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.

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.

For now, immerse yourself in this rich slice of 90s House Music history. Turn up the volume and feel the beats. Look out for volume three this weekend and the final fourth volume next week. Until the next time...ENJOY!

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!

Summer Dreamin’ | Chill Music To Escape By

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.
Sometimes, life is hectic and you just want to tune all the noise out. As an avid reader of news — all news — sets like this allow me to forget just how fucked up the world is.

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!

Ralphi Rosario: The Final Act in a Trilogy of House Music Master

At long last, we've arrived at the grand finale of our tribute to the house music maestro, Ralphi Rosario. Volume 3 of this Legacy series is a kaleidoscopic journey through his remarkable catalog, blending the commercial with the underground in a way that only Rosario can.
When you think of Ralphi Rosario, it's hard not to jump straight to chart-toppers like Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande's "Rain On Me" or the Black Eyed Peas' "RITMO"—both remixed by Rosario and rapturously received over the past year. But, Rosario's influence stretches far beyond these blockbuster hits.
Take, for example, his remix of Cher's "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)," a splashy and effervescent tune that turns every dance floor into a vibrant spectacle. It's a refreshing testament to Rosario's genius: knowing just what a track needs to transform from good to iconic.
Rosario's scope isn't just confined to the latest hits. Remember Barry Manilow's "Copacabana 2005"? Rosario's reimagining breathed new life into this classic, taking us on a sonic vacation to that mythical club where "music and passion were always in fashion."
The collaboration between Rosabel and Jennifer Holliday on "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" is nothing short of iconic in the gay community and beyond. This power-packed anthem, originally from the Broadway musical 'Dreamgirls,' was given a transformative Rosabel remix that thrust it straight back into the spotlight. With Holliday's impassioned vocals layered over Rosabel's rhythmic, high-energy beats, the song becomes more than a show-stopping number; it becomes an emblem of resilience and self-empowerment making one of the all-time favorite gay anthems. This Rosabel remix is not just another track on a playlist; it's an auditory experience that uplifts, unites, and gives voice to the struggles and triumphs of the LGBTQ+ community. The song pulses through dancefloors and Pride parades alike, serving as an enduring testament to Rosabel's and Jennifer Holliday's indelible marks on both music and culture.
Stevie Nicks' "Stand Back," another gem given the Rosario treatment, illuminates the diversity of his repertoire, showing he can adapt his style to bring out the best in rock-flavored dance tunes. Then, he'll pivot effortlessly to soulful classics like Donna Summer's "Hot Stuff," adding a contemporary spark without tarnishing the original's fiery essence.
The intoxicating "F$ck Your Boyfriend (F.U.B.F.)" co-crafted with Frankie Catalano is another cornerstone that showcases Rosario's risk-taking and rebellious spirit. This audacious track has been a guilty pleasure for many and adds to the Rosario enigma.
We'd be amiss not to acknowledge his contributions to more recent pop phenomena. With songs like Erika Jayne's "One Hot Pleasure" or the Pussycat Dolls' anthems "When I Grow Up" and "Don't Cha," Rosario makes sure the dance floor stays packed and the energy never wanes.
So, whether it's Cyndi Lauper's "Same Ol' Fucking Story" or Beyoncé's "Irreplaceable," Rosario’s touch is like Midas — everything he remixes turns to dance floor gold.
In the end, Rosario's impact on LGBTQ+ nightlife and music scenes globally cannot be overstated. His name is synonymous with legendary, and his work—from 1987 to today—has served as the soundtrack for generations. Not acknowledging this would be an unforgivable oversight in the annals of dance music.
And there you have it—the grand finale to our monumental tribute to one of house music's most celebrated artists. Until the next time...ENJOY!

Ralphi Rosario | Legacy Volume 2

Welcome back to the second part of our monumental tribute to Ralphi Rosario, a true luminary in the dance music scene. As we continue to celebrate his expansive career, it's evident that whittling down decades of unparalleled artistry into just three volumes is a Herculean task. So, let's cut right to it, shall we?
Our second volume seamlessly picks up from where the first left off, delivering an  experience that touches on Ralphi's multi-faceted talents. While you can expect the inclusion of last year's mammoth hit "RITMO" by Black Eyed Peas & J Balvin, this compilation also paves the way for surprises. Rest assured, the tune you've all been clamoring for will make its grand appearance in the upcoming Volume 3. Intrigued yet?
Part of the magic of Ralphi Rosario is his dexterity in moving beyond the mainstream. That’s evident when he takes on iconic tracks like "Spice Up Your Life" by the Spice Girls, injecting it with a fresh vitality. On LaTour's "People Are Still Having Sex," Ralphi infuses a pulsating beat that becomes impossible to resist. Then there's his mesmerizing spin on Nelly Furtado's "Promiscuous," which marries a tantalizing rhythm with a sultry vocal, perfect for igniting any dance floor.

And let's not overlook his subterranean gems. When Ralphi gets his hands on tracks like "Rise Up" by Funky Green Dogs or Deborah Cooper's "Real Love," they get transformed into deep, groovy anthems that have lit up underground scenes. Meanwhile, Ralphi's work on Kristine W's "Fly Again" and Jennifer Lopez’s "On The Floor" serve as testaments to his adeptness at bridging the gap between commercial pop and club culture.
Ralphi and his frequent collaborator Rosabel have also made significant contributions to the Latin dance scene, rivaling stalwarts like Pablo Flores and Tony Moran. This series takes a moment to spotlight such work, encapsulating the vibrancy and diversity that only Ralphi and Rosabel can offer.
For those of you who've only been exposed to Ralphi's commercial successes, prepare to uncover a rich tapestry of beats that extend far beyond the popular spectrum. The crux of this second volume lies in its range, presenting a panoramic view of Ralphi Rosario's enduring impact on the dance music scene.
We'll cap off this monumental tribute with Volume 3, set to release this Saturday. Hold onto your dancing shoes; the final act promises to be an electrifying crescendo to an already sensational series.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Ralphi Rosario Legacy Volume 1—The House Music Maestro Who Paved the Way

When it comes to the evolution of house music, few names loom as large as Ralphi Rosario. A founding member of Chicago's trailblazing DJ collective, Hot Mix 5, Rosario helped lay the groundwork for the house music movement while he was still in high school. By 1987, his collaboration with Xaviera Gold on "You Used To Hold Me" had already secured its place as one of the seminal tracks in house music history—a catalyst for seismic shifts on dancefloors everywhere.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tava2f-qrfw
Rosario's creative path took a transformative turn in the nineties when he teamed up with Miami's DJ Abel Aguilera to create Rosabel—a portmanteau of Rosario's surname and Abel's first name. This new venture marked Rosario's evolution from classic house to a more tribal, Latin-infused sound—a stylistic pivot he has honed to near-perfection over the years. As Rosabel, they layered their heritage and various musical influences into electrifying house tracks that became anthems for major artists.
The duo's credentials are impressive, to say the least, racking up five #1 Billboard Dance Club hits. On his own, Rosario has amassed fourteen Top Ten Dance Club hits and two chart-toppers. And let's not even get into his epic list of remixes, which features the crème de la crème of the music industry—from Madonna and Beyoncé to Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande. The overwhelming majority of these artists have already found their way into our Diva Hall of Fame, a testament to Rosario's influence.
Selecting from a staggering 60-plus hours of tracks was a monumental task. I aimed for the most iconic, diva-centric tracks, embracing both the nineties and the new millennium, and including some underground gems that have been queer club mainstays. The final result? Three exhilarating sets amounting to more than 8 hours of sonic bliss, capturing just a fraction of Rosario's immense catalog.
These compilations don't claim to encapsulate Rosario's entire career, but they're a sublime starting point. It's a celebration of a music maestro who has shaped the house music landscape for the past four decades.
So, it's with immense pride and honor that we welcome the indomitable Ralphi Rosario into the Party Favorz Legacy series. Brace yourselves; you're in for an auditory feast.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Winter Edition 2021 | Keep Warm With the Season’s HOTTEST Circuit Anthems!

Hell must have frozen over because Party Favorz has been on a roll pushing out the latest circuit anthems that fuel your winter! Next up is the annual Winter Edition in which the 2021 version does not disappoint.
This set is packed with the latest circuit anthems and tribal beats a mile high and is the perfect replacement for the 2020 Holiday Edition, which has likely worn itself out in your workout regimen.
After spending half the day in Atlanta on Thursday to get our second vaccination or as you call it in the UK "jab," Rick and I were sent home because the state hadn't delivered the treatment until later in the day forcing the doctor's office to cancel all the appointments. They couldn't open up a vile just for us and waste the rest.
So, we're heading back to Atlanta shortly to get the second jab and I'm expecting this is the one that knocks me on my ass as the immune system kicks into high gear — or so I'm told.
I'm working on some belated Legacy editions that are bound to please and should be dropping those this next week. Until then...ENJOY!
I want to give a BIG shoutout to Glenn A. and Joe S. for their generous donations. Joe and Glenn sent me a nice email about their experiences seeing Sylvester in concert. I like those stories so always feel free to share. Let's hold off on any other donations because I'm going to be asking for them shortly to cover hosting costs that expire at the end of March. More on that later.
