Top Dance Songs of 2021 — Volume 2

The dance music scene didn't change too much from 2020 in that there was no groundbreaking sounds and Future House, Tech House and NuDisco continued to drill their throbbing beats into our collective conscience. 2021 was a year that a new crop of DJs broke through in a big way. Leading the pack is Chicago's John Summit whose deep house grooves have really broken through to the masses. Massive tracks like "Sun Came Up" (with Sofi Tukker), "Better Than This" (with Parachute Youth), "Human" (with Echoes) while still riding high on his 2020 hits "Deep End" and "Thin Line" (with Guz) and remixing several other notable artists has propelled his star into the stratosphere. Another DJ whose on a similar trajectory is Brazil's Vintage Culture (Lukas Rafael Ruiz Hespanhol) who's been around a little bit longer. With one #1 Billboard Dance Club hit "In The DarK" (with Fancy Inc.) in 2019, Vintage Culture has been the go-to for many remix productions for other artists. 2021 saw him remix the summer sleeper "Love Tonight" by Shouse, "Talamanca" by Burns, "Let It Go" by Louie Vega & The Martinez Brothers and Marc E. Bassy, "Paradise" by Meduza and Dermot Kennedy amongst many others. Perhaps the biggest breakout of 2022 was Joel Corry who's quickly filling in the spot that Calvin Harris dominated only a few years ago. After having a #6 in the UK with "Sorry" featuring uncredited vocals by Hayley May in 2019, he followed up with the #4 "Lonely" and the #1 "Head & Heart" with MNEK in 2020, which was also his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the U.S. Corry has remixed countless other acts and 2022 saw him remixing top hits like "Bad Habits" by Ed Sheeran, "Tick Tock" by Clean Bandit (with Mabel and 24KGoldn), "Body" by Megan Thee Stallion, "Out Out" with Jax Jones, Charlie XCX and Saweetie, and the fantastic "Feeling Good" by the late Nina Simone, which was just featured on the 2021 Jingle Electric. He also had one of the biggest dance songs of 2021 "Bed" with David Guetta and Raye. Party Favorz fully expects to be hearing a lot more from both these guys in 2022. The third and final volume of Top Dance Songs of 2021 is in the can and should be dropping this coming Sunday so be sure to follow us to be the first in line when it happens.

Top Dance Songs of 2021 — Volume 1

This set has been reworked by smoothing out transitions, which are better suited for preserving the integrity of this time capsule that was 2021 in dance music. Track listing has remained the same and no other significant changes were made. 2021 has been a rollercoaster of a year. Despite the depressing nature of one of the year's biggest dance hits 'Marea (We've Lost Dancing)' by Fred Again and The Blessed Madonna — dance music remained a constant in our lives. The song presented us with an optimistic outlook wrapped in a solemn deep house groove but truth be told — the hits kept rolling out and so we partied like it's 2099 or at least many of us did while attending super spreader events hosted by big name DJs (one of whom is featured prominently on this year-end list). I'm holding back, can you tell...oh fuck it! Because of my circumstances, I've been fully prepared for the pandemic and the isolation that came with it, while many were having public meltdowns over wearing a mask. Cry me a fucking river if you refuse to get vaccinated and then bitch for having to wait hours on end in the emergency room with a broken foot because they're overflowing with covid patients. Cry me a river if you were fired from your job for refusing to not only protect yourself but your co-workers and family. I have little patience for self-serving science deniers (HELLO MOM) who have been the sole reason the pandemic has stretched into a second year and possibly a third. Seriously, FUCK YOU! Climbs down from soapbox... Now that I got that out of my system, Party Favorz is presenting our annual Top Dance Songs of the Year for 2021 and this series covers all the bases while hitting all the right notes. These are the songs that you hummed along to, danced by yourself to, played in your car on your way to work, or whatever it was you were doing to fill time. Future House, NuDisco and Tech House continued to dominate with Big Room still lurking behind. All the BIG and midling hits are here. Don't be fooled by these phony year-end lists created in Spotify with a bunch of radio edits because these novelists cant touch this shit. Sorry for the rough tone but I guess I have a lot to let out these days. I'm way behind the curve on getting these sets out so I'm dropping the first volume — while keeping my fingers crossed — without the full airing and flushing out of errors or swapping track versions before releasing it. I promised volume one and you're getting it (warts and all). I hate rushing mixes but a series of year-end setbacks have diverted my attention, which is par for the course every year. I WILL be back with our annual New Year blow-out dance party set, which I'm shooting for a Thursday release to ensure our good friends in Australia get it in a timely manner (yes, I do think about everyone outside of the U.S. when scheduling releases). I'll send up the final two sets for the Top Dance Songs of 2021 after the first of the new year. Until then...ENJOY!

Top Dance Songs of 2020 Vol. 3 | Year In Dance Music

We have reached the end of the Top Dance Songs of 2020 with volume 3 and it is glorious! This final volume has a more laidback feel overall and that's because many of the tracks included in these sets are pop hits that were never intended for the dance floor. Nevertheless, the songs are culturally important and resonate with so many people that its inevitable the label either commissions official remixes or aspiring DJ/producers remix the tracks for their own sets.  You'd think that with everything on lockdown, their wouldn't be that much great dance club music but far from it. That's not to say that there was as much during the second half of the year but we still had more than enough to fill our typical three volume year-end series.  If anything positive came out of 2020 — it would be musical styles in popular and dance music have started to give way to more diversity in their offerings. I realize that many of the songs in this series rely heavily on a formulaic Future House sound and the likes of Joel Corry, J Bruus, Colin Jay, Cosmic Dawn, Division 4 & Matt Consola, Ray Isaac, and Charlie Lane have perfected that sound but to their credit — they're serving up dance floor ear worms for tracks that otherwise would never get remixed. Probably one of the most exciting remixes this year was for WAP by DJ Ranny. Yes there were several unofficial remixes out there but none added to the excitement and party nature of the song. When Ranny sent his take over — I was bowled over as I immediately knew he hit a homerun! It's a shame it couldn't have been enjoyed more on dance floors across the globe because it was a surefire winner.  [youtube v="9AWsTQh6DDQ"] I think Dua Lipa really tapped into something with the direction of music by digging into 70's, 80's and 90's Disco, Dance and House music to create a feelgood escape on her sophomore effort "Future Nostalgia." Doja Cat equally did a great job of keeping our heads nodding to a slinky disco beat. Don't be surprised if Madonna finally — after all these years of begging her — goes back to her roots and delivers a carefree album that taps into the energy of her debut album. In fact, I'll lay down good money on it.  [youtube v="pok8H_KF1FA"] In the interim, I hope everyone is enjoying this mega time capsule of the year 2020 with all the good, bad and ugly this year will be known for decades to come. We have one more set to close the year out and I'll do my best to make it one roof-raising floor scorcher for all my party people. Until then...ENJOY!

Top Dance Songs of 2020 Vol. 2 | Year In Dance Music | Massive Update

And the hits keep on rolling out! Party Favorz is back with volume two of the Top Dance Songs of 2020 and this one digs deeper. One of the constraints of 2020 is the pandemic resulted in clubs and venues to shut down. Billboard's Dance Club chart is based on select DJ responses to track and create that chart and without input — the chart was suspended in March. "Love Hangover 2020" by Diana Ross was the last song to top that chart back in March before its demise. Leave it to the queen to have the last word. While I use charts as a basis for compiling my year-end sets — they aren't the final word; rather a guide. Usually, I use a variety of charts that differ significantly like Billboard's Dance Club, Electronic Dance Music and Top 100 charts to compile these sets. This year, I added in Beatport (who no longer compiles an end of year chart for some odd reason), Spotify and YouTube plays as a basis for making my decisions. There is some consistency in that they all tend to agree on the top 10 - 20 songs but differ wildly from there. "Roses" by SAINt JHN (Imanbek Remix) has topped everyone's list. But, "Rain On Me" by Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande, "ily" by surf mesa featuring Emilee, "Ride It." by Regard, "Breaking Me" by Topic & A7S, "Higher Love" by Kygo and Whitney Houston, "Head & Heart" by Joel Corry X MNEK, "Secrets" by Regard & RAYE, and "Don't Stop Now" by Dua Lipa have been fairly consistent on most of their year-end charts. From there, everything wildly differs. That's where YouTube comes into play. I look at the total number of views for videos then cross reference the charts to base my decisions. Everyone can reasonably disagree on the inclusion of certain songs but Party Favorz attempts to hit all the high notes of the year as longs as they had a certain amount of impact on the listener. That and my own personal favorites will always be included. You'll also notice some carryover from 2019. Songs that were massive the previous year that still continued to chart and were in heavy rotation at radio or in the clubs (for awhile) and songs that were released in late 2019 but hadn't peaked until the next year but already had enough impact to be included on both year-end charts. Ultimately, I decide what gets included and frankly, you won't find a more comprehensive compilation for any given year in dance music than Party Favorz. My goal is to provide you a soundtrack to your life at any given moment in time. As a result, I always recommend you download and store these sets because 10 - 20 years from now, you'll be glad you did. Trust me. We have one more set to go before Christmas and I'll be discussing the DJs and producers that had the biggest impact on the dance music scene in 2020 and know — it wasn't anyone nominated for a Grammy (a useless aware if ever there was one). Until the next time...ENJOY! This set had a massive overhaul because I'm anal and was not happy with the final product.  Album: Top Dance Songs of 2020 Volume 2Genre: EDM, House, Dance, DiscoYear: 2020Total Time: 03:01:00 1.

Top Dance Songs of 2020 Vol. 1 | Year In Dance Music | 2nd Update

As Party Favorz winds down 2020 — it's time for our annual Top Dance Songs of the year non-stop dance music set(s). This series features the biggest dance hits of the year and this year really starts to shake things up. Not since 2015 has the year-end dance music chart been this diverse in its offerings. The entire dance music scene is finally beginning to shake loose from it's tight-knit structure to more loosely reflect a wider variety of genres. Nowhere is this evident than the resurgence of Disco. That's not to say that Disco music was the end-all this year but its reemergence hit at the right time. The 1970's and early 80's were considered a time of decadence and escapism from a downtrodden economy, long gas lines, high unemployment and Disco was the perfect escape to ease people's anxiety. Enter stage left Dua Lipa. Its been said that Dua Lipa's sophomore effort "Future Nostalgia" was an iffy proposition for the young singer as it didn't fit in with what was being played at radio. However, she wasn't interested in making another "New Rules" set of songs and just wanted to make people feel good. After a live session was leaked online, she was forced to release the album earlier than the original pushed back timetable due to Covid. The gamble paid off in a BIG way. "Future Nostalgia" received rave reviews (even from this writer) and was an uplifting breath of fresh air at a time when everyone had gone into lockdown. In short, it was just what the doctor ordered. Now she's received a record six nominations for "Don't Start Now" and "Future Nostalgia" — the gamble has paid off. Equally exciting is the continued acceleration of DJ and music producer Purple Disco Machine. Party Favorz has been excited about the German native's work and featured him in a Legacy series because it was evident the man was going places. As usual, I was right because he's literally been all over the place in 2020 and is now branching out. The future looks bright for for PDM and Party Favorz looks forward to the continued promotion of his work. In the next installment, I'll discuss the darker side of the year's biggest dance hits as well as the daunting task of compiling all the tracks that round out this set. I'm in a bit of rushed mood to get these out in time. It took a week to pull everything together and then narrow down the tracks that would be used. However, it took one day putting this first set together and should be smooth sailing from here on out. I'll be back on Saturday with volume 2 of the Top Songs of 2020. Until then...ENJOY! I want to give a HUGE shoutout to Joe S. for his generous donation. While donations are not necessary — they are always needed and much welcome. So a big XOXO to Joe! Juice WRLD's "Come And Go" was removed from this set. Not sure how it got there but it does not belong. The transition after "Say So" by Doja Cat was shortened.
