Gay Anthems For A New Generation 2022 Volume 2

As promised, Party Favorz is back with volume 2 of the 2022 edition of Gay Anthems For A New Generation and this set is on FIRE! All the big gay anthems you'd expect in a comprehensive series like this are here along with long forgotten treasures from the past 12 or so years. I spent most of my morning going through this release with a fine tooth comb to ensure it was tight and flowed like butter. I also believe that by the time the 3rd volume drops later this next week, you will want for not as every aspect of gay life has been covered in this time capsule that honors our past and present. I would like to add another sub-category of the gay anthem list that wasn't included in the original post: teenage angst. While growing up gay has become more accepting and easier for teens, in many parts of the country (or even world) — it's still repressive. We all remember our years in high school when you just didn't come out for fear of being ostrasized or bullied or maybe you had a crush on your very straight best friend. There are a few songs in this set that touch on teenage angst, longing and anger. After watching the latest season of "Stranger Things" on Netflix and hearing "Running Up That Hill" by Kate Bush on repeat — it really go me thinking about the music I gravitated towards that gave me solace. It was if I was the only one that knew about Kate Bush and she belonged to and spoke to me and only me. She was later replaced by Sinead O'Connor with the release of the "Lion and the Cobra." Before all this was the Pretenders debut album." In the millennium, Emo became the standard bearer for angst-ridden teens. While you don't have to be gay to feel the isolation or depression that comes with this age group — being gay only compounded the social anxieties and the need to be accepted by your peers. I specifically want to dedicate this set to those kids and I assure you that it does in fact get better. Mind you, not perfect but much much better. I realize gay pride events have already kicked off so I'll be sure to drop the final volume around Thursday so everyone can get their gay on. There won't be an official Gay Pride release this year for the circuit boys but it will be rolled into part 1 of the 2022 Summer Edition. I've been promising our straight allies that new music is coming and I plan on sticking to that promise. Until the next time...ENJOY!

Gay Anthems For A New Generation 2022 Volume 1

Much ink has been spilt trying to define what constitutes a gay anthem, including on this very site. Since the changing of the guard from one generation to the next — Party Favorz has decided to offer a concise definition by simplifying what it was and how it's expanded from GenX to GenZ. First, not all songs embraced by the LGBT+ community were written as gay anthems but for a variety of reasons are wholly embraced by our community as being such. While the same principles that constitute a gay anthem remain in place: Big-voiced divas Overcoming hardship in love Throw your cares away Hard-won self-esteem Celebrating unashamed sexuality Search for acceptance Torch song of the world weary Love conquers all No apologies *Gay Anthem Wiki Songs pretty much about nothing that gay folk gravitate to because they're just plain fun can make the list as well even though that hues closer the 'throw your cares away' category or songs by gay artists themselves, which are agnotstic in the audience they're trying to reach. As such, when compiling this three-volume set — Party Favorz took great care to ensure that all the main staples that cross multiple generations are respresented but have been totally reworked into modern-day classics, which only shows how these songs stand the test of time. I also went back the last 12 years and yanked out several gay favorites that got us all sweaty on the dance floor to round the whole series out. So, you can expect the unexpected. There is much to celebrate in our achievements for equality while there's still much work to be done. Since of duty dictates that we're not finished yet and there are many road blocks ready to roll back our hard-fought gains over the past 20 years on the near horizon. This is something that very much weighs on my mind as Rick and I will decide whether we want to continue living in this country in the next 2 years. I'd be more than happy to stay and fight but there's not much a physically disabled person can do other than write about what I see heading our way. I'm going to leave that thought right here for now and will expand on what I'm seeing in the final volume of this series. No one needs a Debbie Downer when we should be celebrating but at some point...reality needs to sink in. For now, I want everyone (no matter your generation) to pop this first volume on and party like its 1999. Until the next time...ENJOY!

The Ultimate Gay Anthems & PRIDE Classics — Volume 5 | Final

We have finally reached the end of the Ultimate Gay Anthems & PRIDE Classics series and this fifth volume does not disappoint. I cannot begin to describe how difficult it is compiling and mixing this massive series. The decision process alone determining which songs make the cut and those that get left behind is a painful process. So, if there's anything you feel is missing — it'll likely make an appearance on the forthcoming Essential Gay Anthems For A New Generation set(s) I have planned for next week. I've been syphoning new remixes for songs that will be included and placing them into their own special folder and will collect our favorites since the original series began and compile everything into possibly two massive sets. For this final set, which represents a very specific time period between the 90's and say the first 15 years of the millennium with updated classics from those periods as welll as the 80's — I want to recognize the DJs that have not only filled our lives with so much joy but enriched them with their mastery and midas touch when it comes to reworking other artists. Over the course of this 5-set journey, the bulk of the biggest names have already been reconized in our Legacy series, which honors the work of not only the living but the deceased members of this elite community. It's no wonder that Hex Hector, Junior Vasquez, Ralphi Rosario, Tony Moran, Freemasons, Almighty, 7th Heaven, DJ Barry Harris, Thunderpuss, Victor Calderone, Toy Armada & DJ Grind, Wayne G and Jonathan Peters make up the bulk of what's presented here. No other DJs have contributed so much to our happiness and for that — we are most grateful for the joy they've brought to our lives. Keep in mind that while this series is a pretty fucking big deal and massive in scope and size — in no way does it discount or relegates artists, DJs and allies to the LGBTQ+ community not mentioned or represented in this series any less worthy. We worship them all and if I've left someone out — please accept my deepest apologies. I'll be back next week. Until then...ENJOY!

The Ultimate Gay Anthems & PRIDE Classics — Volume 4 | Final

This set has been updated since the original post. 'I Believe 2009 (Ralphi Rosario Vocal Club Mix)' by The Absolute feat. Suzanne Palmer was substituted for 'Body Rock' by Oceana and 'Dancing On My Own (Guy Scheiman Club Remix)' by Robyn was added to the final version. No sooner than I finished yesterday's post — I found an issue with the website, which lead me down a rabbit hole of multiple issues. Mind you, nothing that affects the user experience but triggers my anal instincts of perfection. By the time I finished and resolved to leave some issues for another day — my day was lost and I was too tired to finish volume 4 of the Ultimate Gay Anthems & PRIDE Classics that I promised I was going to do. Rick has been out of town so that allowed me to get up early this morning and get to work on cleaning up this mix, while replacing a couple of tracks with better versions. Then I started adding stuff I had forgotten about and this 4-hour set turned into nearly 5 hours. The end result is shear perfection and frankly a delight for GenX and early Millennials. I had decided to skip on mixing up a variety of styles for the final two volumes, which makes things a bit easier so volume 4 is big room circuit but nothing that's over the top. There's a lot of gay anthems and quality classic gay pride cuts here. As I had previously stated, this series is as close as you're going to get to a best of the Diva Hall of Fame people have asked me for. What's nice about this is that all those leading ladies that I never got around to inducting or for whatever reason didn't feel it was warranted — are included here. People like Jeanie Tracy, Kimberly Davis, Anastacia, Suzanne Palmer (who really deserves an entry), Paula Cole, Shania Twain, Heather Small (of M People), Judy Cheeks, Alison Limerick, Lara Fabian, Nelly Furtado, Debby Holiday, Amber, Goldfrapp, Sarah Atereth, Deborah Cooper, Beth Sacks, Pepper MaShay, Andra Day, Latanza Waters, CeCe Peniston, Sabrina Johnston, Shawn Christoper, Soraya Vivian (Degrees of Motion), Thelma Houston and so many more have touched our little gay hearts at one point or another in our drama-filled lives that it's a travesty that I can't acknowledge all of them. Consider this series their honorary induction and acknowledgement of what they've meant to so many of us. We say, thank you from the bottom of our little queer hearts. We've got one more set to go, which will be the remaining Hi NRG and house music tracks before jumping into the annual Gay Anthems For A New Generation so we can wrap up our 2022 Gay Pride offerings before festivities start kicking off.

The Ultimate Gay Anthems & PRIDE Classics — Volume 3

The Ultimate Gay Anthems & PRIDE Classics volume 3 is now ready for mass release and this one follows in the same footsteps as its predecessors in that it goes back and forth from Hi NRG to Big Room classics. Apparently, I had compiled more tracks than I realized, so this four-set series will turn into five. I've pretty much got volume 4 in the bag but want to make some last minute track version changes and plan on dropping that tomorrow to speed things up. The goal is to have the final volume and the anticipated two-volume set of The Ultimate Gay Anthems For A New Generation out by the end of the month so we can move on to regularly scheduled programming. It's not clear if there will be an official 2022 Gay Pride set — so I'll just leave that as an open question mark. In other news, Apple went back and has now put the entire Party Favorz Store up on Apple Podcasts. The show is available in iTunes but there they only have the standard Party Favorz show and all the other shows are listed out in the wild separately from the main show (that's not how they used to do it so I may have to reach out to them to have them put under one umbrella). I'm not sure why iTunes is different from Apple Podcasts but I'm not going to spend a lot of time on it. Anywho, you can now follow Party Favorz on Apple Podcasts as well as each individual category separately and it's all under one roof here https://apple.co/3NbkT7t If you're following on iTunes, I'd still recommend using the manual  method because that one lists up to 300 episodes while the official channel only has 100. Plus, you can go back and add each category individually to keep all your folders better organized if you choose by using the feed URL for each genre I provided in my last post. Since I took that post down — I will try to have those listed in the support section later today. I should be back tomorrow. Until then...ENJOY!

The Ultimate Gay Anthems & PRIDE Classics — Volume 2

Party Favorz is back with volume 2 of the Ultimate Gay Anthems & Pride Classics and the gay just keeps getting gayer. To be honest, I only had an outline in my mind about what I wanted to achieve with this 'ultimate' gay anthems series. It wasn't until I started putting it together that I realize just how difficult it was going to be. In most cases, I'm trying to stick with the original versions but in other instances — I'm finding it better to go with more current remixes of the same track to keep the pace and overall flow tight. This becomes more evident once volume 3 drops later this week. No need to worry because these updated remixes stay true to the original. Because of the diverse styles included here, I found that key mixing only works for some songs but the need to change direction becomes necessary so as not to have the same style used for long stretches. That's where matching the percussive elements of each song come into play even when the styles are different. There is no software for that and it's just something I learned to do a long time ago when I either got stuck or needed to change the energy of the mix. Equally, I find myself having to re-edit many of the overly ambitious remixes that have extended drops that take you nowhere. That only happened twice in this set but considerably more in the upcoming volumes. However, I did leave 'Un-break My Heart' by Toni Braxton alone this time. This is the first Hex Hector remix that really sparked his star (even if it was done with Soul Solution) but it was clear he hadn't totally worked out his drop technique yet. Editing this song is easy but since I've never let it run all the way through before — I thought this would be the time to leave it in its full glory because it's not overly long. Any of you following the Roe v Wade issue currently exploding in the United States know that I get overly heated on political issues. After the draft opinion by SCOTUS was leaked in advance of its official release in late June — I've become inconsolable — and you should be too. What I see coming down the pipeline affects everyone — not just women. I'll have more to say about it likely at the end of all these Pride mixes because I want to be as clear and precise as to the fallout from this decision and how serious we should all be taking this. For now, I just want everyone to be free gay and happy. Lot's a great stuff heading your way. Until the next time...ENJOY!

The Ultimate Gay Anthems & PRIDE Classics — Volume 1

Party Favorz is officially kicking off the 2022 Gay Pride season early with volume one of the Ultimate Gay Anthems & PRIDE Classics series. These sets are a massive update to the original Gay Pride Classics sets that were originally released in 2014 (It Get's Better, Love Sensation, True Colors, Together Again & We Are Family). This and the forthcoming volumes primarily focus on gay anthems that were released in the 90s through the first half of the millennium. As far as Party Favorz is concerned, this is the golden age of club music with so many entries for inclusion it was painful to drop just one song. However, there are some newer songs that go past that timeline that have become staples in the Gay Pride arsenal as well. The majority of newer anthems will be included in the upcoming 'Ultimate Gay Anthems For A New Generation' release scheduled for later in the month. Since the original release, there has been a glut of remixes for instantly recognizable classics who's original version didn't quite fit in with the overall flow of this release so we went with the updated versions. To be certain, this is not the same series as the original releases. Barry Harris and Dirty Disco have been the main contributors who have preserved and modernized many of our favorite gay anthems. Speaking of which, you're going to find a hefty dose of other legends like Hex Hector, Junior Vasquez, Ralphi Rosario, Freemasons, Victor Calderone, Wayne G, Almighty and 7th Heaven amongst the many songs included here. Over the years, we've had a lot of calls for the creation of a best of the Diva Hall of Fame. While there are currently no plans to create such a series because it's a bit redundant — consider these final Gay Anthem releases to be just that. The tracklist alone on this series reads like a who's who of our favorite divas who've been inducted into the Hall of Fame including those one or two-hit wonders that never went beyond the kind of recognition they rightfully deserved. You will notice in this initial tracklist a little something, something by one our personal favorites K.D. Lang. The one solid remix missing from her induction into the Diva Hall of Fame was a great remix of 'Constant Craving.' I don't want to speak ill of the person who did the remix that was included in the release but it was really bad and there weren't any other options at the time of its release. Enter the fabulous legendary Tracy Young. It appears Tracy created a remix of 'Constant Craving' in late 2021 after the release of our Diva Series, which may be updated to include it later this year and can be purchased here for diehard fans. I could go on and on about how much fun this set was creating and all the headaches entailed in working in a diverse setlist like this but that would only suck the joy out of listening to it. If you enjoy this as much as we did making it — that's all that matters because there's more to come. Until the next time...ENJOY!

Gay Anthems For A New Generation 2020 | Non-stop Mix Of Modern-day Gay Pride Anthems

Every year during Gay Pride, the question "what constitutes a gay anthem" has been asked and answered in countless posts about the subject — even on this site. Party Favorz wants to break it down so "others" can have a better understanding as to why certain songs attract gay folk like flies to honey. By quoting the 2002 book "Queer," Wikipedia gets it mostly right but goes off the rails in other areas:

Dirty Disco | PRIDE Legacy Edition

One of the hottest club music remix and production teams at the moment is Dirty Disco. Longtime rivals, friends, and now business partners DJs Mark De Lange and JD Arnold are from Houston, TX where De Lange owns several bars in the area including Bayou City Bar in Montrose and the Eagle while the two use their properties as testing grounds for new music.
