Jingle Electric 2020 | Winter’s Biggest Dance Party!
Thursday Dec 10, 2020
Thursday Dec 10, 2020
Party Favorz is on a roll ensuring all of your holiday stress gets worked out by the end of the year. Jingle Electric is our annual final Dance Club set of the year featuring the latest commercial dance hits. However, since releases have slowed down since the summer — I decided to merge elements of the Peak Hour series and a couple of Disco House tracks to flesh it out to what turned out to be one of the most ambitious sets released this year.
It's starts our a bit moody with John Legend's "Wild," which in the capable hands of Meduza doesn't quite give that EPIC drive you'd expect but gives us an idea on how this song can be transformed by more seasoned remixers. It's still good and a solid opener to the simmering build-up that follows.
Scour the list and the hits will stand out to you but it's everything in-between that's the glue holding everything together. There's quite a bit of solid Tech House tracks like Moreno Pezzolato's "Sexy Back" (yes, Justin Timberlake), Technasia & Green Velvet's "Suga," Bingo Players, Felguk & Fafaq's update of the Nomad 1991 House classic "(I Wanna Give You) Devotion," Kevin McKay & Milos Pesovic's "Work It" (yes, Missy Elliot), Afterman's party house update to the 1950's (yup) "Tequila" originally performed by The Champs and Moreno Pezzolato's "Lose My Breath" (yes, Destiny's Child) along with modern updates of Beyonce's "Crazy In Love" and Flo Rida's "Low."
There's so much goodness here that I may have sapped all of the Blow Your Own Horn madness scheduled for release in a few weeks but I'll figure it out.
[youtube v="XnpXYTJL5_0"]
Perhaps one of my favorites in this group is John Summit & Guz's "Thin Line," which updates another 90's House classic "People Hold On" by Coldcut and Lisa Stansfield. This song is apropos for these dark times and with it's signature deep house groove is a perfect fit today's madness.
Even with all this — Party Favorz isn't quite done yet. We've still got a brand-spanking new Disco House scheduled to drop this weekend before launching into our annual Top Dance Club Songs of the Year quickly followed by Blow Your Own Horn. Anyone thinking I'm just skating by needs to get their head adjusted because Party Favorz has become a 60 - 70 hour work week for this one man show.
Weather looks mighty great for this coming weekend in the southeast and I hope things hold up where you're at. I'll be back this weekend. Until then...ENJOY!

Winter Tea Dance Edition 2020 | Get Your Disco On!
Saturday Dec 05, 2020
Saturday Dec 05, 2020
Between 2008 and 2009, Party Favorz created a series called the "T-Dance Edition," which in hindsight hues more towards what is known today as Disco House. You may ask yourself what the difference is between the two so I'm here to set you straight (no pun intended).
Tea Dance used to begin as a brunch party with mimosas and later evolved into a late afternoon Sunday party that went on into the early evening so gay men could get their disco on and still be in bed early enough for work the next morning. Over the years, the tradition had pretty much faded but is still in place in various metropolitan areas around the country. In fact, you'll see Barry Harris frequently playing at many of these events and Houston's Dirty Disco (who own their own club) has also maintained the tradition.
The past few years have brought out more vocal disco house tracks typically associated with these weekly events as opposed to the big room tribal house you normally expect. Because music has evolved, you can still throw in some modern future house tracks that have a younger gay appeal and still keep your audience.
A good example from this set is the AWESOME Matt Consola, Aaron Altemose and Brenda Reed collaboration on "Every Moment." Every thing about this track screams GAY. For this set I closed it out with the house-friendly remix by Larry Peace but the Russ Rich and Andy Allder club mix is equally fantastic as a future house track that maintains all the uplifting elements that make this song so fabulous. Peyton's fantastic "Things Can Only Get Better" is another fine example of this balance as well though I went with the Eric Kupper remix since that's who jumpstarted Peyton's career.
It had been my intention since last year to resurrect this series but I hadn't gotten around to it until now. Since I hadn't been doing my duty of setting aside the tracks that showed up in DJ services, I had to go by memory and pulled some tracks from the past two years that I may have mixed in with my Circuit & Anthems series because at the time — I had no place to put them and ended up leaving a lot a great songs on the cutting room floor.
In this first edition, you will find current songs, updated 70's, 80's, and 90's classics, new songs that sample familiar beats from previous eras and lots and lots of DIVAS. At the moment, the hot song on everyone's radar "Finally" by Shapeshifters and Billy Porter is the only crossover track that will show up on the forthcoming Disco House set to be released in a couple of weeks. Otherwise, the Tea Dance Edition will focus on more gay-friendly vocal house with elements of disco.
I had raved about the output from Nacho Chapado and Ivan Gomez in my last post and there's another area these guys have been targeting with their Disco Gurls moniker, which are club-friendly samples of classic tracks or reimaginations from whole cloth for today's dancefloors. They've taken a very similar track that Almighty has done with their own hi energy remixes and are hitting it out of the ballpark.
Only because Party Favorz understands our audience that I'm confident this set is gonna be massively popular and you can look forward to future releases under this sub-genre. While it can appeal to anyone who enjoys Disco House, it's targeted predominantly at gay men so I'll keep it listed under the Circuit & Anthems genre possibly creating a subgenre for y'all so everything is collected in one easy to locate spot.
In the interim, Party Favorz isn't finished delivering the December party sets. In fact, there are a ton of goodies and stocking stuffers Santa has lined up for the remaining 20 days of Christmas. Until the next time...ENJOY!
Anyone interested in a brief history of the Tea Dance — "The Very Gay and Interesting History of the Almost Lost Tradition of the Sunday Tea Dance" is an excellent read.

Holiday Edition 2020 | The Season’s HOTTEST Circuit Anthems
Thursday Dec 03, 2020
Thursday Dec 03, 2020
Party Favorz knows you boys have been itchin' for a new circuit and anthems set and the Holiday Edition 2020 will quench your withdrawal symptoms.
This set is packed from top to bottom with the latest circuit tribal house including "Prisoner" by Miley Cyrus and Dua Lipa, "Kings & Queens" by Ava Max (a personal favorite that's taken the better part of the year to gain traction), the brand new disco Kylie track "Magic" (not to be confused with the Olivia Newton John classic) that's been given the circuit treatment by Toy Armada, Jason Derulo's "Take You Dancing," Ariana Grande's not so subtle "34 + 35," and Gabby Barrett's "I Hope."
[youtube v="l-HcSpIu9V8"]
We've also got monster classic remakes of "Sweet Dreams" by La Bouche, "Mad World" (the Tears for Fears classic) by Tweaka Turner, a Miley Cyrus and Stevie Nicks mashup of "Midnight" and "Edge of Seventeen," Shania Twain's epic "From This Moment," Khia's early millennium naughty track "My Neck, My Back," and the Laid Back funk classic "White Horse," which had already been reworked by Nacho Capado and Ivan Gomez awhile back but why not.
Speaking of which, I want to give a massive heads up to Nacho and Ivan who have been churning out some serious floor scorchers on their own imprint Guareber Recordings. Whether you're looking for big room tribal house or tea party disco house tracks — their label is churning out some of the finest!
Equally, I want to give a shoutout out to Jose Spinnin Cortes who's been around at least as long as Party Favorz has. His work has grown exponentially and he's laying down some earth moving originals that are making a huge imprint on my senses. Whether in English or Spanish, this guy is at the top of his game.
Santa has a ton of stocking stuffers lined-up for December so be sure to pay close attention to this site because we're only getting started. Party Favorz will be back on Saturday with a companion piece to this set the likes of which hasn't been done in 10 years so be sure to stay tuned. Until then...ENJOY!

X-mas Dance 2020 | Step Into the Holiday Season with a Christmas Dance Mix
Friday Nov 27, 2020
Friday Nov 27, 2020
As an avowed atheist, some of you may wonder why I bother dropping the X-mas Dance mix every year. I grew up in the Catholic church and for all the drama, the piss poor education, the failed attempt to teach creationism alongside actual science for which I questioned everything and was punished by Sister Ursula repeatedly, and the sexual abuse — you would think that I would shun the holiday season but I don't.
I have a love-hate relationship with Christmas in that I have great memories as a kid going to Corpus Christi, TX to visit Momo and Boonpa, aunts, uncles, and cousins, and always enjoyed myself. My grandparents were non-practicing Baptists, alcoholics, and basically hell raisers, which made them a lot of fun to be around. As I got older and after their deaths, the family pretty much splintered and the era of fun and family had come to an end.
By this time, I was in college in north Texas, alone, afraid, HIV+, and wondered when it was my turn to die. That never happened nor was I ever even close. I was new to the whole gay scene and had become great friends with Kurt who also happened to be from South Texas. He was a smart, bitchy queen that could slice through bullshit the minute it walked through the door. Yes, we were friends with benefits but that's about it.
[youtube v="XiSPNaQNGOY"]
I distinctly remember going to meet him for lunch during the season when he worked at Express in the mall and they were playing U2's rendition of "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" over their speaker system in the store. There's a feeling of warmness I can't express that comes over me when I hear that song and think about our long-lost friendship. In fact, Kurt was the last person I stayed with in Dallas before driving nine hours back home for good. It's funny how these small insignificant fleeting moments come rushing back but here I am spilling my guts out.
I've been fortunate throughout my life to be in long-term relationships with frankly, some really great guys including my partner Rick for 18 years. I'm not an easy person to get along with and am appreciative of his patience but even he has his limits and puts me in my place when I need to be taken down. I have fond holiday memories of Tommy, Eddie, and Pete that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
Nevertheless, mood swings during the season are fairly typical for many people and I'm no different. I fall back on the music and the memories that filled me with happiness and sadness during the holidays and try to spread the joy to anyone needing a boost.
That being said — this will definitely be the last episode of this series. There's no sense in trying to top perfection. These songs vary widely from style to tempo which causes my traditional mixing style to be thrown out the door. This time, I can honestly say, "I nailed it."
I don't know what this next year holds for me or Party Favorz. My goal is to give it one final year to release everything on my bucket list before hanging it up. Priorities can change but for now — my goal is to see this through.
I want to wise everyone a very happy holiday season and hope you put this set to good use. It will brighten up even the most cloudy days while adding some positivity to your life. I'll be back next week as I begin to close out 2020. There's a lot to get done between now and then so until then...ENJOY!
This set is dedicated to my long lost friend Kurt Baum. I hope love and happiness has found you wherever you are.

90s House Music Classics: Exploring 1992 – 1993 with Volume 3
Wednesday Nov 25, 2020
Wednesday Nov 25, 2020
Party Favorz is hitting the decks once more with the third and final volume of the Ultimate 90's House Music Classics, spanning the unforgettable years of 1992 to 1993. Fusing Classic House tracks with hidden gems, this set brings a powerful close to a vibrant era of dance music.
Leading the charge is RuPaul's iconic "Supermodel (You Better Work)" (Couture Mix), a track that ignited the fashion world and beyond. Janet Jackson's electrifying "If" (Brothers In Rhythm House Mix) follows, marking a time when pop and house fused into an intoxicating rhythm.
The 90's House Music Classics wouldn't be complete without Martha Wash's commanding vocals on "Carry On" (Masters At Work 12" Dance Mix) or CeCe Peniston's uplifting "We Got A Love Thang" (Silky Mouse Thang). These hits capture the vibrant spirit of Classic House, making hearts soar and feet move on dance floors around the world.
Whitney Houston's empowering anthem "I'm Every Woman" (Clivilles & Cole House Mix) resonates in this collection, while Jody Watley's "I'm The One You Need" (David Morales Extended Club) takes us to a place of pure dance ecstasy.
Madonna's "Deeper And Deeper" (Shep's Classic 12") and Mariah Carey's "Dreamlover" (David Morales Def Club Mix Edit #2) add star power, showcasing the era when pop Divas embraced the house sound, taking it to mainstream heights.
The true essence of the 90's House Music Classics and Classic House shines through in tracks like Bizarre Inc.'s "I'm Gonna Get You" (Original Flavour Mix), Pet Shop Boys' "Go West" (Farley & Heller Fire Island Mix), and Nightcrawlers' infectious "Push The Feeling On" (The Dub Of Doom). Even the edgy TLC finds a home here with "Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg" (Ben Liebrand Club Mix), creating a fusion of soul, style, and unstoppable beats.
This final volume of 90's House Music Classics is more than a nostalgic trip; it's a celebration of Classic House and its transformative power. Every beat, every mix echoes the spirit of a time when dance floors were sanctuaries, and music was the universal language. Party Favorz invites you to relive these memories and feel the passion of the 90's all over again.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

90s House Music Classics: A Journey Through 1992 – 1993 Volume 2
Sunday Nov 22, 2020
Sunday Nov 22, 2020
Get ready to groove as Party Favorz dishes out the second volume of 90s House Music Classics, covering the magical years of 1992 to 1993. This volume is packed with dance floor heat, chart-toppers, and timeless sensations that can awaken any dance enthusiast's soul.
Kicking things off with Chaka Khan's string-infused Garage Mix of "Love You All My Lifetime," this set pays homage to the Diva Hall of Fame inductees. Martha Wash follows suit with "Give It To You" (Momo's Klub Mix), a testament to her fresh success following collaborations with Black Box and C + C Music Factory.
The journey continues with chart-toppers from Lil' Louis, like "Club Lonely" and the soul-stirring "Saved My Life" featuring the fabulous Joi Cardwell. The spotlight then shifts to newcomers who dominated the charts such as Saint Etienne's "Nothing Can Stop Us," Opus III's "It's A Fine Day," Sunscreem's "Love U More" (Farley & Heller Heavy Club Mix), and Blue Pearl's "[Can You] Feel the Passion."
One track that stands tall in this volume is "It's Gonna Be A Lovely Day" by The S.O.U.L. S.Y.S.T.E.M., a global dance sensation stemming from C + C Music Factory and gracing the famed "Bodyguard" soundtrack. The David Morales Def Mix of "I'll Be Your Friend" by Robert Owens, Maurice's Club Mix of "Hey Mr. D.J." by Zhane, and the Union City Mix of "The New Anthem" by Reel 2 Real featuring Erick More are just a few of the tunes that make this collection shine.
These 90s House Music Classics reflect a time when DJs were experimenting with transitions, moving away from the middle breaks popular in the 80s. It's a detail that only adds to the charm of this collection, capturing a unique musical moment in time.
The flawless mixing, epic music, and painstaking remastering of tracks like the Kenlou B Boy Mix of "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" by Saint Etienne and David Morales' 12" Dance Mix of Pet Shop Boys' "Where The Streets Have No Name" (I Can't Take My Eyes Off You) showcase why these sets are so thrilling.
While we await the final set of this two-year exploration, Party Favorz assures that this musical escape is here to help you through life's challenges. Let the melodies be that unchanging constant, bringing light to the tunnel.

The early nineties were a groundbreaking era in House music, featuring superstar DJs like Frankie Knuckles, David Morales, Junior Vasquez, and Masters At Work. They shared the spotlight with emerging names like StoneBridge, who brought life to Robin S.'s "Show Me Love," and MK (Marc Kinchen), known for modern floor-scorchers like "Always" with Alana.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmzGJwe9O-E
This rich decade in music witnessed the evolution of the classic House sound. The lively Hooj Mix of "Don't You Want Me" by Felix and the Italian Piano Remix of "Everybody's Free (To Feel Good)" by Rozalla resonate with the unmistakable 90s vibe. Sub-genres like Trance and Eurodance began to emerge, with House music's enduring influence on 80s artists who carried on in the 90s like the David Morales Mix of "Walking On Broken Glass" by Annie Lennox.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2_IFxm7Vqg
Whether it's the Developed Arrested Mix of "Dreams" by Gabrielle or the timeless Eurodance with House music influences that merged Hip Hop on "Rhythm Is A Dancer," by Snap! these 90s House music classics capture an era that transcends time. They are part of a musical lineage that has shaped today's dance scene. Let the deep sounds of classic House from the early nineties wash over you. Truly, the dance floor has never felt so inviting.

CELEBRATE 2021!!! | The Post Election Dance Celebration
Sunday Nov 08, 2020
Sunday Nov 08, 2020
Party Favorz has been up all night working out a party mix to celebrate the end of fascism. The lies, the graft, the shredding of the Constitution, the misogyny, the xenophobia, the racism, the homophobia, the ableism, the lack of intellectual curiosity, and the denial of science could no longer sustain themselves before the American people had the last word.
We still have more work to do in my home state of Georgia where we have two Senators that are in a run-off on January 5th. We must get Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock elected to give Joe Biden a running start to enact the legislation we voted him in for. With a Supreme Court conservative majority — they're teeing up the lawsuits that will affect everything from healthcare to LGBTQ rights.
For those that don't understand our fucked-up electoral system — Republicans still have a path to override the will of the people. I'm not even going to entertain it because that would guarantee an outright civil war.
For now, I'm here for the win and just want to celebrate the record number of people who came out to vote. Celebrate 2021 consists of six decades of party tracks remixed for today's dancefloor. There's something for everyone here. My only regret was having to leave so many great songs on the cutting room floor before this got out of hand. This set is being offered for free because I want everyone to enjoy the spoils of victory. ENJOY!
This was done in one take and I haven't had the time to preview it. If there are any errors — let me know and I'll fix them.

HW20 | The Hottest Dance Club Treats
Friday Oct 30, 2020
Friday Oct 30, 2020
Party Favorz is back with the annual HW20 dance club edition featuring all treats and no tricks.
This set is jam-packed with EDM, House Music, Disco House, Bootlegs, and Mashups with just enough spooky fun elements to fulfill its title.
The Spofitication of dance music
I have to say that it's becoming more difficult to compile these commercial dance sets since the shutdown of venues across the nation. Typically I rely on a variety of factors to create these sets. First, I look at Billboard's Dance Club charts to see what other DJs across the country are laying down, I look at Beatport and Traxsource charts to see where underground and disco tracks are crossing over, I peruse the Billboard Top 100 for those commercial hits that weren't necessarily created for the dancefloor but some enterprising up and coming DJ has generated a masterful bootleg of, I look at YouTube music trends and of course, I look at the DJ services internal charts to see what are the hottest tracks everyone is jumping on before they go wide scale.
Two other elements are my internal gut feeling about a song, which comprises about a 1/3 of all tracks included in a set, and the Billboard Electronic Dance Music chart, which I have a love/hate relationship with. Much like the Billboard Top 100, this chart's rankings are heavily weighted towards streaming service plays form Spotify and Apple Music. The rest is based on sales and radio play both of which carry less weight. This has resulted in two things:
1) Many artists just release single after single generating buzz, play, and revenue while forgoing the traditional album release. In fact, boutique labels have developed a whole business model around this and many of these stellar tracks never make it into the DJ pool or Beatport.
2) Bigger artists still put out albums because there's still money in sales both physical and non-physical. At the same time, they game the system by dropping everything at once flooding these charts with mediocre songs and a couple of stellar ones that may or may not even reach the top of those charts but still generates significant amounts of revenue for them. We've seen it with Drake and Chainsmokers. In particular, Chainsmokers are still a big draw but by dumping everything all at once, they end up with 12 songs on the Electronic Dance Music chart even though none are massive hits. It dilutes the chart and drowns stellar songs by new artists that struggle to break through.
The other end of this is that the songs on this chart rarely get remixes unless someone creates a bootleg. In fact, many aren't really dance songs at all so the entire chart is a bit of a mystery to me. After all, everything today is quantifiably Electronic Dance Music. The two biggest breakthroughs of 2020 on the chart that had crossover success are Imanbek's remix of Saint Jhn's "Roses" and Surfa Mesa's "ily (i love you baby)" — the latter generating stellar Future House remixes, which helped propel the song further. But, these are the exception and not the rule.
As such, most of these songs (and even the danceable ones) are more like radio edits and never get remixes. They're geared toward the Spotification of dance music for radio playback.
Dance club music is on lockdown
Because labels are commissioning fewer and fewer remixes as a result of the pandemic and the reason the Dance Club chart is shut down (because it relies on DJ feedback based on live plays) it makes sense for them to focus on where they're going to get the biggest return on their investment. A good example of this is Ariana Grande's "Position." Her new single is okay and is likely a loss lead for her new album being released today. That's never stopped her label from investing in a boatload of remixes for her releases but as of yet — there aren't any except for a few poorly executed bootlegs.
On the opposite end, Ava Max's label released a whole new set of remixes for the stellar "Kings & Queens,

RAGE | Peak Hour Stress Relief
Sunday Oct 25, 2020
Sunday Oct 25, 2020
With only 9 days left until the elections — Party Favorz is offering up RAGE the next episode in Peak Hour mayhem! I find that the harder the better when I need to let it out without going off on everyone else.
Initially, this set was to be posted yesterday but due to some issues with the new PWA pounding our servers that caused some massive memory issues — the stellar original post couldn't be saved. Since I'm in no mood to recreate the original — may I suggest you just download, hit play, and let the music do the rest?
Don't be fooled by the first track, which is more House Music than anything (even though it's listed as Tech House) because right after, everything heats up and stays that way until you get to the end with a new rework of the 90's Robert Miles Trance Classic "Children" to close it out.
I've already compiled a new Dance Club for release next week and will then start work on the next two years (1992 - 1993) of The Ultimate 90's House Music Classics series for November release.
I hope everyone has a great weekend...until the next time...ENJOY!

Let’s Go Dancin’ | Cosmopolitan Dance Music
Saturday Oct 17, 2020
Saturday Oct 17, 2020
As Party Favorz gears up to enhance your music experience with our soon-to-launch standalone app, let's pivot for a moment and delve into the groove. Our latest set, "Let's Go Dancin'," showcases a sophisticated yet relaxed vibe that could easily become the backdrop of an upscale bar where the martinis flow just as smoothly as the conversations.
A standout track in this collection is "Found Love" by Double Dee and Dany, a 1990 chart-topper which also appeared on our Ultimate 90’s House Music Classics collection. David Penn reimagines this timeless classic with a 2020 touch, while staying reverent to the original. And let's not overlook the other gems: "One Man" by Chanelle & Eric Kupper, "Wa Wa Wesss" by Gilgamesh & Jim West, and "Breakaway" by Grant Nelson all contribute to a set that's nothing short of disco ecstasy.
Initially, there were concerns about not having enough material, but after multiple listens, it's clear those worries were unfounded. Clocking in at three solid hours, "Let's Go Dancin'" offers up a flawless flow of House, Jackin' House, NuDisco, and Disco House beats that'll resonate with any aficionado of the genre.
Looking ahead, our next Peak Hour set is right around the corner, followed by the eagerly awaited HW20 Halloween set. Unfortunately, Circuit Tribal House aficionados will have to wait a little longer; there's not enough fresh content in that sub-genre to justify a new set right now.
As the weather in the southeast keeps us guessing, fluctuating between fall vibes and fleeting warmth, we're all for embracing whatever sunshine comes our way. So, while you wait for your Party Favorz app notifications and new episodes, lose yourself in the carefully crafted rhythms of "Let's Go Dancin'."
So grab your favorite drink, and let's go dancin' to some chilled yet invigorating beats. We're pretty confident that this set will leave you more than satisfied. Until the next time...ENJOY!

Exploring 90s House Music Classics 1988 – 1991, Volume 3
Thursday Oct 15, 2020
Thursday Oct 15, 2020
With the arrival of Volume 3, we conclude our vibrant journey through the ultimate 90s House music classics spanning from 1988 to 1991, and it's nothing short of sensational!
This set presents the magic of Marshall Jefferson's "Move Your Body (The House Music Anthem)" that rocked the charts anew in 2020, and Lisa Stansfield's timeless "People Hold On," whose Dirty Scoundrels remix ignited the club scene years later. They perfectly encapsulate the unique blend of creativity, innovation, and rhythm that defines the ultimate 90s House music classics.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAR8cq5Bl94
In this anthology, the celebrated icons share space with underground gems, representing the House music scene's multifaceted charm. From the erotic Acid House of Lil' Louis' "French Kiss" to Ralphi Rosario's 80's underground smash "You Used To Hold Me," featuring the unforgettable monologue by Xavier Gold, these tracks remind us why the ultimate 90s House music classics continue to reverberate through contemporary dance floors. The first time I heard "French Kiss" was when I was cruising the Mining Company bar in Dallas and the DJ dropped this song. It completely blew my mind because it was not like anything else out at the time. The slow down in the middle with the female groans before slowly building back up into its throbbing beats was out of this world.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgOsg5vhwFY
Who can resist Crystal Waters' "Gypsy Woman," with its memorable Basement Boy's Strip To The Bone Mix, or the David Morales Classic Mix of Shawn Christopher's "Another Sleepless Night"? Whether it's Frankie Knuckles' ethereal "The Whistle Song" or catchy one-offs like Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy," these 90s House music classics offer something for every fan of the genre. I remember dancing the night away to Crystal Waters' "Gypsy Woman" in my first visit to New York City. That song is forever etched in my memory.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qR87PA8e_aA
The breadth and depth of the classics, from crossover hits to essential club tracks, are astonishing. Songs like Black Box's "Everybody Everybody" and Inner City's "Good Life (Magic Juan's Remix)" not only set the dance floor on fire but continue to influence today's musical panorama. These tracks have been tapped, flipped, and revered, testifying to the enduring power of the original ultimate 90s House music classics. There's a story behind "Good Life" that I won't recount here lest I get in trouble but it's a worthy one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztd__xu1YGA
My enthusiasm might shine through when discussing these remarkable dance cuts. It's not just about the beats; it's about the history, evolution, and how these classics resonate with today's audience. The series might be coming to an end, but the story of House music and its incredible influence lives on.
Get ready for more as we plan to stagger releases in two-year sets over the coming months. We invite you to savor and appreciate the ultimate 90s House music classics, a timeless testament to the rhythm that never fades.
Until the next time...ENJOY!
Donate and keep the party going!
