Celebrate the Holidays with the Biggest Circuit Anthems of the Season!: UPDATED
Party Favorz is hitting you up with a special mid-week treat – our 2023 Holiday Edition series, packed with this season's most electrifying circuit anthems. It's that time of the year when the beats get bolder and the nights longer, perfect for some serious dance floor action. This year's mix is a rollercoaster of emotions and energy, starting with a mind-blowing mashup of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" and Beyoncé's "Summer Renaissance." It's a track that's more than just a song – it's a celebration, a nod to the legends who've shaped our world. Diva classics are getting a fresh circuit anthem makeover too. We're talking about Kim English's "Unspeakable Joy" and Tove Lo's "Habits," reimagined in a way that only true circuit anthems can. And Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone" is hitting the circuit anthem scene with a new energy that's both nostalgic and exhilarating. But wait, there's more – we're talking about diva collaborations that are nothing short of legendary. Dolly Parton and Miley Cyrus on "Wrecking Ball"? Yes, please! And Dolly Party and Beth Sacks giving us their unique spin on the mashup of 4 Non Blondes classic "What's Up" – it's like rediscovering these songs for the first time. Cher, the queen herself, is gracing our holiday circuit anthems lineup with not one, but two tracks. Her "Angels In the Snow" and "DJ Play a Christmas Song" are getting the circuit anthem treatment by Dirty Disco and Guy Scheiman, and they're bound to be the highlight of your holiday season. And for the grand finale, we've got a circuit anthem remix of Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas" that's so good, it'll make leaving the dance floor the hardest goodbye. The AI Factor in Music We can't ignore the significant role AI is playing in the music scene today. It's reached a point where AI-generated voices are singing tracks they might never have touched, including those by artists no longer with us. A prime example in our latest set is the AI rendition of Dua Lipa performing the Wham! and George Michael classic, "Careless Whisper," remixed by Henriq Moraes. The remix is impressive, but it's clear that AI still has a way to go in perfectly capturing an artist's unique vocal style. This phenomenon is widespread online, with music labels actively removing many of these AI-generated tracks from YouTube. The issue? Rights holders aren't seeing the revenue from these streams. This emerging trend is something artists and their representatives will need to address in future contracts. The situation brings to mind certain "Black Mirror" episodes – specifically "Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too" and "Joan Is Awful." In these stories, the characters' likenesses and voices are replicated through CGI and AI, keeping their personas active and profitable long after their deaths, and without their consent. This fictional scenario isn't far from reality, as evidenced by the Screen Actors Guild's (SAG) legal battles with Hollywood studios. SAG aims to prevent the unauthorized use of actors' likenesses, whether they're extras or major stars, without proper compensation. It's a daunting prospect, but it's hard to ignore the potential appeal. Imagine the opportunity to see legends like Prince, Bowie, or Michael Jackson perform once more, even if it's through CGI. The potential for profit is undeniable. At Party Favorz, we're treading carefully with AI-generated content. For now, Dua Lipa's AI rendition doesn't quite hit the mark in emulating her voice. We'll continue to monitor these developments closely, but for the time being, we're focusing on the authentic beats and rhythms that define our style. Keep your ears open for our upcoming Top Dance Songs of 2023, and until then, keep living for the beat of the best circuit anthems around. ENJOY! This episode has been updated with an additional two songs including: Troye Sivan - One Of Your Girls (Dirty Dsico Pure love House Remix) and Tate McRae - Greedy (Dirty Disco Ea...
