year, folks, and it's the single most important one in our lifetime. It was true in 2016 when we urged everyone to vote for Clinton, but many couldn't get past the email controversy despite her being the most qualified person to ever run for office. Her loss resulted in a narcissistic, six-times-bankrupt, and morally corrupt individual holding the highest seat in our nation, which allowed him to install three conservative justices on the Supreme Court, giving them a majority. Since then, they've rolled back voting rights, overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade, and expanded religious liberties to the point where doctors and pharmacists can openly discriminate against women, minorities, and the LGBTQ community without fear of punishment through state laws barring discrimination. Effectively, they've polluted our Constitution and severely restricted our 14th Amendment rights, and they're only getting started. The Threats to LGBTQ Rights Many of the hard-fought rights LGBTQ people have fought for, like marriage equality, sodomy laws, and the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, have been won by the struggles and willingness of the gay community to fight for the equal rights we're guaranteed under the Constitution. Now, all of it—ALL OF IT—is on the chopping block. After overturning Roe v. Wade, Justice Thomas, in his concurring opinion, went even further, inviting lawsuits to overturn contraception and marriage equality. Don't be fooled; this court is not comprised of strict constitutionalists but rather activist judges who are attempting to inje...

For those who ignored what I wrote in our Gay Pride Edition 2024, the pieces are falling into place. Unless you've been living under a rock, SCOTUS has just made homelessness illegal, legalized obstructing Congress in counting electoral votes to confirm a President, sanctioned bribery for politicians and judges, and dismantled federal agencies overseeing our environment, food safety, consumer rights, and LGBTQ+ protections. In doing so, they've seized decision-making power from career federal experts, overriding the Chevron Doctrine that traditionally deferred to their expertise. After dragging their feet on whether former President Trump has total presidential immunity for absconding with Top Secret classified information back to Mar-a-Lago — something several people are currently in jail for while awaiting trial — on Monday, SCOTUS will hand down their decision. It's likely to be narrowly tailored, aimed solely at Trump, to avoid granting President Biden any special powers. This case highlights a crucial argument against presidential immunity: presidents are not kings. Granting them immunity from legal consequences undermines accountability and equality under the law, principles foundational to Constitutional Republic. This is just the beginning. If you haven't read up on Project 2025, wake up. It's already underway. All they need is for you to stay home, not vote, and let MAGA control all branches of government. That's the message. Happy fucking 4th of July.

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!

Beach House 2024 has everything for House Music lovers, including straight-up House, Disco House, Latin House, Tech House, and Afro House, all seamlessly blended into a smoothie mix perfect for pool and beach parties. From the fabulous opening piano chords on the David Penn remix of "Our Love (80s)" by Yours to the sweat-inducing "Body Next To Mine" by Alex Adair and Bottom Up, this summer Funky House set hits all the right notes. A personal favorite is "Post That (Shit)" by Deon Cole and Terry Hunter. This track exudes a vogue vibe, beckoning listeners to post their poses to social media while enjoying a very Salsoul Records feel. The Chicago callout reminds us that the city is the birthplace of House Music. Mark Lower and Alexandra Prince give us a summery cocktail spin on "Paradise," a remake of the Sade classic. Tyshawn Colquitt remakes the disco classic "Spank" with DJ Spen adding a faithful garage mix, complete with horns. Armand Van Helden updates his early Millennium classic "My My My" with the uncredited Tara McDonald on vocals, creating another personal favorite. Meanwhile, Simon Fava, Yvvan Back & Cumbiafrica bring "The Heat" with their Latin Tech House track, which is currently topping many playlists. Another standout is "Move On Up" by Curtis Mayfield, with the incomparable Mark Knight performing remix duties. I didn't realize that the "Superfly" guy originally sang this song. Destination took it to #1 on the Disco charts in 1979, and Knight gives the original Soul/Funk version the Disco treatment, using Mayfield's original vocals. It's absolutely uplifting! DJ Ritmo Latino's "Ritmo Latino" is one of several Latin House songs included here that lend a salsa vibe laid over a house beat. Yvvan Back and Afterman deliver the Tech House track "Who's That Girl," which, with its Latin House delivery, belongs here more than on any Tech House set, where it's currently riding high. Finally, two other favorites are "Ain't Got No" by KPD and David Penn. The upbeat bounce of the song contrasts with the singer's declaration that she "ain't got nobody," a weird pairing that just works. Equally, Serge Funk's "Please Don't Leave" delivers a satisfying early 70s vibe laid over a Disco House beat that, contrary to the singer's plea, makes you elated and eager to dance. Believe it or not, I knocked out Beach House 2024 in one sitting, aiming for a carefree, open vibe to accompany the music, and it just melted together like butter! Beach House 2024 is your summer soundtrack to plain ole fun.

I'm going to be honest: the entire dance music scene is in flux right now. Genre lines are blurring, creating chaos for DJs trying to curate balanced sets. While I'm adaptable, the rapid changes are working my last nerve. We've always avoided Dubstep and Drum & Bass due to their mixing challenges and overall intensity. Most listeners don't want an entire set of either genre. This left us with Tech House, Breaks, Bass House, and Techno as our primary sources for the Peak Hour series. Tech House used to be the glue that held all these sets together, but it's undergoing a similar transformation to Afro House—becoming more commercial and less dancefloor-oriented. The influx of Latin House and commercial tracks itno the genre makes finding genuine Tech House a daunting task. Some tracks now fit better in our Funky House series. The term "Melodic House and Techno" is misleading. These genres are vastly different. A prime example is "See You Sweat" by Max Styler and GENESI, a Techno-Tech House hybrid that's currently #1 on the Beatport Melodic House and Techno chart. I almost overlooked it because Melodic House doesn't typically fit our Peak Hour vibe. Breaks and Bass House have been particularly disappointing lately, offering little to work with. It's been a frustrating process. I've reworked this set three times, digging deep for the right tracks and cutting out what didn't work. While most of it is solid, the overall joy of creating these sets has diminished. I'm considering taking a break from this series and collecting tracks I love over the next several months for a future set as opposed to jumping right in and scooping up a bunch of great songs to include that just aren't there. The time commitment to curate a set while sifting through hundreds of weekly releases is unsustainable. Ultimately, I hope this set delivers. Please let me know your thoughts. 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.

This set is structured a bit differently from past efforts. We typically utilize key mixing for our podcasts, allowing for smoother transitions and a more pleasant listening experience. However, in this episode, the keys aligned perfectly, enabling us to load most of the Tea Dance-style tracks upfront before transitioning into the big circuit tribal beats you're accustomed to. Think of it as a slow build to the big room sound. Don't be fooled though, there's fire from the beginning. We have several notable entries, including the Superchumbo remix of the 80s gay anthem classic "Why" by Bronski Beat featuring a guest vocal by Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys. This was released in conjunction with a newly remastered and expanded edition of their queer classic "Age of Consent" album, a coming-of-age album for young queers in the early 80s. That song is quickly followed up by a remake of Madonna's "Into the Groove" by Drew G, surprisingly released around the same time as the Bronski Beat album in the 80s. Drew transforms the original dance groove into a big room scorcher, reimagining the song for late-night circuit audiences. There are countless Madonna remakes, but this version is truly one for the history books. Since we're on 80s throwbacks, Jace M & Toy Armada deliver the unexpected "Heaven Is a Place on Earth" by Belinda Carlisle. A proud LGBTQ+ community supporter and gay icon, Carlisle (of Go-Go's fame) shines in this remix. Jace and Toy's signature big room anthem style turns the giant pop song into a sweeping, hypnotic sing-along that captures the original's spirit. Don't miss it. Of course, we've got a plethora of new material from the diva of the moment, Chappell Roan, as well as Katy Perry, Kesha, Hayla, Anne-Marie, and the always fabulous Kylie Minogue (more on her in a moment). This set also features new and reworked songs from Gen X and Millennial divas like Erin Hamilton (RIP), Miss Suzanne Palmer, Anastacia, Carly Rae Jepsen, and Antoinette Roberson. As you can see, we've packed this set to the gills with old and new favorites that are bound to fuel your workouts for months to come. We had promised to deliver several reworked Diva Hall of Fame episodes but decided to cut it down to one. There seems to be a lack of appreciation for our work, and frankly, I'm not draining my bank account for folk's listening pleasure that refuse to support our efforts. The next release will be the long-overdue update for Kylie Minogue. It will be private and available only to those who've supported us since April — no matte...

Kylie is Australia's biggest-selling artist, with over 80 million albums sold worldwide. She’s considered the "Princess of Pop" behind Madonna, the "Queen of Pop," and is adored by millions of gay men around the globe. Currently, she’s holding a residency at the Venetian in Las Vegas for a series of sold-out shows and has recently signed a multimillion-dollar deal with Netflix for an upcoming documentary about her life. It was a long time coming when Kylie joined Madonna on her "Celebration Tour" for a performance of the iconic Gloria Gaynor classic "I Will Survive" and Kylie's own "Can't Get You Out of My Head." While I can no longer attend concerts, just watching two of my all-time favorite divas perform together brought tears to my eyes. Weird, I know—because I rarely get emotional, especially over artists I worship but treat as any other person in life—but it really hit me hard. Here at Party Favorz, we adore Kylie Minogue and all her achievements, which is why we’re honoring her with her third induction into the Diva Hall of Fame. These two volumes (with Volume II dropping next weekend) are packed with all of Kylie’s biggest hits, along with her current releases and collaborations. The sets feature some original remixes and a few bootlegs, blending her classic tracks with the current music scene. These sets bring Kylie into the 21st century, where old and new complement each other for a seamless tribute like no other. In my last post, I mentioned that downloading these sets would require a $10 donation per volume. While I have the ability to set that up, I just don’t have the time right now because I’m juggling other issues (recently discussed) along with managing this podcast. So, these two volumes—and everything else for the remainder of the year—will remain free for all to enjoy. However, I know that two of you are posting some of these mixes on Mixcloud (yes, I know who you are) and House-Mixes.com, and passing off the work as your own. I really wish you wouldn’t because it hurts my traffic and my ability to sustain this podcast through donations which doesn't even cover my monthly costs. I’m too busy to issue takedown notices, but I’m appealing to your better angels by asking you nicely to stop. As I mentioned earlier, Volume II will drop next weekend. After that, Party Favorz will be back to full capacity. I subscribe to my DJ service in 90-day periods, and I had to cancel it because of money issues. I’m waiting until after the 15th to renew,

Initially, I wasn't certain how mixing in her current releases with her biggest hits from 10, 15 years ago would work so I dropped in several updated bootlegs that stayed true to the originals, while modernizing those songs for today's dance floors. I kept several of the original remixes from the time of their release because they work just as well now as they did when they were originally released. I finally got around to perfecting the remastering of older material to tone down pitchy high ssss you hear in some songs, expanded the dynamics on others that sounded a bit flat and punching up the bass to round it out so it didn't sound too cold like much of the original software used to create the mixes. This is a time-consuming process but with the help of ChatGPT, it made it much easier to be able to fine-tune these settings. I couldn't be happier and plan on deploying some of these techniques in future releases (especially Circuit & Anthems where many of the DJs don't use plugins for a more professional sound). All the remaining big hits like "On A Night Like This," "Spinnig Around," "Slow," "Love At First Sight," "Into the Blue," "The One," and "Breathe" are included here along with many current releases since "Tension" plus rare gems that never charted in the U.S. but had a minor prescence elsewhere. This truly is the Kylie Minogue wet dream all the gay boys have been waiting for. I only hope that I did the Queen justice. I want ot thank Jack P, Dirk S, Ian A, Paul S, Andrew A, Hans R, David J, Paul B, Taylor OD, Joe S, Glenn A, Nicholas J, Earl K, Michael B, Al F, Adam G, Ignacio G, Casper Y, Doug B, and Raul G for their continued support. I literally could not do this without your help. I you haven't already, please consider donating to our efforts in bringing you the finest dance club music anywhere on the internet.

Lately, House Music has been crossing over into the mainstream, with the excellent Nic Fanciulli and Robert Courois track "Set Me Free" sitting atop Beatport's Top 100 and trending on many Spotify dance playlists. However, the song that's got us all worked up at Party Favorz is the opening track, "Let's Go" by Jaden Bojsen. This track is ripe for remixes, and while I've seen some floating around, I'm not certain if they're official. I'm calling attention to this song because it channels late '80s and early '90s House Music, perfectly setting the tone for most of this set. I fully expect it to feature on our next Dance Club set (dropping soon), as I want to push it hard. In the meantime, be sure to add it to your Spotify and Apple Music playlists. While this set sticks to our current House floor favorites, there's a good mix of Disco House and even some French House we're really into at the moment, giving it a nice balance. A personal favorite of mine is "Delicious" by Risk Assessment, which lifts the Acid House classic "Theme From S.E.X. Express," slows it down to a slinky 120 BPM, and throws in some classic Deee-lite riffs. If you know, you know. If you don’t — you’ll be into it soon enough. This set has been on heavy rotation in my car because I can’t get enough of it. It just hits all the right notes, and I think even those who aren’t typically fans of our Funky House series will enjoy it. That's all I’ve got for your weekend pleasure. Until next time…ENJOY!

This collection features the biggest bangers currently making waves! We kick things off with the fabulous "Finally" by Swedish House Mafia and Alicia Keys. This dream collaboration reimagines the 2001 house classic by Kings of Tomorrow (a.k.a. Sandy Rivera) into a sweeping anthem, showcasing Ms. Keys's incredible vocals. I can’t recall a more unexpected and mesmerizing pairing since David Guetta and Kelly Rowland electrified the dance floor with "When Love Takes Over" back in 2009. Next up is a brand-new track from Canada’s pop princess turned urban queen, Nelly Furtado. After a seven-year hiatus, her collaboration with Tove Lo and SG Lewis delivers an electro banger that seamlessly bridges her earlier work with Timbaland. The singer is in fantastic vocal form and looks as fabulous as ever, while Don Diablo’s searing progressive remix is sure to captivate club-goers. Italian DJ Piero Pirupa, who previously reworked the rock classic "Another Brick in the Wall," returns with a hard-hitting remix of Nirvana’s "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Grunge was always ripe for an EDM makeover, and this remix elevates the original to new heights. Jerome Robins & Karsten Sollors take on Rihanna's classic "Don't Stop the Music," transforming it into a BIG HOUSE tune that’s bound to blow the roof off any venue. Their version does justice to the original while opting out of the MJ "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" chant—frankly, it didn’t need it. Martin Ikin is riding high with his chopped tribute to Beyoncé's "Crazy For You," titled "Crazy 4 U." Paired with "7 Seconds" by James Hype, these tracks highlight the diversity of styles in this set. We also feature sweeping anthems like the elegant "Tears" by John Summit and Paige Cavell, alongside Max Styler's progressive track before closing out with his techno smash, "Addiction." In between all this goodness are some heart-tugging and emotionally uplifting songs you may or may not have heard yet. This shift in the set allows listeners to breathe before transitioning to a harder note. Tracks like "Beautiful & Young" (a Lana Del Rey remake) by Harpoon, "Hold Me" by Freejak, "Wish You Knew" by Carlita, and "My Love 2024" by Alex Wann, Route 94, and Jess Glynne all deserve attention. While some lean towards Afro house, others showcase a more progressive structure, but they all mesh beautifully. Finally, we have the latest from Chappell Roan. I debated including her new track "Hot To Go!" due to the controversy surrounding her recent comments.

This set specifically focuses on 2005-2006. Electro House had already been bubbling up from the underground, but by 2005, we saw the rise of future DJs who would later become household names. People like David Guetta, Axwell, Kaskade, Fedde Le Grande, and Dave Aude, to name a few. This period also brought me back into the scene after having dropped out because the music from 2002-2004 had become too druggy, dark, and frankly, depressing. I just wasn't feeling what Stephane K & Creamer were putting out at the time. It wasn’t until Rick was out of town, and I went to a gay club in Atlanta with my bestie, LeAnn, that I realized the music was shifting. Hearing the Freemasons mix of "Lovin' You More" and "Mesmerized" lit a spark in me, and I knew the landscape was changing—bringing back my excitement for the scene. By this time, the big room stylings of Thunderpuss (Barry Harris and Chris Cox) had come to an end. However, Chris Cox carried on with their big tribal sound, while Victor Calderone, Hex Hector, Tony Moran, and Ralphi Rosario continued topping the Dance Club charts. Peter Rauhofer ventured into darker, progressive sounds—sometimes hitting the mark, other times not—but he was still in high demand, commanding high prices for his shows. If you're craving those memorable hits, Party Favorz has you covered. Check out our Top Dance Songs of 2000-2009 and Top Dance Songs of 1996-1999 sections, where you'll find the biggest chart-toppers in the U.S. For those more into the circuit anthems from this era, head over to our Classic Circuit Anthems section, where a 4-volume set awaits to blow you away. Over the next several years, the production styles of these early 2000s pioneers began to fade, making room for newer DJs like Avicii, Deadmau5, Calvin Harris, Soul Seekers, Wideboys, Freemasons, Moto Blanco, Seamus Haji, and soon after, Swedish House Mafia, among many others. The following decade was truly an exciting time for the Dance Club scene, with EDM becoming the dominant genre, alongside massive festivals that resembled rock concerts. One thing that didn’t change was the length of the songs. Unlike today’s musical landscape, where dance tracks often clock in at under 4 minutes, DJs back then continued the tradition of long, epic songs, just like their predecessors. I did very little editing here to let listeners experience true club mixes, with full builds and progression, instead of the short, catchy hooks that dominate now. It’s worth noting that while Electro House didn’t completely dominate the ...

I hadn’t realized just how dominant the Rock Dance influence was during this time, but looking back, it was everywhere. Many tracks from that era didn’t make it into these two volumes, but one that certainly stands out (next to Kelly Clarkson’s “Since You’ve Been Gone” on Volume 2) is the Jacques Lu Cont Thin White Duke remix of “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers. This song was massive, and you practically couldn’t escape it. This period also marked the rise of another French DJ besides David Guetta: Bob Sinclar. Though he’d been honing his craft since the late '80s, it wasn’t until this era that he seemingly exploded onto the scene with hits like “Love Generation,” “World, Hold On (Children of the Sun),” and “Rock This Party (Everybody Dance Now).” His meteoric popularity even led to him headlining one of Hugh Hefner’s parties at the Playboy Mansion. The event was later released as a two-volume set of House and Disco, aimed at the jet-set crowd. David Guetta, of course, is also in the mix here with some of his early work, including Juliet’s “Avalon” and the huge “Love Don’t Let Me Go.” As promised, we replaced the rock version of Roger Sanchez’s “Turn On the Music” with the Axwell Electro House remix, which was the go-to version at the time. Paul Oakenfold (another 90s mainstay) was enjoying renewed success during this era, hitting #1 with “Faster Kill Pussycat,” featuring the incredible vocals of Brittany Murphy (may she rest in peace). For those wondering where this year’s earlier hit “Perfect (Exceeder)” originated — it’s straight from this time period, and we’ve included the Martijn Ten Velden remix, which stays true to the original but is more DJ-friendly. We also have to give major props to Peter Rauhofer (may he rest in peace) for his prolific output during this time. His remixes, which blended Progressive and Electro House, had wide appeal across dance floors. We’ve highlighted his stellar work on “Beautiful” by Christina Aguilera, “Killer” by Seal, and “Maneater” by Nelly Furtado — all of which hit #1 on the Dance Club charts. While we wanted to include his remix of the Vanity 6/Prince-penned “Nasty Girl” by Inaya Day, we decided it was a bit too much from one producer. Two DJ duos that went on to achieve massive success are Moto Blanco, represented here with Mary J. Blige’s “Be Without You” (originally credited as Bobby Blanco), and Freemasons, who shine on Beyoncé’s “Deja Vu” and Faith Evans’ sassy “Mesmerized” — a personal favorite.

And this set more than delivers. Bursting at the seams with peak-hour anthems, we’ve packed it with tracks from your favorite divas—old and new—including Kylie, Rihanna, Celine, Madonna, Lady Gaga, Britney (BITCH), Taylor Swift, Kelly Rowland, Beyoncé, Shakira, Loleatta Holloway, Christina Aguilera, Charli XCX, and Billie Eilish. Believe us, it doesn’t get any realer than this. 11 Days to Protect Our Rights: Why This Election Matters With only 11 days until election day, now is the time for our final message to anyone considering sitting this one out or voting third party. The stakes couldn’t be higher, especially for the LGBTQ community. This election will impact marriage equality, workplace protections, access to PrEP, housing rights, government employment (including military service), and women's reproductive rights like abortion, birth control, IUD, IVF, Mifepristone, the morning after pill, and yes, condoms. It will shape gun control, voting rights, and even the future of free speech. This isn’t hyperbole—the outcome will profoundly impact your everyday life. Hell, Republicans are even going after your porn. Porn Hub has already stopped operating in Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Utah, and Virginia. This includes gay porn, which has been upheld under the First Amendment but has been steadily eroded ever since by SCOTUS. The recent SCOTUS decision in Trump vs. United States grants unprecedented powers to the President, essentially making the office a monarchy. Under another Trump administration, there’s nothing to prevent an assault on our constitutional rights, including due process in our pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness. Some might think that voting for Jill Stein, who reappears every four years like a cicada to disrupt elections, is a viable option. This misguided choice effectively hands the election to Trump. Voting for Kamala Harris, on the other hand, ensures your continued freedom to speak out on issues like the Middle East without risking violence or repression—a stark reality we could face if Trump returns to power and enacts martial law. I urge you to vote—vote early or drop off your absentee ballot at your nearest dropbox (not mail), as Rick and I will be doing today. This election is nothing less than a choice between fascism and our open, free society. Our right to live authentically, to speak openly, and to challenge injustice depends on it. Our Republic, our freedoms,

The sheer amount of racism, misogyny, xenophobia, and homophobia spoken loud and clear with Kamala Harris's defeat is staggering. My prediction? Trump will probably last six months to a year before Vance moves to have him replaced under the 25th Amendment. The guy’s a rambling, dementia-addled buffoon, so that shouldn’t be too hard. Project 2025 will start checking off every box on their agenda from day one. Now that SCOTUS has handed the president king-like powers, I wouldn't be shocked if this administration takes over all media and silences others, building its own propaganda machine. NATO will be dissolved, we'll pull out of the Paris Climate Accord, Putin will wipe out Ukraine and start moving on former NATO allies, and China will seize Taiwan. Trump or Vance will undo the Chips and Science Act, which poured nearly a trillion dollars into bringing chip manufacturing back to the U.S. Abortion bans will go nationwide, and with our Senate lost, Justice Thomas and Alito will step down and be replaced with younger ideologues, sealing white nationalist control over the highest court for a generation. LGBTQ rights? Gone. Contraception? Banned. Education will become a luxury, and kids will be working fields once every immigrant, legal or not, is deported. If Trump enacts a 20% tariff on all imports and 60% on anything from China, expect everything — including food — to quadruple in price. And that's just the beginning. There's a religious agenda waiting in the wings, and we’ll see soon enough how that nightmare unfolds. I debated whether to release the latest two volumes of the Throwback series since they were meant as a Victory Dance Party. Honestly, I’m relieved I didn’t pull the trigger early. There's absolutely nothing to celebrate — unless you're part of the 50% of bigots who are just fine with these fanatics targeting others, at least until it boomerangs back to you. And it will. For now, I’m cutting all unnecessary expenses for this podcast. I’d already planned to make this my final year, but you may see some slowdowns on the website and a loss of translation services as Rick and I figure out our next steps. For now, we’re stuck in this shitshow along with everyone else. If I can keep it together, I’ll continue my regular releases through the end of the year. Until the next time...

Pulling inspiration from a mix of genres—NuDisco, Disco House, Tech House, and good old-fashioned House Music—"All About the Bass" is a masterful blend of everything that makes Funky House Music so irresistible. Each track seamlessly transitions into the next, keeping dancers and listeners on their toes with something fresh and unexpected at every turn. I won’t dive too deep into the details of this set because, frankly, the music speaks for itself. As we get closer to the end of the year, I wanted to give everyone a heads-up about what’s in the pipeline between now and then. I’ve got a new Chill Out set I just started working on, but I’ve also got a lot of medical shit this week, so the release may be slightly delayed. We’ll see. That will be followed by our final Club Fusion set of the year—the annual "Jingle Electric", featuring all the hottest Dance Club songs heading into the holidays. After that, we’ll drop our annual "Holiday Edition", which brings HOT Santas and even hotter tribal beats for the circuit boys. Next up, we’ll roll out the "Top Dance Songs of the Year" set, packed with the biggest Dance Club songs that defined 2024. Every hit makes the cut—even the ones we’re not fans of—because if it lit up clubs worldwide, it deserves its spot. Finally, we’ll close out the year with the annual (yes, I’m saying it a lot, but it’s relevant) "Blow Your Own Horn" series. This final set is a mix of the year’s biggest songs and Dance Club classics reworked into a roof-raising style that’ll shake the dancefloor. It’s our final kiss-off to the year while welcoming in the new one—and trust me, it’s gonna be epic! Until the next time...ENJOY!

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.

I know you boys have been waiting for something new to jazz up your workouts. Well, it's finally here. It starts out sounding like the Barry Harris hour before giving away to other DJs. Let's face it; Barry's got an ear for this stuff and frankly puts a lot of the current crop of circuit DJs to shame. That being said, I was able to be very particular about what else went into this set; so, I'd definitely say it's the best of the rest that made the cut, making for a solid superset. I've been keeping an eye on DJ Ranny's work for a while and frankly, he's been no stranger to Party Favorz but I got to say this guy is at the top of his game. Nowhere is this better reflected than his EPIC remix of Florence + the Machine's Queen of Peace. This is so OMFG momentous that it makes me feel proud to witness how Ranny has evolved over the years from a local DJ in Boston to an international powerhouse. Give the girl a standing O, please. At the current rate, Party Favorz' doors should be wide open by the end of this next week. As I write this, Party Favorz doors are officially open. There is a brand-spanking new junior D-I-V-A induction into the Hall of Fame I'll be posting tomorrow morning. The only hint I'll give is that she's about to embark on the US leg of her already successful tour in a week or so and that the gay boys adore her. Until then ...ENJOY!

I don't know who decided to cast her in this movie for a brief moment, but it was not only believable but put her square on my radar. It was at that point I figured out this junior diva is in the process of diversifying her assets; sure enough, I was right. From her clothing line to executive producing a couple of series (one for Netflix and the other for Lifetime) and starring roles in several upcoming movies along with the US leg of her Revival tour about to swing into full gear her star has never shown brighter. Did I forget to mention this other thing she does like sing, records stellar pop songs, and lands a number-one album on Billboard's Hot 100? The former Disney star has come a long way and is making the smart moves necessary to sustain a long and prominent career. The girl many considered their baby sister that they'll defend and protect is all grown up and is proving to be more than a one-trick pony. Now, if we could just get her to make better boyfriend choices, all will be good in the POP universe. Then again, she's old enough to make her own decisions. After all, the heart wants what it wants.

Gloria Estefan is a multi-Grammy winner with several top ten hits including Conga (her-trademark song performed with Miami Sound Machine), Rhythm Is Gonna Get You, 1-2-3, Get On Your Feet, Anything For You, Here We Are, Coming Out of the Dark, Oye! and Party Time to name a few. She's won an MTV Video Music Award, a couple of ACE awards, an American Music Award, and multiple Billboard awards. She was inducted into the BMI  Songwriters Hall of Fame and is listed as one of VH1's top 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. With a resume like that, it's no wonder she has garnered a great deal of respect as a mover and shaker within the recording industry. I'm not here to pile on more accolades, or maybe I am. What I will say is that her "salsa es muy caliente." Without further ado, Party Favorz honors Gloria Estefan with an induction into the Diva Hall of Fame. Que FABULOSO!

I figured it was time to check my white-ass at the door and step into another world to put some funk back in my step. Culminating some of the finest Funk, Soul, R&B, and Disco all under the House music umbrella,…blah, blah, blah. Site collapsed yesterday; the original post is lost and I'm not re-entering it again; Siteground (my host) sucks my balls; PayPal dropped out as a result; and everything is moving at a snail's pace despite having done NOTHING to my site; zero, zip...NADA. I posted this new set and several hours later everything is offline. When it came back online; everything was jacked up. I'm working on getting PayPal operational and have submitted my umpteenth request to get my site running at top speed again. I could pay a fraction of the cost to host this site on GoDaddy and not have anywhere near the issues (meaning no calls into support) that I have with Siteground. Every day I wake up and it's something new with these folks. Billy, if you're reading this; check your email. I sent you something last night that should take care of you for now. Everyone else, don't bother reaching out. I'm going to get this shit fixed and will be incommunicado the rest of the day. Enjoy.

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!

This set is so slamming that if I sit on it another week, I'll end up mucking it up with some new tunes that come out over the next few days and better to leave perfection alone. I kick it off with the welcome return of Billie Ray Martin's latest The Glitter Gutter. Vocally, she's never sounded better and the dark underpinning of the lyrics suits Offer Nissim's Dramatic rendering. PA hottie Jason Walker's So Happy finally has some newer mixes I can sink my teeth into. Though the Moto Blanco mix does the best justice to this uplifting song, Toy Armada and DJ Grind get huge props for taking it up a notch without getting bogged down in boring repetitive beats that totally lose the essence of the original. Not trying to rag on the other DJs on this two-set release but seriously, you need to step up your game. Rupaul and AB Soto hit all the right notes with the fun Cha Cha Bitch, while Spin Sista truly deliver the anthem in Meghan Trainor's huge No. Ari Gold really brings it to the floor with his latest Turn Out the Night while DJ Maycon Reis surprises with Lost and Found by Ellie Goulding. In fact, I'd keep an eye on this guy because it's clear he has the ear and the skills to churn out some monsters. DJ Ranny continues to amaze with his remix of I Don't See Them by SR. I am really impressed with his work lately since he appears to be pulling out some truly original vibes not typically found in your run of the mill circuit tunes though we are still partial to his tribal Latin beats when it's required. There's no need to mention Barry Harris since we all know how I feel about him. I will say that his bootleg re-work of Beyonce's Freedom is spectacular; so much so I passed on the dredge that is her duet with Drake. I do need to mention that the cover art is lifted from a photo shoot for AussieBum. I usually go for the sexier hot guy pics but was carrying over the summer theme from yesterdays EDM Sessions. The only problem is that the more I look at this photo, the more it looks like a postcard or advert for Key West or some other hot gay vacation spot. A little too happy and campy if you ask me or maybe I'm just a cynic. Then again, Key West is a lot of fun if you've never been. That's all I got for now. Not sure where I'm heading next on releases until we get into Pride season; even then, I don't have my plans drawn up but am pretty confident I'll work it out over the next few weeks. Until then ...ENJOY! Album : Gay Days 2016 Genre : Circuit, Progressive, Tribal Year : 2016 Total Time : 01:37:25 Billie Ray Martin - The Glittering Gutter (Offer Nissim Remix)

As a result, once you narrow down the genres where you know they're likely to show up at, you listen ...and listen ...and listen until you strike gold and then pick up where you left off. In fact, that process takes hours to pour through all the potential songs that ultimately make up the Trash Disco series. Fortunately, I am a die-hard disco fanatic who is very studied in the genre and can sniff out the beat in a new recording 30 years after it was originally released, in most cases. Some sampled tunes these days are lifted from really rare releases making it damn near impossible to identify unless I stumble across the original and have an "a-ha" moment (which has happened). With the exception of the originally titled re-works in the tracklist, here's what else is buried between the grooves should your inquiring mind want to know: D-I-S-C-O, Funk, and Soul ...it's all represented and I got one more of these heading your way tomorrow just in time to start your Memorial Day weekend.

Then, I started digging around for a replacement mix of Dazz as the version I had was appreciable but the guy who did it was pretty much out of his element. Then, I stumbled upon Digital Visions who is one of a multitude of devotees to all things re-edits, especially in the Disco realm. How I missed him previously is beyond me because while several of his like-minded rivals range from really bad to fairly decent; he just blows them out of the water LOL. I'll be reaching out to him shortly to work out some sort of deal for use of his work but we'll keep that under wraps. DO check out his SoundCloud page if you're a fan. Here's a list of the songs that may not immediately stand out to you until you listen to them: I hope everyone has a fantastic Memorial Day weekend and if you live somewhere else, find a party; I'm pretty sure there's one going on near you. Until the next time ...ENJOY! At this point, I can safely say that Party Favorz has all of the bases covered for your holiday weekend needs. Whether it's funky house, EDM, circuit or disco; I've been rolling them out on a conveyor belt in a chocolate factory.

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!

I won't bother writing it up again but it's there if you want to have a good laugh. For the next four sets, I've flipped the narrative keeping my focus on "circuit anthems," which for the most part touch on all the bases that lift the gay anthem narrative. The songs are taken from the mid-millennium to present day with a few earlier choice cuts. I tried not to duplicate anything from my previous Pride Classics and Epic Circuit Anthems series but it is possible there may be some overlap. A lot of the music represented here goes back to the days of Perfect Beat. I don't how many of you remember them, but they were to defacto go to for club music CD maxis. They also tried to set up one of the first online download services. The business model just wasn't there and they lacked the resources necessary to make it work before getting their skirt handed to them by Beatport, Juno, Traxsource and certainly iTunes. Having purchased a ton of music from their online store, I remember them fondly because there are a lot of songs over the next four sets that are taken from those discs. I'll be dropping part 2 tomorrow and will roll out three more next week before taking a break for the rest of the month. Then in July, we got the Summer Edition, Beach House and who knows what else might bounce out of my head. It's heating up outside and the weekend is almost here. Until tomorrow ...ENJOY!

Barry's recent epic re-work of the Jim Steinman classic Total Eclipse of the Heart sung by Bonnie Tyler is so f@cking HUGE, I couldn't help myself. The same could be said about the Chris Cox remix of Christina's Hurt. There is more drama kicking this set off, General Hospital should step aside please. Hex Hector closes this set out with the fabulous Harem by Sarah Brightman (one of my ALL-TIME favorites). The woman puts on an amazing show and is absolutely mesmerizing in concert. The lush middle eastern treatment Hex spins on the original while making it club-friendly is one of his most notable if not infamous feats in production. I've got two more of these plus something a bit newer and fresher for the final Pride set going up next week. So if you're feeling these, be sure to be on the lookout. I'm also putting the finishing touches on the next Mixtape called Summer Chill that I'm so giddy about, it may make an early appearance on this site as opposed to the July 4th holiday release I had planned. Stay tuned for more information on that later. That's all I got for this cool early summer morning. I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and as always ...ENJOY!

After all, we have a republican congress that denies science, stifles any and all conversation about restricting what types of guns that can be purchased legally all under a misunderstood interpretation of the 2nd Amendment; and openly promote hate, racism, and homophobia under the guise of their pretend god. We have a leading presidential candidate who has seized on all of the above to promote his candidacy for President while the members of his own party run as far away as they can only after it becomes clear many of them will lose their seat because of their affiliation with this ass-clown. (hint: you create it, you own it). I stand by my original statement in the previous post but will expand it to include ALL religions, not just Islam. Was the slaughter of 49 and injury of 53 innocent people the result of self-loathing homophobia? terrorism? mental illness? I'd say all of the above, but the underlying foundation that propels individuals to harm others is almost ALWAYS religion. In this case, Islam. Whether peaceful as many say or not (I have my serious doubts) the purpose of religion is to control the masses and impose a very narrow and strict belief set of questionable principles on people's lives; principles that the majority of the enforcers don't live by themselves. To be clear, I'm a pretty open person and accept most people; even Republicans and/or those that seek spiritual solace through religion. What I won't tolerate are folks imposing those views or passing judgment on me. Those that are vocally hostile and judgmental towards others because of some perceived lack of morality are 10 out of 10 times shining a light on their own private bad behavior. From meth-smoking religious leaders hooking up with male prostitutes to "supposed" experts testifying in court against gay parents adopting children and later caught soliciting men on gay escort apps; recent history alone is replete with examples of the outlandish hypocrisy of the morally righteous. I'm off my soapbox. We have one more set of mixes to go and the final one is nothing short of AWESOME. Until the next time ...ENJOY!

It's intended to be a bit reflective with a lot of bouncy fun you'd expect from a Pride celebration. This set draws from future house hits of the past few years (What I Did For Love, Go All Night, I Got U, Real Love, Hustlin') to current hits like the fabulously funky Air Miles by Me & My Toothbrush and the disco hit taken from the HBO series Vinyl, Kill the Lights. Of course, the big winners here are modern-day bootleg re-edits of Gloria Gaynor's definitive anthem I Will Survive, Diana Ross' proclamation anthem I'm Coming Out to Madonna's everyday celebratory Holiday. Sandwich these with plain ole fun modern twists of Shannon's Let the Music Play, Vicetone's Hawt Stuff (think Donna Summer), 2 B Real (think Cheryl Lynn), Daft Punk's Around the World, and George Michael's Fast Love and you got yourself one big-ass Pride throw-down. I've got more that didn't make this year's cut so I thought I'd save them for 2017, which is Party Favorz's 10 year anniversary and likely our last but that's for a later discussion. For now, we don't let the shit news of the week keep us down. Instead, we get LOUDER and PROUDER making our voices heard! IT'S TIME TO CELEBRATE with some modern gay pride anthems for a new generation of revelers! Happy Pride Everybody!

Things kick off with Zedd & Aloe Blacc's ode to Willy Wonka's Candyman and totally rewritten lyrics turning it into an uplifting song about peace, love, and unity; something we could ALL use about now. Throw in a little bounce (Los Angeles) and reggae-bump (Jetlag) and the beautifully elegant Finally, you kinda get a feel as to where this set is heading; but then ... I switch gears to J Paul Getto's Vibe; a song I've been sitting on since March as I knew exactly where I wanted it to appear. I'm not sure what song this samples but the overall feel-good 70's "soul-vibe" is so addictive I can listen to it on repeat all day long and never get sick of it. Shortly after, we move into Midnight Bumper, which I'd swear is a pumped-up instrumental of Grace Jones' version of La Vie En Rose. From there we move into some late-night soul tracks, which set the mood for a glass of wine and a few puffs from your peace pipe [grin]. Next up is another feel-good track Bertie Bassett's The Only One, which channels the fantastic 1999 smash Big Love by Pete Heller. Wait for the drop and you'll immediately recognize the vocal sample by Party Favorz' favorite DIVA, Miss Loleatta. I'm a sucker for these samples, but only when it works and this just hits it out of the park. Truth is, every song included here is a winner but Kevin Karlson and Nelly's Got the Love just feels right as does last year's mega-hit Es Vedra by Gabriel & Castellon. Oh course, this wouldn't be a proper summertime chill set without the easy-breezy Summertime, originally a hit for Will Smith in the early 90s. I dropped the instrumental house version which just screams summer. Finally, I bring things to a close with Emapea's Good Old Days, and its heavy early 90's production makes it the perfect closer for this set. I had so many fantastic songs to work with this go-around, I had to leave several on the floor but have every intention of coming back at the end of August with a Summer Farewell mixtape that will include them plus new favorites.

With a treasure trove of his mixes stored in a dedicated folder, I finally carved out the time to assemble these sets—and trust me, they're absolute roof-raisers that Victor Calderone fans will love. Delving into his life story or his ascension to being Madonna's go-to DJ isn't the focus here; he's spoken at length about these in various interviews. What stands out about Victor Calderone is his efficiency; he's known for turning out some of his best work in a week's time. This "don't overthink it" philosophy has significantly influenced my approach to creating episodes for this site, a lesson I wish I had absorbed earlier in my career. These curated sets were crafted in a single take, fine-tuned later to enhance their flow. Clocking in at more than nine minutes each, they've been pre and post-mastered for an impeccable audio experience. Special attention went into Sarah Brightman's rendition of "Dust in the Wind," which I discovered in my collection. The song had a glitch toward its end, a flaw that I've now rectified for your listening pleasure. Contrary to popular belief, Victor Calderone did not remix certain songs often attributed to him. For example, he did remix Destiny Child's version of the Samantha Sang classic, "Emotion," but he didn't touch "Emotions," performed by Elle Patrice which was remixed by Tony Moran. Likewise, the popular remix of Kristine W's "O Holy Night" wasn't Calderone's work either but that of Illicit, who also made a splash during Victor's heyday. Nowadays, Victor Calderone maintains an active presence in the industry but has shifted his focus towards darker, more subdued original productions. You can still catch his live sets, as he continues to tour extensively. Check out his schedule on Resident Advisor to see when he'll be gracing a venue near you. In an industry filled with talent, Victor Calderone stands out for his consistency, versatility, and his undeniable influence on progressive house music. As a creator, he's taught us the value of trusting one's instincts, a lesson that holds weight whether you're crafting a nine-minute mix or a sprawling tribute series like this one. It's an honor for Party Favorz to pay tribute to Victor Calderone and his invaluable contributions to the world of progressive house music. His legacy is a testament to the transformative power of the genre, and his enduring work continues to inspire both fans and fellow artists alike. Until the next time...ENJOY!

This edition brings you an assortment of chart-toppers, iconic hits, and some unexpected bootlegs that showcase the depth of Calderone's mastery over the turntables. One track that demands attention is K.D. Lang's "Summerfling," a song that epitomizes summer love, wrapped in Victor Calderone's beats. Alongside this, we have Shapeshifters' "Lola's Theme," a track that Calderone turns into an irresistible siren's call to the dance floor. If sultry rhythms are more your style, you'll adore Calderone's take on Beyoncé's "Naughty Girl." He keeps the sensuality of the original but elevates it into an anthem of empowerment. Bette Midler's "I'm Beautiful" receives the Victor Calderone treatment, making the song an even more powerful testament to self-love and acceptance. But it's Madonna's "Frozen" that proves to be a defining moment in Calderone's career, signaling his swift ascent in the dance music scene. His remix breathes new life into this Madonna classic, accentuating its haunting melody while adding a pulsating beat that keeps you glued to the dance floor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WZAdxl7ffA Speaking of Madonna, Victor Calderone's remix of "Bedtime Story," also penned by the Queen of Pop, seamlessly complements her tracks from the "Ray of Light" era. Though it came out long after the original, it feels like a missing puzzle piece that completes the picture. This particular remix could comfortably fit between "Sky Fits Heaven" and "Skin," capturing the essence of what makes Madonna's music perennially relevant. Another interesting addition to this set is an unreleased bootleg of Britney Spears' "Everytime." While it might feel a tad unfinished, it’s an intriguing what-could-have-been, showcasing Calderone's knack for making even the most challenging tracks remix-worthy. With the 4th of July weekend just around the corner and some other engagements on the horizon, stay tuned for the third and final installment in this Victor Calderone tribute series, dropping tomorrow for your holiday pleasure.

Highlights from this concluding volume include the ethereal sounds of "Beautiful" by Mandalay, Madonna's chart-topping "Die Another Day," and the soulful gospel groove of Mary Mary's "Shackles (Praise You)" turned upside down into a big room floor-filler like only Calderone could do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eCCvrP223c Also making the cut are the electro-vibes in Goldfrapp's "Strict Machine" and the vocal powerhouse in Dynamix & Tina Ann's "Don't Want Another Man."

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,

Party Favorz has been on a roll and I decided to go ahead and drop the annual Summer Edition featuring some of the biggest circuit beats of the moment. We kick things off with Kristine W's (soon to be yet another #1) Out There, which admittedly took me awhile to get on board with but I'm firmly in her camp on this now. Looking forward to the second set of mixes that are scheduled to come out for this song. Israeli hotty Guy Scheiman brings us an unlikely update to the Carly Simon classic about her ex, Warren Beatty You're So Vain. At first I was like, what the hell are you thinking? After listening to the fantastic vocals by Michal S, I really started getting into it and I'm pretty certain you will too. Anderson Thacher and Pepper MaShay are currently riding high with You Stop Breakin My Heart. The release has plenty of stellar remixes to choose from but I took the progressive root with Tracy's mix. Given the current state of the union, Andra Day's Rise Up has been one of the most significant if not poignant releases this summer. Folks, I think we're on the brink of reliving the 60s all over again, just keep your guns at home. I should go ahead and mention Dirty Disco's fabulous re-work of the Kim English classic Unspeakable Joy, a song very near and dear to my heart. Given Kim's history of fame to shame, many of you might consider this a cringe-worthy choice but I respectfully disagree. No matter the singer, we OWN this motherfucking song. If it wasn't for us, there would be no song nor any Kim English. JOY!Unspeakable Joy!'Cause they did not give it, they cannot take it away! So re-purposing this song for our own needs is our right and I thank the boys (Mark D & JD Arnold) a.k.a. Dirty Disco for updating this song and reminding us what we do have. San Francisco's tiny little gay music label that could, Swishcraft is riding high with Toy Armada, DJ Grind and Ultra Nate's One Night in Heaven, which is also currently moving up the dance charts. They also just dropped Move Your Body by Caroline Lund and Leo Frappier, which I've been all over since I heard it just last week. The remix package on this is equally as compelling, with so many tribal-i-cious choices. I can't begin to tell you how many folks have posted their longing for the return of high-quality circuit house music; well this is it and Swishcraft is currently doing their best to fill the void, so be sure to support their efforts. ...and then there is Barry, oh how I do love thee. I get proudly erect at the mere mention of his name. I don't think I've released a circuit set in the last two years that didn't have one of his mixes on it. This time we get a monster re-boot of Dreamer by J...

When I dropped this popular series back in 2009, it had transitioned into the System Edition as the musical landscape was becoming more obtuse, electronic and frankly (IMHO) difficult to enjoy. Ultimately, I dropped it altogether. The original series actually started out as a mish-mash of Soulful house, Deep House, Tech House, Minimal and Electronica depending on what was left over from previous sets. At its peak, the genres began to taper down to more Deep House and Tech House, which is what moved so many of you, that still have fond memories and long for those days. I've always said that music (especially house music) is cyclical. A certain style is in vogue one day and the next day it's out, then bounces back again a decade or so later. Witness the rise of NuDisco, which is nothing more than modern-day version of its parent Disco. The same can be said for Deep House and Tech House. Those genres really had moved away from their roots (or evolved if you will) but now appear to be swinging back around. I do believe I've captured the feel and spirit of those earlier sets with Back Into the Deep but I'll let you folks decide if I move forward with this new incarnation. In the interim, I have fully re-instated the back catalog for the Deep Edition for premium subscribers, though some of the earlier versions had two sets in one post, in which case I made the first set available for free and the second strictly for premium members. You'll have to figure it out on your own because the posting format that I used in the early days was a bit convoluted. Anyway, let me know what you think. The success or failure of this series is solely dependent on YOU; so make your voice heard or it will be back to the dustbin of history once again. I'll be back tomorrow with some cool funky house for ya. Until then ...ENJOY!

The 2016 Pool Party is simply a renaming of the annual Beach House Edition but still has the bright Disco House fun you normally expect from the series. Things kick off with a sunny bootleg remix of the 80s Tears for Fears classic Everybody Wants to Rule the World, which should immediately put a smile on your face. If it doesn't, then there is something seriously wrong with your mindset. From there, Soul singer Leroy Burgess re-works one of his classic tunes Barely Breaking Even with Sweden's OPOLOPO delivering a satisfying 80s R&B dance remix that keeps up that fuzzy feelgood feeling. If you haven't picked up on it yet, there are a lot of classics reworked for this set. CeCe Peniston's early 90s house smash Finally gets the treatment along with Nightcrawler's Push the Feeling On and a personal favorite from 1989, Good Life by Inner City (a song I hold near and dear to my heart). Bob Marley has been popping up everywhere lately and this time it's a dance floor remix of Could Be Loved. I'm thinking his music has either entered into the public domain or his family has opened up his catalog for sampling and outright remakes. As a Marley fan, I couldn't be happier. We delve into a bit of deeper house music for a bit with Miss Barbra Tucker finally declaring "I don't know what you came here to do." Two snaps for the queen of House Music because she just did it. Nora En Pure delivers a classic beach house anthem that will soothe your mind, body, and soul and New Order has teamed with Claptone for a sweet house version of People on the High Line. We get back into the classic re-works with Cyrstal Waters Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless) another song near and dear to my heart followed by an unexpected re-work of the late 70s rock anthem Black Betty that works so well as a house-floor shaker, it makes you wonder why no one had the balls to pull this off ages ago. Finally, I close things out with a near faithful re-work of the late 70s disco classic Boogie Oogie Oogie by Taste of Honey, which may leave you wanting more. Never fear, I'm working on some new Trash Disco sets for next week. With yesterday's tragedy in France, I've decided to stay off of my soapbox since this insanity is becoming an all too common occurrence. Instead, I've decided to change my icon to show support and unity with the French people in their time of grief. Anything I have to say about the state of the human race and politics will be reserved for later in the fall once the US elections begin heating up. For now, I'm pretty certain folks know what I think about the willful ignorance and outright stup...

I hooked up with one of the best disco-edit queens on the internet DJ FreddyG a.k.a. Digital Visions whose 70's and 80's recreations are simply outstanding!! You're gonna see a lot of his work in the next three sets, which mixes in various bootlegs from Soundcloud and some new stuff from Dr. Packer that I picked up at Juno Downloads. Right now, it's all about rump-shaking bootylicious classics that have been perfectly updated for your disco indulgence. Enjoy!

At this point, I've pretty much convinced myself that Odyssey's Native New Yorker is quite possibly my all-time favorite disco anthem. At the time, I hadn't saved enough money from mowing lawns to buy my own record player yet and had to rely on my sister's which for some inextricable reason was located on a top shelf in her bedroom closet, though connected. When she wasn't there, I'd have to grab the ladder from the garage and set it up so I could listen to this 45, which I would play over and over, while imagining myself on roller skates dancing with my favorite unknown boyfriend under the disco lights. I was a weird kid for certain but often fantasized about unrealistic things about where I saw my future life. To this day, the song still conjures up those same feelings. Each tune in this set is massive and reached the upper echelons of the Billboard disco chart. So sit back and relax or put on your spandex and platforms and get ready to boogie!

There are other things I'd like to put out in the BackSpin category so I'll be setting these on the back-burner for the moment. But hey, you've got a total of seven, yes seven in this group should you want to throw a disco party. The beats or (BPM) in this final set start around 128 and slowly build up to 134, so it is a bit faster than the last two. If you're wondering why Amii Stewart's classic Knock on Wood doesn't make an appearance despite being on the cover art, is because I just could make it work. I'll set it aside for a future set to see what I can do. In the meantime, get ready for some more rump-shaking fun and shake your groove thing! I'll be back next week with Madonna's birthday celebration mix. Until then ...ENJOY!

Her first big break came with the group Electribe 101 whose Talking With Myself is considered a classic in all its various incarnations. The original version released in 1988 still holds up to this day but got a makeover by none other than Frankie Knuckles in 1990. However, it wasn't until 1998 when a new set of remixes by Canny (one a Trance mix and the other a Chill mix) both won the hearts and minds of club-goers and the electronic music community. By the mid-90s Electribe 101 had broken up while negotiating a new record contract and Billie ultimately went solo and was signed to Sire/Warner in the US. The resulting album was the mesmerizing Deadline For My Memories coupled with Kristine W's Land of the Living (released around the same time in 1996 in the US) held a very special place in my musical heart, even to this day. That album contained many songs that were slated for the second Electribe 101 album including Your Loving Arms, which went on to massive success at radio and in the clubs. It's unclear as to why Billie Ray left Warner records but it may have had something to do with her not being allowed to record in a Memphis studio, a lifelong dream of hers. From there, Billie Ray has controlled her destiny releasing material on her own labels or in collaboration with other artists. Musically, she swings from electronic and house to circuit and deep house. With unmatched vocal skills that are perfectly suited for the Stax influence of artists like Aretha Franklin, you can see just how easily it translates into the aforementioned genres. While the mix I've created in her honor comes nowhere close to her output over the years, it's a good start. It is with great love and respect that Party Favorz honors Billie Ray Martin by inducting her into the Diva Hall of Fame. You're in good company.

Madonna's birthday celebration for 2k16 is chock-full of bootleg fabulosity! I haven't created a full-on circuit set for her majesty since 2010 and based on the songs I was coming across, it became pretty clear that's where this set was heading. Just based on this site's stats, I know we've got a ton of circuit lovers here and it's a given that Madonna reigns the Diva Hall of Fame. Just like peanut butter and chocolate, these are two great tastes that go together. This set relies heavily on bootlegs from Rebel Heart and M.D.N.A. but also pulls from her vast catalog going back to the 80s with bootlegs that are so well done, they could have been official. HenriqMoraes one-ups Matt Moss's take on Like a Virgin by delivering a bouncy tribal fun adaption of the original while VMC turns the best version EVER of What It Feels Like For a Girl (and some awesome remixes that accompanied that release). Even though it's a dub, Luke DB, Umberto Balzanelli & Michelle give us the best version of Hung Up that frankly never existed with the official mixes. Sorry, but those were always lacking and Leanh delivers the hands-down winner of all the bootlegs with a remake of my least favorite song from American Life, Nobody Knows. His progressively tribal version is just so fun, it's a wonder nobody ever thought of this treatment. VMC takes Bedtime Story and Victor Calderone's unreleased version on steroids ensuring a circuit lover's wet dream. Ralphi Rosario delivers an 11+ minute progressively tribal opus to Erotica, while Thiago Anthony gives Frozen a 21st-century circuit makeover. I reached out to Barry Harris to see if he had anything new in the works but sadly he did not. When I told him his version of Deeper and Deeper + Vogue made the cut, he suggested Ghosttown. I tried to make it work, but his more house-up rendition (which I love) just sapped the energy out of the set so I went with DJ Paulo and Jackinsky instead. He's a super nice guy so I'm pretty certain he took it well. Finally, I close the set out with a mashup by Noface between Madonna and Me and My Toothbrush's Gold Member. This pretty much sets the stage for a fun Chic-Esque disco rework of the original that's guaranteed to put a smile on your face if you haven't heard it yet. Every year I try to outdo myself on these mixes and always fret as to what I'm going to come up with. While I've always been pleased with the final result, this year I can honestly say I am beyond stoked. From the artwork, and track selection (yes, I had a lot to go through) to the actual mixing, this is one solid set that should set the dance floor on FIRE...

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!

So, I thought I'd go ahead and drop this massive bomb on everyone as a little TGIF early morning gift when you wake up. The Summer Circuit Edition pt.2 picks right up where we left off with sizzling tribal beats for those hot sticky nights. Things kick-off with Offer Nissim's dark and divalicious We Can Make It and then just steam rolls through the rest of the set.  While not a huge radio hit, I Ain't Your Mama (Jennifer Lopez) has hit all the right notes with us gay folk and Danny Verde gets serious in his remix of the song. As you would expect, he uses deep and progressive beats while keeping the lively attitude of the lyrics intact. Score! Betty Who returns with an unexpected remake of I Love You Always Forever originally sung by one-hit wonder Donna Lewis. This is one of those songs I'd prefer to not remember from the 90's but it works surprisingly well. Even more so on the laid-back version coming up on the next installment of Summer Chill. Give it a few spins and you'll be singing along like a happy little love bird. It's Britney, BITCH! and she's back with a new single and new album in the works. Of course, leave it to Barry Harris to snatch that puppy up and work the shit out of it. Brazil's HenriqMoraes whips out a bootleg for Jason Derulo's Want To Want Me even after the label kinda didn't support it that much. We never got the full 7th Heaven version of this catchy pop tune but Henriq stays true his style, while maintaining the fun "pop" of the original. If his name is familiar from another recent post, it's because he also re-worked Madonna's Like a Virgin, which landed on her most recent Diva Hall of Fame set. This guy has a good ear and knows his shit and should be someone you should follow. I'm fairly certain he's got some tricks up his sleeves and will surprise us in the coming year. Not another all-girl group! Well, yes and frankly I'm really digging these chicks. Fourever1 are quadruplets picked up by Randy Jackson's label. I dropped an EDM version of All About Tonight on Summer Slammers pt. 2 and am now sending up Ranny's fantastic version. He stays in the framework of the original but gives it some super-juice by banging those beats pretty hard. Cheap Thrills by Sia should have made an appearance back in Spring but I forgot to include it. Then again on Gay Days and I forgot again. Then again on Summer Circuit Edition pt.1 and for some fucked up reason I forgot again. The good news is that the song has been one of those creeping up the pop charts making it one of the biggest summer hits for 2016. Relevance is key in this instance (even if I do pride myself on picking the hits before they actually are one).

I saved the post in WordPress (my blogging platform) and left for some breakfast. When I came back, I noticed there was a new WordPress update and another for a plugin I've used religiously since the beginning called Jetpack. I updated both only to find that I couldn't publish my awesome post for Summer Farewell. Think of plugins like apps for your smartphone. You get notices of frequent updates, which are usually patches for security holes or in other cases enhancements. You would be foolish not to update these on a regular basis as they become available, but that is for another discussion. I took the usual steps of deactivating each of the plugins on my site to determine the issue that was preventing me from posting only to find (after several of you emailed) one issue after another. Jetpack is one of those plugins that has over 30 different services within one and has been around for a long time, It's awesome, it's stable, not bloated, and doesn't slow down your site. However, after disabling each service that I did use from within the plugin itself, I determined that their 'spelling and grammar' service for writing posts was indeed the main culprit. I wrote to the author of the plugin confirming all the steps I had taken to come to my conclusion and he was very helpful (unlike other authors who either never respond or are just complete assholes). Unfortunately, he did not have an immediate fix so I had to dump the plugin and replace each of the pertinent services with alternate plugins for the full functionality of Party Favorz. It's likely I'll go back to them at some point but for the time being, the most important issue was getting the site working. During this process, I had also rolled my site back to a previous state only to lose my awesome post and I didn't have a copy on my hard drive [sigh]. Recreating it again was out of the cards. Thankfully, I had already uploaded the mix to Amazon for storage, which is where you great folks are downloading from. At the same time all this was occurring, Windows 10 on my computer forced the Anniversary update and totally wrecked my computer. After the update, I was only getting a black screen. When I tried to roll it back it did not work. I had to reset my computer a multitude of times and start all over again, only to find that the very first update to Windows would cause the same black screen issue again. Then I read about the millions of people that either had that issue or one of 20 or so from their obviously not-well-tested massive update. I started a chat with them in their forum and performed all of the steps they suggested then one day they just s...

None of these songs would have been suitable for inclusion in upcoming sets I have planned but were too damn good to let go to waste. Hence, the return of the Deep Edition. I sorted them fairly quickly and settled on about 20 for inclusion in a new set. I put it all together, listened to it and then threw out three songs. Cleaned up the mix, remastered it and BOOM what a deeply-delicious set this turned out to be. There is one song that sounds like it could be included in one of the more commercial EDM sets but looking at what I've already got there, I figured it would likely be left on the cutting room floor so kept it here. From House Music, Deep House, Tech and Progressive House, this mish-mash of holdovers really does the trick when you just need something that's not Britney, Taylor or Justin. This is the "Shit I Like" and it just works. I hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend and as always ...ENJOY!

I kick things off with a couple of straight-up house tunes, both remakes. The first should be very familiar to every Pet Shops Boys fan as Sterling Void takes on It's All Aright and delivers a straight rendition of the original with Eric Kupper at the boards providing a smooth remix. This version is so faithful to the original, it almost makes me wish the PSB vocals were used since I keep thinking of the original every time I hear this. That's not to take away from this rendition but it is a testament to how deeply ingrained Neil Tennant's vocals are to the original classic. This is followed by Chocolate Dice's I'm An Addict, which uses select portions of Toto's 1979 hit Georgie Porgie. This is actually a smart take of the original even if we don't get the fabulous Cheryl Lynn performing vocal chores on the chorus. I had to go back and listen to the original and realized just how much I really enjoy this song. Lee Walker & DJ Deeon's massive hit Freak Like Me get's an 80's disco remake proving how versatile this song is. It just works. We quickly move into some 70's style funk with Bad Boy Bill & J Paul Getto on Do Your Thing before launching into DJ Meme's self-described remix of "epic proportions" of Donna Summer's MacArthur Park. This put's the recent Rosabel version to shame as Meme really drives this one home proving his long-lasting devotion to all things disco. I followed this with a last minute entry by Richard Burton's remake of another 70's classic Bad Luck. DJ Spen's dirty garage house version is so good that there was no way I could leave this song out for a future set. You'll notice a certain back in forth within the house, disco, and funk genres before all of a sudden I make an abrupt switch-up to some Soulful house. Dawn Tallman's latest Teardrops (a remake of the late 90's classic by Lovestation) is nothing short of brilliant. Once again Eric Kupper handles the remix duties but there is also an excellent version by Stonebridge and Sted-E & Hybrib Heights. I'm hoping for a big circuit-house version at some point because Cole Plante has already delivered his take on this classic, which is making an appearance on the 2016 Fall Edition dropping tomorrow. ' Another personal favorite is Alicia Keys' In Common, which has had some stellar house remixes including the Groove Junkies. Wait until tomorrow when you hear what Barry Harris did with the song because it's going to blow you away! From there, things begin to heat up again for more funk and disco before closing things out with a skillful re-work ...

After another summer that beat record-breaking temperatures from 2015, don't tell me there isn't global warming. The good news from this hot mess, is that the circuit beats keep getting equally as hot as Party Favorz presents the 2016 Fall Edition. We kick things off with the Danny Verde progressive remix of Boys Like You by Who Is Fancy, who with some big names behind him (Scooter Braun and Dr. Luke) managed to rope in Meghan Trainor & Ariana Grande for additional vocal duties. The end result is a fun romp through camp that only WIF could pull off. Expect to be hearing this A LOT in clubs and circuit events this fall. The heat quickly builds up into a massive mashup with the infamous Lula in the mix before moving into the head-turning remix of Alicia Keys latest In Common. Barry Harris totally flips the script on this slow burner making it a cross between big-time Ibiza vs. tribal while throwing in a bit of George Kranz (Din Daa Daa) into the mix. I was totally blown away the minute I heard this; that is until we get to one of Barry's original mashups below. I am such a HUGE fan of Betty Who's remake of I Love You Always Forever, I was pleased to find out Toy Armada & DJ Grind remixed the song. With their big room sweeping sound, it just fits so perfectly it should have the boys singing along in unity. Currently, we have competing remakes of the Lovestation classic Teardrops running up the Billboard club charts by Cole Plante and Dawn Tallman. Both are equally good but Dawn gets the edge in that it's well... Dawn. We don't have a big room circuit-styled remix from her yet but I predict we will. In the meantime, Cole does an outstanding job with remixes by Chris Cox and Toy Armada & DJ Grind. He plays with the lyrics a bit to make them more suitable for a male singer, but there is no mistaking the classic seeds of the original. Skylar Stecker delivers a worthy remake of the Eurythmics' classic Sweet Dreams (#1 Billboard Club Dance a week ago) and Bent Collective (a.k.a. Steve Redant and Danny Verde) churn out a release for Swishcraft Get Up Stand Up. While I prefer the original, for the sake of cohesiveness I went with the more progressive mix by Louis Lennon, which scales back the vocals much to my dismay. Now, we get to one of Barry Harris' shiniest moments in circuit history. I guess a little musical education may be in order for those of you not old enough to appreciate the songs used in his mashup; so here it goes: Musique was a last minute throw-together by Bob Blank of four women (Jocelyn Brown, Angela Howell, Gina Tharps and Christine Wiltshire) of which Jocelyn Brown went on...

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,

I've been hoping and praying she might release an album of all-new material, which would generate new remixes for inclusion in a comprehensive set featuring the Divine Miss M. While no such album has materialized, she still records and tours. Lately, much of her focus has been on classics, which frankly showcase her amazing vocal elasticity. From the aforementioned classics (50's, 60's, you name it) to rock, house, ballads, and yes even disco (I've got a rare remastered recording you're going to be tickled pink over included), there ain't nothing this woman can't tackle. Bette is a Grammy, Emmy, Golden Globe winner, and Oscar nominee for best actress in one of my all-time favorite movies The Rose (she was robbed of the Oscar IMHO), and is a well-known NYC green/environmental activist. Then there is Beaches, a movie we gay folk hold near and dear to our hearts. If you've never seen it, you can keep your gay card as long as you do but also keep a box of Kleenex by your side because you're gonna need it. From Broadway and bathhouses to sold-out comedy tours and concerts, there isn't anything the woman hasn't accomplished in life. Well, maybe one. Girlfriend, you and Cher need to hook up and do a duet, movie, or something. You both complement each other perfectly, so we'll just throw that on our bucket list and bow down to the DIVA goddess' and hope they answer our prayers (fingers crossed). This set was fairly easy to put together and after a request from one of my longtime followers, I decided now was the time. Marshall, this one's for you. ENJOY!

Patti's powerful vocals made her a standout in the group (though they subsequently reformed in the 90s) as she eventually went solo with a sustained and successful career that has lasted decades. From Gospel and Ballads (The Best Is Yet to Come, On My Own) and Disco (Music Is My Way of Life) to 80's pop (New Attitude, Stir It Up) and 90s R&B/House (Turn It Out, Shoe on the Other Foot, When You Talk about Love) the woman is a force to be reckoned with. I'm sorry that I cannot spend more time providing accolades to Miss Patti, but I just literally escaped a two-day nightmare from Emory (world-renowned hospital) with my IV still embedded yesterday and just saw my PCP who has now gotten me a bed at a neighboring hospital which he is affiliated. Long story, but I'm not in the best of shape these days. I just wanted to make sure I got this out since it's been complete for a couple of weeks now and let's face it, WHO DOESN'T LOVE PATTI? I'll slap you down if you say you don't because you haven't listened to this magnificent representation (albeit limited) of her contributions to house music. Without further ado, Party Favorz is thrilled to induct Miss Patti LaBelle into the Diva Hall of Fame.

The Supremes or Diana Ross & the Supremes as they were known in the waning years of the 60s were the reigning queens out of a multitude of girl groups. The 70s were a decade of obsolescence for the girls, while the 80s began the uptick with Bananarama, Expose, the Go-Gos, and the Bangles. Once the 90s rolled around, girl groups were all the fashion with massively successful SWV, En Vogue, TLC, and Salt 'n' Pepa taking up the girl group rap mantle. However, the most successful girl group of that decade was the Spice Girls. The original lineup consisted of Melanie Brown/Mel B."Scary Spice," Melanie Chisholm/Melanie C."Sporty Spice," Emma Bunton "Baby Spice," Geri Halliwell "Ginger Spice," and Victoria Beckham "Posh Spice." The marketing of individual personalities in the form of spice, with each reflecting a different type of woman, was pure marketing genius. In 1996, the brand (yes, it was a brand) became a global phenomenon with their debut single Wannabe, which reached number one in 37 countries. The Spice Girls went on to sell 80 million records worldwide and had a global franchise worth $500-800 million between 1996-1998. In May 1998, Geri Halliwell announced her departure from the group citing "differences" not necessarily artistic or personality differences, just "differences." By the end of 2000, the Spice Girls announced they would be going on indefinite status, effectively breaking up. In 2008, all five Spice Girls reunited for a greatest hits album and tour. Spice Girls are the most successful girl group of all time and have even recently announced a reunion that includes Mel B, Baby Spice, and Geri Halliwell. With two of the original ingredients missing, this reunion feels a little flat. The Diva Series honors all five ladies' best work including Geri Halliwell and, Melanie C's solo singles; arguably the most successful members as solo artists. Let's give it up for the ladies as Party Favorz lovingly inducts them into the Diva Hall of Fame. Album : Spice Girls | The Diva Series Genre : House Year : 2016 Total Time : 1:47:04 1.

The 2K16 Halloween Edition is fraught with big tribal beats that get to the heart of your upcoming escapism on the 31st. Ah yes; Halloween the time we all let our hair down and just be whatever our little-perverted minds can conjure up. Folks, it's just fantasy so have some fun with it. I had so many great songs, I went ahead and split this puppy up into two sets. The first starts off strong but definitely early evening when the boys are just filtering into the club and getting their groove on. You'll notice it really starts moving towards peak hour by the end, setting up the peak-hour set to follow tomorrow. I've been cleaning out a lot of clutter on the back-end of the site, so you may notice some images missing from posts. It's just that I had 20,000+ images in a whole variety of useless sizes generated from years of varying themes. This has been a time-consuming process but well worth it as the site already feels much lighter and moves much more smoothly. I've also gathered up your requests for navigation and improvements and have implemented every request to make access easier on your mobile phone or tablet. Now, it's all going to be about speed. So if you notice a little lagging over the weekend, just realize it's me working in the background to get this site the best it can be. I've also made changes to the subscription plans but never fear; as long as you maintain the one you have; you're grandfathered in. However, if you drop it and come back later, it will no longer be available to you.

One thing I do want you folks to pay attention to is Manuel Riva & Eneli - Mhm Mhm (Silver Bluff Remix). This is my go to song of the moment. I'm torn between two versions for the upcoming EDM set of the Halloween Edition and not doubt a more stripped down laid-back version will make it onto my next Mixtape in November. That's how freaking good this song is and is worth your time to hunt down the original and give these guys some big-ass support by streaming or purchasing their song. I want to see this shit ride up the iTunes and Billboard charts, even if it's a sleeper. To be honest, because of the more late night aspect of this set, it really doesn't fit in but I'm too drained to remove it and I really do like it that much. Everything else, speaks for itself and is what you come to expect from my circuit sets. Now that I've calmed down a bit...I'll be pulling a Michael Jackson (not that I already haven't been) working day and night (reference from his debut album if you don't get it) to get the EDM set out to you folks in-time for Halloween. I still haven't even gone through and sorted nor tagged all the songs to be used. So, I've got my work cut out for me. I'll be back before Friday this next week, I promise. Until then ...ENJOY!

The 1990's were kind of a lost era, at least for me.  The whole alternative music scene exploded as did grunge.  House music had made significant inroads in the early part of the decade, but that was quickly supplanted by Trance and those spontaneous FUBARs called RAVEs.   Ultimately, the legal grind caught on and started busting up these parties, which is when it moved above ground and became a massive money-making cluster-fuck for the investors. Out of all this spurred the late 90's phenomenon called Euro-dance.  These were hyper-fast BPM's, with sweet vocals, catchy as hell lyrics and the occasional obligatory really bad rap in the middle. Over the course of the next two sets, I’ve collected some of the best of Euro-dance and sprinkled it with a couple of massive house hits (more so on v5) to loosen things up a bit. For what it’s worth, these dance hits are part of our musical history.   So don’t be ashamed if you still enjoy these sugar-coated synth concoctions.  load these on to your phone, jump in the car and play this shit loud enough for the world to hear!  Yeah, I like 90's Euro-dance …whatcha gonna do about it?

This was my first trip to the Big Apple, though he had been many times. It was the era of Mayor Dinkins and Times Square was a shell of its current glory or, pretty much a shit hole laced with drugs, prostitutes, and porn theaters. One of the most memorable moments when we landed was "Gypsy Woman' blaring out the speakers in our cab heading to Manhattan. I had never heard it as it didn't sound like typical Top 40 fare. Its catchy house beat, and organ grinder riff with the artist singing "la da dee, la dee da" made it one of those songs that just stuck in my head as Eddie and I romped around the city waiting for our friend Margie to get off work. The artist was newcomer Crystal Waters. The following evening, Eddie and I were on our own, and in a sign of poor judgment (or naiveté about New York at night during this period), we hopped on a train at midnight and headed toward the Village to go to a club called Monster that had been recommended to us earlier in the day. Eddie had to pee, so we got off in Times Square only to find the restrooms closed at that time of night. So he had to do a quicky behind some pillars. The subway station was dark, dank, and very eery. A stranger was walking towards us while I hurried him along to finish his business. The next train shows up and we were out of there! Once we got to the Monster we walked in at street level and were introduced to a massive piano bar with folks singing along to old Olivia Newton-John songs. We went through the doors in the back and down a narrow stairwell that opens up into a basement club full of gay men dancing to the latest house music. Once 'Gypsy Woman' started playing from the speakers, I grabbed Eddie's hand and we ran onto the dance floor and didn't leave most of the night (except to grab the occasional drink). Margie later chastised us for wandering off and even worse stopping in Times Square after midnight without accompaniment. Okay, yelled. Gypsy Woman is packed with so many memories from our trip it that is one of the most memorable highlights of my life. Gypsy Woman was originally written for Ultra Nate (another Diva Hall of Fame inductee held in very high esteem around here). Crystal's original demo never made it into her hands and in true DIVA form, she kept it for herself. To be fair, her demo was so good that it won her a recording contract with Mercury Records. The song itself reached #8 on the Top 40 and #1 on the club charts. Crystal went on to land another Top 40 hit with '100% Pure Love' which peaked at #11 and stayed on the Hot 100 charts for a record-breaking 45 weeks.

On a mission to bring you the finest Dance, Circuit and Funky House that you never knew you wanted until you heard it. We've got a lot in store between now and the end of the year, so pay very close attention to this space. Kicking off our return from the abyss is Open All Night, which is a culmination of the finest soulful, funky and disco house beats circulating in clubland at the moment. The set starts off with a clip from the Netflix series 'Narcos'. It quickly launches into a Jimmy 'Bo' Horne Spanking groove of 'Bring The Funk' by Fabio Montana & Freiboitar that will have you shaking your ass right out of the gate. Georgie Porgie delivers the follow-up with a sweet if not uncharacteristically groovy sax house number with the sorely M.I.A. Suzanne Palmer delivering a sweltering scat throughout on 'Blow Your Sax'. The set transitions into some soulful disco house before launching back into its disco roots with the Sylvester inspired 'Make and Feel'. From there it alternates between disco, house, and funk with James Brown closing things out in Babert's 'Sex Machine'. All the elements are in place for your late night grooving pleasure. Tomorrow, I'll be diving into the deep end of the pool to cap off your weekend. Until then, ENJOY!

This set kicks off with the deceptively delicious 'Things We Might Have Said' by Cari Golden feat. Reinier Zonneveld. The track is a slow-burner with it's light pulsating synth that builds with the anticipation of release only to resume a steady low-key beat. Climax never arrives, rendering the listener with a serious case of blue-balls. We quickly move into the 90's prog-classic 'Plastic Dreams' by Jaydee that was the forerunner for the alt-progressive house movement. Coupled with Groove Armada's 'Superstylin', which echos another 90's era classic 'Born Slippy' by Underworld, the two songs compliment each other perfectly but don't lay out the direction of the overall set. To keep you rooted in the here and now, the set transitions into several house tunes (on dark tip) that add illumination and prevent listeners from sliding into the abyss. By the end, 'Into the Deep' begins to transition back to where it began before closing the set out on a very uplifting positive note with 'White Keys' by Redondo & Deepme making the overall journey worth the trip. I have a very special Tribute set dropping later this week and am trying to see if I have enough time to squeak out a BackSpin request from long ago. No promises on that one. Expect the long-delayed EDM now DANCE set, which will be this year's 'Jingle Electric' followed by the annual 'Holiday Edition' the week after. I am a man of many talents; so walking and chewing gum at the same time is second nature to me. It's not uncommon for me to be working on multiple sets simultaneously. I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend. Until the next time...ENJOY! Album : Into the Deep [vol. 3] Genre : Progressive, House Year : 2016 Total Time : 01:21:38 Cari Golden feat.

'Good Times' had been put on hold due to the remaining songs not being cohesive enough to stitch together. With some recent releases I picked up at JunoDownload, I was able to put the last nail in the genre-defying category that is DISCO. By no means is this even close to complete but the eight sets that make up this series are a damn good start to sink your teeth into and make for one helluva throwback party. I pulled in the remaining Chic classics, ensuring that Nile Rodgers and company were well represented throughout. This last set also leans heavily on its sister decade the 80's. The catchy and sophisticated 'Saturday Love' by Cherrelle, Dr. Packer's updated Gwen Guthrie classic 'Ain't Nothing Going On but the Rent' and the down and dirty funk of Lakeside's epic 'Fantastic Voyage' stitch the seams of this bulging set of disco gems from the 70's. In an effort to control bots and certain elements of society from draining my server and bandwidth, I've implemented a registration and login requirement for Party Favorz. I'm good at digging into the numbers and have zoned in on certain individuals and countries that are like vampires. If this doesn't slow them down, I'll roll out full blocks by next month. I've also updated the site icon and logo that leaves behind the grunge rendering that was so three years ago, in favor of a cleaner and modernized look. I know it's hard to get too excited about, but I spent several days designing and putting this together. Let me know what you think. Finally, I've set up ALL of the categories (DANCE, Circuit, Funky House, etc.) as their own separate entity in iTunes. For instance, if you only come here for Classic House and Divas you can subscribe to just those and they'll download into their own individual folder. If you love everything but want to keep it all separate so you can easily visit it based on your mood; subscribing to each category individually will create an individual folder for each. Then again, some folks like the element of surprise, in which case subscribing to the main feed is fine. You can find and subscribe to all the categories in iTunes at Podcasts By Party Favorz. How cool is that? [brushes off dust from shoulder, hmmph.] As we edge into the Thanksgiving holiday, I want everyone to be thankful for at least one thing and putting Party Favorz at the top of that list would be an excellent suggestion [grin]. I'll be back soon with a Black Friday 2 for 1 special. Until then ...ENJOY! Album : Trash Disco | Good Times Artists : Various Genre : Disco Length : 1:31:26 Marvin Gaye - Got To Give It Up (Dr.

But the industry legend made a grand comeback in 2014, methodically re-establishing his prominence with an array of original remixes, nostalgic reimaginings, and contemporary mashups. His renewed career kicked off with original mixes like "Party 'Round the World" featuring Jason Dottley and Debbie Holiday. He also revisited classic hits, offering his take on Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart," and even revitalized Thunderpuss-era favorites like Tamia's "Stranger in My House." But Barry Harris didn't stop at revisiting the past; he also proved his relevance with bootleg mashups of current chart-toppers, blending Justin Bieber's "Sorry" with Madonna's track of the same name, and fusing Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" with Whitney Houston's "My Love Is Your Love." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSle92KKMyQ Soon enough, major labels took notice. They not only gave their blessing to his bootleg remixes but also started commissioning him for official mixes for contemporary artists like Sia, Calvin Harris, and Ellie Goulding. His remix of Adele's epic hit "Hello" further cemented his status as a go-to remixer for a new wave of club aficionados, setting a standard for how remixing should be done today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PDrzaXWvRk Here at Party Favorz, we've consistently spotlighted DJ Barry Harris's work, recognizing him as one of our preferred DJs of the current moment—a moment that has impressively extended, thanks to his prolific output. What sets him apart from other high-volume remixers like Almighty, 7th Heaven, and Tiësto, is his authenticity: Barry Harris is his own "ghost remixer," personally crafting every project that bears his name. Barry Harris's gift for reinvigorating his past triumphs while deftly adapting to contemporary musical landscapes is nothing short of awe-inspiring. His steady stream of new work signals not just a revival, but a career that promises to influence dance music for years to come. In celebration of his enduring impact and continual evolution, Party Favorz is proud to honor DJ Barry Harris with this deserving tribute set. We look forward to grooving to his beats in 2017 and beyond. Until the next time...ENJOY!

As we dive into Volume 2 of our tribute to this music maestro, we explore a series of sensational remixes that showcase his enduring creativity and skill. Starting off with Calvin Harris and Rihanna's "This Is What You Came For," we're instantly reminded of Barry Harris's ability to transform a mainstream hit into a pulsating dance-floor magnet. He injects the track with vibrant rhythms and grooves that elevate it from a radio-friendly tune to a club anthem. The same mastery is apparent in Justin Timberlake's "Can't Stop The Feeling." Barry Harris amplifies the song's upbeat tempo, adding an electrifying depth that makes you want to dance with unabashed joy. Next, we have another Calvin Harris collaboration, this time featuring Ellie Goulding, titled "Outside." What's notable about this particular remix is how he retains the emotive essence of the original while infusing it with a higher BPM and mesmerizing loops. It's a seamless blend of Harris meeting Harris, if you will. Now, let's shift the spotlight to a legend of pop music — Madonna. Barry Harris has applied his golden touch to her songs "Ghosttown (Barry Harris Club Remix)" and "Deeper & Deeper 2K14 (Barry Harris 2k14 Remix)." His version of "Ghosttown" is a hauntingly beautiful rendition that captivates from the first note. For "Deeper & Deeper," he introduces contemporary beats without sacrificing the original's iconic vibe, demonstrating how he brings classic tracks into the modern age. Andra Day's inspirational hit "Rise Up" is another stunning example of his ability to adapt and contribute to diverse musical genres. The mix adds a rhythmic pulse to the powerful lyrics, encouraging you to both reflect and dance. And who could overlook Beyoncé's "Freedom (Barry Harris Dirty Bootleg Mix)?" Barry Harris takes the song's strong thematic elements and amplifies them with percussive layers and energetic beats, making it an empowering dance floor declaration. What sets Barry Harris apart is his inimitable style; he doesn't just remix a song, he revives it. He takes each track and embeds his own unique musical DNA into it, which is why Party Favorz is honored to spotlight his work yet again. In summary, DJ Barry Harris is not just a remixer; he's a musical storyteller, constantly weaving past and present into an intoxicating blend that stands the test of time. His consistent output suggests a longevity that is still unfolding, leaving us eager for the next chapter.

HO! HO! I wasn't sure how to pull this off but somehow I managed. I had several dance tunes leftover from X-mas Dance 2010 and 2K14 that I wasn't sure how to incorporate into a cohesive set. With a few new entries showing up and help from our good friend Marshall B., I was able to string together an all new set that includes some of our favorite tunes from season's past. X-mas Dance 2K16 is one BIG fat continuous holiday dance mix that hits all the right notes and includes remixes from several decades starting from the 70's [gulp]. Many of the perennial favorites are here. With Party Favorz coming up on our 10 year anniversary in 2017, this will undoubtedly be our final mix in the X-mas Dance category but likely a favorite of yours for years to come. I want to give a HUGE shoutout to our followers who have contributed to the ongoing operations of Party Favorz. These awesome folks are: Anthony S. $100; Glenn A. $20; Keith M. $100; Casper Y. $200; Doug B. $50; Ignacio G $10; David J. $25; Martti T. $50; djsr46 $100 These donations have been a major source of relief but more (of course) is always welcome and in fact needed.

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. Until then...ENJOY!

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!

After combing through about 200+ of the latest tribal offerings from some of the hottest DJs on the globe, I managed to narrow-down this year's offerings to the biggest and the best. You're going to notice what appears to be my new BF pop-up throughout these two sets, but he's really an old flame that appears to have really come into his own recently. I'm talking about the UK's Dan Thomas. The man is on fire and his mixes burn brightly like a star leading you to the promised land. Houston's men about town Mark D. and JD Arnold (aka. Dirty Disco) are literally blowing the roof off with their mixes. They make their holiday appearance on pt. 2 of this series. They just seem to have that midas touch when it comes to their productions. More on them tomorrow. Between these guys, Barry Harris and the good folks at Swishcraft (Matt Consola), King of Spins (Eddie Gordon) and all the fantastic talent they've managed to rope in, it looks like 2017 could be the year of a major circuit renaissance. For now, check out our biggest circuit set(s) of the year. From hot Santa's, uplifting anthems, dirty nasty beats to sugar plums and fairy tales [clear throat]... it's ALL here! I'll be back tomorrow with part 2. Until then...ENJOY!

We're back with the 2nd installment of the 2016 Holiday Edition more tribalicious treats to kick those holiday blues to the curb. Britney is back with her latest "Slumber Party" (think pillow fights and hair braiding but on an adult level) with Brazil's Felipe Angel doing the remix honors. He drops in again with his take on Sia's "The Greatest". Ricky Rebel teases with Boys & Sometimes Girls, while DJ VMC (another Brazilian DJ on the rise) re-energizes Shannon's early 80's dancefloor classic "Let the Music Play". Houston's Dirty Disco score two really huge winners with their mega-remix of the Jessica Folker classic "To Be Able to Love" by George Figares & DJ Blacklow featuring Brenda Reed which would make Jonathan Peters proud and really gets sleazy on Tyler Glenn's confessional single "Shameless". These two songs represent two factions of the gay community and couldn't possibly have anymore contrast in style and substance than say Kim Kardashian and Lena Dunham. Dirty Disco taps into the core of these floor-scorchers and delivers their productions like two heaping slabs of hedonistic lust on a gold platter. Barry Harris takes Dua Lipa's massive "Blow Your Mind" and pairs it with Twenty One Pilots "Heathens" creating a fun bouncy mashup bound to make your head spin. Perhaps the biggest surprise resurgence of the year goes to Air Supply. The early 80's guilty pleasure duo who supplied the Top 40 with one adult contemporary sappy love song after another jumps back into the spotlight. With re-recorded vocals, "All Out of Love" has new life breathed into it for the dancefloor and is currently (once again) riding high on the charts. Joe Gauthreaux & Leanh turn the drama-laden milker into a giant circuit tear-jerker. We finally close this set out with the re-affirming former number one, "Say Yes" by the amazingly talented Jason Walker. True to style, Moto Blanco captures the essences of the original allowing Jason's glorious vocals to soar above the production. Party Favorz is in the final stretch of 2016 as we work hard to deliver the Year's Best in Dance. We still got a lot heading your way so make sure you stay tuned and as always ...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. Also, a note to our Firefox users experiencing issues with our donation plugin; we're working on a fix, but for now, Chrome, Explorer, or Safari may provide a smoother experience.

So, with a heavy heart but determined focus, we set out to remaster and reimagine a dance tribute mix that would do justice to his extensive repertoire and undeniable influence on music and pop culture. Starting from scratch, we meticulously remastered each song, whether it was slated for inclusion or not, dedicating two full days to this labor of love. The end result? A tribute that can only be described as 'Flawless.' Back in 2010, the original tribute had an extra dose of compression, primarily due to the track 'As,' George Michael's duet with Mary J. Blige. Thanks to Jonathan Peters' mastering techniques, the song could practically blow a hole in the ceiling. It set the tone for the whole mix back then, especially when earbuds were not as advanced as they are today. But times have changed, and so have audio capabilities. That gave us the freedom to achieve a balanced and more nuanced sound. Let's talk about some gems in the tribute. Take "I Want Your Sex 2010 (Freemasons Club Mix)," for instance. The Freemasons bring a modern electro flair to this '80s classic, delivering a robust bassline that's impossible to ignore. And then there's the "Fast Love (2002 Illicit Remix)." With this version, the Illicit team reinvents George Michael's hit by infusing fresh beats and rhythms, making it perfect for today's dance floors. Don't overlook the "Outside (Hex Hector 12'' Vox Up Mix)," a song with a history. After his public outing following an arrest, George Michael embraced his identity and turned the incident into this empowering track. Hex Hector's remix elevates it to new heights, making it a dance floor anthem for the ages. Wham! classics like "I'm Your Man (Division 4 Club Mix)" and "Everything She Wants (Todd Terry Mix)" also find their rightful place in the mix. They're not just nostalgic trips; these remixes celebrate George Michael's beginnings while anchoring them firmly in contemporary dance music. In closing, we hope this tribute captures not just the breadth of George Michael's musical prowess, but also the depth of his influence and the complexity of his legacy. RIP George. You will be sorely missed. [1963 - 2016]. Until the next time...ENJOY! Album  George Michael Tribute pt. 2   Genre: House Year: 2016  Total Time: 1:57:53.00 1.

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!

It's like I've been fast-forwarded into another place and time. Take a look at the charts at Beatport and Traxsource. The top 10 in each of these are seriously dark and not the typical fare you'd normally expect. Sure, Beatport is famous for seriously fucked-up tracks in their top tiers that make you wonder if someone isn't manipulating the songs to get them ranked higher but this darkness has been going on for a couple of months now. I generally find that current trends in underground house music are a reflection of the times. Let's just say folks are getting more cynical. I alluded to this in my 2017 kickoff post The Best Dance Music Podcast PERIOD! | 10-Year Anniversary. More people are using TOR to surf the net and more and more of us have turned to What's App and Signal for our personal communications. These are scary times and the music is a reflection of those sentiments. Now, I'm not here to rouse everyone but when I found out that free sites like Family Tree Now give out a lot of personal information like your home address, previous address, phone numbers, current and past relationships, family members, and on down the line to anyone and everyone who looks you up; this shit is getting creepy. Fortunately, you can opt-out and I would HIGHLY recommend it. Far be it for me to spoil your fun. So, I spent the better part of a day combing through promos, Beatport, Traxsource, and Junodownload to complete this and next week's Funky House set to pull together some of the freshest beats that don't make you want to slit your wrists. Most of this stuff leans towards House Music but there are some Techno and Tech House tunes to round it out. Forget about Deep House cause that genre has gone off the rails. Nevertheless, I worked this shit OUT! The weather has been pretty awesome for the past several days so it would be a shame if I don't take advantage of it. I'll be back next week with the next installment of FunkyDiscoHouseShit for everyone. From what I can tell, that is gonna put a smile on your face. 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!

He gets free tires for life, so he had his car towed to the Atlanta dealership 20 miles away. I got up early this morning to drive him to the dealership so he could pick it up and get to work. During that ride, I finally had the opportunity to confirm what I already knew about the first Circuit set of the year. That is; it kicks some serious ASS! The sun was out and at a cool 40 degrees with the windows down, the heat on high, and the stereo blaring with a Starbucks coffee in one hand and the other on the steering wheel, I could've driven all morning long. The Winter Edition 2k17 is a serious workout that has more energy than 10 cans of Red Bull. Our favorite San Francisco label Swishcraft is leading the pack with four entries followed by our 'IT' boys of the moment Barry Harris and Dan Thomas. The full remixes are out on Donna Summer & Barbra Streisand's eponymous late-70s disco duet 'Enough Is Enough'. While the overall package is a little less creative than I would have liked the two standouts are Offer Nissim's take (featured in last month's Holiday Edition 2k16 pt. 2) and now our favorite BOYS from Houston, Mark D. & JD Arnold a.k.a. Dirty Disco. Speaking of which, they teamed up with one of our favorite (albeit disgraced) DIVAS Kim English for a new uplifting, energetic version of her former number one 'Treat Me Right' complete with all new vocals. Much like Donna Summer, I have it in my heart for forgiveness; especially when someone's work speaks to me and has provided so much meaning throughout my life. I would be remiss if I didn't mention another one of our favorite DIVAS, Miss LeAnn Rimes. The woman is back and packing a punch with 'Long Live Love'. I've included the knuckle-dragging Ivan Gomez mix here but don't pass up on the Dave Aude version which is as good. I could go on and on about the songs in this set but that could take a couple of pages. Every 1's a winner and a guaranteed treat for your ears and ass. Since I'm treating every one to two different sets this week (don't forget I just dropped the latest Dance set 'Dance Sessions Winter 2017' yesterday, I likely won't be releasing anything next week. You've got over 4 hours of solid tunes to get your party started. I also want to take this opportunity to give a HUGE shout out to these fantastic folks for their donations to my ongoing efforts: David B. $50; Ignacio G. $10; Billy G. $10 & Gary B. $10. All money goes right back into this site. My total costs for January were close to $250 so this was a massive help. Next up, I'll be working on some new BackSpin's that will take us into the 80's and some brand-spanking new DIVA se...

In typical fashion, I try to do something that's not so obvious, which better reflects who I was and what I was into by the end of the decade which was the 80s. I was a disco kid heading into high school and dabbled in Punk and New Wave but then quickly adjusted my tastes to fit in with the other kids. AC/DC (who I still love), Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Scorpions, and down the line fueled me. By the end of the decade, I was the preppy kid hanging with the cool kids dressed in black with earrings and eyeliner (much to the dismay of my parents) listening to the coolest music by New Order, Erasure, Depeche Mode, etc., and smoking a lot of pot while occasionally dropping acid. It's not a path I would recommend to anyone today but if I'm being real... It was the decade of Vans (which I had), OP (Ocean Pacific for the uninitiated), Levis 501 button-fly jeans, Izod, and shitty (hideous) clothing from Oak Tree and the Limited; Just look at any Rick Astley video or even Depeche Mode and you'll understand. For the most part, I was a geek with good taste in music (or at least I like to think so). Truth is, I'm a music addict. I enjoy almost all forms of it from the crude and crass (Dead Kennedys, Plasmatics) to the most commercial (Tiffany, Debbie Gibson). I can't explain my tastes but they run the whole spectrum. These next three sets reflect a certain period of my life that I fondly remember. Many of today's artists are diving back into the pool for inspiration, so don't be surprised if something sounds all too familiar. Frankly, after working my magic, these songs have never sounded better. ENJOY! Album : Hit That Perfect Beat! | BackSpin 80'sArtists : VariousGenre : ElectronicLength : 1:27:42 1.

The primary focus over these three volumes includes industrial music and it's more commercial off-spring. If anyone watches AMC's 'Catch and Halt' Fire' you get a really good feel for the time, the music and the burgeoning scene in computers in the early 80's. My best friend Dan had purchased a used Mackintosh from the local pawn shop along with a dot matrix printer. You know the kind, the paper had holes down the side so it could move along as it was being printed. The only thing he could really do on his computer was type his school papers and print them. Of course, he could also play ping pong or space invaders, which was pretty cool. Dan took his passion for computers and landed a gig with the burgeoning Dell computers there in Austin. Everybody knows who Dell is, so I'd say Dan is sitting pretty at the movement. Our other friend SJ or Sequoya disappeared off the face of the earth when his father called him back home for good. He had a drinking problem that he just couldn't keep under control, which was a shame because he was a super nice guy. I think he's married and a lawyer now or something. Then there's Dale. An unfortunate accident stemming from a nasty divorce that had left him permanently scarred and financially ruined took him years to get out from under it. Last I heard, he found his calling and was living in a commune smoking a bunch of pot. Me, I was just s shithead going to clubs on 6th street in Austin and sneaking out at night to hook up with some strangers in an alley. It wasn't until ten years later that I purchased my first computer at the end of the semester in 1998 and spent the winter break taking it apart and putting it back together again to better understand how it worked.That was the point I officially became a geek. The music at the time stands for itself and I'll go into more of its darker underpinnings in the next post. Until then...ENJOY!

I've gone back and provided more coherence to my ramblings so as to follow-up with this final set. These days, I've got a lot of ideas running through my tiny brain and the more I read in the Washington Post and the New York Times about our government, the more angry I get. I try to stay away from the Huffington Post because it's becoming more and more like the progressive left version Breibart (an alt-right nationalist rag). Mind you, I'm not talking about go out and blow-up a bunch of people anarchistic anger but definitely there is a frustration as to how I can channel what I'm seeing into what it is I already do and how that ties in with the electronic music that I promote on these very pages. This leads me to my final musings of the electronic dance music of the 80's. One of the genres I intertwined with this series was called 'industrial', which was an offshoot of punk. It was poetry laced with anger set to a repetitive electronic beat. While the lyrics to songs like 'Headhunter' by Front 242 and 'Join in the Chant' by Nitzer Ebb may be simplistic, their relevance today cannot be understated. Mixed in with the sugar-coated more commercial elements of the movement, the meaning gets lost. Taken by themselves, the anger and frustration of the times was as illuminating then as they are pertinent today. To be frank, I don't what these groups politics are and the left definitely do not have the market cornered on rebellion. Right now you're probably scratching your head thinking to yourself 'what the fuck does this have to do with anything; I just like these songs and remember them well???' For those that have read my posts over the years, understand that I've been a predictor of dance music trends since I started Party Favorz in 2007. The easiest way to do that is look at what's going on in the underground. Beatport has been a good indicator of that since I started this site. What I'm seeing and hearing is a ton of music that's moving away from the EPIC to a darker and more sinister pinning of electronic dance. It's not a mistake that Prok & Fitch with Green Velevet's 'Sheeple' was number for all of January and is still in their top ten. Don't get me wrong. I will continue to deliver the light and frothy commercial dance music we've all come to know and love from my podcasts. That will never change but... ...I do fully expect continued darkness in the music but with sharper and more pointed political messages in the very near future. I'm just waiting for the DJ's and producers to properly channel their anger into something that grabs a wider audience rather than the curre...

As fate would have it, I returned to C&C Music/Video—a place that had worked for during my high school years. Erasure's "Oh L'amour" was already setting dance floors on fire, but honestly, I hadn't deeply considered the duo behind the beats. That changed, and how, when their extended play album "The Two Ring Circus" was released. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFduy8qQIOg Before we dive into the Erasure saga, let's step back a bit. Vince Clarke, one half of Erasure, was already a synth-pop legend due to his earlier stints with Depeche Mode and Yaz (known as Yazoo in Europe). It was the blending of Clarke's genius with Andy Bell's vocal prowess that gave Erasure its distinct sound—a combination that felt like a revelation to my young, queer self. Their lyrics, sharp and universally relatable, had a unique resonance for the LGBTQ+ community. Now, let's talk songs, shall we? "Victim of Love" is a tune that forever evokes bittersweet nostalgia. It carries me back to memories of Michael, a man 20 years my senior who became a mentor and friend during those formative years. He tried to enrich my life with opera and introduced me to the camp classic "Mommie Dearest." We crossed the line from friendship to romance and his memory lives on each time I play "Victim of Love." For some inexplicable reason, it's our song. Fast forward to Erasure's album "Wild!" and the gem "Star," a song inseparably tied to the love of my life Pete. A charismatic guy who I thought was my romantic endgame, Pete turned into a life lesson on the power of unchecked emotions. Our fallout was nasty, something I've never been proud of. Years later, in a coincidental encounter at a local gay club, we finally managed to lay old ghosts to rest. "Star" has become a poignant reminder of what was, what could have been, and the wisdom that came from it. The lines "Sent you money sent you flowers, could worship you for hours, in whose hands are we anyway?" and "Did you ever have a lover, leave you for another, to take your love and kisses for granted? Never to discover, war is not the answer, leave you only disenchanted" from that song really sank my heart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CU4xdsMbQ28 Creating this Erasure tribute mix was an emotional rollercoaster, to say the least. Each track, carefully selected, represents their early brilliance encapsulated in "Pop! The First 20 Hits," with a few other gems sprinkled in. Vince Clarke's eloquent lyrics and Andy Bell's unparalleled voice make Erasure an indelible part of not just my story, but countless others.

Welcome to Volume 2 of our Erasure DIVA Dance Legacy Tribute, a musical journey where synthpop meets soaring vocals in a mesmerizing combination. This volume focuses on the group's '90s era, a pivotal time that saw them navigating new technological advancements while delivering infectious melodies that were impossible to ignore. Let's kick things off with the invigorating remake of the Blondie classic "Rapture." This remix amplifies the original Erasure essence, breathing new life into a classic. Matt Darey ingeniously twists the knobs, adding percussive elements and building up the atmospheric layers to create a soundscape that grabs you from the very first beat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTsClwsNaAY Now, let's talk about freedom—the Erasure style, of course. "Freedom" is a euphoric rollercoaster that invites you to embrace liberation on your own terms. Mark Picchiotti strums the guitar strings just enough to add a dash of rock flair to Erasure's synth-soaked terrain, making for a sublime auditory experience. While we're on the subject of transcendent experiences, "In My Arms" takes emotional resonance to new heights. With its haunting lyrics and Dekkard's skillful vocal treatment, this remix underscores the poignant elements that Erasure is known for. It's a love anthem that will have you floating on air, reminiscing about those unforgettable moments wrapped in the arms of someone special. But let's not overlook the gripping remake of the Peter Gabriel classic "Solsbury Hill." In this rendition, Manhattan Clique serves a magnetic remix, complete with pulsating beats and synthetic waves that elevate Erasure's original masterpiece. It's a track that evokes the spirit of '90s dance floors, while also feeling at home in any contemporary playlist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoiP84_I1x8 What makes Erasure particularly compelling is their knack for balance. They've managed to walk the line between keeping true to their roots and embracing the continual evolution of electronic music. Andy Bell's mesmerizing vocals mesh perfectly with Vince Clarke's expert instrumentation, a blend that has kept us dancing for decades. Whether you're a lifelong Erasure fan or a newcomer intrigued by their timeless beats, this DIVA Dance Legacy Tribute is an immersive experience. It's a tribute not just to the duo's musical genius but also to the DJs and artists who have reshaped and remixed their works for a new generation of dance aficionados. From Matt Darey to Mark Picchiotti,

I was browsing around the Billboard club charts a month or so ago and stumbled across a section I had NEVER seen before called GREATEST OF ALL TIME TOP DANCE CLUB ARTISTS. I'll be damned if every DIVA in the Diva Series isn't listed there. I mean, I hit them ALL + all the fan-boy favorites (US Only) who only had a couple of hits (Jennifer Holliday, Jewel, and Stevie Nicks come to mind). However, one lady was sitting in at #12 who was always on my list but I just hadn't gotten around to it. She is the one and only, incomparable Miss Inaya Day.  Holy bat crap! How did I not get to this sooner? Heck, she even bests Miss Barbara Tucker by 51 charts points and y'all know I love me some BT. Since I've been driving around all over god's green acres, I've had plenty of time to play this set over and over and OVER! Heck, if it were a cassette, I'd have to go out and purchase a new one by now. This set will BLOW your mind because it's that good. Inaya Day has also worked with some of the biggest names in the industry and isn't just circuit; she's House Music, she's Gospel, she's R&B and she is Soul. However, this set is geared towards the circuit boys, and for good reason. It's all about our love and appreciation for you, your beauty, and your talent. Our boy Peter Rauhofer is also represented here not once but twice. Throw in her sparring partner Miss China Ro, Mike Cruz, and the good ole boys from Swishcraft and you got yourself a recipe for one hell of a party. If we can get the boys at Swishcraft to promote this set; her bookings will go through the roof. She can call it I Take My Problems to the Dancefloor Tour (bill it as a greatest hits tour) and hopefully work out something amicable with Nervous Records. The t-shirts alone would be HOT property. So without further ado, Party Favorz is proud to finally pay respect to the indisputable queen of everything by inducting Miss Day into the Diva Hall of Fame. Ladies and Gentlemen, please give a standing ovation for the one and only, Miss Inaya Day.    Album : Inaya Day - The Diva Series     Genre : Circuit, House Music   Year : 2017   Total Time : 1:57:47.00 Inaya Day & China Ro feat.

In the last two days, I've managed to knock out two amazing sets in one take. The only changes I made were to this one where I dropped the intro track and had to re-create an intro for the next song. Other than that, I stand by my work. I did forget to include a few new tracks from Swishcraft and a new one from Rosabel that featured Terri B. but those will be pushed off to Gay Days 2017 coming in mid-May. There is a ton of fantastic music sandwiched in here for this weekend's White Party festivities and as usual, much of it is brand-spanking new. I've got a funky house set going up tomorrow which is some of the best work I've done in a while. Then again, I'm only as good as the music being released. I guess they were saving all the good stuff for WMC. More on that tomorrow. In the meantime, if you're hitting the road for Florida, I've got your soundtrack to get you all psyched up for the fun ahead. I'll be back tomorrow with another new set. Who knows, if I can keep this up, I'll have a brand new EDM/DANCE set for you folks next week as well. Until then...ENJOY!

As promised, I'm delivering quite possibly one of my favorite funkydiscohouseshit sets in over a year. Not since last year's 'We Love to Boogie' and 'Boogie Nights' has the music been so diverse, funky, and frankly fabulous! 'Living in the City' delivers fresh new beats from Full Intention, Fatboy Slim, Jamiroquai, and Blondie! It also re-delivers fresh new takes on the Black Box (with Miss Martha Wash) classic 'Strike It Up', Claptone's housed-up version of the 80's classic Din Da Da, which recently appeared in its full glory on 'Hit That Perfect Beat' and was prominently sampled on the Barry Harris remix of Rihanna's recent number one "Love on the Brain' and a re-work of the Chic disco classic 'Dance Dance Dance' by Simioli vs. Jonk. To round out all of this freshness, we've got a ton of new funky house beats that are certain to please even the most discerning palettes among you. Couple this with yesterday's 'White Party Edition 2017' (a.k.a. Spring Edition 2017) you've got one hell of a Winter Music Conference which is winding down and White Party, which is winding up. Florida is the state to be in this weekend. Next week, I plan on dropping the WMC After Party for all of my EDM/DANCE fans before launching into a much delayed fresh off the grill DIVA  series of which I have a multitude scheduled for delivery. As you can see, I've got a full plate as I continue to deliver these tantalizing full-course meals. That's all I got for today. If you're in Florida, HAVE FUN. If not, keep warm with these sizzling sets. Until the next time...ENJOY!
