Toy Armada & DJ Grind Legacy Edition Volume 1

For more than a decade, Toy Armada and DJ Grind have been shaping the soundtracks of LGBTQ+ dance floors, especially at circuit events. Their influence pays homage to the golden age of dance music, dating back to the late '90s and early 2000s—an era dominated by legends like Hex Hector, Thunderpuss, Victor Calderone, and Peter Rauhofer. Even so, Toy Armada and DJ Grind have managed to create their own unique space, taking the musical torch from trailblazers like Thunderpuss and updating it for today's LGBTQ+ dance community.
The creative chemistry between Toy Armada and DJ Grind ignited almost immediately, starting with a simple email request to collaborate on a remix of Kimberley Locke's "Feel the Love." This initial partnership became a smashing success, soaring to the top of the UK charts and laying the foundation for an enduring and highly fruitful collaboration. Both artists bring something distinct to their combined efforts: Toy Armada was already a recognized talent before teaming up with DJ Grind, and his solo work complements and enriches their shared musical identity.
In our Legacy series, Party Favorz delves into the mesmerizing talents of this dynamic duo. We aim to capture the uplifting spirit and sheer joy that their music brings to audiences—a gift to the LGBTQ+ community that goes beyond mere amusement. They have skillfully transformed this uplifting energy into remixes that provide the backdrop for some of the most unforgettable moments on the dance floor, creating a nearly transcendental experience for their fans.
In an increasingly divided world, the work of Toy Armada and DJ Grind stands as a compelling example of music's power to unite and elevate us all. Their music acts as a celebration of gay pride in its own right, offering an auditory journey that embodies the values of inclusivity, love, and the pure thrill of being alive and dancing in a crowd.
Party Favorz celebrates Toy Armada and DJ Grind for their monumental contributions to the world of dance music. Their work serves as a beacon of happiness and unity, imbuing our lives with the unique joy that comes from dancing in a crowd of people who share your rhythm and soul. We eagerly anticipate what the next chapter will bring for this incredible partnership.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Modern Gay Anthems — Gay Anthems for a New Generation 2019

Party Favorz is dropping the most eagerly anticipated release of the entire year — the 2019 edition of Gay Anthems for a New Generation featuring modern gay anthems of our Gay Pride classics past!
For the uninitiated, this annual series features some of the most iconic gay anthems from decades past that has been reworked for today's club music scene. From Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" to Gloria Gaynor's eponymous 1979 disco empowerment hit "I Will Survive," and everything in between — these songs are not only instantly recognizable but stand the test of time.
I managed to throw in some personal favorite house classics that have been reworked as well as current hits to keep the whole set fresh and timely.
When I started this series in 2016, I wasn't sure how it was going to be received. After all, the originals (which can all be found in various compilations under the Gay Anthems sub-heading) are what folks fondly remember. However, Party Favorz demographics range from 18 - 60 years old (if you can believe it). Taking something old and making it new again is where it's at and the reception to this series has been nothing short of phenomenal.
I've had to reshuffle my release schedule because I'm still waiting on a hot-off-the-presses release from one of our favorite production duos. This is a song that's never been done before but everybody knows oh so well. You can expect a couple of Pride Legacy series to drop sometime next week once I get the track in my greasy palms.
I want to dedicate this set to Bishop Tobin @ThomasJTobin1,  Franklin Graham @Franklin_Graham, Pastor Greg Locke @pastorlocke, and Father Kevin M. Cusick @MCITLFrAphorism who if it weren't for their tireless dedication to suppressing my life and voice while covering up the abuses I suffered as an altar boy — I wouldn't be here today denouncing the closeted, self-hating assholes they are. 
Until next week...ENJOY!

Gay Pride 2019 Volume 2

Party Favorz is back with volume 2 of the annual Gay Pride 2019. This set is a whopper and kicks ass from start to finish. I've packed in all the latest circuit hits along with classic re-works that will keep your heart pounding and the party going.
I'm happy to see that many of you have been signing up for the premium content for the website. I want to address a few things because a couple of you have had some problems.
First, you DO NOT have to stream or download from the Podbean website for Party Favorz. That URL is
and frankly, it's not fully configurable like https://partyfavorz.com to sort and find what you're looking for. You can still use the main website to enjoy your favorite music. I've tested this out myself and it works just fine. When you click "play" or "download," it asks for your username and password. Once you're logged in, you won't have any issues. You shouldn't have to log in again unless you leave the website for an hour or longer. If you're using a smartphone, the Podbean app is excellent and also has most of your favorite podcasts as well. If you're not using the app, their website doesn't offer the kind of experience you're used to — I recommend using the main website.
Someone asked about casting the music to their Bluetooth soundbar. I do it all the time. You can download the episode to your smartphone or computer and cast it from there. You don't need a button on my website to do it for you. One caveat is that if you're using your laptop or desktop to cast, it must have Bluetooth capability. If not, you can cast to your TV via wi-fi though it won't sound all that great. It's not my job to provide instructions on how to do this. Every phone and computer is different. Try Googling your device on how to set that up.
Podbean tracks usage and to prevent users from sharing their login credentials, it may restrict access from multiple locations. That's not me — that's them. If you've been locked out, send a support request via the contact link located at the bottom of the website. Make sure you provide the username (i.e., email address) you use to log into your account. I can send it to Podbean support to have them fix it.
Frankly, from what I've seen so far — these are user errors or confusion over whether you can still use the main website. In this day and age of cheap storage solutions for your media, I'm shocked that many of you still rely on streaming from the website without downloading them first. This is something that all the major streaming platforms allow you to do so you don't suck up a lot of bandwidth and run up against your data usage from your internet or mobile provider. If you want to ensure that your favorite episodes are always there at your fingertips, I highly recommend downloading the episode and backing it up to an external device or in the cloud for easier access. Then again, that's just me so do whatever is easiest for you.
I'll do my best to support any issue you may have but I have to limit it to basic things like logging in and out. There are certain things of a technical nature that you're going to have to get outside help for or look up yourself. Sorry, but I clear 60¢ per subscription. Any support beyond the confines of the actual podcast is unrealistic.
That's it for this week. I've started compiling tracks for the annual Catch-Up for 2019.  For those new around here, the Catch-Up features the biggest dance-club hits of the year along with some newer ones that are expected to track well into the summer. I'll be back next week with that set before we go full throttle into Pride. Until then...ENJOY!

Gay Pride 2019 Volume 1

With Gay Pride 2019 coming up, it's time for Party Favorz to drop the bomb of all bombs with the queerest of the queer circuit tribal house music sets to kick off Gay Pride month! "I'm talking about bodies movin', non-stop groovin', asses shakin', floors are breakin', queens are freakin', hoes are creepin', divas flowing, everybody knows it's time to stand up and put your hands to the sky!"
I busted my ass off putting these two sets together. Frankly, these were some of the hardest sets to pull off I've encountered in a long time. Dirty Disco and several others are starting to get creative with their breakdowns forcing me to have to think outside the box to make this stuff work. This was an issue I've been dealing with for several years now in the Dance-Club category but now it appears to be showing up in the Circuit Tribal House tracks as well.
One noticeable difference Dirty Disco is taking is that they are bringing back the massive remixes that were the staple of the late 90s going into the early millennium. You'll hear more of this in volume 2. It's a welcome change as it gives these songs more room to breathe with a nice breakdown (sometimes two) to keep things interesting. I am really excited about the direction they've been taking as they've begun to really mix it up.
This set has brand-spanking new mixes from Madonna, Kylie, and P!nk with classic updates by Black Blox (featuring the fabulous Loleatta Holloway), Ce Ce Peniston, Robyn, Britney Spears plus a couple of blazing house and disco numbers to close it out.  If this set doesn't take your breath away then volume 2 certainly will. Both have been road-tested and even I was impressed at how damn good they are.
Because Gay Pride 2019 is rapidly approaching, I plan on dropping volume 2 tomorrow to give everyone time to download, digest, and workout to many of the songs they'll be dancing to over the celebratory weekend.
Until then...ENJOY!

David Guetta — A Musical Journey: Legacy Series Volume 2

David Guetta's output over the past 10 years cannot be underestimated. Taking a glance at some of the biggest urban, pop, DJ, rap, and R&B artists he's collaborated with is exhausting.

David Guetta — A Musical Journey: Legacy Series Volume 1

Pierre David Guetta born 7 November 1967) is a French DJ, music programmer, record producer, and songwriter. He has sold over nine million albums and thirty million singles worldwide.[2] In 2011, Guetta was voted as the number one DJ in the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs poll.[3] In 2013, Billboard crowned "When Love Takes Over" with Kelly Rowland as the number-one dance-pop collaboration of all time.[4]
David Guetta had already been involved in the club scene since 1984 - 2000. However, it wasn't until he and partner Joachim Garraud collaborated with the American Gospel singer Chris Willis for a series of songs including their first single "Just a Little More Love." That collaboration spawned several more releases and the eventual compilation of F*ck Me I'm Famous. in 2003.
In 2004, their collaborations continued with the release of Guetta Blaster. After releasing four semi-successful singles it was a mashup of "Just a Little More Love" and the Tocadisco remix of The Egg's "Walking Away" titled "Love Don't Let Me Go (Walking Away)" that blew up the global dance floors. The rest they say is history.
We all know the name David Guetta as one of the most successful DJs, producers, and songwriters of the early millennium. His superstar status skyrocketed with the massively successful "When Love Takes Over" with Kelly Rowland and later "Titanium" with Sia.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRfuAukYTKg
As the dance music world evolved, so did his style. He went from Electro-House to EDM and now Future House, Reggaeton, and whatever the current trend in dance music takes him. David Guetta is still in high demand and often releases tracks under his pseudonym Jack Black. He just had a number-one Billboard Dance Club hit with "Put Your Phone Down (Low)" not to mention the wildly successful "Wild Ones" with Nicky Romero and Sia.
You could say that David Guetta paved the way for other superstar DJs like Avicii, Calvin Harris, Marshmello, and The Chainsmokers by elevating these folks not just from being a DJ or dance party promoters but to multi-talented artists in their own right.
It's with great love and respect for the man and his music that Party Favorz recognizes the very talented David Guetta with an induction into our Legacy series. There are a lot of memories built into this set and I fully expect a lot of you to fall back on your heels when you hear a lot of these older tracks again. 10 years ago was not that far back but many of these songs are now considered classics.
Because his output is so extensive, I attempted to culminate some of his early work with the majority of his biggest hits, which ultimately span two sets. Expect volume 2 to drop tomorrow. Until then...ENJOY!

Maroon 5: Celebrating Their Dance Music Contributions in Our Legacy Series

Meet Maroon 5, a pop-rock powerhouse led by frontman Adam Levine. Formed in 2001, the band quickly made a name for itself with its genre-defying hits and radio-friendly anthems. Comprising talented musicians across the board, Maroon 5 has continuously adapted to stay at the forefront of the music scene.
Maroon 5 made a powerful debut in 2002 with their rock track "Harder To Breathe," only to transition swiftly into softer rock hits like "This Love" and "She Will Be Loved." This versatility made them difficult to categorize but showcased their knack for creating radio-friendly hits. Though their next album featured the chart-topping "Makes Me Wonder," other singles didn't fare as well on the charts.
The real game-changer came with their third album's release, particularly the single "Moves Like Jagger." A remix featuring Christina Aguilera—Adam Levine's fellow judge on the hit show "The Voice"—catapulted the song to massive radio success, making it the biggest hit of the year. Maroon 5 continued to hone their craft, collaborating with prominent Hip Hop artists and embracing the zeitgeist, all while maintaining their pop-rock essence.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TpyyDW87NA
Their most significant impact may be on the dance music community. Many of their hits seamlessly transition to the dance floor, resulting in a plethora of official remixes, bootlegs, and samples. Thanks to their broad appeal and Adam Levine's high-profile presence on "The Voice," Maroon 5 has solidified their standing not just in popular music but on dance floors worldwide.
Yes, we did feature a sultry photo of Adam from a charity shoot, but let's be clear: Maroon 5's allure isn't solely about their frontman. It's the collective talent of the band as seasoned musicians and pop-rock virtuosos that steals the show. Adam is just the cherry on top.
For all these reasons, Party Favorz proudly celebrates Maroon 5's contributions to dance music through our esteemed Legacy series.

OneRepublic The Dance Legacy Series

OneRepublic, an American pop-rock band formed in Colorado Springs in 2002, found their initial fame on the now-obsolete MySpace platform. Comprising lead vocalist Ryan Tedder, guitarists Zach Filkins and Drew Brown, bassist and cellist Brent Kutzle, and drummer Eddie Fisher, the band embarked on an intriguing musical journey.
Initially signed to Velvet Hammer, a subsidiary of Columbia Records, they recorded their debut album "Dreaming Out Loud" in 2005. However, they were dropped by Columbia two months before the album's release. Although their first single "Apologize" gained traction on MySpace charts, it failed to gain broader recognition until renowned producer Timbaland stepped in. By remixing "Apologize" and featuring it on his "Shock Value" album, Timbaland propelled the song to international fame, including an eight-week stint atop Billboard's Pop 100 chart.
While OneRepublic found modest success on the pop charts, it was their aptitude for inspiring EDM remixes that truly set them apart. Their tracks effortlessly transitioned into epic anthems, akin to those produced by Coldplay and U2, both of whom also feature in our Legacy series.
Though they've only released four studio albums and sold over 10 million copies worldwide, OneRepublic hasn't quite received the level of respect enjoyed by some of their contemporaries. Their music often draws comparisons to iconic bands, which can be a double-edged sword. Being their own entity with a distinct style, OneRepublic has more to offer than just being "the next Coldplay" or "U2 Jr."
If you're a fan of emotionally charged, anthemic tunes and you trust Party Favorz to curate the best, this OneRepublic tribute is right up your alley. Even if you're unfamiliar with some of the tracks, you'll find yourself irresistibly singing along.
Recently, the band has been collaborating with standout DJs and producers like Kygo, Seeb, and Galantis, signaling a potentially exciting new chapter in their musical journey. We're eager to see where this takes them.
This installment of the Legacy series is just the beginning of more tributes to come. I've been enjoying this set non-stop, both in my car and on my phone, and I think you'll feel the same way.

Summer Leap! 2019

I spent most of the day yesterday slowly working on pulling this set together — that is when I wasn't going down the Twitter rabbit hole.
I have to say, it was difficult enough dealing with what amounts to radio edits for many of the official full-length mixes but there's a new twist in town. Certain DJswho will go unnamed have been cutting off the outro of their mixes. At first, I thought they were pulling the tracks from sets but the more I started to see it — the more I realized this was intentional. There's no breakdown just a slow repetitive plodding that never reaches a conclusion then all of a sudden just cuts off.
I don't know if this is some DJs thinking they are so beyond creating these mixes or if they want to challenge others to come up with creative ways of mixing in and out of the tracks. I don't use fancy mixing software that has a slew of effects for transitions and frankly — other than in a club (where most folks don't notice), I'm not a big fan of getting all cutesy with transitions unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise, they're just annoying and don't really display any skill on the part of the DJ. I liken it to a whole new generation of folks with short attention spans — but I'll digress.
I combed through the finished product an hour ago then mastered and encoded it. The end result is some of the finest dance club tracks already in your clubs and a whole bunch more that will soon be.
You'll also notice a bevy of classic tracks reworked for a new audience but with either different singers or the originals reprising their roles. No need to list the names as they will be very familiar to you just by reading the tracklist
Summer Leap is exactly what it implies. It's all the hottest dance-club hits that will take us well into summer.
We're in that stage where we go from cooler temps to summer-like temps to heavy rain and tornadoes, then cooler temps then back to warmer temps all in a month. This will continue through May before Summer finally gives in and things start heating up.
Of course, that doesn't stop Party Favorz from enacting our brand of global warming before the actual season fully kicks in. If it's still snowing, or cold and rainy where you're at — just know that summer is right around the corner and this set will put you in a better frame of mind. Until the next time...ENJOY!

Start the Party

Happy Friday to everyone! While we sit here under tornado and flash flood warnings — I decided to go ahead and drop the latest Peak Hour House Music set Start the Party.
I really worked this set-out and pulled from a variety of styles including Breaks, Drum & Bass, Techno, and of course the always-popular Tech House. Start the Party takes you on a journey through the underground house scene in what is likely one of my favorite sets in a long while in this series.
Keep in mind that the inclusion of Frank Wah's "Get Me High," which is a repeat from Rave Machine is not an error. Even though the track itself feels incomplete and I had to rework the ending, it's one of my favorite tracks at the moment.
In other news, I realize there have been some issues with the site not fully loading and the download links not working as expected. I made some late-night corrections that are in the process of propagating throughout the system. In most cases, they're likely finished but in other parts of the world may take a little more time.
If you get a page with the logo and the contact information at the bottom but empty posts, try clearing your browser's cache (not your passwords) and refreshing the page by hitting F5.
If the download link doesn't work automatically and takes you to another page with a different audio player — click on the three dots to the right of the player and the episode should download automatically.
Equally, you can right-click the download link and click "save as" and it should also download directly.
As I said, I'm aware of these issues and have already implemented the fixes — they just need a little time to correct themselves worldwide. If you're still having issues by tomorrow, please reach out to me via the contact section of the site or Instant Messenger and I'll see what I can do. Just know that I appreciate every bit of feedback I receive to ensure things work as expected.
In the interim, enjoy this fantastic set of Peak Hour House Music. This one is for the adventurous folks. Until the next time...ENJOY!

A Night To Remember

Never one to set on my laurels, Party Favorz pulls yet another set out of my ass which sets the stage for your upcoming pool parties and summer fun. With a combination of House Music, Funky House, Jackin House, and NuDisco — A Night To Remember accomplished that in spades.
Too soon to talk about summer where you live? Never worry, it's on its way and hopefully, this and a tanning bed will put you in the right frame of mind.
There are loads of familiar samples in this set and I went out of my way to diversify the offerings to keep things interesting. As usual, the requisite sample of Loleatta Holloway's disco classic "Love Sensation" is included. I tell you folks — this is likely the most sampled track of all time. Imagine the pile her estate could have made had she and Dan Hartman owned the rights to that one song they did for Salsoul. It's like the song that keeps on giving as more and more DJs find creative uses for it.
Speaking of Loleatta Holloway — I have it on very good authority that a certain superstar DJ collective is considering re-working a torch ballad of hers for the dancefloor. The hard part is re-arranging the track and the next part is finding someone willing to fill Loleatta's shoes. They're out there (Marth Wash comes to mind) but cost a lot of money. Nevertheless, I had floated the idea and they were definitely on board. I won't say what track it is other than it was originally written and performed by Sam Dees. Don't want to give out too much more because these guys are super-busy and there's no guarantee they'll be able to pull it off. We'll see.
That's all I got for what's turning out to be a nice spring day. I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend and as always...ENJOY!
