EDM & House Music: Party Favorz (Circuit, Funky & Dance Classics)

Beach House 2026 Volume 2: Summer’s Hottest Disco House Mix

It’s 2:27 Sunday morning, I can’t sleep, and Party Favorz is dropping Beach House 2026 Volume 2. This fucker absolutely oozes with one of the hottest disco house mixes of the summer.
Originally, this year’s Beach House was built as one giant episode. However, after sitting on two amazing pieces of cover art, we decided the music deserved room to breathe. Splitting the release into two volumes made perfect sense.
As a result, Volume 2 picks up exactly where the first set began boiling over. Illyus & Barrientos kick things off with “Right Here,” wasting no time before hitting listeners square between the eyes.
Illyus & Barrientos Bring the Heat
Illyus & Barrientos usually operate in the high-octane reaches of house music that Party Favorz loves. Their productions have appeared across several of our genre releases, including Peak Hour and even Circuit & Anthems.
“Right Here” was a natural fit for Beach House 2026 Volume 2. It opens the floodgates before all hell breaks loose. The energy remains relentless through the first half of the episode before gradually cooling down midway through the mix.
That shift gives the set a natural arc. It starts hot, pushes the temperature into dangerous territory, and then eases listeners into the deeper and smoother side of funky house.
Mirko & Meex Flip “Love Sensation”
Mirko & Meex take us back to familiar territory with their own spin on Loleatta Holloway’s disco classic “Love Sensation.”
Instead of rebuilding the entire song, they zero in on Holloway’s “let me tell you” refrain and turn it into a disco house delight. Producers have sampled nearly every corner of this song over the years, yet Mirko & Meex found a section that still feels surprisingly fresh.
It always amazes us when a production team pulls one brief line from a familiar record and transforms it into something that stands on its own. That takes a sharp ear and a little imagination. In this case, the gamble pays off beautifully.
Discovering the Roots of a Cassius and Avicii Favorite
Next up is Gwen McCrae’s late-seventies soul classic “All This Love That I’m Givin’.”
The song found an entirely new audience in 1999 when French duo Cassius sampled it for “My Feeling for You.” That vocal has since been chopped, filtered, and rebuilt by Avicii and numerous other producers, allowing the hook to become a recurring dancefloor hit across several generations.
To be honest, we never knew the true origins of the sample until the Topaki Disco Team released this edit.
Party Favorz takes pride in having a musical database that stretches back decades. Still, every so often, a song exposes a gap in our knowledge. This was one of those moments. Discovering the original only makes its long life in dance music more impressive.
Dr Packer Revisits Jocelyn Brown
From there, we move quickly from one classic to another with a new update of Jocelyn Brown’s mid-eighties anthem “Somebody Else’s Guy.”
This time, the incomparable Dr Packer handles the remix duties. Rather than stripping away what made the original special, he stays faithful to its soulful foundation while giving it the polished low end and modern punch needed for today’s dancefloor.
Jocelyn Brown already has a well-earned place in the Party Favorz Diva Hall of Fame. Meanwhile, Dr Packer has built his reputation by breathing new life into disco, funk, and house records from the seventies, eighties, and nineties.w8
His catalog belongs in the same conversation as Purple Disco Machine. In fact, we are such big fans of his work that a Dr Packer Legacy tribute could very well happen in the near future.
“Trapped” and “This Time Baby” Return to the Floor
Deeper into the mix, Kolter delivers a pounding update of Colonel Abrams’ mid-eighties classic “Trapped.”
Rather than relying on the full original arrangement, Kolter samples the chorus and rebuilds it as an absolute house floor-burner. The hook remains instantly recognizable, but everything surrounding it has been engineered for maximum impact.
Avision follows with “This Time,” a modern flip of Jackie Moore’s 1979 disco classic “This Time Baby.”
Much like Kolter’s treatment of “Trapped,” Avision uses only a slice of the familiar chorus before turning the energy dial to ten. Both tracks show how producers can honor classic dance music without simply copying it. They retain the emotional payoff while creating something made for a new generation of clubgoers.
Sister Sledge and Angie Stone Close the Journey
Romain Villeroy later updates the Sister Sledge classic “Lost in Music,” one of the many enduring songs written by Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards.
His version, titled “No Turning Back,” remains faithful to the original while pulling its name from one of the song’s most memorable lines. It is a fitting tribute to a record that has never truly left the dancefloor.
Finally, Mozambo and Antdot close Beach House 2026 Volume 2 with an update of Angie Stone’s millennium-era R&B favorite “Wish I Didn’t Miss You.”
This song has always been a Party Favorz favorite. Placing it at the end allows the set to bring the temperature down without losing its soul. After an episode packed with fiery disco loops, pounding house grooves, and familiar hooks, the track delivers the perfect emotional landing.
Overall, followers of our Funky House series should find plenty to love here. Beach House 2026 Volume 2 is loaded with updated classics, filtered disco, soulful vocals, and enough summer heat to keep this episode on repeat for months.
Party Favorz has also finished assembling our next Summer Edition release for the circuit boys. The artwork alone should be a major crowd-pleaser, so stay tuned.

After falling asleep while writing this, I woke up, drank a mug of coffee, and scarfed down a Sausage McMuffin with Egg, a hash brown, and hot sauce to finally get this thing posted. I apologize for the delay.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Beach House 2026 Volume 1 | The Ultimate Disco House Summer Mix

The summer heat is in full force, so Party Favorz is here to cool things down with our annual Beach House 2026 release. Volume 1 kicks off this two-part series with an irresistible blend of Disco House, Filter House, Funky House, and Vocal House that's built for pool parties, beach days, backyard cookouts, and late-night gatherings with friends. If you're looking for the ultimate disco house summer mix, you've come to the right place.
From Slow Start to Summer Soundtrack
I'll admit, this one didn't come together as easily as I expected.
When I first started digging through the latest releases, nothing was really grabbing me. It felt like I was wading through an endless stream of new music without finding that spark. After our Spring funky house release, I expected this set to fall into place naturally. Instead, it became one of the more difficult playlists to build this year.
Outside of music, life wasn't exactly cooperating either. Between ongoing nurse visits for dressing changes, doctor's appointments that seem to multiply by the week, and trying to keep everything organized, my mind simply wasn't in the right place. Looking back, that's been a recurring theme throughout much of 2026.
When Everything Finally Clicked
The breakthrough came in the most unexpected way.
After taking a few days off from listening during my usual road trips, I threw on my Bluetooth headphones one evening while winding down with a game of Monopoly before bed. Suddenly, everything made sense. Every transition flowed effortlessly. Each record complemented the next like it had always belonged there. Before long, I was completely absorbed in the music while some AI opponent quietly destroyed me in Monopoly.
That's when I knew these mixes were ready.
Disco House Classics Meet Fresh New Sounds
One of the things I love most about Beach House 2026 Volume 1 is how effortlessly it blends recognizable classics with today's modern Disco House production.
Richard Vission revisits Patrice Rushen's timeless "Haven't You Heard" with the infectious "Looking For You," while Cristoph and Michael Anthony transform Sheila & B. Devotion's disco masterpiece "Spacer" into a hypnotic Filter House groove that feels both nostalgic and completely fresh.
You'll also hear plenty of clever mashups where familiar vocals are layered over brand-new Disco House rhythms. These producers clearly know their dance music history, and it shows throughout the set.
Naturally, Loleatta Holloway—arguably the most sampled female vocalist in dance music history—makes multiple appearances across both volumes. It simply wouldn't feel like a proper Disco House release without her unmistakable voice finding its way into the mix.
House Music Legends Get Modern Updates
Fans of classic House music will also find plenty to love.
Harry Romero breathes new life into Dajae's legendary "Brighter Days," preserving everything that made the original a club anthem while giving it a contemporary edge. Meanwhile, RUZE and Chesster revisit Soulsearcher's early millennium favorite "Feelin' Love," delivering another update that fits seamlessly alongside today's Funky and Filter House productions.
These aren't remakes for the sake of nostalgia. They honor the originals while sounding perfectly at home on modern dance floors.
A Mashup That Stole the Show
If I had to pick one standout, it would probably be "Playin Games" by Block & Crown.
The instrumental borrows Chic's iconic "I Want Your Love," a Disco House staple that's been sampled and reworked countless times over the years. Layered over the top is an old-school vocal that even managed to stump this longtime dance music obsessive. That's saying something.
It's one of those records where every element just works, making it an easy inclusion in this year's set.
Volume Two Arrives This Weekend
Overall, I couldn't be happier with how Beach House 2026 Volume 1 turned out. What started as one of the most difficult Disco House mixes I've assembled this year ultimately became one of the most rewarding.
I also leaned into a classic Hed Kandi-inspired aesthetic for the artwork, which felt like the perfect visual companion to the uplifting, sun-soaked vibe of the music inside.
This is only the beginning. Volume 2 arrives this Saturday with another collection of Disco House, Funky House, and Filter House favorites that will keep the summer party going.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Summer Sweat 2026: Summer's Hottest Dance Mix

This mix is dedicated to Bonnie Tyler. Featuring David Guetta's Together with Bonnie's newly recorded vocals, it's a small tribute to an artist with one of the biggest voices in music—a voice that will never be forgotten.
Summer's Hottest Dance Mix Arrives
If you're ready to tune out the noise for a while, Summer Sweat 2026 is exactly what you need. This year's edition is easily summer's hottest dance mix, delivering two and a half hours of nonstop club energy.
I wasn't completely sold on this batch of new releases when I first started assembling the playlist. In fact, I wondered if dance music had hit another lull. But once everything came together in the mix, I had one of those holy crap moments. The transitions were seamless, the energy kept building, and when I cranked it up during a test drive, everything just clicked. Every track melted into the next like butter. Party Favorz is bringing the goods to kick your summer into high gear.
Fresh Club Anthems Worth Your Attention
One track that deserves far more attention is Hard Decision (Don't Blink Remix) by Goom Gum and Dont Blink. Its infectious synth stabs and hypnotic "it's hard" refrain immediately recall the peak years of early millennium dance music while sounding completely modern. It's one of those records that transports you somewhere else and absolutely belongs on more DJ playlists.
We also revisit several classic dance records that have been reinvented for today's club scene. Eric Prydz's Call On Me, Plastic Dreams, and Darude's Sandstorm all receive respectful yet powerful updates that capture the spirit of the originals while packing enough punch for modern dance floors.
One standout deserves special mention. Wet by Wh0 isn't just another remake—it's a clever reimagining of Barry Harris' iconic millennium anthem Dive In the Pool. Rather than simply updating the production, Wh0 transforms the song into a fresh house weapon that feels perfectly at home in today's clubs while preserving everything that made the original such a dance floor classic.
Not every remake lands with the same impact. Work by PupanasT x James Hype featuring Denise Belfon and Pump Up the Jam by Provi both embrace Afro House rhythms and remain faithful to their source material, though they sacrifice some of the raw energy that made the originals unforgettable.
Then there's Wonderland Avenue's take on White Horse, which may be one of my favorite surprises in the set. It stays remarkably true to the original while layering in crunchy electro house production that feels both current and nostalgic, echoing the sound that dominated clubs during the early 2000s.
Madonna Delivers Again
Anyone who follows Party Favorz knows we're unapologetic Madonna fans, so the arrival of Confessions on a Dancefloor II was one of the year's most anticipated releases. Thankfully, it exceeded expectations.
Our DJ service delivered several extended mixes before the official release, giving us access to some outstanding tracks. Among them is Danceteria, a song that feels like a spiritual successor to Vogue. Madonna once again celebrates the personalities, DJs, and nightlife culture that helped launch her career in New York's legendary club scene. Since official club remixes haven't surfaced yet, we selected Frank Chambers' mashup, which seamlessly blends Danceteria with elements of Vogue while respecting both songs.
More Standout Tracks
Another record flying under the radar is Wo;man by Peggy Gou and Ayra Starr. The funky house groove immediately grabs your attention, but it's Ayra Starr's effortless vocal performance that seals the deal. Don't let this one slip past you.
Hugel continues his meteoric rise with a debut album packed with club-ready material. Movin' To the Sun featuring Ultra Naté has already generated countless remixes, while Body Drop with Big Sean and Scott Storch is currently tearing up dance floors.
One of my personal favorites is Stay Sexy with LaBritney and Mili. Its unapologetic message—"get money, stay pretty, handle your business, enjoy your life, stay sexy and don't give a fuck"—rides atop a relentless Afro House groove that's practically guaranteed to ignite dance floors all summer long.
A Fitting Tribute to Bonnie Tyler
Closing Summer Sweat 2026 is David Guetta, Hypaton, and Bonnie Tyler's massive club anthem Together. Released last year, the song brilliantly reimagines Bonnie Tyler's legendary Total Eclipse of the Heart, transforming Jim Steinman's theatrical masterpiece into a euphoric, hands-in-the-air festival anthem that connects generations of dance music fans.
Bonnie Tyler possessed one of the most recognizable and powerful voices in popular music. Her unmistakable raspy delivery made every performance unforgettable, and while she may be gone, her music will continue inspiring listeners for generations to come.
Summer Sweat 2026 Proves Dance Music Is Thriving
When I wrapped up Summer Leap, I couldn't shake the feeling that dance music had entered another stagnant period. Thankfully, Summer Sweat 2026 proved me wrong.
There was far more happening in club music than I initially realized, and while I couldn't possibly cover every standout track in this write-up, this set captures the excitement, creativity, and momentum currently driving today's dance floors.
If you're looking for summer's hottest dance mix, Summer Sweat 2026 delivers exactly what the title promises—an energetic soundtrack packed with future anthems, clever reinventions, and enough high-octane house music to carry you through the hottest months of the year.
This is only Volume 1. There was simply too much outstanding music to squeeze into a single mix, so expect Summer Sweat 2026 Volume 2 to arrive later this month or sometime in early to mid-August. Until then, turn it up, stay cool, and keep the party going.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Summer Throwback Dance Party 2026 Volume 2: The Ultimate Retro Dance Mix

Summer Throwback Dance Party returns with Volume 2 for 2026 on the eve of the United States’ 250th anniversary, and this one packs a serious punch. This latest edition features a couple more Michael Jackson throwback gems alongside an incredible mix of 70s, 80s, 90s, and early 2000s mashups and reworks. Even the closing track, “Till The Lights Go Out,” is a modern mashup that incorporates “Talk To You” by ANOTR, bringing the journey full circle from yesterday’s classics to today’s dance music. Many of these selections remain timeless pop favorites, reworked and blended for today’s dancefloor while keeping everything that made them unforgettable in the first place.
Classic Throwbacks Meet Modern Mashups
Volume 2 of the Summer Throwback Dance Party series leans hard into the kind of songs that defined radio, clubs, skating rinks, house parties, and every other place where people came together to dance. These aren’t just random retro selections tossed into a mix. They’re familiar songs that still carry weight because they connect to specific moments in time.
That’s always been the power of a strong throwback set. A single hook can take you back to where you were, who you were with, and what life felt like before everything became so complicated. Whether it’s a 70s disco groove, an 80s pop anthem, a 90s house classic, or a 2000s club favorite, the music still works because the songs were built to last.
The newer mashups and reworks help freshen things up without stripping away the original charm. That balance matters. Some producers understand how to modernize a classic without burying it under too much production. Others go too far and leave very little of the original magic behind. Thankfully, this set focuses on the versions that keep the spirit intact while giving the dancefloor something new to grab onto.
AI Is Changing the Sound of Throwback Music
One trend that’s impossible to ignore is the growing role of artificial intelligence in music production. Several familiar classics now sound as though they’re being performed by entirely different artists when, in reality, they’re the original recordings with AI-altered vocals. Producers are changing keys, extending vocal ranges, adding harmonies, and reshaping performances while preserving the cadence and phrasing of the original track.
To my ears, this doesn’t necessarily diminish the songs. In some cases, it gives them a second life for newer audiences who may not have connected with the original version. At the same time, it also shows how many producers are leaning more heavily on technology than originality. Instead of creating something entirely fresh, they’re finding new ways to repackage songs people already know.
I’ve mentioned in previous editions of the Summer Throwback Dance Party series that many Funky House producers have been recycling tracks for years. Sometimes they make only minor changes before releasing them under completely different titles. At the height of that trend, there were simply too many releases to track every variation, which made occasional duplication almost impossible to avoid. Rather than fight it, we chose to embrace the music for what it was and let the mixes flow.
Why It’s Time to Wrap Up the Throwback Series
That brings us to an important announcement. We believe the Throwback Dance Party series has reached its natural conclusion, making these its final installments.
Later this year, Party Favorz will release a Best Of Throwback Dance Party collection featuring the biggest and most memorable tracks from the entire series. We’re also planning the same treatment for our Thank God It’s Disco series, which has likewise reached its creative peak. Expect two carefully assembled volumes for each collection featuring the very best dancefloor moments we’ve shared over the years.
It’s always difficult to close the door on a series that people have enjoyed, but sometimes the right move is to end it while the music still feels strong. These collections deserve a proper sendoff, and that’s exactly what we plan to give them.
America at 250: A Personal Reflection
As the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary this Fourth of July weekend, I find myself feeling disconnected from what should be a historic celebration. America has achieved remarkable things over the past two and a half centuries, but it has also left behind deep scars that cannot be ignored. The displacement of Native Americans, slavery, and countless other injustices remain part of our shared history. Acknowledging those truths doesn’t diminish the nation’s achievements. It gives us a fuller picture of the country we’ve become.
For me personally, this anniversary carries a different meaning.
When Opportunity Isn't Equal
As a disabled American, I’ve spent much of my life watching opportunities disappear because employers couldn’t see beyond my disability. My resume consistently opened doors and earned interviews thanks to years of success in business management and marketing. But once I arrived in person, it often became painfully obvious that I wasn’t what they expected.
Ironically, one of the most successful chapters of my career came while working for my father’s struggling business. I completely restructured the company’s operations, modernized its marketing, streamlined its processes, and helped transform it into a multi-million-dollar success. Even my own mother once told me they wouldn’t have hired me if I hadn’t been their son. Hearing that from someone so close to me was painful, but it also confirmed what I already knew. Too many people saw my disability before they ever saw my abilities.
My father ultimately took credit for the turnaround and the changes that fueled the company’s success, even though I was the one who implemented them. That experience stayed with me because it wasn’t just about recognition. It was about being useful enough to fix the problem, but not visible enough to be credited for the solution.
Later, after being furloughed from AT&T as jobs were outsourced overseas, I found myself relying solely on my experience and accomplishments. Unfortunately, too many prospective employers saw my disability before they saw the qualifications. That’s a hard reality to sit with, especially in a country that celebrates opportunity as one of its founding promises.
That’s why, as America celebrates both Independence Day and its 250th anniversary, I can’t help but remember that the promises of opportunity and equality have not been experienced equally by everyone. For many Americans, including those living with disabilities, the pursuit of those ideals remains unfinished.
Thankfully, music has always been one place where everyone is welcome. On the dancefloor, backgrounds, politics, disabilities, and differences fade away. For a few hours, we’re simply united by great music, shared memories, and the joy of dancing together.
Happy 4th of July!
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Summer Throwback Dance Party 2026 Volume 1 [Updated]

Celebrate the Fourth With the Summer Throwback Dance Party
Now that we've put Gay Pride behind us, we're jumping straight into the Fourth of July with our latest Summer Throwback Dance Party mix to help make your holiday cookouts something worth celebrating. Sure, 2026 marks America's 250th birthday, but that's not exactly something I'm feeling particularly festive about. Instead, we're treating this Fourth of July like any other. That doesn't mean we should let everything happening around us — or the wannabe authoritarian currently occupying the White House — steal our joy. On the contrary, Party Favorz is here to make sure your holiday is filled with great music, good friends, and plenty of reasons to smile.
Michael Jackson Takes Center Stage
About a month ago, I received an email from a longtime follower suggesting I put together a Michael Jackson Legacy edition after the Michael movie reignited interest in his catalog. According to him, theaters were packed with audiences singing, dancing, and forgetting their worries for a couple of hours. While I ultimately decided not to produce a dedicated Legacy episode, I found the next best thing.
My DJ service recently added a wave of fresh remixes of Michael's biggest hits from the 1980s, and they were simply too good to ignore. That made him the perfect centerpiece for these first two volumes of the Throwback Dance Party series. Whatever your opinion of Michael Jackson's personal life, there's no denying his influence on pop music, dance culture, and generations of artists who followed. These updated remixes breathe new life into timeless classics while fitting seamlessly alongside the biggest party anthems spanning four decades of pop and dance music.
Leave Your Worries Behind
If ever there were a time to put the daily chaos aside and lose yourself in the music, this is it. That's always been what Party Favorz is about—bringing people together through great dance music. So fire up the grill, invite your friends and family over, crank this set up loud, grab a beer, margarita, or whatever your favorite beverage happens to be, and enjoy the holiday the way it was meant to be enjoyed.
Thank You for Your Support
A special thank-you goes out to Anthony for his generous donation to support Party Favorz. It's support like this that helps keep these mixes coming and reminds me why I've been doing this for nearly two decades.
We'll be back later this week with Volume 2 of the Summer Throwback Dance Party series. Until the next time...ENJOY!

Gay Pride Edition 2026

Welcome to the 2026 Gay Pride Edition!
It's been a long-ass journey to get to this point, but we made it. You'd think that after doing this for 19 years it would get easier. Instead, it seems to get harder every year.
This latest Gay Pride Edition completely blew through my budget for production, coming in at over $150. To be honest, I'm not sure there's enough here to justify that kind of expense. Don't get me wrong — the mix itself is stellar. But many of the standout tracks are Pride classics that were remixed years ago. Rafael Lelis' take on "Born This Way" dates back to around 2013, and the Whitney Houston and Rihanna mashup has been floating around for even longer.
Chasing the Music
The bigger issue is that the remix landscape has changed. The DJs I follow on SoundCloud simply aren't releasing the volume of promo material they used to. When they do, many are newer producers who are difficult to discover because SoundCloud's recommendation system isn't exactly helpful. More often than not, I won't even see a great remix until months after it's been uploaded. Considering I'm paying for a Pro subscription, you'd think the platform would do a better job. Unfortunately, it doesn't.
That leaves Bandcamp and Beatport as my primary sources.
Bandcamp is where I support producers like Dario Xavier, Henriq Moraes, and several others who consistently put out quality commercial and circuit remixes. I've happily supported their work for years, but when a single track starts pushing $8, it feels a bit excessive. One song in this set falls into that category. I've also seen producers bundle one track inside a $25 package just to force the sale. Those are usually easy passes.
Beatport is where I pick up releases from labels like Queen House Music, Swishcraft Music, and others who consistently deliver high-quality circuit and tea dance music. At roughly $2.49 per track, the pricing is more reasonable, but the costs add up quickly. It's not unusual for me to spend more than $50 building a set because most of these songs never appear on my DJ service, which I'm already paying $50 a month for after downgrading from an annual plan that now costs over $400.
Does Anybody Even Like These Sets?
As for the circuit and anthem sets themselves, I'm honestly not sure where they stand with listeners. There are plenty of circuit mixes on SoundCloud, some good and some exceptional. Many focus heavily on original productions, often in languages other than English. My goal has always been different. I try to balance circuit music with familiar commercial vocals, progressive house, and tea dance influences to create something that's accessible to a wider audience while still keeping the energy high.
The challenge is that I receive very little feedback, so it's difficult to know whether these sets are resonating with anyone beyond the download numbers.
The Future of Party Favorz
If you enjoy what I do and want these circuit and anthem series to continue, I need your support. The costs of producing them have reached a point where I can no longer absorb everything on my own. The next scheduled release is the Summer Edition in July. If the resources aren't there, I'll likely postpone it until the fall and reassess where things stand.
I'm not trying to be a downer. I'm simply being honest about the reality of producing these shows in 2026.
That said, I'm still here and still fighting to keep Party Favorz moving forward. I'll be back before the July 4th holiday with our next Throwback Dance Party set.
Happy Pride, everybody!
Until the next time...ENJOY!
