Madonna: 25 Years of SEX | The Diva Series

The upending of the moral majority has been consistent for decades as the self-righteous slunk from one faux outrage after another. No one was more effective in raising their ire than Madonna. As a pop princess in the 80s, she reached the pinnacle of pop stardom with slickly produced vanilla fair that tantalized and tweaked our inner demons. By the end of the decade, she had perfected her dalliances and maximized her persona of controversy and sexuality inviting the kind of criticism that would only serve to make her star shine brighter.
In 1989, she released Like a Prayer to equal amounts of praise and criticism. The lead single's video portrayed a black Jesus Christ as a sexual object. This affront to religion was considered apostasy by Christians. The follow-up single Express Yourself was a testament to female empowerment and respect. While the production values of the album relied on the smooth pop structure of her previous efforts, the Shep Pettibone remixes of these songs capitalized on the burgeoning underground House Music scene at the time, taking the songs to an entirely new level.
In 1990, Madonna took that sound mainstream with the release of Vogue off of the "I'm Breathless: Music from and Inspired by the Film Dick Tracy". That same year, she released the semi-greatest hits package The Immaculate Collection which sold over 30 million copies worldwide and has gone on to be one of the biggest-selling albums of all time. More controversy ensued as the sexually charged video for the lead single Justify My Love which contained imagery of sadomasochism, voyeurism, and bisexuality¹ was initially banned from MTV and then allowed to air only after midnight. Because of the limited airplay, the video was released as a VHS single (the first of its kind) and went on to sell over a million copies.
By 1992, all bets were off and Madonna had not only secured a new multimedia deal in conjunction with Time Warner worth $60 million but simultaneously released her first album on the new label Maverick Records entitled Erotica along with the coffee table book of sexual fantasies entitled SEX. The album itself received mixed reviews from critics but by most standards is now considered one of her greatest works. Erotica is a concept album about sex and romance, incorporating her alter ego named Mistress Dita, inspired by actress Dita Parlo. Some songs also take on a more confessional tone, influenced by the loss of Madonna's two close friends to AIDS.²
The book was critically panned even by fans who felt she had taken sexual matters too far. Its intention was not only to provoke but to allow people to openly discuss their sexual desires and fantasies; often things they were already doing under the covers. Through the years, however, critical reception towards Sex has become more positive, with academics deeming it a defining phase in Madonna's career. Sex is noted for its impact on society and culture as well as on Madonna herself, and is considered a bold, post-feminist work of art.³
1989 until the beginning of the millennium was not only the most productive and experimental work Madonna has ever produced but it was the same time that I became sexually woke. As a young gay man from small-town America, dancing my ass off to Express Yourself at Rich's in Houston with more gay men than I had ever witnessed in my entire life empowered me to move forward and be open about who I am. It just happened to coincide with Madonna's extended middle finger to all the prudes and religious zealots who would later be plagued by their sexual demons. Oh, the hypocrisy.
Erotica and the SEX coffee table book now stand as some of the most important works by any artist of the 20th century. Madonna certainly wasn't the first and owes a great deal of gratitude to Grace Jones, Deborah Harry, Donna Summer, and others that had preceded her. Nevertheless, she paved the way for artists like Janet Jackson, Beyoncé, Britney Spears,

Fall Edition 2017

It appears we've come to the end of the road. Fall Edition 2017 represents the full circle Party Favorz has taken since the very first post on October 7, 2007. It's been a long ride with a lot of bumps along the way.
I've been an avid fan of music from the day I was born. My brain is like an encyclopedia of pop music, hits and misses as well as off the beaten path of underground classics. I can't think of a time that music hasn't played an important part in my life. I tend to associate all the moments (good and bad) with whatever was on the radio at the time or heavily played in a club that I frequented. I virtually have a lifetime of musical memories stored in my tiny brain.
Running Party Favorz has become a full-time job and one that doesn't pay very much LOL. At this moment, one of my main plugins is being troubleshooted on a dummy site I set up so that the developer can figure out the problem. It's been one constant headache after another but one I've learned a lot from and gained quite a bit of knowledge in coding and formatting to make this site run the way I want.
Granted, most of you access my podcast via other forms like Apple Music, Google Play, Tunein or whatever RSS feed service you may use without ever encountering my site but once. Hence, my traffic is steady but nothing to write home about. It's all about the numbers counted in streams and downloads that give me a real sense of how the podcast is being utilized and how many folks are engaging with it.
This has been a rollercoaster ride and I want to thank EVERYONE that has contributed to my ongoing efforts all these years; especially those of you who have been following me since day one. I won't mention names because there are a ton of you. Just know that I am forever grateful.
That being said, those very people know that I can flip a switch on a dime and have left, then came back and then left again. This time feels more certain as I try to apply my newfound skills to an actual job that pays a living wage or better. Regardless, I'll keep the doors open though I may turn the site into a pay per episode for those just now stumbling onto everything this site has to offer. Make sure you grab and backup what you need because I can't say when that will happen but likely sometime this month.
You never know if I decide to drop in from time to time with a little something, something but definitely not on the fast and furious scale my output usually consists of; just when I'm in need of a distraction. If I do, I do. If I don't, then I've got more pressing issues to attend to.
For now, soak in this massive set of circuit tribal scorchers and pump, Pump...PUMP IT UP! Enjoy ; )

HW2017

First, the HW17 actually has nothing to do with Halloween. No spooky tunes or effects, just plain ole Top EDM & Dance tunes currently playing or coming to a club near you soon.
As I wind down the site, I wanted to go out with a bang which is why I resigned myself to completing at least one more of these and a Circuit set for the boys (dropping tomorrow).
To be honest, I've truly lost interest in doing this, the music is repetitive and boring. When I am truly engaged like with the Spin Me 'Round set I just released, nobody really likes it. Frankly, I thought it was one of the most exciting sets I've put out in a while, mainly because of its diversity and uniqueness but I'll digress.
At the end of the day, my heart just isn't into it but I didn't want to leave things with the Simply Red Legacy set even though that's moved into the top ten most downloaded and streamed sets I've ever put out (go figure).
HW17 was completed in one sitting. I pretty much threw everything in including the kitchen sink to cover all of my bases. I've only had a small amount of time to skim it so if there are any errors, let me know and I'll try to correct them (hopefully not).
That's all I got for now. Until the next time...ENJOY!
One other thing, there are issues with this podcast that I am aware of. With almost 4,000 downloads no one bothered to bring it to my attention, so I never went back and fixed it. C'est la vie!

Simply Red: A Tribute Dance Mix Celebrating Timeless Soul & Endless Grooves

In the pantheon of iconic vocalists, Mick Hucknall and his band Simply Red stand out for their seamless blend of blue-eyed soul, pop, and R&B. With a career spanning over three decades, they have captivated audiences worldwide, not only with their unique sound but also with their unforgettable songs. What makes Simply Red even more compelling for us at Party Favorz is how DJs have reimagined their timeless classics into irresistible dance tracks. Our tribute mix endeavors to showcase this brilliant musical alchemy.
Right off the bat, "Sunrise," already a compelling number, took on a new life with the Love To Infinity Club Mix. The remix not only amplifies the original's soulful charm but also infuses it with an energetic dance floor vibe. It's a testament to the transformative power of a great remix, and it showcases the synergistic relationship between the song and the DJ's creative vision.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_rb5Bqm5mU
Similarly, the Phunk Investigation Extended Club Mix of "Fake" takes the original's gritty soul and elevates it into a club anthem. The seamless blend of house rhythms with Hucknall's haunting vocals creates an atmosphere where the dance floor becomes a sanctuary for both the body and the soul. This same ethos is evident in "Money's Too Tight (To Mention)," where the Haji & Emanuel Club Mix reimagines this socially conscious tune into a dance-floor banger without diluting its potent message.
When you think about iconic Simply Red tracks that epitomize euphoria, "Fairground" is a standout. The Too Precious Remix takes this exhilaration and amplifies it, crafting a mix that resonates emotionally while keeping feet moving on the dance floor. It's an awe-inspiring balance that has made this remix a staple in clubs around the world.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn2zZ7IESMQ
The Valentine Mix of "It's Only Love" is another gem that pays tribute to the romantic essence of the original. The remix retains the heartfelt sentiment while adding layers that make it more danceable, capturing the duality that is Simply Red: soulful yet upbeat, emotional but irresistibly groovy.
Last but not least, "Holding Back The Years," a song often associated with nostalgia and deep emotions, gets a unique treatment with the Original Rework Retro Remix by DJ Sacflashback. It's a rendition that respects the contemplative nature of the original while adding just enough tempo to make it dance-floor friendly.
The magic of our tribute dance mix lies in its ability to present Simply Red's classic hits through the lens of modern dance music, without losing the emotional depth and soul that define them. By weaving together these transformative remixes by gifted DJs, we aim to bring you a fresh yet nostalgic auditory experience, honoring the indelible impact Simply Red has had on music and culture.
Until the next time...ENJOY!
This entire set is dedicated to Marshall with love.

Annie Lennox 2017 | The Diva Series

The original Annie Lennox Diva Series was released in May of 2009. She was one of my earliest inductees. As a personal preference as an artist, vocalist, and performer, her music has gotten me through some of the darkest moments in my life.
Since the original set is missing several favorites, I felt it was time to go back and revisit Ms. Lennox. There have been several fantastic bootlegs that have since come out honoring her work as a solo singer and as part of the 80's duo Eurythmics. I couldn't use everything I wanted and had to leave off fan favorites like the Gabriel & Dresden remix of Pavement Cracks and the Thunderpuss remix of 17 Again.
While the original remix package for Pavement Cracks was stellar in its own right,  I went with the Shanghai Surprise version this go around and found a fantastic bootleg of 17 Again that flows better than the Thunderpuss or Peter Rauhofer remixes.
I also found a brilliant bootleg of No More I Love You's that captures the beauty of the original. No offense to Junior Vasquez, but his official remixes for the song were offensive, way off, and frankly a hot mess. When Junior is hot, he's fucking brilliant but other times, he's all over the fucking map as in this case.
There were also several stellar bootlegs for one of my all-time favorite songs Why. However, I decided to take the safer route and went with a 90's inspired version that retains the essence of the original set to P.M. Dawn beat.
All of the songs have been remastered to brighten them up while keeping the peaks at a constant, which in this case was necessary considering the age of the songs and in several instances, the sources.
It's with great honor and respect that Party Favorz re-inducts the fabulous Ms. Annie Lennox into the Diva Hall of Fame once again. Enjoy!

Spin Me ‘Round

So much for not posting anything this week. I meant to put it up yesterday but I lost track of time.
Spin Me 'Round is an eclectic mix that pulls from a variety of House Music sub-genres. Literally. I wanted to do something fresh and different but with energy and this is the result.
This is not unlike what I do with the end of the year party set Blow Your Own Horn series but wilder. Don't get to accustomed to one style of music because it will change on a dime.
These are hard to pull off but the finished product is always worth the price for the time and effort pulling it together. Let me know what you think and if you want more of these.
I've got a total re-work of one of the original Diva Series in store for next week. Until then...ENJOY!

Sade: The Beguiling Voice Behind Timeless Dance Remixes

Sade, the iconic band led by the enigmatic Sade Adu, has been the subject of immense adoration for decades. Recently, it was discovered that David Morales' remix of 'Shelter,' featuring samples from Sade's 'I Never Thought I'd See the Day,' is quite a rarity. This sparked a renewed interest in my existing collection of Sade dance remixes. Consequently, I embarked on a quest to find more of these gems, only to find a sea of fans and a plethora of unofficial remixes that echo my own enthusiasm for the group.
Sade's Unwavering Global Influence
Let's set the record straight: Sade hasn't dropped a new studio album since 2010. Despite this hiatus, their fan base has not only remained consistent but has flourished.

Dive into the world of Sade dance remixes, and you'll discover intriguing takes on their classic tracks.

The feverish fan following has inspired a wide array of unofficial remixes.

These remixes attest to the boundless creativity that Sade's music has inspired over the years.

David Morales Legacy Volume 4: A Time-Defying Journey Through Decades of House

We've arrived at the grand finale of our heartfelt tribute to David Morales, an unquestionable cornerstone in the house music genre. David Morales Legacy Volume 4 is a musical journey that defies time. Morales' '90s remix of Janet Jackson's '80s hit "When I Think of You," blends seamlessly with his rework of the '70s classic "Love Thang" by First Choice. Add in '90s essentials like Jody Watley's "I'm the One You Need" and Lisa Fischer's "Save Me," and you have a collection that showcases Morales' skill in reimagining dance music across decades.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j86RmuzHWh8
But let's not forget about Morales' talent for crossing genres and boundaries, a skill set further exemplified in remixes like Donna Summer's 'Melody of Love (Classic Club Mix)' and Mariah Carey's 'Dreamlover (Def Club Mix).' These tunes don't just get people moving on the dance floor; they evoke a particular period of musical evolution.
It's important to note that Morales wasn't just redefining the house genre; he was crafting a nuanced audio landscape that found its feet in a range of musical influences. This point becomes crystal clear with Morales' take on Celine Dion's 'Loved Me Back to Life,' where he elegantly melds pop sensibilities with club-ready beats, creating a cohesive musical experience that stands out in its own right.
So here's to David Morales, a trailblazer whose legacy can be felt every time his remixes flood the dance floors or accompany our most cherished moments. Until the next time...ENJOY!

David Morales Legacy Volume 3: The Gospel of House Meets Pop Royalty

David Morales is more than a mere DJ or producer; he's an institution in the world of House Music. With a career spanning decades, he's solidified his status as a trailblazer, particularly in the House genre. And while his influence is wide-ranging, his collaborations with Mariah Carey stand out as groundbreaking. Morales did the unthinkable by convincing the pop diva to re-record her vocals, transforming her chart-toppers into electrifying, gospel-infused anthems. Yes, this man took Mariah Carey's songs and turned them into spiritual journeys that would make any congregation shout, "Amen!"
In the third volume of our tribute to David Morales, we delve into this unique chapter of his storied career. Mariah Carey's "My All" and "Honey," for instance, are no longer just radio hits; they become transcendental experiences under Morales' expert craftsmanship. But the magic doesn't stop there. Remember Toni Braxton's "You're Makin' Me High"? Morales took that sultry tune and gave it a whole new layer of groove and vitality, making it irresistibly dance-floor ready.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJmPsTz9Ocg
Morales' touch has graced other powerhouse vocals as well. Deborah Cox's "Who Do U Love" becomes a pulsating, soul-stirring anthem, thanks to Morales. Even Suzanne Palmer's "Luv 2 Luv" transforms into an instant classic under his watchful eye. And let's not forget his self-featured track "Here I Am" with Tamra Keenan, proving that Morales doesn't need a superstar to make a hit. His collaboration with Kristine W on "One More Try" showcases his versatility and his unmatched ability to turn already compelling vocals into something extraordinary.

What's remarkable in this volume is Morales's gift for musical polygamy—marrying diverse genres into unified masterpieces. His work on Lara Fabian's "I Will Love Again" is a testament to this, taking an emotive ballad and sculpting it into a dancefloor magnet without losing its poignant touch.
On the Urban and Latin side, Morales doesn't just step into the genres, he leaves footprints. His remix of Heavy D & The Boyz's "Now That We Found Love" mirrors the late '90s urban vibe, blending infectious beats with soulful vocals. When it comes to Latin flavor, Morales's remixes for Gloria Estefan's hits "Oye Mi Canto (Hear My Voice)" and "Turn the Beat Around" serve as danceable bridges between Latin fire and mainstream appeal.
In the realm of pure pop, Morales's magic touch is evident in his work with the Spice Girls’ "Spice Up Your Life," as well as dance anthems like Enrique Iglesias's "Rhythm Divine" and Technotronic's "Pump Up The Jam." Each remix serves as both a throwback and an invitation to new musical experiences, marrying nostalgia with contemporary flair.
The entirety of David Morales Legacy Volume 2 functions as a dynamic history lesson in commercial dance music, all refashioned by one of the genre’s most influential pioneers.

David Morales: The Maestro of House Music’s Enduring Legacy Celebrated

If you've ever grooved to Whitney Houston's "So Emotional" on a packed dancefloor or lost yourself in Diana Ross's "The Boss" in the 90s, then you've felt the touch of David Morales—the Grammy Award-winning American house music DJ and record producer of Puerto Rican descent. Born in the cultural melting pot that is New York City, Morales is more than just a notable figure listed on Wikipedia. To aficionados and newcomers alike, he's akin to a musical prophet who has shaped the landscape of house music and club culture.
Many revere David Morales as one of the godfathers of house music, sharing this illustrious title with other luminaries like Frankie Knuckles, Shep Pettibone, Todd Terry, Eric Kupper, and Masters At Work Together, they've constructed the very foundations of a genre that has transcended time and geographical boundaries. Simply put, Morales doesn't just participate in this realm; he owns it.
The first time David Morales entered my sonic sphere was back in 1991 with his groundbreaking rework of Shawn Christopher's "Another Sleepless Night." This track alone was enough to convert me into a loyal follower, an experience shared by countless others. It's only fitting that we commence our four-volume tribute series with this transformative song. While this tribute isn't intended to be an exhaustive compilation of his extensive discography, it aims to serve as a vibrant introduction to the indelible moments Morales has contributed to the world of dance music.
Morales's influence is pervasive, touching classics across various artists and genres. His remix of Alison Limerick's "Where Love Lives (Come On In)" takes the track from merely memorable to unforgettable, instilling it with an added layer of club-ready beats and rhythms. Similarly, his collaborative project, "In De Ghetto" with The Bad Yard Club and Crystal Waters, sets a gold standard for what house music can achieve in terms of storytelling and atmosphere.
Another iconic remix is of Basement Jaxx's "Bingo Bango," where Morales's touch turns it into a dancefloor filler of the highest order. His work is not confined to just one genre or one set of voices. With "Needin' U," under the alias The Face and featuring Juliet Roberts, Morales demonstrates his versatile talent in producing dance anthems that defy categorization. His influence even extends to the realm of pop, as exemplified by his remix of the Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way," a rendition that gives the boy band classic a dancefloor-friendly makeover.
At Party Favorz, we believe that honor and respect are best expressed through action. That's why we are thrilled to pay tribute to David Morales—an unparalleled artist whose influence has been nothing short of revolutionary in shaping the house music scene. As you journey through this curated series, you'll not just be listening to music; you'll be experiencing pieces of history that have been redefined by the masterful touch of Morales.
