Sweat on the Floor Volume 1

What happens when you accidentally combine all of your funky house music tracks with the underground house music tracks? Obviously, you get Sweat on the Floor!
While sorting out the tracks for upcoming sets, I mixed in these two genres and proceeded to start a new Underground House (Deep Edition) set that sounded funkier than usual. Once I realized what I had done, I just let it flow and presto, this set was born.
Doing this allowed me to create an entirely new feel that leans heavily on the funky with some deep and dark tunes with a groovy feel. It also provided me the opportunity to heavily experiment with mashups that worked flawlessly. Either I got lucky or this could be an entirely new direction for this series.
Then again, I really want to slow the beats down to 115-118 BPM for the next funky house and whip up a chill set for the next Deep Edition; so I'll play it by ear.
Until next week...ENJOY!

Whitney Houston Revisited: A Heartfelt Tribute Mix Celebrating Dancefloor Diva Magic

When you talk about vocal powerhouses who've dazzled the world, Whitney Houston is the diva who instantly comes to mind. Her voice, a stunning blend of range and emotion, has been an irreplaceable part of our musical fabric. What makes Whitney even more remarkable is how her iconic songs were brilliantly reimagined for the dance floor that have kept us on our feet time and time again. Today, we at Party Favorz are elevating this adoration to the next level with an updated tribute mix.
As we approached the close of 2017, I found myself reflecting on the incredible support from our donors, contributors, and engaged community. Your involvement is the sole reason I've committed to another year of bringing quality dance music to the masses. To express our gratitude, we've assembled a thank-you mix centered around Whitney Houston to usher in a vibrant 2018.
The initial plan was to create an entirely new set of remixes, but after a few listens, it felt uninspiring. Some of the newer remixes didn't add any unique layers to the originals; they felt formulaic and out of sync. So, I pivoted, replacing the lackluster remixes with a blend of the timeless originals that have made Whitney's songs the classics they are. The aim was to rejuvenate the initial tribute while incorporating contemporary insights into the mix, without losing the magic that makes these songs stand out.
This project was no walk in the park. Compiling this tribute mix took nearly two weeks of diligent work. And truth be told, by the time I completed it just yesterday, the thought of spending another hour and 40 minutes scrutinizing the mix was exhausting. That said, I meticulously edited the songs and believe that the compilation is technically sound—here's hoping it resonates with you as well.
If this mix doesn't quite capture your imagination, feel free to enjoy our original Whitney Houston Tribute from 2009, which still holds its own. But for now, as we welcome a new year, here's to wishing everyone a marvelous and energetic 2018.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Blow Your Own Horn 2018

Blow Your Own Horn 2018 has finally arrived and it's the ultimate hell-raising dance party mix!
Folks, I've busted my ass putting this final set of the year together, which consists of bootlegs, mashups, a lot of bounce interspersed with the familiar as well as brand-spanking-new tunes that will carry into the new year.
There is also a smattering of old classics reworked for today's dancefloors that are sure to surprise and delight! If this doesn't raise your temperature and get your blood boiling, then you might want to check for a pulse because it's likely you're dead.
Final thoughts on 2017:
Once again, this has proven to be a difficult year in which Party Favorz continues to transition. Granted, I never expected to get 10 years into this yet here I am.
It's become painfully clear that this podcast poses a problem with my being able to obtain gainful employment. Two of the rejection letters I received cited that my "current interests do not align with the position I was seeking." They might as well say that my interests don't align with the culture of their company because it comes across more that way. Frankly, if your company has a Trumpist culture, I don't really want to work there as I wouldn't be a good fit. d
Another recent interview was oddly informal and the HR person kept going on about how qualified I was for the position. After receiving yet another rejection email from them, I'm starting to think I may also be over-qualified for the positions I've been seeking. In that case, I'm thinking about using a headhunter on Monday to see if my prospects will fare better.
That still leaves open one position I applied for at Home Depot that I am so qualified for and really interested in that it makes my head hurt. I still haven't heard back from them but I'll assume the worse case scenario.
This leaves the fate of Party Favorz. Closing the site all together has been weighing heavily on my mind. The amount of time and cost I put into this is enormous and relying on donations just doesn't come close to covering my monthly (nor yearly) expenses. Continuing the site at the cost of permanent employment is an additional factor in my considerations. Frankly, I am torn.
What started out as a hobby and a passion of mine has turned into a fulltime job and apparently a major liability in my pursuit of self-fulfillment, happiness, and prosperity.
Madonna recently announced she was working on a new album and tour in honor of the 35th anniversary of the self-titled release of her first album. If she's working on what I'd hope she would do, which is to come full-circle and go back to the fun early 80's dance-disco infused sound, which is all the rage at the moment, I'd be onboard. Since I don't know what's she has planned, I've made the decision to go all-in for one more year. It just seems fitting that I tie in the final year of Party Favorz with the anniversary of our much beloved and number one inductee into the Diva Hall of Fame.
That being said, it's highly likely I'll shut down the main website for Party Favorz and just run everything off of my host's platform at Podbean. That address is currently at https://partyfavorz.podbean.com/
I'll have to go back and hand-code the site to get the look and feel of the current one as best I can, which is more work for me but it will lower my costs dramatically. The negative aspect of it is that it will lower my ranking in Google search as Podbean is a relatively closed environment. If I do this, I will also have no choice but to institute a subscription-based model.
I've already blocked the Diva Hall of Fame, Legacy, Gay Pride, and Year in Dance (Top Dance Club Song 2010 - present) sections of the site in anticipation of the move and will be slowly implementing the blocks through the rest of the site through the end of the year. It's not something I want to do but frankly, I just don't see any choice in the matter.

Top Dance Songs of 2017 Volume 3

As we conclude our journey through the Top Dance Songs of 2017, let's take a moment to delve deeper into this comprehensive series. For those unfamiliar, each year, Party Favorz curates a collection of what we believe to be the most pivotal dance music tunes. We focus on songs that hold significance in the evolving landscape of dance music, both within mainstream pop culture and the vibrant underground dance music scene. These are the tracks that have been championed by the most influential DJs, from professional pioneers to ambitious amateurs, who have left indelible marks on the electronic dance music landscape.
The Top Dance Songs of the Year series took root in 2007, coinciding with the launch of this blog. However, our passion for dance music drove us to delve even further into the past, leading to the creation of compilations dating back an additional decade. Each annual collection, comprising 3-5 comprehensive sets, is a time capsule of the dance music trends and hits of that year. We strongly advise storing the compilations that best mirror your personal dance music journey. In 10 - 20 years, these collections could serve as invaluable musical memoirs of your past.
Our expansive content library here at Party Favorz occasionally prompts us to randomly revisit older material from our current Top 20. As a morning person, I recently queued up Top Dance Songs of 2014 Volume 1 on a car drive, allowing the rhythms of the past to accompany my wait for the day's news shows. The trip down memory lane was a delightful reminder of how enduring these tracks truly are. Whether you follow this suggestion or not is entirely your choice but you can thank me later.
Currently, I am refining our ultimate year-end New Year dance party mix, Blow Your Own Horn, to ensure it hits all the right notes. With three different versions already in the works, the final output may well be a fusion of the best elements from each. Anticipate an early release, allowing me some respite to regain a sense of normality as the year draws to a close.
The exploration of the Top Dance Songs of 2017 seems to have resonated with you, as reflected in the encouraging response we've received. We'll be back in a week or so with the final dance music extravaganza of the year.
Until then... ENJOY!

Top Dance Songs of 2017 Volume 2

Drown yourself in the vibrant club sounds of 2017 as we delve into the Top Dance Songs of 2017. Despite any prior skepticism about the dance music landscape this year, it brought to the forefront an array of musical masterpieces. Many songs, predominantly from the Electronic Dance Music (EDM) genre, were beautifully transformed by remixes that elevated their original's charm, expanding their reach and longevity in the dance music arena. Standout examples include Dua Lipa's "Be the One," Rihanna's "Love On the Brain," and the superb collaboration of Flume and Tove Lo's "Say It," alongside a personal favorite, "Issues" by Julia Michaels.
2017 introduced us to a wave of promising new artists contributing to the Top Dance Songs of 2017, their longevity and impact yet to be fully assessed. At the forefront was Dua Lipa, who soared to stardom backed by Warner Brothers, becoming an absolute sensation with her stunning looks, captivating vocals, and compelling lyrics. Similarly, Julia Michaels showed immense promise, especially with her standout track "Issues," potentially giving the likes of Ellie Goulding serious competition in the future.
Other artists who proved their mettle outside their multi-platinum bands were Niall Horan, with hits like "This Town," "Slow Hands" and Camila Cabello, with tracks "Crying in the Club," "Havana". However, for debut artists like Cardi B. ("Bodak Yellow") and Luis Fonsi ("Despacito"), whose first singles were chartbusters, maintaining that level of success could prove challenging.
We also extend our hearty applause to Kesha, who with the release of her album "Rainbow", apart from Dr. Luke, demonstrated her raw talent and versatility as an artist. Her Grammy nominations for Best Pop Solo Album and Best Pop Solo Performance are well-deserved.
There's so much to cover when discussing the Top Dance Songs of 2017, but to avoid overloading you with information, we'll reserve more insights for our next installment. Stay tuned for the third part of the Top Dance Songs of 2017 coming this Friday.
Until then...ENJOY!

Top Dance Songs of 2017 Volume 1

Welcome to our year-end round-up featuring the biggest dance songs of the year, where Party Favorz reflects on the Top Dance Songs of 2017, curated by your humble host. The compilation isn't just focused on chart successes, but also looks into tunes gaining popularity with DJs and our personal favorites. Despite the diverse spectrum of house music styles, the broader EDM scene has been relatively static in recent years.
There's a sense of déjà vu; first, it was the commercial exploitation of Deep House around 2015, which later morphed into Future House, leaving Deep House to retreat back into its tranquil, melodic roots. Concurrently, the Big Room Anthems or EDM with its signature drops, popularized by the likes of Axwell Λ Ingrosso, Alesso, and David Guetta, became a trend. More recently, the Reggaeton sound, sparked off by Major Lazer & DJ Snake's mega hit "Lean On," has become the beat to chase.
Interestingly, the pace of beats has slowed, and songs resemble radio edits more than extended plays, reflective of the dwindling attention spans of today's house music fans. A significant concern is the over-processing and manipulation of vocal tracks, often diminishing the natural talent of the singers.
The industry's focus on quick returns rather than investing in artist growth is a significant issue today. Nevertheless, this compilation, Top Dance Songs of 2017, endeavors to sift through the music maze to present the crème de la crème or songs that personally resonate with dance music lovers. With over 200 songs to choose from, creating this compilation was no easy task. These next three episodes represent our picks for the best dance music of the year.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

X-mas Dance Mix 2K17 | The Ultimate Christmas Dance Mix!

Surprise! As Party Favorz winds down our 10th year, I found myself with some extra time and decided to pull together that one killer holiday dance set that I felt I had not yet achieved. X-mas Dance Mix 2K17 achieves that goal and more.
Pulling together my favorite seasonal dance classics like Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas," Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas," Christine Aguilera's "The Christmas Song," and Kristine W's "Oh Holy Night" while adding a couple of new mixes like Dirty Disco & Jeanie Tracy's "Santa Baby," and George Michael's (a.k.a. Wham!) "Last Christmas" coupled with smooth transitions that are really hard to achieve on a mix of songs like these, you have the makings of the ULTIMATE holiday dance mix or one that I can finally say...YES! instead of "this will suffice."
Since the holidays are always pretty rough for me as I put on a happy face and with all the crap being perpetrated on the world by our own demented, narcissistic and much-loathed president maybe, just maybe this can pull you out of the doldrums. If so, then I've done my small part in making the world a better place. ENJOY!
Donate and keep the party going!

Holiday Edition 2017

It appears I've been given the green light to go ahead and post the Holiday Edition 2017 featuring the holiday's HOTTEST circuit beats. The song in question is a remake of the Eartha Kitt cum Madonna classic "Santa Baby" by Dirty Disco featuring the always fabulous Jeanie Tracy. There are two mixes of this song. One is the more circuit-friendly Private Mix and the other is the more disco-infused Mainstream Mix (which may be making an appearance elsewhere on this site relatively soon). More on that later.
Folks, this set is BIG and I when I say big, I mean HUGE or better yet EPIC! In fact, this is quite possibly the best set of circuit tracks to come out simultaneously in like forever.
I kick things off with the Offer Nissim remix of the Trash Mermaids' "Cryptic Love." I know absolutely nothing about this group, this track or anything about this song other than I absolutely love it! I equally adore the Dave Aude remix featured on the recent EDM/Dance set Jingle Electric pt. 1. There's just something about the obscurity and misunderstood meaning of this song coupled with catchy riffs that just does it for me.
This is followed-up by quite possibly the best remix Spin Sista has laid-down, EVER. They, he, she, it delivers an early millennium circuit remix of "Revival" by Ange Lloyd featuring Adam Martin that's worthy of Hex Hector, Thunderpuss and Jonathan Peters. Not to overuse the word but it really is EPIC!
Speaking of which, our favorite Latin DJ Ranny pulls another masterpiece out of his tight ass with "Queen of Peace" by Florence & the Machine. I don't know what it is about F&TM and Ranny but the two are like a glorious match made in circuit heaven.
Keeping within the realm of larger than life tunes, Barry Harris pulls out all stops on Imagine Dragons "Thunder." While the catchy tune stands on its own, Barry throws in a magical Thunderpuss build-up that really gets the adrenalin building before dropping into a drummed-up slap-beat of the original and then builds it up again, finally taking us out.
The fact is, Barry Harris is all over this mix. His output has been staggering with damn-near perfect consistency. He appears to have found that balance in remixing that play well to a circuit, EDM and even the t-dance crowd. At the end of the day, there isn't anyone coming close to the magic he's creating making him a much sought-after producer.
With that said, don't think this set is all about Barry. Tony Moran does some of his best work in a while with "Zum Zum" by Sasanya. Our favorite boys from Houston, Dirty Disco (who are starting to give Barry a run for his money) bring it with Joe Moda's "Pout" out now on Swishcraft and "To the Dancefloor" with everybody's favorite underground Queen Celeda.
Hottie, Joe Gauthreaux has been teaming up with Leanh lately and really deliver a surprisingly good remix of the Diana Ross classic "Aint No Mountain High Enough," which should get all the circuit boys joining hands in dance floor unison. Twisted Dee has also really been impressing us with her remixes of "Lose Control" by April Diamond and "Boom" by Emily Perry.
There are so many great tracks out at the moment, about a third of them had to be left in the crate. Now you can understand why I had such a hard-on and was constantly plugging this upcoming release. I'm talking MOMENTOUS!
Since this set is being released a few days early, I have another EPIC unannounced surprise for everybody dropping on Friday. You'll have to wait to find out what it is.
Until then...ENJOY!

Jingle Electric 2017 Volume 2

It does not appear that my host (Podbean) will allow me to manually add supporters as premium subscribers any longer. They used to but have stopped the practice because they now get 15% of whatever is donated in return for providing support for users with issues. That's on top of the fee charged by Stripe to process the subscription payments. If they come back and say okay this one time, then I'll move forward but it's not looking good.
I've resigned to the fact that no matter how popular Party Favorz is, there is no way I'll ever be able to make back the money I put into it without having to continually beg for donations like when my site hosting comes due around April/May. When I shut down Apple Music, Google Play and Tunein it makes it inconvenient for a lot of folks who have supported my efforts and frankly isn't fair to them. If I block my feed so that shit services like Deezer, PlayerFM and Mixcloud cannot access it then it blocks access to the ones I want it to appear on. Kind of a catch 22 but I'm researching away around it. I'll make an announcement if I figure that one out.
At this point, I've done all I can with this site and don't see much future beyond 2017. I'm seriously looking for a job but one that pays more than I'm already taking in at the moment, which is why I'm being picky. As for the shitbag at https://www.mixcloud.com/kepatotal/ Mixcloud sent me a takedown notice I have to fill out, which I will do shortly. Diva Hall of Fame and the Legacy sections will remain permanently closed as I assume everyone has already downloaded what they want.
So here's the Jingle Electric 2017 pt. 2 for everyone's enjoyment. Even though everything is wrapped up for the year, I plan on sticking to my original release schedule. The Holiday Edition contains one MUST-HAVE song on it that is an early promo but I can't release the set until the song drops this coming Friday, December 1st. So expect that to go up followed by the Year in Dance 2017 the following week.
I just dropped a couple of tunes into the Blow Your Own Horn 2018 set and smoothed out a couple of transitions, so I plan on getting drunk while previewing it for the rest of the day to ensure there are no other issues. For those that recently donated after my tirade yesterday, send me a message via Facebook if you would like a refund. No questions asked. ENJOY!

Jingle Electric 2017 Volume 1

It's time for the annual Jingle Electric jam! This is the final batch of the current and HOTTEST EDM/Dance tracks blowing up at radio and dance floors across the globe.
Over the years I started using vintage holiday artwork for this series. I am a HUGE fan of vintage ads set in a modern era. Granted, a lot of it is misogynist and definitely misleading. I've even come across several that are clearly targeted at gay men, which come across a little disturbing while others are hilarious. It's certainly not what you'd expect given the time they came out because there is no confusing the message they were sending.  One of the ads was for a luxury Buick with an attractive lady in the backseat and a man in a tuxedo appearing to peak in the back door. The headline or selling point is "Enough room for her to spread her legs" I shit you not.
While Party Favorz does not condone this kind of crap, I do have a fascination with attractive women, fashion, etc. So don't make too big a fuss about the images as it's meant to be all in good fun and represents a time in the past mixed in with modern-day culture.
You will find several of these tracks re-appear on the Year In Dance coming out in a couple of weeks as well as some big room banger versions on the year-end Blow Your Own Horn. I'll have the second set out early tomorrow morning for your weekend pleasure. Until then...ENJOY!

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year (Again)! | Christmas Dance Megamix

It's the most wonderful time of the year (again)! That time where we stuff ourselves with turkey, fight over politics with family and friends, sleep it off, watch football and parades and try to get the best steals on gifts for loved ones or ourselves.
In an effort to get everyone in the mood and help ease the frustrations usually associated with all of the above, I'm reposting the X-mas Dance Mix from 2016 to help lessen the anxiety and hopefully put you in a better frame of mind.
Over the years, I've made a handful of these awesome holiday dance sets for those that like a lot of bounce to their holiday music. I've linked all of them below but if you only need one, then this is the one you want.
Hope everyone shows some restraint in their consumerist tendencies unless you want to endow Party Favorz with the gift that keeps on giving [grin].
Make sure to pay close attention to the site because I've got a boatload of new material heading your way beginning tomorrow and starting with the 2017 Jingle Electric.
Until then...HAPPY THANKSGIVING unless you live outside of the US. In that case, HAPPY THURSDAY! ENJOY!!!
Donate and keep the party going!

Gems of 90s House Music Classics: Let There Be House

As we wrap up our series on 90s House Musics Classics with "Let There Be House," it's time to pay homage to a decade that truly defined house music for the masses. While I've been diligent in revisiting other iconic eras and genres in our extensive collection, the 90s house scene has been calling for a fresh take. And with this mix, I'm confident we've paid proper tribute to this game-changing decade.
First off, let's clear the air regarding Onephatdeeva's "Bad Habit" featuring Lisa Millett. Yes, the official release was in 2000, but the promo had been floating around since late '99, making it a perfect fit for this compilation. If you've heard it in our "Get Up n’ Dance | Millennial House Classics v4," that's no accident—it's a track so good it transcends decades as do many of these songs.
Now, let's talk about some of the standout tracks. Beats International's "Dub Be Good To Me" featuring Lindy Layton starts things off with its tantalizing blend of reggae-infused house, a Norman Cook (a.k.a.Fatboy Slim) touch that was groundbreaking for its time. Then we have Heavy D & The Boyz's "Now That We Found Love," remixed by the legendary David Morales. This song is a high-energy journey, an effervescent blend of rhythm and vocal prowess.
The Bucketheads' "Got Myself Together" is an essential inclusion. The KenLou Mix provides a timeless vibe that remains as fresh today as it was back then. If you're more into the emotional depth house can offer, Saundra Williams' "I Want It, I Need It (Real Love)" with MK's Real Dub will evoke that feeling of yearning and release, which is what house music, at its core, often aims to do.
Praxis featuring Kathy Brown rouses the dancefloor with "Turn Me Out," a floor-filler with a melody you can't escape. Kathy's vocals in this Delorme UK Club Mix are a resonant call to the dance floor, inviting and relentless.
No 90s House Music Classics mix is complete without some Moby, and his "Move" in the Electro Mix is a nod to how versatile this decade was, blending elements of electronic music with classic house beats.
And let's not forget the sugary sweetness of CJ Bolland's "Sugar Is Sweeter," revamped into a Drum n Bass Mix by none other than Armand Van Helden. This track embodies the adventurous spirit of the '90s, where artists and DJs were unafraid to experiment, to blend genres and break down musical barriers.
Before we wrap up, it's important to give a nod to our namesake track "Let There Be House" by Deskee, remixed by WestBam. This song not only encapsulates the ethos of this compilation but also serves as a credo for house music itself—bold, unapologetic, and utterly danceable.
As we close the chapter on this revisiting of 90s Music Classics, I hope it serves as a fitting soundtrack to your Thanksgiving festivities. I'll be back to sprinkle some seasonal vibes your way, but for now, let the 90's house vibes marinate in your soul.
Until the next time...ENJOY!
