Wanna Go Dancin’ | Peak Hour Party Mix

Party Favorz is dropping a surprise peak hour party mix that shakes up our normal release schedule. "Wanna Go Dancin'" is packed to the hilt with slamming new Tech House tracks, a smattering of Bass House, and a healthy serving of deeper House Music tracks that ride the happy train.
CLASSICS REWORKED
Kicking things off are two well-known 90's classics reworked for today's dance floor. King Joshua's "Professional Widow" is a new version that evokes the original Tori Amos/Armand Van Helden collaboration with new vocals, while The Cube Guys stay true to the original version of the monster track "Plastic Dreams" and adding their own modern-day flavor to this classic.
Kevin McKay & Moreno Pezzolato have been dropping massive floor bombs lately and their rework of the 49er's House music classic "Touch Me" hits it dead on. Kevin's "Such A Good Feeling" is reminiscent of another classic but I can't quite put my finger on it as of this writing.
There are so many updated or sampled classics in this set it's mind-boggling how they translate so well into today's music scene. Jake Would's "Pump It" delivers a housed up version of "Pump Up the Jam," while Brothers of Funk deliver an alternate Breaks version of the same song using a different sample called "Make My Day." Michael Gray take's on the disco classic "Push (In the Bush" by Musique, and JL & Afterman take on the unexpected "Should I Stay or Should I Go" by the Clash and deliver a massive floor-filler that would get anyone bouncing. Someone's been digging into mom and dad's record collection.
DO IT IN A DISCO
Perhaps the two biggest surprises are the Carlos and Vicente Fas remake of the 1980 disco classic "Funkytown" by Lipps, Inc. This is song is no stranger to being reworked but once again, taking a silly disco song and turning it into a floor favorite for a new generation is no easy task. It's no wonder it sat atop the DJs top downloaded list for several weeks.
This leads me to one other dance classic from 1979. Ian Ossia takes on the "M" New Wave dance classic "Pop Muzik" titled "Living In a Disco" and does wonders with the song. While he kept the original 120 bpm of the original, I sped it up to give it an easier flow. I've never heard anyone attempt to sample or rework this song so for me this is a big deal. Sadly, none of the other DJs felt the same way I did about this remix so I'll let y'all decide.
Absent of new material, Missy Elliot's "Get Ur Freak On" gets another House music rework by Nader Razdar, which is always a guaranteed hit no matter how many spins you put on this Hip Hop classic.
HOT ORIGINAL TRACKS
You might think this set is all about classic reworks but it's not. ATFC gets straight to the heart of this set with "Tech House Kinda Thing," and Joshwa delivers the floor-stomper "Magic" Brokenears is on fire with "Keep Control" (not to be confused with the recently reworked Sono classic) and Teejay Walton with the help of Mr. V bring it home with "After Midnight."
Camelphat, which has been on a roll since their massive 2017 hit "Cola," are riding high with another sleeper hit "For A Feeling." They seem to gravitate towards these Indie tracks and rework them into these really deep somber grooves. For me, I call these suicide songs because as good as they are — they tend to really drag me down into a state of depression. I'm not knocking their formula because obviously it works but it's not what the world needs at this very moment.
Fortunately, I dropped that track towards the end and sandwiched it between the two uplifting tracks "Sundown" by Biscuits and the breaks track "Just Hold On" by Sub Focus & Wilkinson because I want to leave listeners with a sense of hope — not despair.
To their credit, Camelphat also has the floor-friendly "Freak" out which has a more upbeat vibe that's included here as well.
The production team to keep an eye on are Earth N Days out of Hungary. These guys are sitting on one of the biggest sleeper hi...

Classic Disco Hits Remixed & Reimagined — Thank God It’s Disco Volume 3

Party Favorz is thrilled to deliver yet another colossal set, overflowing with classic disco hits. These all-time favorites have been tastefully retouched to resonate with today's discerning listeners.
Intriguingly, I've discovered that numerous well-known dance tracks from the 90s and early 2000s have borrowed notable elements from these lesser-known disco songs. For instance, the musical riff from John Davis & The Monster Orchestra's "Bourgie', Bourgie'" is unmistakably present in Gustavo Santaolalla's chart-topping club hit "The Wings" from "Brokeback Mountain." Another is Gary Gang's "Let's Lovedance Tonight," which heavily influenced the hit "Can't Get Enough" by Soulsearcher.
There's a plethora of direct and indirect references drawn from these golden era tracks. You'll notice the distinct riff from "You Don't Know Me" by Armand Van Helden appearing in several songs. The dance duo Freemasons even borrowed heavily from Jackie Moore's "This Time Baby" for their track "Love On My Mind."
In this compilation, I've purposefully included some less familiar but highly impactful tracks, alongside massive disco hits that have faded from memory. Any remix by Dr. Packer, Joey Negro, or Dimitri From Paris is worth noting, as these artists impeccably honor the original disco spirit in their work. Their comprehensive understanding of dance music history is unparalleled and worth exploring.
Even though this set was wrapped up a couple of days ago, I've since added five more tracks. Expect an extended version of Thank God It's Disco volume 4 to drop tomorrow. While we've included some renowned tracks for a dash of familiarity, the focus is on exposing you to the gems that aren't typically mainstream.
After a brief hiatus of a week to get some essential chores done, I'll be back with more fresh content from Dance Club, Circuit & Anthems, Disco House, and Peak Hour. And yes, we will have our Gay Pride sets as well.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Top Disco Songs Remixed & Reimagined — Thank God It’s Disco Volume 2

Party Favorz is taking you back in time with a fresh spin on the top disco songs from the iconic 70s and 80s era. Our latest edition, 'Thank God It's Disco Volume 2', is packed with classic disco songs that are either rare treasures never featured in our previous collections or innovatively reimagined for the contemporary dance floor.
These timeless hits have been masterfully remastered to meet the audio demands of current sound systems, with each DJ introducing their unique flair to the originals. The remixes, while distinct, retain the soul of the original versions, ensuring over 4 hours of uninterrupted disco euphoria.
Many of these tracks exhibit a sophisticated charm, blending smooth grooves with a pulsating boogie sensibility. Notably, tracks remixed by Dr. Packer often bear new names, making the original difficult to discern. However, we've reverted to the actual names and included the DJ's name in the title to aid your search on platforms like Juno Download, Traxsource, or Beatport.
If you've been following the disco scene closely, you might be aware of the recent pull back on remix releases by Barry Harris. But his presence is still strong on the live performance front. His Sunday Tea Dance shows, now broadcasted live on Twitch, are a spectacle of original remixes spanning from the 70s to the present day. It's the perfect opportunity to reminisce about those beautiful Sunday afternoons, sipping mimosas, and soaking in the sweet vibes of the disco era.
In the meantime, Party Favorz is committed to delivering the cream of the crop from the classic disco era, revitalized for today's dance floor. Watch this space for 'Thank God It's Disco Volume 3', slated for release this Saturday.
Until then... ENJOY!

Donna Summer | The Ultimate Diva Series

Much ink has been spilled over the Queen of Disco that it doesn't bear repeating. Donna Summer is an icon who laid down the path for future artists like Madonna, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, and many others to use their sexuality and create their own brands on their own terms. Regardless of the much-hyped manipulations behind the scenes, she was a willing participant and took full advantage of her success up until the point she wrestled herself away from Neil Bogart's Casablanca records leaving a legacy that up until that point — no other female artist had achieved.
Today, Donna Summer has a legion of fans both young and old, and serves as an inspiration to many would-be female artists who whether they realize it or not — are deeply indebted to her trailblazing career.
The Queen of Disco is no stranger to Party Favorz, who ranks her at the top of our leading ladies along with Diana Ross and Cher. This tribute set focuses on her work in the 90s through the early millennium and takes a deep dive into updated versions of her back catalog. If any of these tracks are unfamiliar to you or your era was the 70's — look no further than the Casablanca Years set I put out in 2015. There you will find all of her radio and club hits in probably one of the best tribute sets ever laid down honoring the Queen.
When the word "Ultimate" is dropped into the title of one of these series — it's because it's comprehensive and really long. Leaving no stone unturned, I poured through countless bootlegs and official remixes to put this thing together. Many of the songs on here may be new to even her most ardent supporters.
This past couple of Diva Series I've put out has been a bitch to mix and this one was no exception. There's a vast array of styles here from modern-day electro-pop to circuit tribal house and straight-up funky house. Yet, it all feels cohesive and frankly — just works.
Without further ado, ladies and queers, I present to you...Miss Donna Summer! ENJOY!

Dido | The Diva Series

Last week, I was catching up on the Hulu limited series "Little Fires Everywhere," a show set in the late 90's about the intertwined lives of a white and black family that touches on the lived experiences of both groups while adding in enough suspense to keep viewers engaged week after week.  Like all period pieces, the music in the series is lifted straight from that time but also features songs re-recorded likely due to rights issues. One of those songs was the excellent "Here With Me." Enter Dido into my collective consciousness from stage left.
DEBUT ALBUM AND SUCCESS
In 1999, "Here With Me" was the first single from Dido's debut album "No Angel" and was a mild hit in the US but one of those songs that teenagers and young adults gravitate towards because of whatever emotional torment is going on in their angst-ridden romantic lives at that moment. It wasn't until Eminem, who was recording his album at the same time heard "Thank You," where he sampled the first verse for his song "Stan," which became an international hit. Dido's label subsequently released the original version, which went on to become a  #1 hit for the young singer propelling her debut to sell 21 million copies worldwide.
Not unlike her earlier contemporaries, Dido sang about love and happiness but her strength is in songs of emotional despair that tear at the heart. I'd compare much of her work to three other Diva Hall of Fame inductees — Jewel, Robyn, and Sarah McLachlan, especially the latter. Jewel and McLachlan are both singer-songwriters, while Robyn writes pitch-perfect pop songs while embracing darker elements and experimental electronic sounds by working with alternative acts. Much like McLachlan, it's not a coincidence that her music was ripe for Trance remixes at the time of their release. Her wispy vocals with tales of heartbreak and fortitude were ripe for the genre. Her brother is Rollo Armstrong, one half of the electronic dance group Faithless, who co-wrote and co-produced many of the songs on her first three albums.
FOLLOW UP TO A BLOCKBUSTER ALBUM
After touring for nearly two years supporting "No Angel," Dido took some time off and her next album "Life For Rent" didn't come out until 2003. In the music world, that was an eternity between albums but it was equally successful with the massive "White Flag," which is a personal all-time favorite. "I will go down with this ship, and I won't put my hands up and surrender. There will be no white flag above my door. I'm in love and always will be" The lyrics to this song alone are worth the price of admission into Dido's world.
I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be
CURRENT DAY
Last year, Dido released her first album in 15 years "Still On My Mind," and yielded the Billboard #1 Dance Club track "Give You Up," which served to remind us of her brilliant writing skills and let us all know that hey, she's still here and relevant. Indeed, she is. Currently, Dido has a single out with the group R Plus entitled "My Boy," which is stellar all by itself. The Meduza remix is featured here and frankly deserves much more attention than it's receiving as it's criminally underrated.
[youtube v="JzJK31k8q6c"]
Party Favorz would be remiss if we were to leave out one of the most influential if not important artists to emerge from the early millennium. It is with profound love and respect that Dido is inducted into the Diva Hall of Fame. ENJOY!

Diana Ross | The Ultimate Diva Series

Diana Ross is quite possibly the most perpetual force in music history to outlast all of her contemporaries. Whether as part of The Supremes in the 1960s or as a solo artist from the 1970s through today — the woman is a tour de force in an industry that was built by men on the backs of artists like herself. Yet, she's still here banging out remixes of her back catalog and racking up #1 Dance Club hits 60 years later. The woman is like an "aching in my heart" that won't go away.
Years ago, Party Favorz had attempted an ultimate remix series for Miss Ross that many of you loved but I was never happy with. Then the Almighty remixes dropped featuring many unlikely high-energy remixes of songs like "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and "Touch Me In the Morning" that I put together a tribute set that was worthy of her highness.
Fast forward to today and many of her past hits (with legendary Eric Kupper at the helm) have been remixed for today's dance floors, which have generated four #1 Billboard Dance Club hits including ANMHE, "Upside Down/I'm Coming Out," "The Boss," and "Love Hangover."
On May 29th, Diana in conjunction with Motown Records will release her 2nd remix album featuring these tracks plus "Surrender," "No One Get's the Prize," "It's My House," "Touch Me In the Morning," and "Remember Me" all with Eric Kupper performing the remix honors. The digital version will be released on May 29th, while the CD and crystal-clear vinyl editions will follow on June 26th. You can pre-order them here.
While there have been many remixes of her songs over the years, fans continue to create modern-day remixes, which are featured in this tribute set, which includes the Almighty remixes but also remixes by Barry Harris, Dirty Disco, Jet Boot Jack, Thee Werq'n B!Tches among many others. So as not to preempt the sales of her forthcoming remix set, Party Favorz only included one remix by Eric Kupper.
It is with much love, devotion, and sincere admiration of one of the most prolific if not crucial musical artists of this century, Party Favorz proudly presents the Ultimate Diva Series honoring the fabulous Miss Ross. Enjoy!

Spring Edition 2020 | Spring Forward To the Latest Circuit and Anthems

The Easter Beagle has arrived and is delivering a basket full of circuit and anthems with a smattering of t-dance funky house delights to lighten the load.
This set is packed with the biggest circuit tribal house tracks that will energize your at home workouts with massive favorites like "Kings & Queens" by Ava Max — a song so good that I included two remixes by Jack Chang and Danny Verde.
Guy Scheiman teams up with the immortal Alan T and delivers the sizzling, timely, and camp track #Stay the Fuk Home. The song is so deliberate that you just want to break the quarantine and mix it up on the floor.
Tonight's quarantine is to continue in the following fashion.
And it goes like this: you, you to the right, YOU to the left
Can you move? CDC, please assist me in rounding up the infected. 
Not you, perhaps you, and NEVER you. 
We're liking what's appearing over here in this corner with the face masks
and hazmat suits — social distancing is always welcome -Alan T
We've got a new remix of Lady Gaga's fabulous "Stupid Love" by Jack Chang, and Dirty Disco turn Ladi Rosa's "I Ain't No Taylor Swift" into t dubalicious one-liner.
80's teen Diva, Debbie Gibson drops her fist in ages "Girls Night Out," which is a fun playful track but it's the Tracy Young Disco remix that makes the song shine. Speaking of Disco, Alex Newell has a smoking hot track that just dropped called "Boy, You Can Keep It." This is one of my current favs but instead of delivering the amazing disco rework by Tracy Young — I used the darker Chus & Ceballos remix, which delivers sexually ambiguous vocals (a technique made famous by Zhu years ago) so much so that you'd never recognize it. The song hasn't even charted yet, so Tracy's uplifting version will appear in a future Dance Club set.
Another personal favorite, is Halsey's "You Should Be Sad," which in the hands of Yinon Yahel (who makes several appearances here) is a slice of circuit heaven if not for the fact that it's too short but I'll take it.
Kristine W makes two appearances in this set. The first is a DJ Paulo & Soriano 2020 update of her classic "Feel What You Want," which is by far one of the best remixes of this track I've ever heard. The other is her latest, which is an unlikely cover of the Heart classic rock track "Barracuda." Kristine definitely has the muscular vocals to take on Ann Wilson and I applaud her choice in this selection but as someone who is a massive fan of the Wilson sisters, it's difficult for me to separate the two. Still, the song comes with a bevy of remixes with Dinaire + Bissen delivering the most commercial version. For this set, I went with Tony Moran's remix. Don't be surprised when some other DJ remixes the original in the next six months, which would be interesting.
Once again, the boys from Houston (Dirty Disco) deliver another stellar yet unexpected remix of an old school gay icon — Miss Patsy Cline. Remixing "Walking After Midnight" by this country crooner who has a massive gay following must have been a challenge but the end result paid off BIG TIME. They also turn in another delectable remix of Dua Lipa's latest "Break My Heart."
Finally, one of Party Favorz all-time favorite DIVAS, Miss Diana Ross has racked up yet another #1 on the Billboard's Dance Club chart for "Love Hangover," which peaked on the Disco charts back in 1976 and appears here with Ralphi Rosario doing the remix honors. One of the things I noticed about this week's chart is that it barely changed, if at all. I'm also seeing a lot of classic tracks and/or modern-day reworks of the originals in my DJ services — meaning, fewer new releases. While it's too soon to see how this all plays out — never fear because you know Party Favorz always has an ace up my sleeve to keep the party going.
From my patio, it's a beautiful day outside but we're expecting a major storm with possible flooding and tornadoes later this afternoon. If you're in the southern part of the United States,

Red Alert | Peak Hour Music For the After Hours Crowd

Party Favorz is back with some deep peak hour music for those who start their party later in the evening. Red Alert features the hottest Tech House tracks at the moment with some funky surprises thrown in to mix things up and tingle your spine.
Claptone & Mylo's "Drop the Pressure" kicks things off and sets the mood for subsequent tracks before all hell breaks loose. This track is currently sitting at the top of most DJ sets but it's the lesser known songs that are the real winners here.
The Cube Guys have recently re-entered the scene after years of success in the commercial and underground space of the electronic music scene in the early millennium. Actually, they never went away but they're definitely making their presence felt these days. The joined up with Bando and re-grooved Dee-Lite's early 90's smash "Groove Is In the Heart" turning it into a deep Tech House track that would fill any dancefloor if we had any.
Norman Cook a.k.a. Fatboy Slim is another master class producer and his infectious "All the Ladies" hits that deep groove spot and holds steady before we launch into another Cube Guys remix of the 90's alternative House classic "Red Alert" by Basement Jaxx.
Johan S delivers the funky Tech House stomper "Smoke This" and Salt N Pepa's 80's classic "Push It" get's another rework by Safety First!, which is one of two versions currently out for 2020. "Push It" is just one of those songs that delivers in any environment and it would be really difficult to NOT make it a crowd pleaser.
Trance megastars Above & Beyond take a stark turn and resurrect New Order's 80's alternative dance classic "Blue Monday" turning it into a massive roof-raising monster with it's signature synth.
The always diverse Lucas Debonaire delivers a funky mashup that samples Michael Jackson's famous hook in "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" and mashes it with the 80's M|A|R|R|S Acid House classic "Pump Up the Volume" and creates an all new booty shaker that's bound to please.
Another track blowing up at the moment is the Riva Starr remix of the 2009 Dennis Ferrer low-key House classic "Hey Hey." Here, Riva Starr drops in a familiar Giorgio Moroder groove, bumps up the BPM by 5 and flips this track 360 degrees.
Buzz Low's "Thong Song" is a track I just can't get sick of no matter how many times I listen to it. It's definitely a crowd-pleaser with an infectious hook. If things weren't the way they are at the moment, Spinnin Records would have a smash on their hands.
Roger M's "Discosizer" lifts the 80's Miguel Brown Hi NRG classic "So Many Men, So Little Time" and mashes it with our favorite DIVA Loleatta Holloway. In fact, there's another Loleatta sample buried in this set as well. I've said it before and keep saying it, this woman's back catalog is likely the most sampled in modern era House Music — full stop!
As usual, I could go on and on but I'll let this set speak for itself.
COMING SOON
After the flubbed incident with Podbean erroneously cancelling my account and subsequently all the subscriptions, it's been one issue after another, while I was trying to make some cosmetic changes to the website. I've gotten through all that but it has put me behind schedule.
I already have the cover art and track list compiled for the Spring Edition 2020, so expect that to finally drop by mid-week. I had several new Diva Hall of Fame entries scheduled but decided to drop the one I was saving for last by this coming weekend. My goal is to uplift everyone with things I know you want even if you don't know it yet. I'll follow-up with the other new diva entries, which are small potatoes in comparison the following week before diverting your attention again.
I hope everyone is staying safe but still manages to have a fabulous weekend. Until the next time...ENJOY!

Disco Pandemic | Get Your Boogie On While Isolated

Party Favorz is back with a fresh look at the latest funky house music tracks with "Disco Pandemic." The only thing infectious about this set are the beats.
Things kick off with "Mountains" by The Vision featuring Andreya Triana. You may remember the fabulous "Heaven" by these pair from "Party For the Weekend" last year. Instead of a disco floor stomper this time, "Mountains" brings out that old school 90's vibe. Clocking in at over 10 minutes, I had do some precision editing to keep it moving along but it kicks this set off with a nice quiet opening before things slowly heat up.
The Shapeshifters are back with the vocally gifted Kimberly Davis "Second Chances." I'm thrilled to see that these guys continue to release solid House Music tracks. They don't even bother commissioning remixes because their originals speak for themselves.
Sorry, no Purple Disco Machine in this set but to make up for it — we've got the king of disco edits Dr. Packer and the always diverse offerings of Block & Crown. You should keep an eye on the latter as they have a tendency to swing from Disco, to House, to Funk, to roof-raising underground floor fillers. They've been churning their work out at a record pace with no identifiable signature sound that's starting to cross over into mainstream territory. Their music is so dynamic that they may very well get their own Legacy induction because I want people to become more aware of their work.
As per usual, there's a lot of familiarity for those who store a Disco catalog in their cortex. For others — this will be all new to you. Much like Disco Chic, the overall vibe here is more smooth and laid back with several funky elements in the mix. While it relies heavily on past 70's and 80's and even some 90's Disco or House Music tracks (either sampled or in whole), the DJs add a underlying element that modernizes the sound for an entire new generation of listeners.
THANKS AND SHOUTOUTS
I want to give a HUGE shoutout to Paul B. for his generous donation. Even though we nearly met out goal — as our monthly expenses continue to skyrocket, everything helps.
Nevertheless, Party Favorz is doing everything in our (meaning my) power to ensure that you're never bored and always distracted with our latest offerings during this worldwide crisis. Until the next time...ENJOY!

Spring Break 2020 | The Top Dance Club Hits for March

Welcome to Spring Break 2020 featuring the top dance club hits that under normal circumstances would fuel your beach parties but these aren't normal times. At this point, all students are getting an extended spring break but are either breaking the rules (see the photo attached to this post) or are going stir-crazy locked up in their apartments or parent's home.
Party Favorz has the cure for your pandemic blues and went out of our way to not only give you the hottest dance club tracks riding high at the moment but a slew of what we think will be some in the running for songs of the summer. Too soon you say? Nope.
Songs currently in contention are Camila Cabello's "My Oh My," Ladi Rosa's "Ain't No Taylor Swift," The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights," Lady Gaga's "Stupid Love," Meduza featuring Shells "Born To Love," Demi Lovato's "I Love Me," Dua Lipa's "Physical," and Doja Cat's irresistible "Say So" among others.
We usually don't pull tracks that have been serviced to DJs in the original form with an intro/outro because usually the BPM is too slow for these sets but have made an exception given the current circumstances to give everyone more entertainment value. Don't worry, I made it work.
With over 3 hours of non-stop top dance club hits there's enough variety here to keep your attention span from drifting while fueling your at-home workouts.
UPDATED CLASSICS STILL TRENDING
As has been the case for the past several sets, DJs are digging in the crates and updating classics (many of which go on to top the charts). Sometimes they use the original vocals, other times they pluck someone new to sing it, while other times they're sampling familiar beats (to me and many of you) and turning them into new songs. In fact, some of these songs will likely end up in our annual Gay Anthems for a New Generation set in June.
This set features Erasure's "A Little Respect 2020," AZ2A x Keepin It Heale's "Genie in a Bottle," (Christina Aguilera), Sound of Legend "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" (Eurythmics), Kelis vs. Diplo "Milkshake," Klass "Mr. Saxobeat," Gala "Free From Desire," where the original 90s version was just included on the The Ultimate Eurodance Collection volume 2 from the 90s, ABBA vs. Freekack "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight), and Cheesecake Boys "Funky Monday" which riffs off the New Order classic "Blue Monday."
Hell, even 80s teen idol Debbie Gibson is back with the new song "Girls Night Out," which is currently sitting at #4 on Billboard's Dance Club chart and is likely to hit #1 in the next few weeks.
PERFECTION TAKES TIME
If you wonder why it took me so long to get this set out it's because we've been culminating tracks for at least six different sets scheduled to be released through the first week of April. I've also got a brand new Thank God It's Disco dropping during that time and you can expect some old-school Diva Hall of Fame entries coming on the heels of that — one of which many of you are going to pee your pants over. Yes, I know I'm a cock tease but I like to leave a little mystery so y'all keep checking back. I've also got a list of current divas who are going to be inducted but they likely won't drop until sometime in the summer since they ALL have new releases out.
IT'S THE CORONAVIRUS NOT THE MACARENA
I am imploring everyone young and old to please take this pandemic seriously. For all those who think they're immune because they're young — testing is showing that y'all are making up a disproportionate amount of those infected. Even if you only have mild symptoms or none at all, you still pose a risk to your friends with compromised immune systems, your parents, your grandparents and complete strangers you don't even know.
The Party Favorz motto has ALWAYS been to party, have fun but just be responsible about it. Not just for your safety but that of others. I haven't lived a perfect life and this picture was me back in the day but we weren't dealing with a pandemic either....

90s Eurodance Hits: The Ultimate Collection Volume 4

Party Favorz presents the much-anticipated conclusion to the Ultimate Eurodance Collection with volume 4, delivering a high-octane mix of 90s Eurodance and Techno that left an indelible mark on the dance music scene. These tracks defined an era of pulsating beats, infectious melodies, and non-stop energy that dominated clubs and airwaves.
Ann Lee's "2 Times" immediately grabs attention with its catchy hooks and became a global hit. Despite its slower tempo of 130 BPM, it remains an enduring favorite on Eurodance charts, showcasing the genre's ability to captivate audiences with its irresistible sound.
La Bouche, a German Eurodance group, achieved remarkable success with their powerful vocalist Melanie Thornton. Their chart-topping hits "Be My Lover" and "Sweet Dreams" showcased the perfect blend of captivating vocals, infectious beats, and catchy melodies, making them an unstoppable force in the Eurodance scene. In fact, "Be My Lover" just got a David Guetta EDM makeover and is featured on our latest Catch-Up 2023 series.
Pure Sugar's "Delicious" stands out as a funky house tune that sampled A Taste of Honey's disco classic "Boogie Oogie Oogie." While not strictly Eurodance, it exemplifies the genre's versatility and ability to incorporate diverse influences, creating memorable dancefloor moments.
The album also features iconic novelty tracks like "Cotton Eye Joe" and "Male Stripper," which became instant favorites, igniting dancefloors with their energetic and infectious rhythms. The latter was recently the basis for the massive "Dished (Male Stripper)" by Purple Disco Machine. "Boom Boom (Let's Go Back To My Room)" by Paul Lekakis and the Techno hit "Jump" by the Movement further exemplify the genre's fun and playful nature, captivating listeners with their catchy hooks and energetic beats.
The reworked versions of popular songs like "Listen To Your Heart" by DHT and "What's Up" by DJ Miko showcased Eurodance's talent for transforming well-known tunes into high-energy dance anthems, adding a fresh twist and reinvigorating the originals with their own unique flair.
Real McCoy's "Another Night" served as the basis for September's massive early millennium hit "Cry For You." The sampling and riff from "Another Night" became an undeniable and influential element in shaping the future of dance music, highlighting the creative ingenuity of Eurodance artists.
Closing out the set is Ace of Base's "Beautiful Life," a testament to the group's seamless transition into Eurodance after their global triumph with hits like "All That She Wants" and "The Sign." "Beautiful Life" captured the essence of Eurodance with its infectious rhythms, uplifting lyrics, and captivating melodies, cementing its status as an enduring favorite.
Experience the electrifying impact of these standout tracks as the Ultimate Eurodance Collection vol. 4 transports you back to the golden era of 90s Eurodance and Techno. Get ready to dance, reminisce, and relive the exhilaration of a genre that shaped dance music history. Embrace the energy, embrace the nostalgia, and let the music take you on an unforgettable journey.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Starting off with the quintessential Eurodance hit, "Barbie Girl" by Aqua, this compilation will take you back to the time when catchy lyrics and infectious beats were all the rage. Regardless of personal opinions about its merits, there's no denying the impact this track had on the Eurodance scene. Similarly, tracks from Vengaboys, like "We Like To Party" and "Boom Boom Boom," encapsulated the era's sound with their distinct Ibiza beat and memorable hooks, earning their place on both dance and pop charts globally.
This collection also includes Alice Deejay's "Better Off Alone," a track that perfectly captured the spirit of late 90s heartache against a backdrop of pulsating beats. With its undeniable Eurodance and Techno influences, this track became a comforting anthem for many during times of emotional turmoil.
Moving slightly into the realm of Trance, we have the early millennium hit "Toca's Miracle" by Fragma, and N-Trance's genre-bending "Set You Free," blending Drum & Bass, Freestyle, and Trance. Duke's "So In Love," a significant house music staple with Eurodance elements, is also a noteworthy inclusion in this volume.
Tracks like Rozalla's "Everybody's Free (To Feel Good)" and Billie Ray Martin's "Your Loving Arms" offer a seamless blend of House and Eurodance, demonstrating the genre's versatility. Abigail's remakes of "Losing My Religion" and "Constant Craving" further illustrate this fusion, combining familiar tunes with a Eurodance and Trance twist for an enticing dancefloor experience.
No Eurodance compilation would be complete without Nicki French's dancefloor-filling rendition of Bonnie Tyler's classic "Total Eclipse of the Heart," an exceptional blend of Hi-NRG and Eurodance. Likewise, Livin' Joy's hits "Dreamer" and "Don't Stop Movin'," provide a winning fusion of House and Eurodance.
With the third volume of the Ultimate Eurodance Collection, dive into the nostalgic memories of the 90s Eurodance and Techno era, filled with classic tunes that transcended genre boundaries. Stay tuned for the final installment of this journey, and as always... ENJOY!
