Summer Leap 2021 | Get a Head Start on Future Summer Hits! | Fixed

Welcome to the 2021 edition of Summer Leap where Party Favorz anticipates some of the biggest dance club hits heading into the hotter months. It's the time for pool parties, the beach and a break from all of life's issues. This summer is a bigger deal only because many parts of the world are coming out of lockdown with more people getting vaccinated making it safer to go out and be amongst friends and (strangers).
Sadly, dance music has a bit static with much of the commercial releases sounding the same and lacking in originality. That's not to say there aren't several great gems hidden amongst this 62 song set because there are plenty. This isn't anything new and I bitched about the same thing in 2015 when all the rave was "Deep House," which has gone back to its roots and turned into "Future House," which is now more like "Electro House" and is now just labeled Dance. The labels may change but the originality has stayed flat.
Some of the better tunes (especially on the excellent Spring Break 2021), rely on past treasures by sampling the past while creating all new songs for the current generation of party-goers. There's not quite as much lately and that has to do with folks losing inspiration or holding back their work until everything fully opens up. There is one great remix by Purple Disco Machine that's about to drop on the 28th for a new song that's just okay but the remix takes it to another level. I'm expecting this song to explode this summer. I wont' say what it is but it will make an appearance on the 2021 Gay Anthems For a New Generation and the annual Catch-Up towards the end of June.
Much of what's contained in Disco House and Peak Hour is beginning to bleed into commercial dance, which is fine. It needs the shakeup but don't worry — that's not going to effect those series. Ultimately, diversity is key to making a great mix but I'm only as good as the musical output at any given moment.
I do want to mention that the app I was so proud of which had been working flawlessly through the spring is no longer working. It relies on the Microsoft scripts and there are several issues with it at the moment that are not getting addressed in their forums on Github. Ultimately, I'll have to school myself on hosting it myself for better reliability but since I'm self-taught, that could take awhile. I'll let everyone know once something is reliably in place.
We still have a brand new Disco House and Circuit & Anthems releases scheduled for the coming week so be sure to subscribe or follow for the latest updates. Until then...ENJOY!

The kaleidoscopic landscape of Classic House Tracks! — 1996 – 1997 Volume 4

Volume four of the Ultimate 90's House Classics is more than a mere compilation; it's a vibrant narrative that paints the metamorphosis of Classic House Tracks into something more eclectic and robust. This final installment doesn't just shine a spotlight on a golden era of dance music; it showcases how the genre found new directions and reached new audiences.
As we dive into the sounds of the late 90s, we encounter the bold explorations of Club 69 (a.k.a. Peter Rauhofer). Known for his sexy House Music songs catering to the gay community, Club 69 rapidly evolved into a new progressive sphere. The remixes like Funky Green Dogs' "Fired Up" and Kevin Aviance's "Din Da Da" not only hit big but set dance floors ablaze, turning peak hour into an electrifying experience.
Simultaneously, names like Tony Moran, Junior Vasquez, Victor Calderone, Ralphi Rosario, and Hex Hector redefined the scene, bringing in a more accessible sound without losing the soul of House. The Classic House Tracks were no longer confined to niche clubs but were resonating with the mainstream, marking the start of a trend that would shape dancefloors for years to come.
The era wasn't just about the music; it was about the DJs becoming stars, far beyond the two turntables and a microphone. Clive Davis of Arista records played a significant role in this phenomenon. Recognizing the potential of dance in the pop landscape, Davis pushed artists like Deborah Cox into realms of R&B and Dance, making them household names.
As the creators of Party Favorz, our connection with House Music transcends the genres. From Trash Disco, 80's Dance, Eurodance, and Trance, our love is profound, but House Music holds a special place. The Ultimate 90's House Classics series is an emblem of this love, reflecting a comprehensive history of the genre, even though it's impossible to encapsulate everything deserving of recognition.
The series is far from over, with 1998 - 1999 set to revive fond memories. Expect more classic house tracks in the summer or early fall. Additionally, the Ultimate Trance series is on the horizon, aiming to wrap up the year with a bang.
Some notable tracks that embody the spirit of this volume include:
Toni Braxton's "I Don't Want To," elegantly remixed by Franki Knuckles.
Me'Shell NdegeOcello's enigmatic "Who Is He And What Is He To You" with Danny Tengalia's N.Y.D.C. Mix.
Ruffneck featuring with Yavahn on "Move Your Body," graced by the Mousse T.'s Peppermint remix.
Patti LaBelle's "When You Talk About Love," masterfully enhanced by Hex Hector's club mix.
Cher's mesmerizing "One By One," taken to new heights by the Junior Vasquez remix.
And the list goes on, capturing the essence of 90s Dance Floor Hits and classic House tracks, each one a unique gem in the treasure trove of House Music.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

The Evolution of House Music: Ultimate 90’s House Classics 1996 – 1997 Vol. 3

The evolution of House music is a fascinating journey through time and sound. It's a story told by the beats and rhythms that have ignited dance floors for generations. Today, we turn back the pages to a pivotal chapter in this story - the Ultimate 90's House Classics [1996-1997] Volume 3.
At Party Favorz, our heart beats in unison with the pulsating rhythm of House music. We're not just listeners; we're historians, curators, and most importantly, lovers of this ever-changing genre. Our commitment to preserving and celebrating the roots of dance music is evident in every mix, every track, and every beat.
This volume takes you back to a time when the Tony Moran remix of Whitney Houston's "Step By Step" which was a defining anthem, and Danny Tengalia's remix of Vanessa Daou's "Sunday Afternoons" which was a Sunday staple and Tea Dance favorite in clubs around the world. The Ultimate 90's House Classics era was a golden age for House music, and this collection brings it to life once again.
Remember when Celine Dion's powerful vocals in the Tony Moran remix of "It's All Coming Back To Me Now" packed the dance floors with all the drama queens doing their best Celine impersonation? Or when Funky Green Dogs got everyone "Fired Up!" with Club 69's Future Mix? These were moments that marked milestones in the evolution of House music.
With artists like Deborah Cox giving life to tracks like "Things Just Ain't The Same" remixed by Hex Hector and Todd Terry teaming up with Martha Wash & Jocelyn Brown for the energetic "Keep On Jumpin", the Ultimate 90's House Classics were not only songs but embodiments of an era.
The Ultimate 90's House Classics volume gives you more than just a playlist; it offers a window into a time when music was a unifying force, a common language spoken by all who stepped onto the dance floor. This collection is a celebration of the era that laid the groundwork for today's dance music landscape.
Party Favorz is proud to be part of this musical journey, to be the voice that keeps the memories alive and the beats pumping. Whether you lived it or are discovering it for the first time, the evolution of House music is a tale worth telling, a beat worth dancing to.
As we prepare for the next installment, join us in reliving these unforgettable moments. Let the songs of Mariah Carey, Ultra Nate, Sandy B, and the Blackout Allstars move you, inspire you, and remind you of a time when House was not just a genre but a movement.
Stay tuned for more memories, more music, and more of the Ultimate 90's House Classics as we continue to explore the evolution of House music. Until then...ENJOY!

Exploring 90s House Music Classics 1996-1997 Volume 2

The 90s were a vibrant time for dance music, especially House. Early in the decade, genres like Freestyle, Breakbeat, Trip Hop, Hip Hop, and Eurodance were offshoots that spun into their own categories, but it's the latter half of the nineties that witnessed a dramatic shift in the 90s House Music landscape.
Classic House continued to pulsate on dance floors, yet there was a thirst for innovation. The sound progressively transformed, integrating electronic and tribal beats, igniting a new club culture. Renowned names like Club 69 (Peter Rauhofer), Thunderpuss, Victor Calderone, Tony Moran, Hex Hector, Jonathan Peters, Soul Solution, and more began to define this era. Junior Vasquez's seamless transition between commercial House and big tribal beats became an emblematic representation of the time.
An example of this transition was the Soul Solution and Hex Hector remix of Toni Braxton's "Un-Break My Heart." This mix shook the dance floor, making record labels turn heads, even though the exceptional Frankie Knuckles version was featured in volume one of this series.
This new breed of 90s Dance Floor Hits began to take over this four-volume collection, reaching a peak in 1998-1999. The period also birthed a tougher house sound through Full Intention, StoneBridge, Love To Infinity, and the signature garage house style of Armand Van Helden.
Trance, an underground phenomenon bubbling in the UK during the early nineties, made its way to the US, turning many house DJs like Rollo & Sister Bliss, Perfecto, Sash!, and BT into Trance legends.
Volume two invites you to explore this fascinating evolution. It includes the Franktified Club Mix of Chaka Khan's "Never Miss The Water," the StoneBridge Mix of Hannah Jones's "No One Can Love You More Than Me," the Deep Zone Club Mix of "Remember Me" by The Blue Boy, and more.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cC4yjfArS9c
The Love To Infinity's Extended Club Mix of Diana King's "I Say A Little Prayer," Pulse's "The Lover That You Are" with Hex Hector & Soul Solution Club Mix, Grace's "Not Over Yet" with Perfecto Mix, and Ace Of Base's "Beautiful Life" with Vission & Lorimer Club Mix showcase the diverse sounds that shaped this era.

90s House Music Dance Floor Nostalgia: [1996 – 1997] Volume 1

The late 90s heralded an era in House music filled with innovation, rhythm, and unforgettable melodies. The Ultimate 90's House Classics [1996 - 1997] Volume 1 is a treasure trove of tracks that perfectly encapsulate a time when dance floors were alive with energy, creativity, and boundless passion.
These are not just songs but anthems that defined a generation. Starting with the soulful resonance of Lisa Stansfield's "Never, Never Gonna Give You Up" in Mark!'s Transparent Vocal mix, this collection introduces listeners to a magical time in 90s House Music. The Classic Paradise Mix of Pet Shop Boys' "Before" resonates with pure nostalgia.
Volume 1 navigates the world of beats and rhythms with Daft Punk's iconic "Around The World" in the Kenlou Mix, a track that has become synonymous with innovative electronica. Todd Terry, along with Martha Wash & Jocelyn Brown, adds flavor to the set with "Something Going On", a track that instantly takes you back to the heart of the dance floor.
Happy Clappers' optimistic "I Believe" and Duke's enamoring "So In Love With You" with Full Intention Mix are juxtaposed brilliantly. They create an atmosphere that's both uplifting and reminiscent of love-filled nights under the glittering disco ball.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkFMc9fDB4k
David Morales and The Bad Yard Club take us on a rhythmic journey with "In De Ghetto," featuring Crystal Waters & Delta. The collection further explores club anthems with the KLM Vocal Mix of Phunky Phantom's "Get Up Stand Up" and Junior Vasquez' Arena Anthem Mix of Livin' Joy's "Don't Stop Movin'."
90s Dance Floor Hits wouldn't be complete without the soul-stirring voices of Kristine W with "One More Try", Jennifer Holliday's powerful "No Frills Love" in Tony Moran's Anthem Mix, and Byron Stingily's "Get Up (Everybody)" in Mousse T.'s Extended Mix.
The tender "How Do I Live" by Leann Rimes in Mr. Mig Remix Club Mix and Amber's "One More Night" in the Hani Remix are a perfect segue to the end of this illustrious collection, crowned with Alison Limerick's legendary "Where Love Lives '96" in Dancing Divaz Club Mix.
This collection is more than a walk down memory lane; it's a celebration of an era where the essence of House music was shaped and honed. It's a tribute to the DJs, the artists, and the remixers who gave us these timeless classics.
So, go ahead and dive into this rich slice of 90 House Music history. Let the beats move you, and the melodies take you back. Embrace the nostalgia and dance like no one's watching. Until the next time...ENJOY!

Spring Edition 2021 | Feel the BURN with the Hottest Circuit Anthems for Spring!

Party Favorz is back with our annual Spring Edition featuring the hottest circuit anthems for what is shaping up to be one HOT summer!
While this set had been in the can for just over a week — I was battling issues from all directions playing whack a mole with every new issue that kept popping up. This kept me busy spending most of my days on the phone trying to straighten out other people's bullshit.
I had decided to drop one song from the set and replace another with a different version and needed to temper another track that was pitched too high. This appears to be something that several DJs have been doing lately. That is, reducing the bass and pushing the mid and highs up while overcompressing the song. Since I test all my mixes out on Bluetooth headphones, home speaker system and in my car — this new mastering by certain DJs is shrill and hurts the living shit out of my ears.
I don't know the purpose of this new technique but it's driving my batshit crazy. As I find them, I go back and temper the highs and add a gentle boost to the bass so it doesn't sound like it's being squeezed out of a tin can.
This is where I ran into some problems on one such song.  The Jace M & Toy Armada remix of "We Are," which is an outstanding track by Dan Slater & Zoë Badwi. For some strange reason, the song wouldn't load in my editor. I've never had this problem before and kept getting the error message "the path to file is not specified" by Windows.
I looked it up and went through all of the troubleshooting steps for this error (which is apparently common but new to me). I was getting help on the WindowsTen forum but nothing was working. Finally, I bit the bullet and performed a clean install of the operating system and the problem persisted. It was only then that I decided to load a different song only to find it worked. So, the issue was specific to this one song but why?
After looking at the title — I changed the 'ë' in Zoe's name to just 'e' and presto! That was the issue. The editor couldn't read the special character, which makes no sense. Why? Because it would load 'Tiësto' that uses the same diaeresis but one loads and the other does not. I'm thinking that Tiësto may use a special character for input where Zoë is input using the language instructions from the keyboard, where my keyboard layout is in English. Maybe...I can't say for certain.
Regardless, I wasted two entire days just on this issue alone. The fact that I'm expending so much energy telling y'all about it should allude to how pissed I was over this one problem. I couldn't just drop the song because it really is stellar. Not only that, it opened up the set. Grrr.
The good news is that I've really delivered a circuit and anthem set that will blow the roof off any party. There's enough tribalism here to fuel your workouts or just outright party.
So, without further ado, I bring you the Spring Edition 2021. ENJOY!

It's been quite a while since Party Favorz dropped our last chill set but I had been throwing songs into a folder for awhile now and took a peak before deciding it was time to create a new set of laidback luxury that just washes over you while keeping your worries at bay.

Let’s Go Dancing | Peak Hour Mayhem!

Party Favorz is back with our latest Peak Hour set featuring the biggest Tech House, Bass House and Electro House tunes currently on our radar with "Let's Go Dancing."
This set will fuel your late night parties and is perfect for a intense workout. While there are few surprises here — there are a few tracks that come out of leftfield. Most notable of these is The Sponges "Jerry Brain." The track is considered Bass House but is really more of a Glitch Funk track that jerks you back and forth with a unexpected funky twist that's hard to put into words. I'm fairly confident in stating that there's no other song like it in this set. By infusing modern synths, bass with funky house — The Sponges have set the bar for the future of electronic music.
Honestly, I haven't been this excited about a single song since DJ Kid Stretch's breakbeat classic "Get Away" as remixed by Basement Freaks. I may even resurrect in a future set because that song is fresh as when it was first released.
I may end up taking a deep dive to see who else is recreating fresh sounds that aren't getting enough attention because I'm banking there's a lot out there. Stay tuned to see what I turn up at a later date...
Until then ENJOY!

Spring Break 2021 | Dance Club Party Anthems!

Typically Spring Break (for me at least) came in late March and sometimes early April depending on the calendar year — it appears that many folks already had theirs. So, consider this a day late and a dollar short but we're limited by the amount of quality dance promos showing up in our inbox. Frankly, the wait was worth it because this set kicks ass!
Spring Break 2021 is a combination of smoking hot tracks that have been riding high since February, classics tracks that have been updated for today's dance scene and several new entries trying to claim their spot on your phone heading into summer. With vaccination rollouts in full force — Party Favorz is anticipating a boom of new post-pandemic tracks to rollout by Summer (fingers crossed). That being said — our goal is to please and this set will definitely provide some sense of normalcy.
Yes, it really is that good.
Just so y'all know — I'm doing my  best to keep everyone in the zone and focused on better days ahead. Rick and I got our second vaccination in late February but our routine has remained the same. To be honest, he needs to get his ass back to work outside of home because no love in the world can sustain itself in close proximity 24/7. Just sayin.
I've already compiled the set list for a brand new Peak Hour set, which will be the perfect companion piece to Spring Break 2021 and will drop next week. That will be followed by the much-delayed Spring Edition 2021 featuring the hottest circuit anthems the following week. Until then...ENJOY!

Where The Happy People Go | Get Down To The Latest Disco House

Party Favorz is back with our latest Disco House offering "Where the Happy People Go."
This set kicks off with some powerhouse disco tracks that will burn the house down. It then transitions into more cosmopolitan disco (which appears be the rage at the moment) before moving into some great vocal house with the awesomeness of Kathy Brown, Siedah Garrett, The Fog, and St. Jude before closing out with Mark White's funkalicious "Supreme."
The mix is actually my first draft as I usually knock out the mix first and then go back and add/subtracts songs, make edits or move things around for better flow on the final mix. However, I was working on two sets at once and accidentally overwrote this set with the other causing me to lose everything.
In the 14-year span of Party Favorz, this has only happened once before. After listening to this set a few times — I can honestly say that I'm happy with the first draft.
I have a special Diva Hall of Fame inductee scheduled to drop for tomorrow. This diva's induction is long overdue and is only for hardcore fans (like myself) which honors this woman's tireless work in the music industry. More on that tomorrow.
Until then...ENJOY!

Spring T-Dance 2021 | Spring Forward with the Latest Happy House & Dance Classics

It may still be a bit nippy outside but today is the first day of spring and I can't think of any better way to celebrate it than with a Tea Dance set.
Lets face it, 2020 was a disaster and 2021 is only beginning to resemble a slight ounce of a return to normalcy. Then again, that all depends on where you live. If you're in a science denying state that values profit over lives — then nothing has really changed for you.
Meanwhile, everyone else who follows the science, wears masks in public while social distancing and gets vaccinated as soon as it's available have been the people taking one for the team. I won't get bogged down into the specifics nor am I here to lecture but let's just say it ain't over no matter how badly you tell yourself otherwise (even after vaccination) but I digress.
Our duty is to put you in a happy mood and get you ready for what ultimately awaits on the other side of this thing.
I do want to mention that the opening song is not new, nor is it an updated version of the song. "If You Leave Me Now" by Veronica Sales (not the Chicago classic) just showed up while perusing JunoDownload for additional Disco House tracks to fill out the next set.
It turns out, the song was recently made available to download services but is originally from 1992. That's about all I know of the song because it was never a hit in the states.
Having never heard the song before and after previewing it – I knew I had to include it in this set. The song bleeds GAY from every vocal to every beat! If you've never heard it before, you're in for a campy treat.
The rest of the set is either new tracks or reworked classics by some of our favorite DJs like Barry Harris, Dirty Disco, Block & Crown, Division 4 and Jet Boot Jack. It blends tracks from the 70s, 80s, 90s to current day and is a masterful work of happy dance music. If this doesn't put a smile on your face — nothing will.
I've got a new Disco House as a companion piece to this set going up soon, our annual Spring Break set that's gonna be different than the standard commercial dance releases and hopefully (fingers crossed) a long overdue Diva Hall of Fame entry.
In fact, the April and May calendar release schedule is all filled up. Technically, June as well because I had been fretting on what to do for Gay Pride month but I've got it all figured out.
Until the next time... ENJOY!
