90s Classic House Music: The Ultimate Classics [1988 – 1991] Volume 1
Saturday Oct 10, 2020
Saturday Oct 10, 2020
House music, an enduring and transformative genre, found its origins in the mid-1980s, maturing and taking firm roots by the end of the decade which evolved into what's now considered 90s Classic House music. Remember the "Disco Sucks" movement in the early 80s? Dance music never really disappeared; instead, it began a fragmented evolution. Thanks to synth-laden tracks and beat machines made famous by DJ icons like Giorgio Moroder and Cerrone, it morphed into new realms.
The Evolution of 90s Classic House Music
From New Wave dance and Hi NRG to classic House music in the 90s, the genre's influence has permeated every dance floor. Early subdivisions like Acid House, Hip Hop, Breakbeat, Freestyle and Trip Hop paved the way for commercial sensations like "Pump Up the Volume," by M/A/R/R/S, the Shep Pettibone remix of "Bizarre Love Triangle," and "Vogue" by Madonna as well as the Acid House classic "Theme from S'Express" by S'Express.

Spanning from 1988 to 1991, the Ultimate 90's House Music Classics series encapsulates this genre's underground roots before its mainstream success. The 90s House music classics like "Finally," by CeCe Peniston "Show Me Love," by Robin S and "Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless)" by Crystal Waters owe their existence to the humble beginnings in Chicago, spreading to New York and then globally.
Superstar DJs and the 90s House Music Classics
Classic House music 90s didn't just shape the era; it created legends. Beyond Frankie Knuckles, figures like Larry Levan, Steve "Silk" Hurley, and David Morales were pivotal in the genre. The Shep Pettibone remix of "Rhythm Nation" by Janet Jackson, or Shep's House Mix of "Miss You Much" are a testament to the talent of these pioneers.
This series wouldn't be complete without mentioning songs like Soul II Soul's "Keep On Movin'" and "Back 2 Life (However Do You Want Me)" or the 12" Choice Mix of "Finally" by Ce Ce Peniston. And who could forget the ever-catchy Nomad's "(I Wanna Give You) Devotion"? Whether they were original hits like Snap!'s "The Power" or Marshall Jefferson's "Move Your Body," which is been remastered and released as a hit just recently — they each contributed to the 90s classic House music legacy.
Of course, not every track was timeless. Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy" might have been a one-off earworm, but it, along with the Shep Pettibone Remix of Madonna's "Vogue," belongs to the larger narrative of this influential era.

In Conclusion
Compiling, mixing, and remastering the best 90s House remixes has been a remarkable endeavor. Party Favorz's journey through these old school House music hits provides not only nostalgia but inspiration for aspiring DJs. This history keeps repeating itself, making it worth your time to explore and educate yourself.
With the first three volumes scheduled for release soon, followed by some new Disco House and Peak Hour sets, this collection stands as a testament to love, passion, and devotion to all things House Music.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Fall Edition 2020 | Cool Down With Fall’s Biggest Circuit Anthems
Sunday Sep 27, 2020
Sunday Sep 27, 2020
After several fits and stops, Party Favorz is finally dropping the annual Fall Edition featuring the season's biggest circuit, tribal anthems, and is this one HUGE!
It took a while to wrap my head around some of these tracks to get them to flow the way I envisioned but after trial and error then walking away and coming back to it — everything finally fell together.
Everything you come to expect is here with all the latest circuit offerings featuring the biggest hit songs, the biggest divas, fisting pumping anthems, uplifting tracks, and just plain ole party hard fun-filled tribal fun. It's more than enough to make you forget about the pandemic and look forward to coming out the other end of this shitshow.
With this release, I'm finally back on schedule and will likely start rolling out some of the promised Ultimate 90s House Classics later this week before jumping into the latest Disco House and Peak Hour sets. I'm not certain about the release timeline of the annual Madonna compilation(s) just yet. It'll happen when it happens.
For now, I know you guys have been eagerly waiting for the next circuit set since July and I didn't want to make you wait until next week. There's more than enough here to hold you over until the Holiday Edition. Until then...ENJOY!
This episode was edited by removing seven songs from the original mix to keep tight and cohesive. Otherwise, everything is identical.

Lady Gaga’s 2020 Remix Revolution: Just Dance — The Diva Series
Thursday Sep 24, 2020
Thursday Sep 24, 2020
Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, known professionally as Lady Gaga, is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and businesswoman. She is known for her consistent image reinventions and versatility in both music and entertainment.
The Fame (Monster) [2008 - 2010]
We will stop right there because Lady Gaga has been a persistent presence in our lives since 2008 when she broke through with her album "The Fame," which featured two #1 songs ("Just Dance" and "Poker Face") and two top ten songs ("Love Game" and "Paparazzi") followed by supplemental EP that featured three more top tens ("Bad Romance," "Telephone" [with Beyoncé], and "Alejandro").
2008 - 2010 was a dizzying time for Lady Gaga as she catapulted from an unknown to a worldwide superstar seemingly overnight. Every appearance and every sitting featured her in a new outfit designed to keep her name in the news.
Born This Way [2011]
She built on her credibility with fans (especially young gay fans) with the release of "Born This Way" whose self-titled single shot to #1 on the charts and embraced the diversity of all stripes but none more than the LGBTQ community who embraced the song as our own.
Artpop, Cheek To Cheek, Joanne [2013 - 2016]
By 2013, she released the uneven "Artpop," which while filled with more dance anthems — was conceptually overthought, and the build-up to its release was a bit of disappointment but fans remained by her side.
She quickly followed up the next year with a duets album with the classic crooner Tony Bennett on "Cheek To Cheek" album which garnered positive reviews and netted the pair Grammy for "Best Traditional Pop Album." It was precisely at this moment the world knew there was more to this woman than a piano, persona, and good voice — rather mad talented.
A Star Is Born [2018]
Lady Gaga followed up with "Joanne" a more personal album that achieved mild success. Two years later she was reborn as the leading lady in the remake of the movie classic "A Star Is Born" opposite Bradley Cooper. The movie opened to rave reviews and its lead single "Shallow" (a duet with Bradley Cooper) reached #1 on the Hot 100 chart.
In 2015 her live performance at the Oscar's singing a medley of songs from the "Sound of Music" soundtrack, generated rave reviews because it showcased her vocal diversity like no other. The woman is truly a force within the industry.
Chromatica [2020]
With the release of the stellar "Chromatica," 2020 has been a stellar year of Lady Gaga with the return to her dance roots which generated one of the biggest songs of the summer, and the year "Rain On Me" with Ariana Grande.
Personal life
Lady Gaga has been very open about her battle with depression — something this writer can personally empathize with. The tendency to battle through the most trying times and then pull back before diving in again is a common theme for many though pulling back has never been an option for me. I hope that after she finishes all the promotion and video releases for her current album — she's able to take the necessary time off to regenerate and maintain a semblance of normality in her life.
It's with much love and respect that Party Favorz for a third time honors the unbelievably talented and beautiful soul, Miss Lady Gaga into the Diva Hall of Fame where she holds her rightful place. ENJOY!

Katy Perry 2020 | The Diva Series
Sunday Sep 20, 2020
Sunday Sep 20, 2020
Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson known professionally as Katy Perry, is an American singer, songwriter, and television judge. Katy is no stranger to the Diva Hall of Fame and unless you've been living under a rock for the past 13 years — the woman has been a force in pop music with nine number-one singles and has sold 18 million albums and 125 million singles worldwide.
Katy Perry was lit voice for a generation of millennials with massive hits like "I Kissed A Girl," "California Gurls," "Teenage Dream," "Firework" (a massive gay anthem), "Roar," "Dark Horse," and more.
Her highly anticipated big-budget videos like "Roar" and "Dark Horse" were the first of any artist to reach a billion views. This was proof that MTV may be dead but the art of video making was not, where YouTube and Vimeo picked up the slack generating millions for artists and music publishers.
As with many artists of her era — her fans grew up, got jobs, and settled down with families of their own. As such, her music has continued to mature while retaining that goofy, playful persona we've all come to love about her. With a new marriage to hottie Orlando Bloom and baby appropriately named "Daisy," it may be time for her music to transition into the young admirable adult she's become because I think her fans will continue to follow her. Even though her excellent release "Smile" received a lukewarm reception from critics, there's plenty of evidence that the transition is already occurring.
That being said — I feel there's an elephant in the room that she smartly addressed with a potential collaboration with the Korean pop group Blackpink. This group has already gained superstar status around the globe and is finally making inroads into the U.S. market with their recent "How You Like That." But, their recent collaborations with Lady Gaga, Dua Lipa, and Selena Gomez (all Diva Hall of Fame inductees) have raised the question as to whether these ladies (see their management and label) are more interested in promoting themselves by poaching established artists and their fan base.
None of these collaborations have yielded a major hit but have generated millions of views (read ad revenue) and streams. It's unknown what the deals entail but I suspect they highly favor this group who has yet to prove their value in the U.S. market. Look no further than the "Sour Candy" duet with Lady Gaga where she doesn't come in until halfway through the song. It appears Katy has picked up on this and likely knows something I don't but given her recent remarks about a potential collaboration:
Speaking specifically about BLACKPINK, Katy shared with The Standard, "To be honest, I feel like some of that can be just people trying to make numbers. And, I’m not here to make numbers. I’m here to move hearts.
Far be it for Party Favorz to suggest what she should do but if she does — it should be a 60/40 split in her favor.
For now, Party Favorz is celebrating 13 years of one of our most enduring DIVAS. Katy — WE ADORE YOU and wish nothing but the best for you and your family while looking forward to hearing whatever you put out in the future. It's with much love and respect that we reinduct Katy into the Diva Hall of Fame. ENJOY!

Red Hot! | Fall’s Biggest Dance Club Songs
Sunday Sep 13, 2020
Sunday Sep 13, 2020
Party Favorz is kicking the Fall season off with the biggest and best dance club tracks out at the moment. This retains the similar formula of previous releases where you get the latest dance tracks, bootleg remixes of past dance classics and familiar samples of from past monster hits. It’s all here.
I have been inundated with internal and external issues lately forcing me to run a little behind. While everything on the sit is running great — Google has very specific criteria for what they feel is an optimize website and keep changing the goal post. The search results for Party Favorz had been dropping steadily so I’ve had to make a ton of changes on the back-end to make this site Google-friendly — especially for mobile.
Never mind that this site scores 98 on all other metrics and is blazing fast — Google wants developers to squeeze every last ounce of juice from your website predominantly for people still on 3G networks throughout the world. While not necessarily my customer — when it hurts my rankings and bottom line — I’ve got to step up to the plate to meet their challenge.
The work is almost complete but you may experience some slow down over the next 24 hours while I finish up on the back end. All I’ll say is that the changes I’m making are already having a major positive impact so I know I’m heading in the right direction.
Anyway, that’s the gist of everything on the internal and the external issues are not your concern. Just know that I’m on top of everything and releases will continue to flow from here on out.
Until the next time…ENJOY!

Chill To the Final Days Of Summer | Summer Farewell 2020
Saturday Aug 22, 2020
Saturday Aug 22, 2020
I've been working since early this morning on our next "ultimate" series scheduled to be staggered out between September - November that I completely forgot to post the final mix of summer.
Summer Farewell is an annual collection but could be anything from Dance Club, Disco House and in past years Chill Out. Since this isn't a normal year for music releases and it certainly isn't a normal year for life in general — Party Favorz thought it was highly appropriate to bring the temperature down several notches so we can ease into fall and pull back on our anxiety medications that the current political climate and pandemic have wrought upon us.
This set is designed to achieve that goal so you can sit back, relax, smoke a fat phone, drink a glass of wine or do whatever it is that allows you to escape the daily bullshit of our world. I'm sorry to say — after next week it's going to heat up again with daily assaults on not only our way of life but our republic.
For those of you in California — thoughts and prayers are nowhere near enough to express the deep regret I have at the way you've been ignored by the current administration. Stay strong and stay safe.
I'll be taking some time off to finish some work around our home. Since our 20 year old child Katherine passed away — I've been slowly replacing all of our furniture she destroyed over the years by just being her feline self. We've lived here since 2017 when this place was still under construction and plan on staying as long as possible. I need to finish hanging up artwork and paint a floating ledge and our patio furniture that was damaged by a flood in our garage from the unit above it. It's nothing that a fresh coat of paint won't fix.
I've pretty much got September and part of October mapped out already with some sweet releases heading your way. Everything is a bit jumbled because new club releases are not quite as bountiful as they have been in the past. So, I wait until there's enough to compile a set that meets our standards for release instead of just throwing a bunch of crap at you.
I hope things are shaping up well where you're at and if not just remember — it will get better. Until the next time...ENJOY!

Disco Yeah! | Close Out Summer with the Latest Disco House
Wednesday Aug 19, 2020
Wednesday Aug 19, 2020
Party Favorz is dropping a pair of fresh Disco House and Chill Out sets to close out the summer season before picking up again in the fall.
Disco Yeah represents the finest Disco House tunes of the moment that are bound to sizzle your gizzle with deep-fried juicy beats.
Michael Gray kicks off this set with "Take Me Back" (as in Studio 54) with Ian Ossia doing the remix honors. This song is also remixed by 84bit and frankly both remixes are outstanding so it was nothing more than a preference for inclusion.
[youtube v="xjp5TifcuoI"]
Salsoul Records had commissioned the very talented Dr. Packer to remix several classic tracks from their vast collection and here we get not one but two Loleatta Holloway classics that have been updated for today's new disco scene, while remaining true to the originals. "Runaway" and "Hit and Run" are two of the finest from her repertoire as he's already remixed "Love Sensation." The big one we're still waiting for is "Dreaming," but hopefully soon.
Gangs Of Naples & Raffaele Ciavolino sample Loleatta's foray into 80's Dance with "Crash Goes Love" on their "What I Want" — an often overlooked classic loaded with one-liners that have been frequently lifted.
Speaking of classics, Angelo Ferreri takes a deep dive into the Joe T. Vannelli and Eartha Kitt dance floor smash "Where Is My Man" and DJ Aiblo delivers a faithful rework of Kool & the Gang's "Too Hot."
There's no doubt that Billy Porter has had a massive resurgence the past couple of years and he returns with the UK's Shapeshifters on the glorious House track "Finally Ready."
Overall, Disco Yeah raises the temperature with a solid mix of styles that blend together to create a seamless end of summer pool party (even if for only one).
We'll be back on Saturday with the final Chill Out session to close the summer out. Until then...ENJOY!

Turn Up The Volume | Maximum Peak Hour House Music
Friday Aug 14, 2020
Friday Aug 14, 2020
Party Favorz is back with our next installment of Peak Hour mayhem! Turn Up the Volume features the latest in Tech House, Late Nite House, EDM, and Bootleg mashups that are bound to turn some heads.
This set starts off with a simmer and heats up rapidly before boiling over. Lots of fresh originals here like Norman Doray and Piem's "Give It Up," Husko & Stephan Duy's "Hands In The Air," HUGEL's "Cool," and Prok & Fitch's "Indiance."

You may also remember back in February I declared Soffi Tukker's "Good Time Girl" as one of the biggest songs of the year that actually came out last year. Our good friends at Ultra apparently agree and commissioned some official remixes for the song and the Leandro da Silva remix is included here. You better believe the more commercial Benny Bennasi remix will be making its debut on the next Dance Club set.

My only complaint is that they dropped the white girl rap by Charlie Barker, which added a lot of flavor to the original. Nevertheless, these are stellar remixes coming on top of ST's recent collab with Gorgon City on "House Arrest."
We also have a lot of familiar classic songs that have either been updated ("Gypsy Woman" by Maurizio Basilotta, "Phenomenon" by Sweetpower, "Turnin Me Out" by Chapter & Verse, and "Push It" by Salt-N-Pepa). We even have a rock classic song by Santana "Oye Como Va" being given the House treatment which works oh so well.
Block & Crown deliver "Good For Critics," which uses one of the countless loops and samples in their catalog that is so vast — it's hard to keep up with muchless remember where the samples came from — even though you know you've heard it before.
Finally, Italy's DJs From Mars can always be counted on for mashing up two to three memorable dance classics with something current. Their concoctions are always guaranteed to raise the roof. Here we get the excellent "Not Exactly Boss Bitch in San Frandisco" featuring Doja Cat, Deadmau5 and, Dom Dolla — "All Around the Roses" by SAINt JHN & Imanbek, and R3hab & A Touch Of Class — "Sweet Start Now" by Dua Lipa, The Temper Trap, and Axwell & Dirty South.
In all, Turn Up the Volume demands you do exactly that. Piss off your neighbors or have a late night balcony party. This set is designed for maximum pleasure. ENJOY!

Dua Lipa | The Diva Series
Monday Aug 10, 2020
Monday Aug 10, 2020
Party Favorz is closing out this section of the Young Divas with quite possibly the most gifted and entertaining artists to blast onto the pop scene since Rihanna. That woman is the one and only Dua Lipa.
Dua Lipa is an English model turned singer and songwriter who signed with Warner Music Group in 2015 and released her self-titled debut album in 2017.
Her debut album featured the beautiful "Be The One," (a personal favorite), "IDGAF," and the worldwide smash "New Rules." Shortly after she paired with Calvin Harris for the massive "One Kiss" and Mark Ronson & Diplo a.k.a. Silk City for "Electricity."
FUTURE NOSTALGIA
With a whirlwind of attention surrounding this new artist — Lipa dropped her critically acclaimed follow-up "Future Nostalgia" in March 2020. That album showcased a new direction by pulling from past musical influences from the 70s, 80s, and 90s and was the album that everyone but me didn't know they needed until now.
While Disco, 80s Dance, and 90s House music have been making inroads for a while now — it was going to take a major artist to propel it back into worldwide conciseness. It's the carefree attitude that allows us to forget all about our miserable lives at a time of great uncertainty and Lipa has tapped into that. Whether intended or not — the timing of "Future Nostalgia" couldn't have been more perfect.
There is a crazy-cool vibe about this woman that frankly no one can touch. She has an amazing low register sultry voice and an easy-going personality with a serious work ethic. Folks, we are looking at the next global superstar who undoubtedly will be at the upper echelons of stardom sooner than not.
CLUB FUTURE NOSTALGIA: THE REMIX ALBUM
This Friday the 14th Dua Lipa will be dropping the lead single from her upcoming remix album "Club Future Nostalgia: The Remix Album" "Levitating" with "The Blessed Madonna" remix featuring Madonna and Missy Elliot.
It's also been announced that Mark Ronson will produce a remix of "Physical" with Gwen Stefani.
The album — which is expected to drop on August 21st — ups the ante for club music and is "an eclectic and euphoric mix of the past and present, it’s a celebration of musical worlds coming together, with 90’s house blending seamlessly with 2020’s finest pop and remixers, a splash of 80’s soul and a few noughties musical gems added to the blend.” Party Favorz is excited about this new release as it will also feature previously unreleased tracks (hint: there's a rumor that she finished work on a new collab with Miley Cyrus but it's uncertain as to whether that song will make the final cut or not.)
GLOBAL SUPERSTAR IN THE MAKING
Party Favorz predictions have been dead-on so far and we're looking at the next dance-pop superstar diva. This tribute set is meant to focus on the club remixes of her most popular tracks and WILL NOT be updated with anything from her upcoming release. That album will stand on its own.
It's with our utmost admiration and devotion to the fabulous Dua Lipa that Party Favorz inducts this junior diva into the Diva Hall of Fame. ENJOY!

Camila Cabello | The Diva Series
Saturday Aug 08, 2020
Saturday Aug 08, 2020
Karla Camila Cabello Estrabao is a Cuban-American singer and songwriter. She rose to prominence as a member of the girl group Fifth Harmony, formed on the USA version of The X Factor in 2012. Camila remained in the group for one extended play and two full albums. The group gained notoriety with the release of their third single "Worth It" from their debut album "Reflection" and blew up with the release of "Work From Home" off their second full-length album "7/27."
It was during this period that Camila Cabello began working outside the group with other artists. She had a duet with teen heartthrob Shawn Mendes and a massively successful collaboration with Machine Gun Kelly on "Bad Things." Having finished and helped promote the successful "7/27" album — it was clear that Cabello was the stand out from the 5-girl group. Not unlike previous diva's in our Diva Hall of Fame (Diana Ross and Beyoncé among others) — Cabello's departure from the group was announced at the end of 2016. Girls gotta do what a girl has gotta do.
In early 2017 she released her debut album with the lead single "Crying In the Club" featuring a sample of Christina Aguilera's "Genie In A Bottle." She followed up with the massive best-selling song of the year "Havana" and the Top 10 hit "Never Be the Same" (a personal favorite).
Her follow-up album "Romance" featured the #1 duet with Shawn Mendes "Senorita" and the #12 hit "My Oh My" (with DaBaby). During this period — Cabello has already branched out into acting with the Disney re-adaption of "Cinderella," which is scheduled for release in 2021.
Party Favorz celebrates strong women who take control of their career and make all the necessary moves to ensure their voice is rightfully heard. Taking advantage of a situation when it's presented to you isn't backstabbing — it's understanding your worth by seizing the moment and we applaud her moves no matter how calculated they may appear.
Cabello's solo work as well as her work with Fifth Harmony has been remixed and translated well to the dancefloor. This tribute set pulls from her work with the group as well as her solo material and collaborations to give a better overall picture of where she's heading and how the electronic dance music community has fully embraced her.
We're looking forward to hearing more from this fledgling artist in the years to come. It's for these reasons and more that Party Favorz inducts this up-and-coming artist into the Diva Hall of Fame. ENJOY!

Halsey | The Diva Series
Friday Aug 07, 2020
Friday Aug 07, 2020
Ashley Nicolette Frangipane known professionally as Halsey is an American singer, songwriter, and activist. In just 5 years — Halsey has managed to achieve what many bedroom singer-songwriters could only dream of. She's truly a product of the social media generation (YouTube, Tumblr, Soundcloud) that was an organic success at a time when labels were scouring for new untapped talent on these platforms.
Much of Halsey's music pulls from personal relationships and the lives of other women. Halsey is biracial, bipolar, and bisexual all of which likely contribute to her masterful songwriting and storytelling.
She is also an activist championing multiple causes from LGBTQ rights, climate change, women's rights, and suicide prevention. All worthy causes but one has to wonder how she finds the time to juggle so many passions.
While Halsey is her own person, If she were to be compared to anyone — that honor would go to the recently inducted Ellie Goulding. Both are Indie darlings with unique voices that have embraced electronic dance music as an alternate source for their output and have frequently crossed over into mainstream success.
Halsey is definitely one to watch and with so many accolades heaped on her (not without occasional missteps) and one of the best albums of 2020 (Manic) — there's literally nothing to stop her from being one of this generation's most visible and influential artists.
The Diva Hall of Fame is designated to women and gay men who have heavily contributed to dance music in its multiple forms as represented here. It's not intended to substitute for the original works these remixes are based on — rather recognize the contributions and importance these artists as Halsey have made to the scene.
It's with great pleasure that Party Favorz inducts one of several burgeoning new ladies into the Diva Hall of Fame. We look forward to even greater things from her in the future.

Summer Edition 2020 | SWEAT To the Hottest Circuit Anthems
Saturday Aug 01, 2020
Saturday Aug 01, 2020
Is it hot enough outside for you? If not — things just got hotter with the annual Summer Edition and this set is smoking!
Y'all need to show us some love because it's not like Circuit music doesn't exist but there appears to be less and less of it since the onset of the pandemic. It's out there but you have to search far and wide to find the cream that rises to the top.
Frankly, Summer Edition 2020 achieves that goal and is ripe to get you ripped while doing at-home or in-gym workouts. Remember, at some point, all this crazy shit will come to an end and life as we once knew it will return to some sense of normalcy after vaccines become wildly available probably sometime in Spring 2021.
In the meantime, Party Favorz is trying to ensure at least some continuity in your life so that when the time comes — you're ready to let it all hang out.
Far be it for us to not have much to say but work on the back end continues to hopefully provide everyone with the best user experience possible. As we kick off the final month of summer — I hope y'all have a fabulous weekend. Until the next time...ENJOY!
