Party Favorz — EDM, Circuit, Funky House & Dance Classics

Party Favorz is finally back in the saddle with the much-hyped and long-overdue Ultimate Bootleg Collection Volume 4 from the QUEEN herself, Madonna. This latest round of Madonna bootleg remixes has taken considerably longer than expected, and it will likely be the final installment in the series.
The first three volumes dropped in 2022. For this follow-up, I focused on remixes posted within the past four years to avoid repeating those earlier selections. However, tracking down the actual age of a bootleg isn’t always straightforward. DJs sometimes repost older mixes, especially on YouTube, making them appear newer than they really are.
A repeat may have slipped through, but I spent plenty of time weeding them out. The goal was to give this volume its own identity while keeping the songs and remixes worth hearing.
Madonna Bootleg Remixes Favor the Classics
One thing became clear during the search: remixers keep returning to a core group of Madonna songs from the 1990s through the early 2000s. From “Vogue” to “Hung Up,” this stretch of her catalog attracts a steady stream of unofficial updates.
Her 1980s hits get attention, too, particularly “Holiday,” “La Isla Bonita,” and “Like a Prayer.” Meanwhile, songs released after the original Confessions on a Dance Floor album appear far less often.
As a result, Volume 4 leans heavily into that earlier period, with a few selections outside the usual window. That wasn’t necessarily the plan going in. It reflects where I found the strongest material.
Let’s face it: there are only so many ways to remix the same song before familiar ideas start coming around again. A different beat or bigger drop doesn’t always make a version stand out. Occasionally, though, someone throws a curveball.
NIIKO X SWAE Give “Vogue” a Different Spin
NIIKO X SWAE’s recent take on “Vogue” was one of those surprises. To my ears, its quirky approach almost sounds like something Basement Jaxx might cook up. It gives the song a different personality while retaining enough of the original to keep it recognizable.
That’s why I chose it over countless versions that stayed closer to familiar territory. When you’ve heard as many Madonna bootleg remixes as I have, something unexpected makes a difference.
I also owe everyone an apology for sailing past September without releasing this set. Finding the tracks took an extremely long time. Then came the listening, comparing, and deciding which versions deserved a place.
Once I finished that process, the actual mixing came together in less than an hour. There’s still a little rawness to this mix because I trusted my instincts instead of overthinking every transition. Overall, I’m pleased with the result.
Still, the growing repetition makes this feel like a natural stopping point for the Bootleg Collection. There may always be another standout remix, but putting together an entire fresh volume is getting harder.
A New Home and the Move to South Texas
In other news, Rick and I finally signed a lease for a brand-new townhome in South Texas which offers a lot more square footage along with a fenced in backyard for Jack our Corgi. It does this for $800 less then what we pay now because this area of the country is one of the most affordable in the country. We plan to make the trek in early November, which means there’s plenty of work between now and then.
I still need to book the movers and coordinate our arrival. We’re allowing about three days for the trip, with the goal of picking up the keys and having our belongings delivered around the same time. We also need to figure out how to transport all our fish. That alone should be an adventure.
I’m hoping to stop in Frisco, just outside Dallas, to visit family. I haven’t seen my mom and sister since 2005, and my mom isn’t getting any younger. With roughly ten hours between North Texas and our destination, I’m conscious that this could be my last chance to see her.
Despite everything on my plate, I plan to release new Club Fusion and Circuit & Anthems mixes before we leave. Realistically, that’s probably all I can manage. Once we settle in, I’ll share the release plans for the rest of the year.
Find Party Favorz on YouTube
The Party Favorz YouTube channel now has all the categories up, giving you another way to enjoy the mixes.
The channel doesn’t contain everything from the website. Instead, the two complement each other. Music restrictions also affect availability: a mix may play in some countries but remain blocked in the United States, while a single song can sometimes trigger a worldwide block.
When that happens, you can still find the original mix on the Party Favorz website for streaming and download, along with podcast platforms such as Apple Podcasts.
Sometimes I remove the track causing the block and upload a revised version. However, that takes time, so other mixes remain available through the website without a YouTube edition. Even with those limitations, I think the channel offers a solid balance across the Party Favorz categories. I hope y’all enjoy it.
After an all-night marathon getting everything ready, I’m about ready to crash. Now, if fall would finally show up here so we could get into hoodie season.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Madonna’s 90s house remixes filled dance floors, but by the end of the decade, her music was heading somewhere more expansive. Electronic textures, darker moods, and long, dramatic builds gave DJs new possibilities. The Ultimate Dance Collection Volume 3 follows that progressive side of Madonna, moving from the breakthrough of Ray of Light into the early millennium.
This mix isn’t arranged as a history lesson. It opens with “Hollywood” and “Love Profusion” from American Life, then moves back and forth across the era. The thread connecting these songs is the way remixers turn Madonna’s restless pop records into club journeys.
The Ray of Light Turning Point
When Ray of Light arrived in 1998, Madonna sounded transformed. Working with William Orbit, she brought atmospheric electronic production into songs that still carried strong melodies and an emotional core. “Frozen” was cool and restrained; the title track seemed to race forward. “Drowned World/Substitute for Love” offered a more reflective opening to the album.
The recognition followed. At the 1999 Grammy Awards, “Ray of Light” won Best Dance Recording and Best Short Form Music Video. Madonna also performed “Nothing Really Matters” at the ceremony, giving one of this volume’s most memorable tracks a moment on the Grammy stage.
Those songs take different shapes here. “Frozen” and “Ray of Light” arrive in extended club versions by Victor Calderone, while Club 69 pushes “Nothing Really Matters” toward a bigger dance floor payoff. The closing stretch belongs to “Sky Fits Heaven” and “Drowned World/Substitute for Love,” with remixes tied to Sasha and BT. They give the set room to rise, settle, and finally drift away.
From Music to the Club
Madonna kept experimenting as the millennium turned. “Beautiful Stranger,” recorded for Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, brought a playful psychedelic streak to the period. Madonna and Orbit won the 2000 Grammy for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media for it. In this mix, Victor Calderone takes the song somewhere larger and more driving.
The Music era added another set of contrasts. The title track was an instant invitation to dance, while “Don’t Tell Me” paired a stop-start rhythm with a country-tinged guitar sound. On Volume 3, HQ2 and Thunderpuss pull both songs toward peak-time club territory. “Runaway Lover” and “Impressive Instant” go further into electronic pop, leaving plenty of space for Calderone and Peter Rauhofer to build tension.
Then Above & Beyond takes “What It Feels Like for a Girl,” a more restrained song from Music, and turns it into an epic trance remix. The vocal floats above a long, patient build before the track opens up into something enormous. Madonna chose that edgy dance mix for the Guy Ritchie-directed video. In it, she picks up an elderly woman and drives her through Los Angeles on an increasingly destructive crime spree. The contrast is striking: a song about the expectations placed on women becomes a furious, cinematic act of rebellion.
Even “American Pie,” Madonna’s cover of the Don McLean song, gets a different life through Calderone’s vocal club mix. It’s part of the fun of this period: a song’s original style didn’t limit what a remixer could do with it.
A Darker Edge in the Early 2000s
The early millennium brought harder choices in both sound and subject matter. “Die Another Day” brings the drama of a Bond theme, while “Nothing Fails” and “Mother and Father” carry a more personal weight. Rather than smoothing those differences away, the remixes let them become part of the mix’s push and pull.
Then there’s “Me Against the Music,” Madonna’s collaboration with Britney Spears. Hearing the Gabriel & Dresden Club Mix among these tracks is a reminder of how easily Madonna could cross generations while staying connected to dance music. The song sits comfortably beside the deeper, more progressive selections without losing its pop charge.
Volume 3 gathers these moods into one continuous set. Calderone, Quayle, Sasha, BT, Above & Beyond, Tracy Young, Thunderpuss, Club 69, and Rauhofer each hear a different possibility in Madonna’s music. Some remixes hit immediately; others take their time getting there. Together, they show why this era remains so rewarding to revisit: Madonna gave the remixers songs with enough character to survive a complete change of setting.
Turn it up, give those longer builds time to work, and enjoy the progressive side of Madonna’s dance music legacy.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Madonna Month continues with The Ultimate Dance Collection Volume 2, a mix focused on the house music side of Madonna’s 90s output. This is the era when her songs took on a second life in clubs, often through extended mixes that gave DJs room to work and dancers room to lose themselves.
Shep Pettibone Sets the Pace
The set opens with “Vogue,” “Express Yourself,” and “Like a Prayer,” then returns to “Keep It Together” later in the mix. Shep Pettibone’s work runs through these early selections. His remixes drew out the rhythm and drama already present in Madonna’s songs, helping bridge her late 80s pop hits and the house sounds that would shape the next decade.
“Vogue” remains the obvious landmark. Yet hearing it alongside these other extended mixes shows how much was happening around it. Madonna wasn’t simply placing a dance beat behind a pop song. She was making records that belonged in the club.
Madonna’s 90s, Beyond the Headlines
The decade brought plenty of controversy. The Immaculate Collection introduced “Justify My Love,” while Erotica and the Sex book kept Madonna at the center of a much louder cultural conversation. “Human Nature” would later answer some of that criticism directly.
“I’m not your bitch, don’t hang your shit on me.”
But the music was changing, too. Madonna worked with sounds that ranged from house to trip hop, and “Justify My Love” offered an early taste of the atmospheric direction she would pursue further with William Orbit. Volume 2 brings those shifts back to the dance floor rather than treating the headlines as the whole story.
The later tracks also show what remixers could find in songs that weren’t obvious club records. Junior Vasquez takes “Secret,” “Bedtime Story,” and “I Want You” into different territory, while “Human Nature” and “Deeper and Deeper” keep the set grounded in the decade’s house sound. Madonna’s dance legacy would continue through collaborators such as Victor Calderone and Peter Rauhofer, but this volume stays with the 90s.
Why This Mix Matters to Me
I made small edits where a transition or a section needed tightening, but I wanted the remixes to have room to breathe. These are extended club mixes, and their build is part of the pleasure.
This period also means something personal to me. Madonna’s 90s music was there as I slowly stepped out of the closet. Putting Volume 2 together brought back that time in my life, along with the thrill of hearing these songs take over a dance floor. I spent more time on this set than almost anything else I’d made in the preceding 15 years. I hope you can hear that care in the final mix.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Labor Day has arrived, which means it’s time for one last blowout before we pack up Love Island, say goodbye to the beautiful women and men, and give summer 2026 one final sun-soaked kiss-off. Beach House 2026 Volume 3 is built for that final long weekend by the pool, on the patio, or wherever the drinks are cold and the speakers are loud.
One Last Blast of House Music for Summer 2026
For roughly the first 70% of the set, we lean into the heavier side of the House Music we prefer—bigger grooves, tougher beats, and plenty of energy to keep the party moving. As the sun starts going down, the mix gradually eases off the throttle, settling into a smoother, more soothing stretch of House that feels less like the party ending and more like summer taking its final bow.
Going RAW for the Final Beach House of 2026
This set is a little looser than our usual efforts—what I tend to call RAW. With time working against me, I dumped more than 100 songs into my software and started dropping tracks in on the fly, deleting anything that didn’t work as I went. There wasn’t a lot of time to overthink transitions or second-guess the running order. The goal was simply to keep moving, keep trimming, and get the strongest set possible out the door.
As it turns out, the music made that approach surprisingly easy. Most of these tracks already came with solid intros and outros, so they lent themselves naturally to a more open, live-feeling style of mixing. If this set sounds a little less polished and a little more spontaneous, that’s because it is. Frankly, I think this looser approach suits our Funky House series really well and may be something we use more often going forward. Even after dumping a ton of songs to keep things as tight as possible, Volume 3 still clocks in at more than two hours.
Suit Up for Summer’s Last Call
So put on your sexiest swimsuits, fire up the grill, DIVE IN THE POOL, and get ready to say your goodbyes while sweating it out to some of the fiercest Funky House Music the DJ gods are serving up right now. Volume 3 closes out Beach House for 2026 with a monster set built to keep the music going long after your stamina gives out.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Dolly Parton is probably one of the least likely artists you'd expect to have her music remixed for the dancefloor. But you know us gays and our divas. Where there's a will, there's a way—and we always find a way.
As such, this Diva Dance Tribute reaches into virtually every corner of dance music to reinterpret Dolly's remarkable catalog. We've got House Music, Eurodance, Country Dance, Circuit, Disco, Future House and even Dubstep. The sheer variety speaks volumes about the affinity so many different people in our community have for Ms. Parton. And rightfully so.
Finding Dolly on the Dancefloor
Party Favorz spent the better part of a week pouring through everything the internet had to offer while digging deep into our own extensive collection of Dolly Parton remixes. There were plenty of surprises along the way.
There were also more versions of "Jolene" and "Peace Train" than we knew what to do with. Narrowing those down to just a couple of versions worthy of representing this tribute was surprisingly difficult. That's largely because you can hear the love and devotion that went into many of these unofficial remixes.
These weren't people randomly grabbing a famous vocal and throwing a beat underneath it. They were fans paying tribute to a woman who never expected anything from us in return.
Ultimately, we think we've done about as well as anyone could in pulling together the different sides of Dolly for the dancefloor.
We even treated classics like "Baby I'm Burnin'" with tender care. The original already had disco running through its veins, but recordings from that era don't always have the weight and punch we've come to expect from modern dance music. We carefully remastered it to today's standards while preserving everything that made the original work in the first place. The goal wasn't to reinvent Dolly. It was to give the song the sound it always deserved.
What surprised me most was how easily this entire mix fell into place. Considering the number of genres represented here, it shouldn't work nearly as well as it does. Sure, there are a few necessary crossfades, but for the most part, these wildly different interpretations mix together beautifully.
Maybe that shouldn't be surprising. Dolly is the common thread holding everything together.
More Than a Country Music Legend
Dolly Parton wasn't just a country music legend and Grammy winner. She was a philanthropist who gave an extraordinary amount of herself and her fortune to causes she genuinely believed in. Few public figures have ever matched the breadth of her generosity—or even attempted to.
She grew up with virtually nothing and became one of America's most celebrated entertainers, yet she never seemed to forget where she came from. More importantly, she never forgot about people who weren't fortunate enough to follow the same path.
Dolly spent her life giving back to her community and to humanity at large. Whether through literacy programs, education, disaster relief, medical research or countless other causes, her generosity wasn't something she merely talked about. She put her own money, time and reputation behind the things she believed in.
There was something remarkable about the way Dolly embraced the "others" among us—the people society too often ignores, judges or casts aside—with seemingly endless compassion.
For the LGBTQ community, that mattered.
Dolly Parton Was Always in Our Corner
Dolly was one of the most steadfast celebrity supporters of gay people and, later, transgender people that our community could have asked for. She stood by us even when doing so wasn't necessarily the easiest position for someone working in country music and coming from her deeply religious Southern background.
Yet somehow, Dolly was the one person her critics had difficulty attacking.
That's because she never came across as calculating or performative. She wasn't trying to score political points or sell us something. Everything she did appeared to come from her heart, and we never had reason to question her loyalty because she was remarkably genuine and sincere about the causes and people she embraced.
She didn't lecture people about compassion. She practiced it.
That's an important distinction.
Dolly seemed to understand something that has become increasingly rare: you don't have to understand every aspect of someone else's life to recognize their humanity. You don't have to share their experiences to believe they deserve dignity, kindness and respect.
For generations of gay people who grew up being told there was something wrong with us, having someone like Dolly Parton say, in essence, I see you, I love you, and you're welcome here carried more weight than she probably ever realized.
Our Turn to Give Something Back
That's ultimately what this Diva Dance Tribute is about.
It's easy to call something a tribute, string together a collection of hits and move on to the next project. This one feels different. There's a genuine emotional connection behind many of these remixes, just as there's one behind this mix.
Dolly never asked the LGBTQ community for anything. She simply gave us her support.
So this is our small way of returning some of that love.
She was one of a kind, embodying an American spirit rooted in empathy. This gay man—one of millions who found comfort in knowing Dolly Parton was firmly in our corner—can never repay what she gave us.
But Party Favorz can do what we've always done when honoring the women who provided the soundtrack to our lives: turn up the volume, fill the dancefloor and celebrate the music.
For Dolly.
Until the next time...ENJOY!
Update: Expanded Mix

After playing around with some new toys I picked up earlier this summer, I decided to rearrange the decks of the Titanic. All of the original songs remain intact; I simply changed the running order and added a few instrumentals at the beginning and end of select tracks for smoother transitions. “Downtown” was removed but is still available on Ms. Parton’s original Diva Hall of Fame entry. The Love To Infinity remix of “9 To 5” was replaced with a higher-fidelity version, with about two minutes trimmed for better flow.
I also dropped in Yann Sun’s new remix of “Here You Come Again.” It almost hits the mark, though the instrumental really needed to change keys along with Dolly’s vocals once the arrangement picks up. Still, it works well as a bridge between songs. I’d also completely forgotten about a Digital Visions edit buried on an old backup drive that I had to dig out and reconnect to my computer. DJ Freddy had moved beyond disco into pop edits before his passing, so I’m grateful he’s still kickin’ it with the gods—and remains the gift that keeps on giving.

We’re in the final weeks of summer, but that doesn’t mean Party Favorz is taking a vacation. When you don’t see us posting for a week, it usually means we’re buried in the studio working on what comes next. This month, we’re dropping some serious bombs, starting with Summer Sweat 2026 Volume 2 and another round of the hottest dance club music burning up the season.
Picking up where we left off in July, the dancefloor has only gotten hotter. Summer Sweat 2026 Volume 2 starts in cool mode with some ultra-hot Hip-Hop & R&B House from it’s murph and Khalid, Drake, and Cloonee & Prospa. From there, the temperature steadily rises until all bets are off.
From Hip-Hop House to Peak Hour Heat
SIDEPIECE and HILLS keep things moving before we hit Gino Figliolini’s “Stomp,” a track that is completely flying under the radar when it shouldn’t be. It uses a familiar early-2000s riff that could be dropped into almost any decade and still pack a dancefloor.
There’s a long history of recycling these loops and turning them into something new. DJs would be wise not to sit this one out. “Stomp” is exactly the kind of record you want in your late-night arsenal when the floor is packed and everybody is ready to sweat.
It’s also time to name the dance song of the summer. There were several serious contenders, including ANOTR’s “Talk To Me” and Prospa & Cloonee’s “Free Your Mind,” but this year’s crown goes to “Movin To the Sun” by Hugel, Ultra Naté and Imael Angel.
This is the song that just keeps delivering. Paky Francavilla takes the original Afro House groove and flips it into an all-out peak-hour monster without losing the warmth that made the track work in the first place.
Retro Favorites Get a Modern House Makeover
Oliver Heldens, Kryder and The Young Punx take us back to the ’80s with their rework of “AEIOU,” reshaping the retro New Wave track into modern electronic House while keeping enough of its original personality intact.
Likewise, Franco Lippi revives the 1958 party classic “Tequila,” a song that seems destined to receive a fresh dancefloor makeover every few years. This latest version gives the familiar instrumental another shot of modern House production without taking away the fun.
Another standout is “Barthelona” from longtime Party Favorz favorite duo Sofi Tukker. Many of their recent releases haven’t received traditional extended mixes, but that doesn’t stop us from taking what they give us and making it work inside our sets.
As usual, Sofi Tukker move into their sun-soaked, quirky territory where everything feels loose, colorful and slightly unhinged. Their extended time in Brazil and Spain continues to influence their sound as they pull elements from earlier releases into something that feels fresh. We’re here for it.
“Barthelona” also provides a natural gateway into Porter Robinson’s return to the top of the dance charts with “WannaCry.” With its signature Porter Robinson sound, “WannaCry” lands as one of those records that simply feels right for summer.
Summer Sweat Heads Into the Late Night
From there, Summer Sweat 2026 Volume 2 moves firmly into late-night territory.
The Floorplan remix of Madonna’s “Love Sensation” pulls early-2000s-style riffs into the mix while transforming the original into a massive peak-hour track. It’s big, muscular and designed for a packed room.
Adam Tenet follows with his latest, “Beat Goes On,” which surprisingly samples The Whispers’ early-’80s disco classic of the same name. This isn’t some straightforward Nu Disco update. Instead, Tenet uses a light touch, referencing the original while building something that stands entirely on its own.
The result is a House track that could work in several different settings, but we especially like its deeper undertone. That mood transitions perfectly into an even deeper remake of the early-’90s House classic “Good Life.”
Twin Diplomacy then delivers a darker remix of Daft Punk’s massive “Get Lucky,” before Yotto reaches back into the ’80s with “Good Time (Clothes Off).” The track cheekily flips the message of “You Don’t Have To Take Your Clothes Off” into an invitation to do exactly the opposite, closing the set with a wink and a smile.
New Dance Club Music With One Foot in the Past
On paper, parts of this set might look like a throwback collection. It really isn’t.
The backbone of Summer Sweat 2026 Volume 2 comes from the new Tech House, Bass House, Afro House and contemporary dance club music currently riding high around the world. The classics and familiar samples simply provide connective tissue between generations of dance music.
That combination is what makes this set work.
Summer Sweat Volume 2 is a snapshot of what’s happening on dancefloors right now, while also grabbing records that many DJs may have overlooked. That’s why we spend so much time digging through new releases. The obvious hits are easy to find. It’s those hidden gems buried several pages deep that often turn out to be the tracks everyone asks about later.
Party Favorz will take another week off before returning with what used to be an annual release. We took an extended break from this particular series — much like one of our favorite diva — but the recovery period is over and the comeback is ready.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

We moved "Holding Onto You" by Chaney up the mix for better flow. Sorry for the inconvenienc
