BackSpin: Electro House Classics & Other Millennial Dance Club Hits! [2009 — 2010] Volume 7

Just when you thought we’d emptied the vault of bangers from this era, BackSpin Volume 7 comes stomping in with another round of club anthems that defined the dancefloors of 2009 and 2010. This was not a chill period in dance music—it was a full-throttle takeover. These weren’t just tracks you heard in the club; they were the soundtracks to pre-games, afterparties, breakups, hookups, and everything in between.
By this point, Electro House had become the default language of clubland. It didn’t matter if the artist was an underground favorite or a Disney Channel graduate—everyone wanted in on the energy. And with remixers like Dave Audé, Mike Rizzo, Jody den Broeder, and Jump Smokers consistently delivering top-shelf work, the line between pop and club music completely vanished.
Remix Culture Was King
Let’s be real—some of these tracks hit harder in their remixed versions than the originals ever could. Usher’s “DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love” was already slick, but Jump Smokers cranked it up with a glammed-up club version that dominated summer playlists. Christina Aguilera’s “Not Myself Tonight” might’ve been polarizing on radio, but Jody den Broeder turned it into a pulsing floor-filler with an edge. Black Eyed Peas continued their chart domination with “Imma Be” and “Meet Me Halfway,” both of which got remixed within an inch of their lives—one dirty, one dreamy, and both undeniable.
And let’s talk about Lady Gaga, who basically lived on the dance charts during this period. You’ll find three of her biggest tracks here—“Bad Romance,” “Paparazzi,” and “Love Game”—all reworked by Dave Audé into high-energy triumphs that left no corner of the dancefloor untouched.
The Rise of Selena Gomez
One of the most fascinating shifts during this period was the arrival of Selena Gomez—best known at the time as a squeaky-clean Disney princess. But her early releases with The Scene were smart, polished pop that lent themselves surprisingly well to club remixes. “Round & Round” and “A Year Without Rain” became club favorites thanks to 7th Heaven and Dave Audé, respectively, who transformed them into soaring dance tracks without stripping away her youthful charm. Selena’s transition from Disney darling to legitimate pop artist began here, and the clubs were ready to embrace her.
Ke$ha’s Party Nation
Also bursting into the scene like a glitter bomb was Ke$ha, whose breakout hit “TiK ToK” became a global party anthem. Fred Falke’s remix gave it just enough disco-drenched sophistication while keeping its messy, rebellious spirit intact. Ke$ha’s arrival signaled a new wave of club pop—raucous, unfiltered, and entirely self-aware. She didn’t just want to party—she was the party.
European Imports & Global Crossovers
This volume also shines a light on the growing influence of European club culture on the American mainstream. Edward Maya’s “Stereo Love” with its infectious accordion hook brought Romanian house to global attention, while Alex Gaudino’s “I’m In Love (I Wanna Do It)” showcased the sleek, sexy appeal of Italian house with a Wideboys polish. And let’s not forget Dennis Ferrer’s “Hey Hey,” which proved that a deep house groove could still cut through in a sea of EDM bangers—especially when remixed by Vandalism.
David Guetta: Architect of the Era
Guetta’s fingerprints are all over this era, and nowhere is that more obvious than his work on “Sexy Bitch” with Akon and his remix of Black Eyed Peas’ “Boom Boom Pow.” His production wasn’t just influential—it defined the electro-pop aesthetic of the time. His music lived at the intersection of hip-hop swagger, pop accessibility, and EDM power, helping turn club music into a true pop force.
The Bold, the Brash, and the Unfiltered
This volume doesn’t shy away from explicit energy, either. Lily Allen and CeeLo Green both show up here in their no-holds-barred form, each delivering sarcastic kiss-offs in “Fuck You,” made even bolder in club-ready remixes by Rich Morel and the Stonemasons. Tracks like “Sexy People” by Lolene and Paradiso Girls’ “Who’s My Bitch” pushed the envelope in both sound and attitude—flirty, fierce, and far from family-friendly.
From Ibiza to Main Street
Whether it’s Swedish House Mafia’s jet-setting anthem “Miami 2 Ibiza” or Shakira’s wild “Loca” reimagined by the Freemasons, this era was all about movement—geographically, musically, and emotionally. These weren’t just club hits; they were cultural markers that signaled how far EDM had come from its underground roots. Everyone was invited to the party, and no genre was off-limits.
BackSpin Volume 7 isn’t just a continuation—it’s a celebration of how deeply dance music had woven itself into every aspect of pop culture by the end of the decade. These tracks weren’t just playing at the club; they were playing everywhere. From bedroom iPods to high school dances to festival stages, this was the sound of a generation finding its rhythm in uncertain times.
Volume 8 will be dropping next, rounding out this pivotal era with more certified club gold. Until then, crank it loud, lose yourself in the beat, and remember just how good the chaos sounded.
Until the next time…ENJOY!

BackSpin: Electro House Classics & Other Millennial Dance Club Hits! [2009 — 2010] Volume 6

It’s time once again to rewind the clock and fire up your favorite dance memories with Volume 6 of our BackSpin series, spotlighting the electric surge of Electro House and other club-defining hits from the early millennium. This installment zeroes in on 2009–2010—two powerhouse years that marked a massive turning point for electronic dance music and the global club scene.
By this point, the shimmering dominance of the big room anthems helmed by remix legends like Thunderpuss, Hex Hector, and Victor Calderone had begun to fade. Their reign throughout the late '90s and early 2000s had set the standard for peak-hour energy, but by 2009, a new breed of producers began rewriting the rulebook.
The Electro House Revolution
This was the moment when Electro House officially took center stage. David Guetta broke into the U.S. mainstream and never looked back, while the Swedish House Mafia began building their empire brick by brick. Artists like Bimbo Jones, Jody den Broeder, Wideboys, Jump Smokers, Mike Rizzo, and Wawa steadily made names for themselves by turning pop into gold—remixing everything from the obvious club fodder to unexpected chart-toppers. Their influence was unmistakable. If their names were attached to a remix, you knew you were in for something massive.
What made this shift so monumental is that the remixers became just as famous—if not more so—than the original artists. Guetta and Swedish House Mafia didn’t just fill clubs; they packed stadiums and headlined the very festivals that were just beginning to explode in North America. Electronic music wasn’t just for the underground anymore—it was pop.
Commercial Kings of the Club Charts
Yet, while Guetta and SHM were scaling the highest heights, others carved out their own niche—less flashy but no less effective. Remix powerhouses like Cahill, Moto Blanco, and Dave Audé were hitting hard and consistently. Their mixes dominated Billboard's Dance Club charts and brought just the right balance of commercial accessibility and dancefloor credibility.
Moto Blanco leaned heavily into Disco House—reinventing the genre with crisp, soulful vocals over chugging basslines and glittery synths. Meanwhile, Cahill and Dave Audé turned pop tracks into pure club fuel, often elevating songs far beyond their original versions. These guys weren’t interested in the spotlight—they were all about the sound. And club DJs and promoters knew: if you needed a floor-filler, you grabbed a remix from one of them.
Pop Royalty Ascends
This stretch also marked a major shift in pop culture, with a new generation of women dominating both the charts and the dancefloor. Rihanna was rising like a phoenix, bouncing back stronger than ever after a public and painful incident with Chris Brown. Her music during this period—fueled by edgy production and fearless visuals—reflected both vulnerability and power. Tracks like "Rude Boy" and "Only Girl (In the World)" came armed with heavyweight remixes that ruled the clubs for months.
Lady Gaga, meanwhile, was in full throttle. With her outrageous fashion, theatrical videos, and back-to-back club smashes like "Bad Romance" and "Poker Face," she wasn’t just entering the scene—she was detonating it. At the time, it felt like she might actually steal Madonna’s crown, and to many, she did—at least for a while.
And let’s not forget Katy Perry. Her rise was meteoric, with hits like “California Gurls,” “Firework,” and later “Teenage Dream” becoming club essentials thanks to thunderous remixes by the very names featured in this series. Her playful, candy-coated persona masked some serious hit-making power, and remixers were quick to latch on, creating versions of her songs that lit up dancefloors worldwide. Katy cemented herself not just as a pop icon but as a club favorite in her own right.
Ke$ha also burst onto the scene like a glitter-drenched hurricane. With “TiK ToK,” she tapped into a post-recession party spirit—equal parts carefree and rebellious—that resonated with a generation eager to escape. Remixers pounced on her tracks, transforming them into late-night anthems that soundtracked everything from warehouse raves to sweaty club floors.
Meanwhile, the Black Eyed Peas went from critically acclaimed hip-hop outsiders to mainstream juggernauts, fully embracing the EDM explosion. Tracks like “Boom Boom Pow” and “I Gotta Feeling” didn’t just dominate the radio—they took over nightlife culture. Much of their electronic pivot was shaped by David Guetta, whose collaboration on “I Gotta Feeling” launched a lasting creative partnership and helped blur the lines between pop, hip-hop, and house. Guetta’s touch was unmistakable—slick, high-energy, and made for massive crowds. That relationship not only reshaped the Peas' sound but also helped normalize EDM influences in Top 40 pop, paving the way for the genre’s commercial golden age.
By 2010, the remix wasn't just an accessory—it was the main event. Pop stars became club icons, and producers like Guetta were just as responsible for shaping the mainstream sound as the artists themselves.
More Than Nostalgia—It’s a Movement
This era wasn’t just exciting—it was relentless. So much quality dance music poured out of these two years that condensing it into a single volume would’ve been criminal. That’s why Party Favorz is rolling out this period across three volumes instead of two. There’s simply too much gold here to gloss over.
Volume 6 kicks things off strong, but Volumes 7 and 8 will follow shortly—bringing more of the same high-energy, club-thumping brilliance that defined a generation. Think of it as a time capsule from the days when the economy may have been in the toilet, but there was always a club, a party, or a DJ spinning something that made you forget your problems—at least for the night.
So go ahead—dust off those old iPods, or better yet, load up your streaming apps. Whether you were dancing your way through college, bartending on the weekends, or just living for the next Saturday night, this was the soundtrack of your life.
Get ready to relive it all.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Adele 2025: The Diva Series

Party Favorz is updating the original induction of Adele from 2021 into the Diva Hall of Fame. Since the original induction, Adele has released her fourth album 30, which spent 30 consecutive weeks at #1 on the Billboard album charts and produced her fourth #1 song on Billboard's Hot 100 chart.In support of the album, Adele announced a Las Vegas residency titled Weekends With Adele that was to run through January to March of 2022. That residency was postponed due to COVID and started later in November of that year. The residency was expanded multiple times for a whoppping 68 dates in total. Since the end of her residency at Casear's Palace in June of 2024, and in July of that same year, Adele revealed that she would be taking an "indefinite" break from music with "no new plans for a album" in the near future. Party Favorz had planned an update to her original induction in 2021, but it was delayed multiple times due to competing projects. It's now finally read to be shared with the rest of our followers. Adele 2025 features a slew of new dance remixes her biggest hits including songs from her last release 30 as well as several other charted songs that did not appear on her albums. It is with great admiration and adorance that Party Favorz reinducts Adele to our most prestigious of honors, The Diva Hall of Fame.

Spring Into Action With the Fiercest Circuit Anthems of the Season!

As mentioned in yesterday’s post, Party Favorz is rolling out a double-header of new releases to get back on track with our schedule. This brings us up to speed just in time for the Spring Edition 2025. I’ll be honest—new releases have been on the lighter side lately. So, to balance the energy, I pulled in a few standout tracks from past editions to round out this set and give it some extra weight.
Still Plenty of New Music to Keep the Floor Moving
That doesn’t mean there’s a shortage of fire. This edition features fresh tracks and fierce remixes from some of the biggest names in pop and dance. Expect new heat from The Weeknd, Kylie Minogue, Jennifer Lopez, Tate McRae, Lola Young, and the ever-iconic Lady Gaga.
One of the standout moments comes courtesy of a killer remix of Beautiful People, the latest collaboration between David Guetta and Sia. These two have a proven track record of club-ready bangers, and this one doesn’t disappoint.
Taking a Beat: Upcoming Diva Hall of Fame Entry
Next week, I’m planning to take a short break while working on something a bit special—a Diva Hall of Fame reboot for Adele. With the sheer volume of newer remixes that span her entire catalog, it felt like the right time to refresh her entry. Since she’s wrapped up her Las Vegas residency and likely won’t be dropping new material for a while, this gives us a solid stopping point to reflect on her evolution as both a vocalist and a dancefloor muse.
I also had Celine Dion in my sights for a reboot, but that’s temporarily on hold. I’m hoping to get Dirty Disco to remix one of her biggest hits—a track that, shockingly, never received an official remix. If he takes it on, that’ll give me the green light to move forward.
Recovery Update: The Not-So-Glamorous Reality
I want to take a moment to thank everyone for your kind messages and support during my recovery. That said, it’s not going as smoothly—or as quickly—as I had hoped. The painkillers I’ve been prescribed are fine for regular pain, but when it comes to the debridement process (scraping off dead skin, aka those blackened areas from the wound), they’re totally useless.
They’ve managed to remove a good chunk already, but it’s slow as hell. Frankly, this should’ve been done when I was in the hospital for six days under anesthesia. Instead, I’m stuck dealing with this now, awake, and under a double dose of pain meds that barely touch the surface. It still hurts like a motherfucker.
What really worries me is that this is the longest I’ve ever been on opioids. Dependency is starting to feel way too real. I’m currently trying to find a doctor—though I don’t even know what kind—who can remove the remaining dead tissue under anesthesia. The areas that have been treated are healing well, so I know this is what needs to happen for proper skin regrowth.
Navigating the System Alone
The problem? None of the wound care specialists or even the pain doctor (who is an anesthesiologist) will recommend anyone. I’m basically on my own trying to find a solution. It really feels like they’re more invested in squeezing my insurance dry than actually helping me heal.
This whole process could drag out for months. But I can’t stay on opioids that long. That opens up a whole other world of problems I don’t want to deal with. On top of that, I’m still trying to get the astronomical hospital bill covered through charity care. Everything feels like it's up in the air.
Thankfully, Rick and I are debt-free. So, worst-case scenario, I might try to settle the bill and put it on a 0% interest credit card. But let’s be real—that’s not the option I want to take, especially with the size of this debt looming overhead.
Keeping Things Moving, Even While Slowing Down
I’ll continue to keep everyone updated as this unfolds. I wish the process would move faster, but I’m not the type to sit on my hands. I’ll do everything I can to get this resolved intelligently and efficiently.
In the meantime, I’m leaving you with plenty of fresh beats to keep you entertained well beyond this short break. The Spring Edition 2025 may have taken some digging, but the final result is packed with energy, heart, and dancefloor magic. Whether you're tuning in for the new remixes, legacy bangers, or diva-fueled drama—Party Favorz has you covered.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Vibe To the Latest Funky House For Spring

Party Favorz is back with the latest Funky House tunes for spring!
We’re kicking off the weekend with a double header, so I’ll keep this short and sweet. I’ve been working nonstop to get these sets out the door because I’ll be taking next week off to deal with some medical issues that have been dragging on for far too long.
To be blunt—things haven’t been going well on that front. The doctors seem intent on turning me into a painkiller junkie by stretching out this excruciating debridement process. What I really need is a surgeon to remove all the dead skin in one go, under anesthesia. This current approach just isn’t sustainable. Honestly, it should have been handled during my six-day hospital stay. But in typical U.S. healthcare fashion, the system is more focused on milking as much money from my insurance as possible—even if it comes at the expense of my well-being.
I’ll be back tomorrow with the Spring Edition for the circuit boys.Until the next time...ENJOY!

The Tracks Turning Heads
Standout tracks include the infectious “Tell Me” by Sonny Fodera and Clementine Douglas, and the high-octane floor-filler “The Way I Are” from Don Diablo. Max Styler delivers fire with “I Know You Want To,” while Tate McRae shifts gears into overdrive with “Sports Car.”
Pop royalty Lady Gaga works her magic on “Abracadabra,” and Lola Young keeps things wild and “Messy.” Party anthem “The Less I Know the Better” by Mau P is pure crowd control, and “Hustler” by Will Sparks, Joel Fletcher, and the always fierce Luciana brings the attitude. And let’s not forget the song climbing charts and playlists everywhere—“Don't Wake Me Up” by James Hype. It’s a beast.
Personal Favorites Worth Repeating
A few personal favorites that hit even harder:“I Look Good” by Jackie Hollander and Lizzy Land is pure self-love wrapped in a beat. David Guetta and Sia team up once again for the soaring “Beautiful People.”A throwback with fresh production, “Love the Way You Lie” from Eminem and Rihanna still cuts deep.The ever-iconic “Say My Name” by Destiny’s Child gets a modern dancefloor upgrade, and Daniel Bedingfield’s emotional ballad “If You’re Not the One” is reimagined for 2025 with a pulse-pounding edge.We round it out with a new standout, “Alive” by BK and Ella Young—a euphoric blend of emotion and energy that just feels right.
Spring Break 2025 Brings the Fire
The energy kicks off at full throttle and never lets up. Spring Break 2025 doesn’t just celebrate the season—it defines it. This mix delivers nonstop beats, soaring vocals, and crowd-commanding basslines that make it impossible not to move. Whether you're poolside, club-bound, or house-party ready, this set guarantees the vibes stay high.
We’ve been blown away by the steady stream of HOT House tracks dropping lately, and couldn’t resist riding that wave. So much so, we’re keeping the momentum alive with a brand new Funky House set landing next week that channels the sunny, sexy energy of Miami Music Week. Trust us—you won’t want to miss it.
Spring Break 2025 is officially on. Turn it up, lose yourself, and let the music carry you.

BackSpin: Electro House Classics & Other Millennial Dance Club Hits! [2007 — 2008] Volume 5

Party Favorz is back with Volume 5 of our BackSpin series, spotlighting standout cuts from the golden age of Dance Club Songs. This edition focuses squarely on the biggest dance and club hits from 2007 to 2008—an era that bridged the raw energy of Electro House with the tail end of the millennium’s peak clubbing scene.
If you were anywhere near a dancefloor during this time, chances are you’ll recognize most—if not all—of the tracks included here. Each one dominated the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart and captured the diverse pulse of the scene. From euphoric anthems to deep, soulful grooves, this was a period where musical experimentation met mainstream success.
A Deep Cut That Still Resonates
One of the undeniable standouts in this set is The Cure & The Cause by Fish Go Deep featuring Tracey K. While the original release had multiple remixes, it was DJ Meme’s version that truly left its mark. Known for channeling the Salsoul era with real string sections and deep, disco-rooted energy, Meme’s remix paid tribute to the late ‘70s underground—offering something completely unique in a sea of Electro House and Big Room soundscapes. Its lush arrangement made it a refreshing outlier, a reminder of the artistry that once dominated dance floors way back in the day.
Extended Mixes That Kept Us Moving
Another thing that sets this era apart? The length of these tracks. Seriously—they were long. We’re talking 8 to 10-minute versions that DJs could ride for ages, keeping the energy high and the transitions smooth. The early Electro House movement embraced this approach, making sure partygoers stayed glued to the dancefloor for extended stretches.
While we aimed to preserve the integrity of the originals, we also made a few light edits for the sake of flow. For example, The Cure & The Cause originally clocked in at a full 10 minutes. A more accessible 6+ minute edit was released later, and that’s the version featured in this volume.
How Streaming Changed the Club Mix
As streaming platforms took off in the late 2000s, track lengths shrank. The push for more plays led to songs being chopped down to under three minutes—great for radio-style streaming, but awful for club DJs. This unfortunate trend carried over to remix culture. While we’ve bounced back a bit, with the average remix now hovering around five minutes, it’s still not quite where it used to be.
The reality is, shorter edits limit a DJ’s flexibility. When you’re forced to use effects or create unnatural transitions just to make a mix work, it can pull the listener out of the experience. Ideally, we’d find a sweet spot around seven minutes—long enough to build momentum, but short enough to stay focused on the music. Whether we’ll ever return to that balance remains to be seen.
What's Coming Next
We hope you’ve been enjoying these nostalgic trips back to clubland. Next up, we’ll be jumping into the 2009–2010 era in Volume 6, which should be dropping sometime in May. But before that, it’s almost time for our annual Spring Break Edition—you know, that over-the-top celebration of the hottest new Dance Club Songs leading into summer. Expect that one to drop in the next couple of weeks.
Until the next time...ENJOY!
I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated toward my medical expenses. I didn’t post about my situation expecting anything—just wanted to share what I was going through. That said, your generosity means the world to me and will go a long way in easing the burden of ongoing medical debt. I’m truly grateful for each and every one of you.

BackSpin: Electro House Classics & Other Millennial Dance Club Hits! [2007 — 2008] Volume 4

Party Favorz is back with another round of our BackSpin series, this time moving into the transformative era of 2007 to 2008—an especially meaningful period as it marks the birth of this very podcast. These were the years that saw dance music shifting dramatically, with the big room circuit style starting to cool off just as Electro House began rising from the underground and taking over mainstream dance floors.
But the evolution wasn’t one-dimensional.
This era ushered in a diverse set of trends that helped shape the sound of modern dance. It was the rise of remix royalty like Freemasons, Moto Blanco, and Cahill. Each brought their own distinct flair to the genre. Freemasons blended traditional House with Electro influences, Moto Blanco leaned deep into shimmering Disco House, and Cahill straddled both worlds with a clean, pop-forward edge. Their remixes were everywhere—especially for big-name artists. Back then, the bigger the artist, the more labels were willing to shell out for high-profile remixers. That is, until budgets began shrinking and labels stopped cutting those massive checks.
Fast-forward 15 years, and platforms like SoundCloud changed the game again. Suddenly, bootleg remixes became marketing tools, not just club exclusives. DJs had to hustle to make a name for themselves—often remixing tracks for free in the hopes of being discovered or landing a record deal.
A Remix Renaissance
During this same stretch, a powerhouse of remixers emerged and defined the dancefloor. Bimbo Jones, Seamus Haji, Soul Seekerz, Wideboys, Dave Audé, Jody den Broeder, and a revitalized StoneBridge (whose roots go back to the ’90s) were dropping fire left and right.
Meanwhile, some of the biggest names from the big room era still held their ground. Chris Cox (post-Thunderpuss), Ralphi Rosario, Tony Moran, Johnny Vicious, and DJ Escape kept delivering heavy, floor-shaking anthems that balanced out the sleeker, more polished productions coming from the Electro and Disco House scenes. This blend of sounds made for one of the most diverse periods in dance music—something we haven’t quite seen repeated since.
A Pop Diva Takeover
The pop landscape at the time wasn’t sitting quietly either. Britney Spears was staging a massive comeback, Beyoncé and Rihanna were dominating charts globally, and Robyn was redefining what electro-pop could be. Their tracks became essential remix material and ruled dance floors from coast to coast. We've packed both volumes of this series with heavy doses of these queens because, frankly, they owned this era.
Now, if you’re looking for a broader reflection of each year's biggest dance anthems, don't miss our Top Dance Songs of the Year series. Those sets provide a deeper look into the biggest hits and underground standouts from each year.
A Personal Evolution
For me, this wasn’t just a turning point for music—it was a turning point for Party Favorz itself.
This was the moment we shifted from burning and distributing CDs in clubs and at festivals to launching the podcast. Suddenly, the reach was global, and the feedback was immediate. But beyond the growth in listenership, the music itself opened my ears—and my mind—to styles I hadn’t previously embraced. Until then, I had been locked into the big room circuit sound. But what was coming out during this time was just too good to ignore.
That realization led directly to the creation of the Funky House and Peak Hour series. There was simply too much top-tier music that didn’t fit the traditional mold, and it needed a platform. The podcast became the place to house it all. It allowed me to expand the universe of Party Favorz and bring listeners along for the ride.
This One's for the Party People!
If you lived through this period—or just want to experience the magic for the first time—these sets are dedicated to you. This was an electric, creative time when boundaries were pushed and styles blended in fresh, exciting ways.
Volume 5 drops tomorrow. You won’t want to miss it.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Funky House Sessions: Winter 2025

WARNING! This post contains graphic imagery that may not be suitable for all audiences.
Party Favorz is dropping the next installment of Funky House Sessions a day early to clear my schedule for the coming week. This set was completed in one take, and after listening to it sporadically over the past week, I can honestly say it’s flawless. Even the tricky transitions were figured out on the fly and seamlessly flowed from one track to the next.
This set leans heavily on the Disco House side, so put on your dancing shoes because it’s time to get down!
As I mentioned in my last post, I went to Urgent Care—only to be turned away because my situation required a doctor, and all they had was a single PA (Physician Assistant) on staff. So, I went to the ER the next day, fully expecting to wait a couple of hours.
I have two OxyContin pills prescribed so I can lay still without pain for the two-hour MRIs my doctor ordered. Why? Because I need an official diagnosis to correct the wrong diagnosis that every major hospital has run with since 1996. It took eight months just to get in for that initial visit, then another 30 days for the doctor to perform some tests. After that, I was supposed to have MRIs with and without contrast of my lumbar and brain so the neurologist can provide me with an official diagnosis.
Enter Humana, my insurer. They approved, rescinded, re-approved, and rescinded again—dragging this process out for months, ultimately forcing me to drop them for a new insurer in 2025. And now? I can’t even get in to see the neurologist until the end of May. ARE. YOU. FUCKING. KIDDING. ME?
Meanwhile, I now have an unrelated infection that was initially thought to be staph. It has left a hole larger than a quarter in my leg, surrounded by a growing infection that the wound specialist no longer believes is staph but a bacterial infection.

So, back to the ER I went, where I sat for five hours, watching patients who arrived after me get treated and discharged—until the entire waiting room had turned over three times. When I asked about the delay, I was told they had no doctors on staff—only Nurse Practitioners (NPs) and Physician Assistants (PAs). My condition required an actual doctor.
At that point, I ripped the port-a-cath out of my arm, threw it in the trash, and walked out. I did my best to keep my cool—I wasn’t about to be that guy (you know, Kevin), but this was absolutely ridiculous.
Mind you, four years ago, I sat in this same ER for 24 hours with a burst appendix while their sole doctor performed elective surgeries. In the meantime, they pumped me full of pain meds and ran unnecessary tests just to run up the insurance bill. Don’t even get me started.
How the fuck do you run an emergency room without a single doctor on staff?
I checked their website, and it claimed wait times were under two hours. Bullshit. Meanwhile, we have two major hospital chains in this area, so I looked up Piedmont’s ERs. They publicly list their current wait times, which averaged 20 minutes, with some locations reaching an hour—way more reasonable and what I had come to expect living in Atlanta.
So, Rick and I are heading down to one of their satellite campuses early tomorrow—which brings me back to why this Funky House Sessions set is dropping early.
I fully expect to be hospitalized tomorrow. For how long? No idea. So, I’m getting this set out now to avoid interrupting the release schedule. That said, I wouldn’t expect anything new next week. Once I’m back in the saddle, I’ll start working on some BackSpins covering the first ten years of the Millennium.
Until the next time…ENJOY!

Artic Energy: Circuit Anthems As Cold As Ice, HOT As Fire! — Winter Edition 2025

Party Favorz is back with our first circuit set of the year, and this one is FIRE! Initially, I planned to drop 30% of the tracks I had compiled for this set, but as I listened further, every track turned out to be a keeper. I’ll let the set speak for itself.
I’ve been in significant pain lately because of an issue with my leg. I’m heading to Urgent Care shortly for another opinion since it’s not healing. In fact, it has worsened. None of the treatments the wound specialist recommended have worked, and the skin is now peeling off in roughly a 5-inch diameter around the wound. It’s purple and very raw. I would post a picture, but it would be more graphic than anything we’ve ever shared on this website, so I’ll keep it to myself.
I’ve already compiled the track list for the next Funky House set, so expect something new next week no matter what. However, I might take the following week off. I’ll have to see how everything goes.
For now, check out this epic set that will electrify your senses. Until the next time...ENJOY!

Club Fusion Winter 2025: Winter's HOTTEST Dance Club Songs [Updated]

Party Favorz is officially BACK! In addition to all the insurance manipulation and MRI issues I was having, I developed a drug-resistant staph infection on my shin, which grew into a massive boil that has now left a hole the size of the Grand Canyon on my leg. This is some seriously messed-up shit that's forced me to see a wound specialist to get this thing to heal. This is a 5-alarm pain I'm dealing with so bare with me while I work through this. To add insult to injury, I've now had to reschedule my follow-up diagnosis until May 28th because my neurologist is in high demand. I just can't catch a break.
But enough about me. Club Fusion Winter 2025 showcases a new direction dance club music is moving in. Back in the mid-millennium, we called it Progressive House, but today, it’s labeled everything but—even though this dark, moody template with heavy synths is prevalent in just about every genre.
Arbat and Vintage Culture are primed to take over this sound because they’ve been working in this space for some time. That’s not to say there aren’t some shiny, happy spots in this set, but the overall mood is set from the start with Aaron Hibell & Alex Wann's "Set Me Free." There’s also an excellent Camelphat remix of this track out now, so be sure to watch out for that.
We have several throwbacks in this set that have been updated to fit into today’s scene. I’m not sure if my Millennial BackSpin series has anything to do with it, but there sure are a lot of great songs from the first three volumes that have been plucked for a total remake (with new vocals) or just flat-out reworked originals.
Ru Da Silva’s classic Touch Me gets another overhaul by Massano, Th;En, and Carlo Whale.
Morgan Seatree reworks the Florence + The Machine classic Say My Name after last year’s excellent Afro House version.
The Sound of Violence by Cassius is no stranger to reworks, and BLR and Matt Sassari update the original, making it even darker.
Freejack tackles The Killers’ Somebody Told Me.
Cody Schneida reworks the Kaskade & Deadmau5 classic Move For Me.
Rogerson updates Fergie’s hit Fergalicious.
Never content to hand over their work to someone else, Deep Dish update their #1 classic Say Hello with two different, darker remixes that fit perfectly into today’s dance floors.
Meanwhile, John Summit does not disappoint, diversifying his sound with his latest "Palm of My Hands" featuring Venbee, with Odd Mob handling remix duties, as well as "Focus" with Cloves. But as excited as we are for new music from John, the person to watch out for is Max Styler.
Max has already established himself in Techno, but with his latest three-song EP "Don’t Stop", all three tracks are featured here—because, yes, they’re that good. Keep an eye on this guy because, clearly, he came to play.
Another name to watch is Kastra. We picked up two of his bootleg remixes—Gracie Abrams’ That’s So True and the Lady Gaga smash Abracadabra. These flips transform the originals into the darker Progressive House sound that dominates this set while keeping the songs’ integrity and danceability intact. He may be unknown now, but I don’t expect that to last long. Be sure to follow him on his SoundCloud page—you won't be disappointed.
Don’t be fooled by what I just wrote—Club Fusion Winter 2025 is jam-packed with all the latest club dance tracks filling floors right now, and there’s a lot to love here. I’m sorry this took a week longer to get out to you, folks, but Lady Gaga was the hold-up—and as one of our Diva Hall of Fame goddesses, she’s well within her right.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

* SXY by Hugel was originally intended for a future Peak Hour set and was removed; Act of God by Layton Giordani was accidentally duplicated and one was removed. I also took the liberty of cleaning up many of the transitions as I've maintained a hectic schedule, which will continue through March, I rushed to get this set out. But, when you hurry things along, you tend to make mistakes. They've now been corrected.

Top Dance Club Songs of the Year 2024 Volume III | The Year’s Biggest Bangers!

Wrapping Up 2024: The Final Chapter
Party Favorz is finally back with our third and final installment of the Top Dance Club Songs of 2024. These year-end lists are always a challenge to create because, as you work your way through, everything either clicks perfectly or it doesn’t. In this case, most of it did—though not without some hiccups.
Making the Mix Work
To make this final set cohesive, I swapped out a couple of remixes for their original versions and dropped one song entirely. Why? Because I didn’t like it when it was released and still don’t. It just didn’t work in the mix. Don’t worry—you won’t miss it. Trust me on this.
Overall, I think I’ve put together an excellent representation of the best dance club songs of 2024. You’d be hard-pressed to find a list this comprehensive anywhere else.
Ranking Process? Not This Time
I know I promised to discuss my process for ranking these songs, but honestly, I don’t have it in me right now. I’ve been in extreme pain all week from an infection on my shin, and the antibiotics the doctor prescribed aren’t working. With the 5-day treatment almost over, I’ll likely need to head to urgent care tomorrow if there’s no improvement.
No Blow Your Own Horn This Year
On top of that, I’ve spent so much time and energy pulling together these year-end sets that there simply isn’t enough bandwidth left for our annual Blow Your Own Horn series. I know many of you look forward to that tradition—where we bid one final “fuck off” to the year while welcoming the New Year with a bang. Its high-energy nature makes it a fan favorite, but I just can’t make it happen this time.
The Future of Party Favorz
I’ve also been wrestling with mixed feelings about continuing Party Favorz into another year. Right now, I’m leaning toward keeping it alive—especially since we’re expecting new music from Lady Gaga, Cher, and Madonna. And if Rihanna drops something? That would be EPIC.
If I do move forward, big changes are inevitable. The last two years saw a significant drop in donations, which didn’t even scratch the surface of my monthly expenses. If the podcast continues, it will have to rely on a Patreon model. I haven’t ironed out the details yet, but I’ve got some ideas brewing.
A New Chapter for the Website
Another looming expense is a new website theme. The theme I’ve used for the past 15 years has been a workhorse, but it’s no longer supported by WordPress and throws up quirky issues every time WordPress updates. A new theme will run me about $300 and require a complete redesign. While I’ve taught myself a fair bit of coding over the years, I’m no expert. Thankfully, tools like ChatGPT make it easier to generate CSS based on my instructions, which is a lifesaver.
That said, design is my thing, and I want to make sure everything is tested across multiple devices before launching. So don’t expect the new site to roll out until early February.
Wishing You a Safe New Year
As we close out the year, I hope everyone has a safe and welcoming New Year. Thank you for your continued support.
