Top Dance Club Songs of the Year 2024 Volume II | The Year’s Biggest Bangers!

Party Favorz is back with the second installment of the Top Dance Club Songs of 2024, highlighting the year’s most electrifying bangers! This volume features the tracks that defined dance floors worldwide, solidifying 2024 as an exceptional year for club music.
A Year of Genre Diversity
One of the standout elements of 2024’s dance music scene has been its diversity. While massive EDM anthems reminiscent of the late 2000s and early 2010s still resonate with partygoers, genres like Tech House, Future House, Bass House, Nu Disco, Melodic House, Drum and Bass, and Afro House have firmly staked their claim.
While Afro House and Tech House may be nearing their saturation point in some circles, their influence remains strong. Although these genres may not fully penetrate mainstream clubs, they continue to offer breakout hits that leave a lasting impression on dance music enthusiasts.
The Rise of Hyper-Infused Beats
Since 2023, a fascinating trend in house music has emerged—high-energy tracks with tempos ranging from 138 to 150 BPM. Volume II of the Top Dance Club Songs of 2024 compiles some of the best examples of this trend, including tracks like:
"I Like the Way You Kiss Me" by Artemis
"(When I'm With You) Free" by Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding
"Thank You (Not So Bad)" by Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike
"Pedro" by Raffaella Carrà, Agatino Romero, and Jaxomy
These tracks span genres such as House, Techno, Trance, and Hard Dance, but all share the same blazing-fast BPM, making them seamlessly transitionable in any mix. This infusion of hyper-charged beats adds to the eclectic energy of this year’s club scene.
The Rich Tapestry of Dance Music
Dance music in 2024 is nothing short of a vibrant tapestry, woven from mainstream hits and underground gems. While this series captures the year’s biggest anthems, it’s important to recognize the unsung heroes—the alternative club tracks heard in smaller venues or accidentally tripped on through Spotify and Apple Music’s algorithmic recommendations.
For those eager to explore even deeper, the critic’s picks from platforms like Beatport and other reputable online dance music magazines offer a treasure trove of electronic masterpieces that might not make it to mainstream playlists but are just as compelling.
Behind the Scenes of Party Favorz
The journey to create this year-end series has been a labor of love. The curation process alone took over two weeks, involving meticulous selection, followed by rounds of editing and remixing. It’s always a challenge to balance personal favorites with tracks that have widespread appeal, but our goal is to reflect the collective pulse of dance floors everywhere.
This year, the song selection process saw a few changes, and we’re already planning further refinements for 2025 to streamline the workflow. Stay tuned for more insights into that evolution in our final set, which drops this weekend!
The hard work, sleepless nights, and countless hours spent mixing are all worth it when we see the impact these sets have on dance music lovers.
Until the next time…ENJOY!

Top Dance Club Songs of the Year Volume I | The Year's Biggest Bangers! [Expanded]

Welcome to the 2024 Top Dance Club Songs of the Year Edition!
This annual wrap-up celebrates the biggest songs in dance and club music across all genres, showcasing the tracks that defined the dance floor in 2024. Among the highlights, the newest trend to capture the scene—Afro House—has sparked discussion. However, let’s set the record straight: Afro House is neither new nor always true to its roots. While one standout track in this year’s lineup genuinely fits the genre, much of what is labeled Afro House has been stripped of its African origins, replaced with slowed-down beats (120 BPM) and polished for mainstream appeal.
This critique isn’t about quality—many of these tracks are excellent—but longtime House aficionados will recognize the percussive elements as familiar territory. Like Nu Disco before it, Afro House is having its moment. Yet with so many producers relying on the same loops and software, the genre risks burnout before it can truly solidify. Credit is due to Rivo, whose rework of Disclosure’s “You and Me” ignited the trend earlier this year. This stellar remix skyrocketed to become one of the biggest electronic tracks of 2024.
John Summit: A Living Legend
John Summit continued his meteoric rise this year with the much-hyped “Shiver.” The track showcases his ability to explore new genres while maintaining his signature dark, ethereal, and moody style. At this point, Summit is reaching Avicii-level stardom, but his continued output of bangers suggests he’s handling the pressure with grace. Here’s hoping he finds the balance between delivering hits and taking time for himself.
PAWSA: From Underground to Mainstream
One of the year's most unexpected breakthroughs was the massive success of PAWSA. Though the London-based DJ has been active since 2014, 2024 was his breakout year. With “Too Cool to Be Careless” and “That Phone Track” dominating the Beatport Top 100 for months, PAWSA’s stripped-down House style became a dancefloor staple. Closing the year with a rework of Adventures of Stevie V’s 1990 classic “Dirty Cash,” he solidified his position at the forefront of modern House music.
Viral Revival: Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Mason vs. Princess Superstar
Two early-2000s tracks found new life in 2024 thanks to their inclusion in the streaming hit Saltburn. Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s “Murder on the Dance Floor” and Mason vs. Princess Superstar’s “Perfect (Exceeder)” went viral on TikTok, sparking interest from a new generation of fans. Ellis-Bextor’s 2001 hit and the 2007 mashup both surged in popularity, proving the timelessness of their dance-floor appeal.
Pop Meets Dance: Sabrina Carpenter’s Moment
The trend of pop stars invading the dancefloor continued this year, led by Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso.” A surprise summer earworm, it catapulted Carpenter into the spotlight after years of middling success. While fans clamored for official remixes, her label opted out, leaving bootleg remixes to fill the gap. Though remixing “Espresso” proved challenging, a handful of fan-made versions stood out, keeping the song buzzing in clubs and online.
Chappell Roan: A Rising Diva
Newcomer Chappell Roan broke through in 2024 with tracks from her 2023 debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. After a slow climb, the infectious “Good Luck, Babe” reached the Top 10, and tracks like “Pink Pony Club,” “Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl,” and “Hot to Go!” became unofficial dance-floor anthems. Roan’s growing gay following has led to countless remixes, cementing her status as a rising diva. Her label would do well to embrace this remix culture—it’s what the fans want.
Charli XCX and Billie Eilish: A Dynamic Duo
Charli XCX returned with “Brat,” a chaotic yet compelling album that took time to resonate. Tracks like “360” and “The Von Dutch” eventually found their groove, adding depth to the year’s dance scene. Charli’s duet with Billie Eilish, “Guess,” became an instant queer anthem. Eilish also had a stellar year, with “Lunch” and “Birds of a Feather” receiving fan-made remixes that elevated their club potential. Together, these artists blurred genre lines while owning their unique spaces in pop and dance music.
Looking Ahead: More to Come
This year in dance music has been so eventful that our wrap-up will span three, possibly four, volumes. We’ve adopted a new methodology for compiling the Top Dance Club Songs, which has expanded the list far beyond expectations. Stay tuned for the next volume dropping Monday, where we’ll dive deeper into 2024’s defining tracks and trends.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

"Lioness" by Swedish House Mafia was originally intended as the opening track for Volume II but didn't mesh well with anything that came after. So, I moved it back to its obvious placement in the mix on Volume I based on key.
