Party Favorz — EDM, House & Dance Classics

As promised, Party Favorz returns with Volume 2 of the 2026 Summer Edition, packed with the hottest summer circuit anthems of the season.
From the Middle Eastern-inspired opening track “Unseen” by Guy Scheiman to Nick Harvey’s progressive house closer “Feel the Love,” this set delivers nonstop, high-powered energy built for your workout, summer party, or drive home after a long day.
The mix features several massive commercial releases, including “Patrona” by Becky G, Charli XCX’s latest track “Wink Wink,” “Sad Girls” by Bebe Rexha and David Guetta, Madonna’s “Danceteria,” and the powerhouse “More! More! More!” by Becky Hill and a Party Favorz favorite .
Naturally, the biggest names behind today’s circuit anthems are also represented. Dario Xavier, Henriq Moraes, Las Bibas From Vizcaya, Black Flamingo, and more bring the thunder with the oversized vocals, dramatic builds, and floor-shaking drops circuit boys crave. In other words, this set has everything needed to power your day and keep the party moving well into the night.
Meanwhile, Party Favorz is already compiling tracks for Volume 2 of Summer Sweat 2026. We’re also stashing away the latest Madonna bootlegs for an updated Diva Hall of Fame release, along with plenty of other surprises currently working their way through the pipeline.
So, if you haven’t been keeping up with our weekly drops, now is the time to catch up. The summer circuit anthems are coming fast, the release schedule is packed, and we’re only getting started.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Party Favorz is finally back with Summer Edition 2026 Volume 1, serving up the season’s hottest circuit anthems straight off the turntable—or at least most of them. Better late than never, boys.
I woke up around 2 a.m. this morning to finish a few things around the website before publishing the episode. Everything was going according to plan. The mix was finished, the artwork was ready, and for once, I was actually ahead of schedule. Naturally, that could not be allowed to continue.
Around 5 a.m., just as I was preparing to post Summer Edition 2026, I remembered that I had preordered a song from Beatport that was not scheduled for release until Friday. I figured it would be no big deal. I would download the track, slide it into the already perfect mix at the last minute, and carry on with my morning like the highly organized professional I occasionally pretend to be.
Then I opened the download section of Beatport and discovered five additional songs sitting there that I had purchased for last month’s Pride Edition but apparently never downloaded.
Seriously, what the hell?
I checked my music folders, searched every likely location, and confirmed that the tracks were nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, the new song I had originally gone looking for had not even been released yet. So there I was at five in the morning, staring at five orphaned Pride tracks and questioning every decision that had led me to that moment.
Because these songs were very much geared toward Gay Pride season, I briefly convinced myself that I could work them into Summer Edition 2026 Volume 1. After all, Pride does not end when June does, and a good circuit anthem should never be denied entry simply because it arrived late to the party.
Unfortunately, inserting five songs into an already completed set is not the same as tossing a few extra queens onto a parade float. One track can sometimes be squeezed in without causing too much drama. Five tracks can destroy the pacing, throw off the transitions, and send the entire mix spiraling into chaos faster than an open bar at a circuit party.
Once I started moving songs around, everything went off the rails. Transitions that had worked perfectly no longer fit. The energy rose and fell in all the wrong places. Suddenly, my polished mix was giving “committee meeting” instead of “peak-hour dance floor.”
Frustrated, I went back to bed and decided I would deal with it a few hours later. Surely, after some sleep and a fresh cup of coffee, I would find an elegant solution.
I did not.
Instead, I spent the entire morning dicking around with the tracklist, moving songs, deleting songs, restoring songs, and repeatedly proving that the original version had already been finished for a reason. For the first time in ages, I had been ready to publish everything on schedule, only to create a completely unnecessary headache for myself at the last minute.
Eventually, I gave up. I took the five tardy tracks and dropped them into a new folder labeled Fall Edition 2026. They may be excellent circuit anthems, but I am not entertaining these Mary-come-lately arrivals after they missed their original boarding call. They can sit in the waiting room until autumn and think about what they have done.
That brought me right back to the original finished mix—and honestly, that is where I should have stayed.
So here it is: Summer Edition 2026 Volume 1, featuring most of the hottest circuit anthems of the season for your listening pleasure. It is packed with soaring vocals, big-room drama, tribal rhythms, and enough hands-in-the-air energy to keep the boys moving long after the sun goes down.
The missing tracks will survive. The Fall Edition will benefit. Most importantly, this mix is finally out of my hands and headed straight to your speakers, because I do not have time for any more of this nonsense.
I will be back tomorrow with Volume 2.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

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!

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!

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 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!
