Summer Throwback Dance Party 2025: Volume 3

[sonaar_audioplayer player_layout="skin_button" sticky_player="true" show_track_market="true"]
Party Favorz returns—surprisingly quick—with Volume 3 of the Summer Throwback Dance Party 2025. This last blast stretches the feel-good journey even further, stacking fresh and funky gems from the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, and early 2000s. Feeling extra nostalgic, we even tossed in a pair of ’60s sing-along classics every bar crowd has belted out at least once over the past five decades.
The result? A nonstop, pool-ready soundtrack built for cannonballs, cold drinks, and backyard barbeque. We’re worn out—but you know how Party Favorz rolls. There’s no time to lounge because the annual Beach Party set is already in the works. Expect a sun-kissed wave of Funky-Disco-House grooves designed to lift spirits and help everyone forget—if only briefly—how chaotic the country feels right now coming your way soon.
We’re not here to proselytize (well, not most of the time). We’re here to pour a little sonic sunshine into your long holiday weekend—and light up every corner of your next gathering.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Summer Throwback Dance Party 2025: Volume 2

WHOA NELLY! Party Favorz has been working overtime to wrap up as much as possible before the July 4th holiday—and we're dropping Volume 2 of the Summer Throwback Dance Party 2025 a day earlier than expected.
This second set is packed with fan favorites, whether they were originally crafted for the dancefloor or not. Each track has been given a remix refresh, making them fit right into your summer celebration. Even better—this volume is loaded with all-new remixes, so there shouldn't be any repeats (but we won't swear on it).
I’ve got a full day ahead—heading into Atlanta for a doctor’s appointment, grabbing groceries, and picking up some new fish for our aquarium we had ordered—so I’m keeping this brief.
Don’t worry, Volume 3 is still on the way and should drop in the next few days, right before we shift gears into our regular summer fare. Until then, crank up the speakers and have a safe, happy 4th of July!
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Summer Throwback Dance Party 2025: Volume 1

It's that time again—just before the July 4th holiday—when Party Favorz serves up a sizzling summer throwback dance mix perfect for your backyard BBQ, pool party, or solo kitchen shuffle. And yes, we’re talking all-ages fun here.
If you’re new to this series, Summer Throwback Dance Party is where nostalgia meets the remix. These sets are loaded with classic Pop, Rock, Hip Hop, and Dance hits from the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, and early 2000s—songs everyone knows and loves—reimagined for today's dance floor. Some tracks mash two iconic hits into a new experience. Others stay faithful to the original but are given a modern boost. Either way, this is a throwback dance mix with universal appeal that keeps the energy high and the vibes carefree.
Old Favorites, New Twists
With each release, I aim to bring something fresh—whether through updated remixes or clever mashups—but it’s not always easy to keep track. Block & Crown, GhostMasters, Ghoustbusterz, The Soul Gang, FlashDancers, Disco Gurls... they’ve all been incredibly prolific. Aside from Block & Crown, most of these names are aliases for the same core group of ghost producers who recycle tracks, change titles, and rebrand under different monikers. One week it’s a “new” release. The next, it’s a rehash of something they dropped six months ago under another name.
I do my best not to repeat tracks from past volumes, but when the remix is good and the groove is timeless, I say let it ride. At the end of the day, a great jam is still a great jam—especially when you’re trying to get the party started.
Volume 1 Is Just the Beginning
Since last year’s Fall Throwback Dance Party, the flood of new retro-inspired tracks has been nonstop. There’s been so much quality output that I had enough material for three volumes this go-around. Because of time constraints, I’m rolling out Volume 1 today and plan to drop Volume 2 by Friday. Volume 3? That one’s coming next week.
No worries though—between this release and what’s coming later in the week, there’s more than enough fuel to keep your holiday playlist spinning. Mix in previous sets, and you've got hours of nonstop throwback party energy. By the time Volume 3 lands, it’ll feel like it was always part of the plan.
One Nation, Under a Groove
Whether you’re reliving your high school dance floor days or introducing the younger crowd to some real classics, there’s something for everyone here. From the ’60s (yes, I slipped a few gems in) through the 2000s, this throwback dance party is built to unite generations. These are the songs that made us move then—and still get us hyped now.
So go ahead—fire up the grill, crack open a cold one, and dance like nobody's watching. Whether it’s 1999 or any other golden year of your past, this Summer Throwback mix was made for moments like these.
Volume 2 is dropping Friday. Until the next time...ENJOY!

The Biggest Dance Songs of 2025 ...So Far! | Catch-Up 2025

Halfway there, but the ride feels shaky
We have officially crossed the midpoint of 2025, and—between a parade of medical visits and tapering off pain pills—I’ve had plenty of time to listen. What I’ve heard is a scene flooded with well-meaning producers who often sound exactly alike. Tools once locked behind studio doors now sit on every laptop, and the consequence is clear: presets rule, random samples of half-forgotten hits scatter everywhere, and every third track chases the same Afro-House rhythm. Variety exists, but you have to dig deeper than ever to find it. Catch-Up 2025 exists for that very reason.
Quantity over quality is wearing thin
Party Favorz screens hundreds of promos each week, covering every style under the dance umbrella. The inbox overload means true standouts must punch harder than ever before. When 30 tracks recycle the same kick, bass patch, and “nostalgia” hook, listeners start wondering whether they’re hearing a playlist or a single endlessly looping song. The “biggest dance songs of 2025” must clear a higher bar, yet the supply of fresh ideas keeps shrinking. That sameness forced me to lower the usual entry threshold just to assemble this Catch-Up 2025 mix—and I do not lower bars lightly.
A remix masterclass from Lola Young & David Puentez
Still, flashes of genius shine. Lola Young’s soulful “Messy” has owned my headphones since January. Early bootlegs skimmed by with polite Future-House padding, fine for playlists but hardly memorable. Then David Puentez arrived. He kept Lola’s raw vocal front and center (even if the verses are a little buried underneath the mix), ratcheted the tension with a snarling synth stab, and slipped in some Stutter House nobody saw coming. The result hits like a confetti cannon on a festival main stage—proof that originality can burn through the noise. This is exactly the mindset the biggest dance songs of 2025 need.
Streams, stats, and the shrinking spotlight
Remember when dance singles pulled 20 million YouTube streams in a week? Now a clip clears 1 million and the industry calls it a “smash.” Much of that traffic moved to Spotify and Apple Music, but pulling numbers is still tougher than ever. Compiling data for Catch-Up 2025 became an exercise in compromise. Lowering stream requirements let slower-burning records claim a slot, and I’m betting some late-season releases will surge before the final Top Dance Songs of 2025 list drops in December. For now, this midpoint snapshot reflects reality—even if reality needs a caffeine shot.
John Summit keeps things interesting
Credit where it belongs: John Summit refuses to coast. Rather than rinsing and repeating his 2024 formula, he jumped into collabs with indie vocalists, alt-pop writers that include sub-genres of his usual fortay. That willingness to gamble earns him multiple nods inside Catch-Up 2025. At the same time, some classics deserve a breather. “Born Slippy,” “Sweet Disposition,” “Silence,” and “Rapture” have inspired timeless moments, yet they don’t need another remake every quarter. Nadia Ali’s rumored return does make me smile—her voice defined an era—but endless tributes risk draining their own magic.
Filling the gaps without filler
A handful of Tech-House floor-workers sneak into the set to keep transitions smooth. They won’t break streaming records, yet they move hips, and momentum matters. In two spots I chose alternate versions over chart-topping originals because the edits lifted energy instead of stalling it. Think of Catch-Up 2025 as a living, breathing night out: the headline tunes shine, but the beat never dies between them.
About that déjà-vu intro…
Sharp-eared listeners will notice the opening block matches the launch of Club Fusion Winter 2025 from earlier in the year. Yes, I accidentally reused it. Chalk that lapse up to brain fog while weaning off prescription painkillers. The good news? Detox is on track, and I’ll share more on the recovery later this summer. Until then, thanks for rolling with the occasional face-palm.
Mid-year verdict—and a challenge
So there you have it: the biggest dance songs of 2025 (so far) gathered in one relentless near 4-hour surge. Catch-Up 2025 might expose cracks in the current landscape, yet it also proves the spark is still alive. Producers, if you’re reading, surprise us. Twist those samples into shapes we’ve never heard. Build new synth patches instead of scrolling to “Bass Preset 037.” Dance music thrives on risk—take some.
If this mix shakes your speakers, remember that Party Favorz runs on listener support. Toss a coin in the digital jukebox and keep the beats flowing for everyone.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

The Ultimate Kylie 2024 | Volume II [Updated]

After "Lights Camera Action" peaked at #1 on Billboard's Dance Radio chart at the end of 2024, I decided to update this set with the Dirty Disco remix and dropped "Sometimes Samauri", which I never liked and wasn't a big hit for Kylie. 

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.

Gay Pride Edition 2025: FREE TO BE!

As Party Favorz closes out Gay Pride series—celebrating empowerment, self-love, and freedom—I can’t ignore the direction the United States is drifting.
This afternoon, Washington, D.C. will stage a grand military parade for the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday. Tanks, Black Hawk helicopters, and 6,700 soldiers will rumble down Constitution Avenue, turning what began as an anniversary salute into a made-for-TV tribute to the president on his own birthday.
Meanwhile, the nation edges toward authoritarianism. Over the past week, masked ICE agents swept through Los Angeles in raids that detained scores of immigrants—many with legal status—stoking fear far beyond the undocumented community. The playbook is familiar: demonize “others,” then expand the target list.
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/sen-padilla-says-he-was-forced-ground-handcuffed-during-noem-press-conference-2025-06-12/High-profile confrontations underscore how aggressively the administration punishes dissent. Federal agents forced California Senator Alex Padilla to the ground and hand-cuffed him during a press conference; he was released but not formally arrested. Newark’s mayor, Ras Baraka, was arrested after trying to inspect a new private detention center, and New Jersey Congresswoman LaMonica McIver now faces federal charges for defending him.
The crackdown isn’t limited to immigration. Elite universities from Harvard on down are under investigation, broadcasters like CBS and ABC have paid steep settlements after First-Amendment-protected reporting, and law firms viewed as “too liberal” have seen security clearances yanked and federal contracts canceled. Those who complied did so under duress; those who fought back have won some courtroom victories, yet the White House often ignores rulings it dislikes, even from a generally sympathetic Supreme Court.
That same Court will soon decide Kennedy v. Braidwood Management, a case that could strip away no-cost coverage for preventive care—including PrEP, cancer screenings, and birth-control prescriptions—for more than 150 million people. If the justices side with Braidwood, insurers could drop these benefits or price them out of reach—an outcome that would hit LGBTQ communities first and hardest.
Our relationships, marriages, and hard-won legal protections are again on the line. While extremists ban LGBTQ books and shoehorn sectarian doctrine into public classrooms, we’re asked to trust that we won’t be next. History says otherwise.
So as we celebrate Pride for the rest of June, remember what’s at stake. Martin Niemöller’s warning still echoes:
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Use your voice while you still can.

Gay Anthems For a New Generation 2025 Volume 1: Essentials

It’s that time of year again — when we queers let our hair down, crank up the volume, and celebrate our unapologetic fabulousness. Pride is here, and while the political landscape may feel unstable and our rights constantly under siege, one truth remains: the LGBTQ community will always find a way to throw a damn good party. Or, as the Scissor Sisters cheekily reminded us, “Let’s Have a Kiki.”
Reimagining the Classics
Originally, the plan was to freshen up this year’s edition with newer remixes of iconic gay anthems. But after diving headfirst into a sea of fanmade bootlegs — many of which ranged from barely passable to downright unlistenable — I realized that over the years, I had already assembled the best of the best. So, instead of chasing ghosts, I shifted gears and pulled together what I consider to be the most powerful, energetic, and expertly crafted versions of these beloved tracks that had already been immortalized in digital form.
The Ultimate Essentials
Some songs were no-brainers — standout mixes that continue to dominate queer dancefloors year after year. Others posed a challenge, with multiple excellent interpretations vying for a spot. In those cases, I went with what worked best in the mix and what kept the momentum flowing. Sadly, a few favorites didn’t make the final cut, not because they weren’t worthy, but because they didn’t quite fit this year’s energy. That’s always the hardest part — deciding what to keep and what to let go.
In the end, what you’re getting is a tightly crafted experience: essential gay anthems from as far back as the '70s, reinvented with a modern edge that will hit just right for Millennials and Gen Z — and likely give Gen X and Boomers a reason to raise a glittery eyebrow and smile. These aren’t just remixes — they’re reinventions that breathe new life into songs that already had a heartbeat of their own.
A Community Effort
I want to give a massive shoutout to Hans, who responded to my call for suggestions with enthusiasm and insight. While I already had most of his picks in the archive, and only a couple made the final mix, his contribution helped steer the direction and is greatly appreciated. Hopefully, I did you proud, Hans.
World Pride, Doctor’s Orders, and a Delayed Drop
World Pride reaches its grand finale this weekend in Washington, D.C., which feels a bit off-kilter since it typically wraps up toward the end of June. I had fully intended to get these sets out much earlier, but between deep diving into remix archives and juggling an endless cycle of doctor’s appointments (check recent posts for that saga), time slipped through my fingers like glitter in a windstorm.
What’s Next?
Don’t worry — Volume 2 of Gay Anthems For a New Generation 2025 is scheduled to drop tomorrow morning. Expect more floor-shaking remixes, deeper cuts, and a continuation of this joyful, rebellious celebration of queer identity and liberation. If Volume 1 lights the fuse, Volume 2 brings the fireworks.
So crank it up. Celebrate yourself. And remember, this isn’t just music — it’s a legacy, reborn.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

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!
