Winter Edition 2019 | The Hottest Circuit Tribal House of the Winter!

Given the erratic weather we've been experiencing,  the title is a bit misleading. Last week we were in a deep freeze for several days followed by unseasonably warm weather. Now, things have tamped down a bit with cooler temps but it feels more like spring a whole month before we normally would. For now, we'll just pretend it's winter because it most definitely is in certain parts of the country and the world. Maybe, I'll start calling these the Global Warming edition as it relates to each edition in this series LOL.
In the interim, here at Party Favorz it's time to get this party started! Finally kicking the year off, I'm dropping the hottest collection of Circuit Tribal House music that's buzzing RIGHT NOW!
It takes me a while to move into a different mindset after my entire focus had been trying to overhaul the site. Now that everything has been completed to my satisfaction, I can safely declare that I am back in the saddle again. GIDDYUP!
In an ongoing effort to play catch-up, I've scheduled the next EDM Dance Club, Funky Disco House, and Underground House sets to drop over the next several weeks. I've got a great idea for a final 80s dance compilation; a very specific genre that's often overlooked from the decade and possibly some updates to past Diva Hall of Fame entries that need some refreshing. Just so you know, I'm thinking ahead.
For now, I'm sure all the boys have been itching for something new to fuel their workouts in anticipation of looking the best they can for early spring. The Winter Edition 2019 will do just that.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Blow Your Own Horn 2019

Party Favorz is back with the ultimate New Year's dance party mix, Blow Your Own Horn 2019.  This annual series started back in 2013 as a showcase of some of the finest bootlegs, mashups, and party tracks from the year as well as years past. It's meant to be one final kiss-off to the year that was welcoming in the new year to come. Over the years it's evolved into a massive set with some of the best party tracks from the past making it the must-have set for those celebrating with friends closer to home.
I have been bogged down this past week troubleshooting issues with the credit card payment processor for donations. I've since disabled it and pushed it out to the new year. If there's one thing folks that follow this podcast know about me is that I'm anal about every minor detail. This isn't so minor, and it really irritates the hell out of me when I pay $$$ for things that don't work, and the developer blames it on another developer's plugin, or my theme, or anything but them. I've performed all the standard troubleshooting to no avail, and they won't be able to help until after the 1st. That being said, you can still donate using the PayPal option, which also accepts credit cards if you don't have an account.
My focus had to be getting this final set out in time. As you can see, I'm a day late and a dollar short but the wait is worth it. Blow Your Own Horn 2019 was way harder than previous efforts. I don't know if it was because I was multi-tasking two completely separate things or that I'm worn out after running a marathon of mixes since Late October.
While I have not previewed the entire set yet, what I have heard so far has left me pleased. I think ya'll are really gonna love this!
2018 has been a tough slog trying to get through the daily minutia and Individual 1's constant barrage of self-serving lies, I mean tweets on a continual basis. Life is much easier when you don't follow much news or politics, but willful ignorance also leaves us without the knowledge to fight for change.
At the beginning of 2018, I originally planned on shutting down Party Favorz, but I persisted and forged on. I'm glad I did.
Frankly, I run this site by the seat of my pants coming up with one idea after another. Many of you have made suggestions for sets that I ultimately tackle, while others need more consideration. Regardless, it's a group effort, and I appreciate the input.
For now, I plan to keep the doors open at least through mid-April when my hosting expires. If I create a fundraiser for renewing my host, then you know I'm in it for the long haul. That has yet to be determined.
In the interim, I want to thank EVERYBODY from the bottom of my heart that donating to my efforts to bring you what I think is the best (or at least one of the best) dance music podcast that is going into its 12th year. Your loyalty means more to me than I can possibly express.
I hope everyone has a fun and safe New Year. I'll be back sometime in mid to late January with brand-new sets and a whole new look. Until then...ENJOY!
I just spent the last two hours troubleshooting issues with Wordpress that wouldn't allow me to post. Obviously, it's been resolved but you kinda get an idea as to the fresh hell I go through on a regular basis through no fault of my own. SMDH.

Top Dance Songs of 2018 Volume 3

Stepping back into the vibrant world of dance music for the year that was, let's explore the Top Dance Songs of 2018 that took the music scene by storm. This year marked a resurgence of Legacy artists, who contributed some of the most memorable dance club hits and carved a niche on our list of Top Dance Songs of 2018.
Prominent artists like Toni Braxton, Barbara Tucker, Crystal Waters, Donna Summer, and Diana Ross were particularly influential. Diana Ross's spectacular performance saw her clinching two number-one spots on the dance charts. However, our final selection of Top Dance Songs of 2018 included only her melodious rendition of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", while her "I'm Coming Out/Upside Down" medley, despite its conceptual appeal, was omitted due to less-than-stellar execution.
The year 2018 wasn't just about well-established names, though. Several artists like Dua Lipa, Cardi B, and Camila Cabello, who had broken into the limelight the previous year, continued to enjoy significant success. However, the year didn't birth any major new talents. While Ariana Grande and Demi Lovato had their fair share of successful releases, on the whole, the year's offerings were somewhat underwhelming.
The true heroes of the Top Dance Songs of 2018 were the DJs. Veterans like Eric Kupper, MK, StoneBridge, Barry Harris, and Dave Aude ensured dance music enthusiasts had plenty to groove to. David Guetta, now a legend in the industry, released a series of successful tracks that year. Similarly, Tiesto continued to demonstrate his relentless creativity and passion for music.
However, the Top Dance Songs of 2018 also had fresh names asserting their presence. Jonas Blue, Marshmello, and Zedd made people around the world move to their infectious beats, with Zedd claiming the coveted title of 'Song of the Year' with his hit "The Middle". Another promising talent, Purple Disco Machine, was the harbinger of a potential modern-day disco revival.
Calvin Harris, one of the most prodigious artists in the industry, perfectly encapsulated the state of EDM in 2018. Responding to a fan's query about his return to EDM, Harris stated, "EDM has been sad, slow songs for years now, doesn't have anything in common with the music I love to make. 2010-2014 EDM was more house-influenced to me. Anyway now I’m out the bubble and making big records with amazing singers that sound like house music to me."
The essence of his statement reflects the evolution of dance music since its inception in the late '70s. Despite the rise of genres like Reggaeton, Moonbatan, and Trap, many music lovers still crave the energetic, uplifting music that inspires them to dance – the kind that made it to our list of Top Dance Songs of 2018.
Stay tuned for more rhythmic delights, as our year-end party set, "Blow Your Own Horn 2019," is due for release soon. Until then, take a deep dive into the Top Dance Songs of 2018 and let the music guide your steps. Dance on!

Top Dance Songs of 2018 Volume 2

Immerse yourself in a musical journey through the past as we present the Top Dance Songs of 2018. Party Favorz is taking you on a trip down memory lane, recalling the unforgettable hits that dominated the dance music scene. Party 2 of our year-end dance retrospective further enhances this musical extravaganza by including more of the year's most influential club hits!
A curious query arose from one of our followers recently regarding the usage of radio edits in our mixes. The response, initially simplistic, turned out to be more complex than a straightforward 'yes' or 'no'. The reality lies somewhere in the middle, so let's dive deeper.
In the era of streaming services, dance music, like most genres, is becoming increasingly influenced by this shift, especially by platforms like Spotify. This trend arguably took root in 2009 when Mariah Carey's album, "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel", was extensively remixed by Jump Smokers, leading to a collection of dance radio edits rather than full-length dance tracks. While these tracks were not DJ-friendly, it signaled the beginning of a trend for shorter, more condensed "dance remixes".
As we fast forward to the year 2018, a significant proportion of remixes adopted this shorter format. The reason? Streaming platforms operate in a similar vein to traditional radio stations, providing on-demand music without the ads, and they favor quick, accessible listens before moving onto the next track. Extended intros and outros don't fit this model, and hence the shift towards more condensed tracks.
This evolution posed a challenge for DJs, stuck between delivering popular songs and preserving the art of mixing. The solution is a delicate balance, combining the shorter edits with longer dance remixes to maintain a seamless flow. Although this approach might dampen the traditional joy of mixing, it offers a practical way forward, especially for the future of remixing like on the Top Dance Songs of 2018.
This shift towards 'Spotify-ready' music is not universal, however. Genres like Tech House, Funky House, and Circuit-Tribal music still release full-length dance tracks.
Another interesting trend observed in 2018 was the emergence of labels focused on producing dance music tailored for streaming platforms like Spotify or Apple Music. Their business model is based on the number of streams generated rather than music sales. This approach has led to the creation of some excellent dance tracks that, sadly, may never grace club DJ decks, despite being included in the list of Top Dance Songs of 2018.
Despite these developments, platforms like Spotify still restrict the inclusion of dance music podcasts, like Party Favorz. Even though these podcasts offer a unique, non-stop music experience that complements their curated playlists, they remain absent from these platforms. Allowing such content could generate additional revenue streams for artists and publishers, and broaden the variety of music available to listeners.
As Party Favorz enters its 12th year of delivering high-quality dance music podcasts, it would be beneficial to gain recognition from leading players in the streaming industry. With an impressive five million streams or downloads globally and a solid listener base even without social promotion, it's clear that our selection of Top Dance Songs of 2018, and indeed every year, resonate with music lovers worldwide.
I'll be back tomorrow with the final installment of the Top Dance Songs of 2018. Until then...ENJOY!

Top Dance Songs of 2018 Volume 1

Delve into the dynamic dance music landscape of the Top Dance Songs of 2018, featuring the most invigorating and pulse-quickening Dance Club hits of the year! For newcomers to this series, the Top Dance Songs of the Year is a compilation of the biggest dance songs from various music spectrums from the preceding year.
Party Favorz curates this unique collection, amalgamating tracks from Billboard's Year-End Charts for Dance Club Songs, Hot Dance/Electronic Songs, and remixed versions from the Hot 100 Songs that typically don't chart. We also include personal favorites that have left a significant impression over the year. Previously, Beatport charts were used for this process, but they seem to have discontinued their year-end summaries.
Reflecting on the year, 2018 did not leave an indelible mark in the dance music scene as one might have hoped. A considerable fraction of the year's top dance hits actually peaked in 2017, hence the Top Dance Songs of 2018 list includes tracks from the previous year as well. Iconic examples like "Something Just Like This" by The Chainsmokers & Coldplay, "Silence" by Marshmello featuring Khalid, "It Ain't Me" by Kygo x Selena Gomez appear on the year-end charts, suggesting that the new releases perhaps lacked the resonant appeal of their predecessors.
Looking at the broader trend, dance music seemed to lean heavily on trends that have already reached their zenith of popularity. From the Deep House frenzy of 2015 evolving into Future House and anthemic tunes, to the current fascination with Moombahton's slow, rolling beats — a style rooted in Latinx music, dance music trends of 2018 seem to lack originality. Even Reggaeton and Trap music, once fresh and exciting, now seem to have overstayed their welcome, with little indication of what the next big trend could be.
As we take stock of the Top Dance Songs of 2018, it's clear that the music industry needs to address some systemic issues. Billboard's charts, for instance, require a revamp to avoid single artists monopolizing chart positions with album releases, a phenomenon exacerbated by the inclusion of streaming service data. This over-saturation dilutes the diversity and quality of charting music.
Despite these challenges, dance music in 2018 wasn't entirely without merit. The underground scene continues to thrive and there's an increasing yearning for a resurgence of Disco (NuDisco) and Funk. Given the tumultuous and uncertain times we live in, these feel-good genres could provide the much-needed escape and joy we all crave.
As we look ahead, we'll explore the 'Spotification' of dance music in our next piece, followed by a deep dive into the key DJs/Producers/Remixers who left their mark on the Top Dance Songs of 2018, and the potential path forward for the genre. For now, sit back, press play, and relish the rhythmic journey that was 2018.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

A Very Funky House X-Mas

As promised, Party Favorz is delivering a surprise set of funky house music grooves to help get you through the holidays! A Very Funky House X-Mas arrives just in time for those that need a spiritual boost during what can be a trying time for many. Bad sweaters, eggnog, fruitcake, unruly family members who support Trump...yes, all these things tend to distract us from what is supposed to be a time for celebration and the gathering of family and friends.
I always looked forward to this time of year as our family would go to the Momo and Boonpa's house, a couple of smoking, drinking, and poker-playing rabble-rousers, who made get-togethers fun. Since their death many years ago, the extended family has fractured and pretty much gone their own ways. Now that my father passed earlier this year, things just aren't the same anymore. With my sister and mother living in Dallas and me in Atlanta, it's all the more depressing. Then again, Rick and I have our quiet celebration of sorts and sometimes spend it with friends, but even then, it's just not the same.
Regardless, we all have our own way of connecting during this time of year (or not), so Party Favorz is here to help you along and hopefully put a little jingle in your step and a smile on your face.
A Very Funky House X-Mas consists of Funky Disco House Music, Soulful, Deep House and some Classic Disco reworks. Remember I had dropped three tracks from the Jingle Electric 2018 that I was torn over. Well, I got them worked back in with a bevy of brand-spanking new tracks, which I think you'll be delighted with.
As a reminder, the Year In Dance is being pushed out to the first two weeks of January. I've already started compiling the tracklist and am trying out something a little different this year. Just know that it's still coming. That being said, the Blow Your Own Horn 2019, which is the annual year-end non-stop, roof-raising party mix is still on schedule for release right after Christmas. Though I haven't started working on it yet, it's a tradition around here that I'm not about to relinquish.
Once again, I want to thank Anthony S. for his over-the-top generous donation! Party Favorz has currently reached 85% of my year-end goal. Feel free to chip in and help me reach that goal so I can continue to provide the outstanding podcasts that fuel your everyday life!
I just set up a Content Delivery Network (CDN) for the site that will speed up load times in Europe, Australia, Asia, and South America. It may take several hours to fully propagate, so be patient if things are moving a bit slow in the meantime.
I will be back shortly after Christmas with the final blow-out of the year. Until then...Have a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hannakauh, or Happy Holiday! There's a celebration somewhere waiting to be had.
ENJOY!!!

Holiday Edition 2018

I figured I'd get a jump on things and drop an unexpected surprise for you folks next week in its stead. Party Favorz decided to bring the party indoors and is releasing the annual Holiday Edition a week early!
The Holiday Edition 2018 is chock-full of the biggest Circuit Tribal House music blowing up at the moment. In addition to a brand-spanking new track from the one and only Barbra Streisand, inspired by the current administration and the occupation by individual 1 in OUR HOUSE, there are two more tracks from the soundtrack and its companion "The Greatest Showman," which is turning out to be the gift that keeps on giving.
To boot, we've got the #1 Billboard Dance Club track and the #1Top 100 song of the moment, "Breathin'" and "Thank You, Next" by Ariana Grande, a slew of new Lady Gaga tracks off of the " A Star Is Born" soundtrack mixed by Barry Harris, a tribute mix to Queen "Under Pressure" who are defying all odds with $487.5 million in ticket sales for their biopic "Bohemian Rhapsody," which I'm dying to see, as well as several throwbacks.
In that category, Barry Harris "refreshed" the Weather Girls classic "It's Raining Men" that keeps the original intact but adds a lot of oomph, making it perfect for big room events. Susu Bobien has faithfully recreated the Loleatta Holloway classic "Love Sensation," while Jeanie Tracy takes a turn on the Sylvester classic "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)," both of which are currently climbing the dance charts.
While I can't discuss every track I do want to make a couple of noteworthy mentions: Dirty Disco shreds Anggun's latest "The Good Is Back" turning it into a massive floor-filler that should be picked up for every DJ's arsenal. You'll also notice that I included Kendra Erika's remake of the Laura Branigan classic "Self Control" after slamming it in my last post. The Ralphi Rosario and Erick Ibiza club mix allows Erika's vocals to shine and the production value is more palatable than the Dirty Werk version I was using. My apologies to Kendra.
I want to give a BIG shoutout to Ludovic D. for his generous donation. If you haven't donated yet, please consider making a contribution towards my efforts. There is no amount too big or small that will be accepted.
I hope everyone's having nicer weather than we are in the south and gearing up for the holidays. I'll be back next week. with that surprise, I mentioned earlier. Until then...ENJOY!

Jingle Electric 2018

It's that time a year again, where Party Favorz delivers one final massive Dance Club set of the latest hits currently on your radar or soon will be.
In keeping with tradition, I like to use a vintage holiday-themed pin-up girl for the artwork of which there appears to be no shortage. Don't hate on me for using something many would consider sexist. I'm just a big fan of all types of vintage advertisements and especially the ones geared towards gay men, which I find hilarious (given the obvious nature of the ads and the time that they were released).
Jingle Electric 2018 expands on the direction I've been moving the Dance-Club series in but takes it even further. Let's face it, I don't want to hear a couple of hours of the same-old thinned out female (or male) voices over a drab reggaeton or EDM beat over and over until everything becomes blurred, any more than I want to hear back to back Trap songs that all sound the same. YAWN!
This time around, I'm delivering the hits along with some under the radar tracks that are either independent or on small labels and that don't necessarily get the exposure they deserve but are seriously worth a spin. I took this further and included tracks that would normally reside on one of my Underground House or Funky Disco House sets to break things up.
Since I typically don't release these types of sets past November and was sitting on some really solid tracks that I was itching to use, I dropped them in. The end result...is nothing short of FABULOUS!
So, if you're go-to genre is the Dance-Club series and you haven't been paying attention to the other two categories, get prepared to get schooled. By dropping a variety of genres in that include commercial dance-club tracks along with some Tech and Funky House, you're in for a real treat that you never knew you wanted; that is, until now.
You'll also notice (depending on your age or musical knowledge) that about a 1/3 of the songs are either classics tracks remade or heavily sample them to create something totally new. I was going to list them all for you, but there are really so many, it would take up an entire page to list everything and their origins. Just know, there is a bevy of '80s and '90s influences contained herein as well as '70s and even early millennium. As I've always said, what's old is new again.
There is one group that I do want to put on everyone's radar (especially if you're a fan of Indie Rock music like I am) is Bang Bang Romeo, who's remixed track "Bag Of Bones" is included in this set. The promos showed up in one of my music services and I was just blown away! I checked out a couple of their videos and this group has got the goods. The centerpiece of BBR is powerhouse vocalist Anastasia Walker backed by Ross Cameron (guitars) and Richard Gartland (drums) who provide a true garage experience. The music is sharp, insightful, and well-written and I fully expect bigger things for them when their first full album drops next year. For now, you can pick up their EP on iTunes or stream it on Spotify. I have no relation with this group, their label or their management. I just love to promote damn good music.
I want to give a HUGE shout out to Lynn H, Glenn A., Mike M., Gene R., and especially Anthony S. for their generous donations. You are all very much appreciated! 
With all that said, I'm in the process of putting together this year's final Circuit Tribal House set for the annual Holiday Edition. Expect that to drop sometime next week before I start rolling out the Year In Dance for 2018 featuring the year's biggest dance club hits! As you can see, we still have a long way to go and this year ain't even over yet.
Until the next time...ENJOY!
After being stuck in traffic earlier for hours and having the opportunity to really preview this set, I decided to go back and make some edits. A total of five songs have been removed from the original post; 4 were outstanding funky house tracks that ...

X-Mas Dance 2K18 | The Essential Christmas Dance Mix

I see many of you have already been hitting up on last year's X-Mas Dance Mix. FYI, all past Christmas dance mixes are still available on the site by clicking here. I've been holding out for some new entries and only three came through. Out of those, only one was worth adding.
I was so looking forward to Dirty Disco's release this year that when it dropped, I was disappointed if not severely heartbroken. I was hoping they'd do a remake of the Weather Girls classic "Dear Santa (Bring Me A Man This Christmas)" which is so up their alley. Unfortunately, they put out a lackluster dance mix of "Last Christmas" by Brenda Reed, which is not some of her best work, so I took a pass and brought back the Young Divas version of "Dear Santa" and a George Michael bootleg of "Last Christmas."
I kept this year's entry tight and remastered several older mixes to bring them up to today's standards. While many of the tracks have been recycled from previous efforts, isn't that what Christmas music is all about? That is, hearing your favorite tunes year after year by your favorite artists and never getting sick of them. Throw in a few newbies or alternate versions and you got yourself a little holiday party rocking around the Christmas tree.
I for one never get sick of hearing the Eagles take on "Please Come Home For Christmas", or the Pretenders' version of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," or even U2's "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)." These are just a couple of my personal favorites.
At the end of the day, many of the major artists who do release updated versions of holiday classics, typically don't invest in commissioning dance mixes for those tunes. The last major ones we've gotten were from Kelly Clarkson, Mariah Carey, and Leona Lewis which are included here. Even then, that was several years ago.
That's unfortunate because there really IS a yearning for these tracks to be remixed.
That being said, I am NOT about to ruin your holiday season by not creating some holiday magic for my followers. Who am I to scrooge you out of the most wonderful time of the year?
As many of you know, I am an atheist but even I don't allow that to get in the way of enjoying the music I grew up with, and in a genre that lifts my spirits. Therefore, once again into the bleach, Party Favorz presents X-Mas Dance 2K18, the Ultimate Non-stop Christmas Dance Mix... ENJOY!

Cher 2018 | The Diva Series

Cher is a woman who requires no introduction. For 60 years, the DIVA has been a multi-talented singer, actress, and businesswoman that has accumulated an accolade of awards from Grammy's, Oscars, Emmy, and Golden Globes and was recently honored by the Kennedy Center. Her contribution to pop culture cannot be understated.
Recently, she gave a sit-down interview to the Washington Post that is worth the read.
The woman is an active Twitter user with her own unique style of tweeting her political points of view and disgust with the current administration.
For us gay men, we love her precisely because of who she is and what she represents. Cher is the epitome of a true DIVA and is the gift that keeps on giving.
With her recent turn in the movie musical "Mama Mia! Here We Go Again," she honored us with her rendition of the classic ABBA tunes "Fernando" and "Super Trouper." Inspired to cover more classic ABBA tracks, she went on to release a full album of classics by the Swedish pop group adored by many (including this writer) from around the world. The album was critically acclaimed with its debut landing at #3 on the Billboard Top 200 as well as #1 in Top Album Sales Chart (a best for her lengthy career).
Enter Barry Harris and his devotion to the queen. He has magically re-imagined many of these tracks from her new release "Dancing Queen" and Party Favorz has mixed them in with some of Cher's most iconic songs during her decades of music recording, culminating into one giant Cher wet dream for the true believers.
It is with great honor and respect that Party Favorz once again inducts the fabulous Cher into the Diva Hall of Fame. ENJOY!

Explore Classic Disco Grooves with Trash Disco’s Ultimate Collection Volume 7

Steep yourself into the golden era of music with the 'Ultimate Collection of Trash Disco Volume 7', a sweeping anthology of timeless classic disco grooves. Unveiling an extensive list of 222 hits, this ultimate collection covers 20 hours+ of both chart-topping Disco favorites and hidden gems. This anthology encompasses the broad spectrum of classic disco grooves, although, regrettably, the iconic track "Macho Man" by the Village People there was no worthy edit at the time of this release.
Navigating through a labyrinth of high BPM counts and percussive-heavy anthems, the mixing of the final set presented a unique challenge. Nevertheless, it showcases fan-favorite classic disco grooves like "(You Make Me Feel) Mighty Real" by Sylvester and France Joli's soulful "Come To Me." Despite their challenging nature, these songs synergize perfectly within the grandiose collection.
Highlights include Amii Stewart's invigorating remake of the Eddie Floyd classic "Knock On Wood" and the contagious rhythms of "Lovin' Is Really My Game" by Brainstorm. Experience the weather forecast like never before with The Weather Girls' jubilant "It's Raining Men" and find joy in the uplifting "H.A.P.P.Y. Radio" by Edwin Starr. Other masterpieces like Arpeggio's "Love And Desire" and Musique's NSFW "In The Bush" (which got me in hot water with Sister Phyllis when I passed a note to a girl with the lyrics that I didn't understand in 6th grade) pay tribute to the extraordinary depth and diversity of classic disco grooves.
From the vibrant beats of Patrick Hernandez's "Born To Be Alive" to the infectious energy of "Boogie Woogie Dancin' Shoes" by Claudja Barry, every track serves as a testament to disco's indelible impact on the landscape of music history.
Get ready to embark on a nostalgic journey filled with the best classic disco grooves, where each beat, rhythm, and melody conjures up the magic of a bygone era.
If you enjoyed this series, consider checking out the Thank God It's Disco collection for reworks and modern-day versions of many of these songs.
