Top Dance Songs of 2020 Volume 3

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 it's 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, there 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 earworms 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 home run! It's a shame it couldn't have been enjoyed more on dance floors across the globe because it was a surefire winner.
I think Dua Lipa tapped into something with the direction of music by digging into the 70s Disco, 80s Dance, and 90s House Music to create a feel-good 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. I'll lay down good money on it.
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 Volume 2

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 shutting 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 Beatport, Spotify, and YouTube streams as a basis for making my decisions on what's included in the Top Dance Songs of 2020.
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.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zToEPpFEN8
That's where YouTube comes into play. I look at the total number of views for videos and 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 long as they had a certain amount of impact on the listener. That and my personal favorites will always be included.
You'll also notice some carryover from 2019. Songs that were massive the previous year that continued to chart and were in heavy rotation on radio or in the clubs (for a while) 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 with a soundtrack to your life at any given moment in time the Top Dance Songs of 2020 is the defenitive time capsule. 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 award if ever there was one). Until the next time...ENJOY!

Top Dance Songs of 2020 Volume 1

As Party Favorz winds down 2020 — it's time for our annual Top Dance Songs of the year for 2020 non-stop dance music set(s). This series features the biggest dance hits of the year and this year starts to shake things up.
Not since 2015 has the Top Dance Songs of the Year been this diverse in its offerings. The entire dance music scene is finally beginning to shake loose from its tight-knit structure to more loosely reflect a wider variety of genres. Nowhere is this evident than in 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 1970s and early 80s were considered a time of decadence and escapism from a downtrodden economy, long gas lines, and high unemployment, and Disco was the perfect escape to ease people's anxiety. Enter stage left Dua Lipa.
It's 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 on 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.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oygrmJFKYZY
"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. He features prominently in the Top Dances Songs of 2020 and the future looks bright 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 a 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 to put 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!

Postcards From Disco Paradise

Party Favorz is back with our final funky disco house shit set of the year and it's chock full of Disco House Music treasures.
We always look forward to new music from Purple Disco Machine and his original track with Mind Enterprises "Exotica" fills that void. The songs has a fairly simple pulsating electronic beat complete with a vocoder to give it an 80's futuristic feel. After several listens — it became clear to me that PDM needs to collaborate with Pet Shop Boys for a match made in heaven.
[youtube v="WHfdxHIy0m8"]
Another personal favorite is Mark Knight and Jem Cooke's "Drowning In the Dark." It appears this song is not getting the attention it deserves so I'm here to plug it because it steps out of the more progressive work Mark has been putting out for awhile now and drowns us in an ocean disco delights.
DJ Meme is back with Inaya Day and Aline Rocha on the wonderful "Satisfy" where Yam Who? reworks the original into a crowd pleaser.
There's lot's of classic reworks and samples in this set like Liquid Gold's "Dance Yourself Dizzy" where you'd never know it from the original, Kurd Maverick & The Cube Guys' "It's Not Over" samples the First Choice classic "Let No Man Put Asunder" (more on these ladies coming in 2021), Adri Block & Paul Parsons do faithful housed-up rendition of the Al Wilson Soul classic "Show and Tell" that delivers in spades, and Christopher Williams & Carolyn Griffey remake the D-Train classic "You're the One For Me" with LEGEND Steve 'Silk' Hurley doing remix honors.
Hot on the heels of the Bee Gees documentary that debuts on HBO on Saturday, Ian Ossia is back with a total rework of "You Should Be Dancing" bringing the massive disco classic into the 21st century with "Moves At Midnight."
Overall, this set much more soulful than previous efforts while retaining its disco roots, which is perfect for escaping from the hell that is 2020.
We're not quite done with the year just yet. I'll start rolling out the biggest dance songs of 2020 with the annual Top Dance Club Songs of the Year shortly before capping off this memorable year (for all the wrong reasons) with our annual Blow Your Own Horn that takes us into 2021 where a whole new fresh hell awaits. Until then...ENJOY!

Jingle Electric 2020 | Winter’s Biggest Dance Party!

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!

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

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

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.

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

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.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

CELEBRATE 2021!!! | The Post Election Dance Celebration

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.
