Fall Throwback Dance Party: Volume 1
Wednesday Nov 06, 2024
Wednesday Nov 06, 2024
Right now, I'm at a complete loss for words about what happened in my country last night. 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 600% 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...

Fall Edition 2024: The Ultimate Circuit Anthems For Fall
Saturday Oct 26, 2024
Saturday Oct 26, 2024
It's that time of year when Party Favorz brings out a hot, sweaty cowboy to grace our annual Fall Edition, featuring the ultimate circuit anthems for the gay boys. 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, and our future are on the line. Protecting them is worth every effort.

Party Favorz is back with Volume 3 of our BackSpin series, bringing you Electro House classics along with a mix of Millennial dance club hits from 2005-2006.
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.
We couldn’t overlook Cascada’s “Everytime We Touch.” Though technically a Hard Dance track, it was a global phenomenon. Cascada (comprised of Natalie Horler, DJ Manian, and DJ Yanou) broke through with this song, which sat slightly outside the prevailing dance trends of the time but wasn’t entirely unprecedented. Earlier in the millennium, DJ Yanou scored a massive hit with a remake of Bryan Adams' “Heaven,” and DHT had similar success with their cover of Roxette’s “Listen To Your Heart.” Despite the 142 BPM of “Everytime We Touch,” we managed to tie it all together with Madonna’s “Sorry” from her Confessions album, closing out the set on a high note.
Our goal is to wrap up the remaining years of the early millennium (2007-2009) by November, so we can give Millennials the dance floor representation they deserve. I realize not everything from this period was Electro House, and if you want to explore the broader landscape of early millennium dance music, check out our Millennial Dance Classics section — it has something for everyone. For those only seeking the big club hits, we also have a collection of the Top Dance Songs of the Year from 2000 to 2009. We’ve compiled everything into one place, but you’ll still need to dig a bit to find your favorite jams.
That’s all for this weekend. Next week, we’ll be back with the long-overdue Fall Edition for the circuit boys. Until next time… ENJOY!

At long last, Party Favorz is back with our latest BackSpin, featuring Electro House classics and other dance hits from the early millennium. 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 scene, Disco House remained fashionable, and many of those monster hits are included here. In this series, I’ve included some of the biggest chart-toppers but mainly focused on memorable songs that were likely bigger in the EU than in the States, often discovered through popular Ministry of Sound and Hed Kandi releases.
Another trend worth mentioning is the electric guitar or rock remixes you’ll hear throughout. While the fad only lasted a couple of years, it was incredibly effective at rousing festival crowds and packing dance floors. Don’t be surprised if this style resurfaces because, as we know, what's old often becomes new again.
I’ve got a lot on my plate over the next several weeks, but I’ll do my best to push out what I can. Volume 3 of this series is already compiled and should drop next week. After that, it’s time for the annual Fall Edition for my circuit boys. I’m also aiming to refresh a couple of Diva Hall of Fame entries before year’s end and expand two recent episodes (hint: Kylie’s "Tension II" is coming soon, and I’ve got more Taylor remixes from the Tortured Poets Department). Plus, I want to squeeze in a new Throwback and our annual holiday mixes. It’s an ambitious list, but I’ll do my best to get it all done before 2024 wraps up.
Until next time… ENJOY!

Don't Stop the Music: The BIGGEST Dance Club Songs of Fall
Tuesday Oct 01, 2024
Tuesday Oct 01, 2024
After a hurricane and several medical delays, Party Favorz is back with an early-week drop of our latest installment in the Club Fusion series: "Don't Stop the Music." 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. I'm not here to undermine this talented artist, even if she seems out of touch with her fans' concerns about her neutral stance on presidential candidates. If the Obama administration set the gold standard for LGBTQ rights, Biden and Harris have carried that torch even further. I won’t delve into their accomplishments; skeptics can research for themselves.
I come from a conservative Catholic upbringing, but my views shifted dramatically after moving to Austin post-high school, where I worked as a copy clerk for the American Statesman. My liberal roommates at the University of Texas helped shape my perspective, especially after losing friends, including my brother, to AIDS in the 80s. Life events and the stubbornness of government leaders can change your outlook instantly.
For now, Miss Roan must navigate her way back to understanding why her fans are upset. This isn’t a typical election. While I agree that genocide has occurred among Palestinians living under an apartheid system, I refuse to sacrifice my freedoms as a disabled LGBTQ American for the plight of those halfway across the world, especially if Trump returns to the White House. At the very least, we should elect Harris and pressure her to halt American support for Israel until they remove Netanyahu from power and begin working towards a two-state solution that guarantees freedoms and rights for all citizens in the region.
I strongly recommend that Miss Roan hire a seasoned PR professional to help her reconnect with her fans. I understand she’s young, and I’m willing to extend some grace, just as I have for Janet Jackson (for different reasons), but she must either become more informed and heed publicist advice or risk losing everything she has worked for. The choice is hers.
I’ll be taking next week off again, as many of my doctor’s appointments and tests have been crammed into a narrow window. During my time off, I’ll be working on a much-overdue BackSpin series featuring the latter half of the early millennium. The first installment was a massive success, and I believe millennials are craving this music—Party Favorz is here to deliver the goods.
Until next time… ENJOY!

LET'S GO!: Funky House Monster Tracks
Saturday Sep 21, 2024
Saturday Sep 21, 2024
Party Favorz is back with some hard-hitting House Music — the kind that makes you want to get up and dance!
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!

The Ultimate Kylie 2024 | Volume II
Friday Sep 13, 2024
Friday Sep 13, 2024
Party Favorz is back with Volume II of the Ultimate Kylie Minogue for 2024 and this one packs a massive punch!
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. Until the next time...ENJOY!

The Ultimate Kylie 2024 | Volume I
Sunday Sep 08, 2024
Sunday Sep 08, 2024
Party Favorz is cranking up the gears to get us back on track, and what better way to kick things off than with Volume I of the Ultimate Kylie Minogue Diva Series!
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, so I can carry it through our Top Dance Songs of the Year releases without having to subscribe again. If you haven’t already donated, please consider doing so to help keep this podcast alive.
Until the next time... ENJOY!

Summer Edition 2024 — Cool Down with the Summer's HOTTEST Circuit and Anthems
Saturday Aug 17, 2024
Saturday Aug 17, 2024
Party Favorz is back with our annual Summer Edition featuring the hottest circuit anthems to get your gay on.
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 matter the amount. You'll receive an email before a 30-minute preview drops on the website to download the full set(s).
For everyone else, the price of admission will be $20 donation before release starting from today August 17th and a $25 donation after the release. I'm not trying to be a dick, but I need to cover my expenses.
The set isn't ready yet and won't be for a couple of weeks. I'm dealing with medical issues after an 8-month wait to see a neurologist on Monday. Rest assured, I'll get the work done. Don't expect emails to be sent out until the set is ready. I'll give everyone a heads up in advance.
In the meantime, I want to thank Adam G, Paul B, and Glenn A. for their one-time donations. As long as you donated up until this point, you all qualify no matter the amount.
Until the nex time...ENJOY!

Summer Heat 2024: Heat Up Your Summer with the Hottest Dance Club Songs | Final
Saturday Aug 10, 2024
Saturday Aug 10, 2024
After a two-week hiatus, Party Favorz is back with our annual Summer Heat edition for 2024! 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.

WILD! | Music For Late-Nite People
Friday Jul 19, 2024
Friday Jul 19, 2024
WILD! is our latest Peak Hour set, featuring the best in alternative dance music for those who love to sweat it out on the club floor until dawn.
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!
