Party Favorz

Hit That Perfect Beat! | 80’s Alternative Dance Megamix

After last year's 70s indulgence with the Trash Disco series, Party Favorz is moving a decade forward. In typical fashion, I try to do something that's not so obvious, which better reflects who I was and what I was into by the end of the decade which was the 80s.
I was a disco kid heading into high school and dabbled in Punk and New Wave but then quickly adjusted my tastes to fit in with the other kids. AC/DC (who I still love), Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Scorpions, and down the line fueled me. By the end of the decade, I was the preppy kid hanging with the cool kids dressed in black with earrings and eyeliner (much to the dismay of my parents) listening to the coolest music by New Order, Erasure, Depeche Mode, etc., and smoking a lot of pot while occasionally dropping acid. It's not a path I would recommend to anyone today but if I'm being real...
It was the decade of Vans (which I had), OP (Ocean Pacific for the uninitiated), Levis 501 button-fly jeans, Izod, and shitty (hideous) clothing from Oak Tree and the Limited; Just look at any Rick Astley video or even Depeche Mode and you'll understand. For the most part, I was a geek with good taste in music (or at least I like to think so).
Truth is, I'm a music addict. I enjoy almost all forms of it from the crude and crass (Dead Kennedys, Plasmatics) to the most commercial (Tiffany, Debbie Gibson). I can't explain my tastes but they run the whole spectrum.
These next three sets reflect a certain period of my life that I fondly remember. Many of today's artists are diving back into the pool for inspiration, so don't be surprised if something sounds all too familiar.
Frankly, after working my magic, these songs have never sounded better. ENJOY!
Donate and keep the party going!

Winter Edition 2k17

Rick had his car towed to the dealership last night because his tire blew out. He gets free tires for life, so he had his car towed to the Atlanta dealership 20 miles away. I got up early this morning to drive him to the dealership so he could pick it up and get to work. During that ride, I finally had the opportunity to confirm what I already knew about the first Circuit set of the year. That is; it kicks some serious ASS!
The sun was out and at a cool 40 degrees with the windows down, the heat on high, and the stereo blaring with a Starbucks coffee in one hand and the other on the steering wheel, I could've driven all morning long. The Winter Edition 2k17 is a serious workout that has more energy than 10 cans of Red Bull.
Our favorite San Francisco label Swishcraft is leading the pack with four entries followed by our 'IT' boys of the moment Barry Harris and Dan Thomas.
The full remixes are out on Donna Summer & Barbra Streisand's eponymous late-70s disco duet 'Enough Is Enough'. While the overall package is a little less creative than I would have liked the two standouts are Offer Nissim's take (featured in last month's Holiday Edition 2k16 pt. 2) and now our favorite BOYS from Houston, Mark D. & JD Arnold a.k.a. Dirty Disco.
Speaking of which, they teamed up with one of our favorite (albeit disgraced) DIVAS Kim English for a new uplifting, energetic version of her former number one 'Treat Me Right' complete with all new vocals. Much like Donna Summer, I have it in my heart for forgiveness; especially when someone's work speaks to me and has provided so much meaning throughout my life.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention another one of our favorite DIVAS, Miss LeAnn Rimes. The woman is back and packing a punch with 'Long Live Love'. I've included the knuckle-dragging Ivan Gomez mix here but don't pass up on the Dave Aude version which is as good.
I could go on and on about the songs in this set but that could take a couple of pages. Every 1's a winner and a guaranteed treat for your ears and ass.
Since I'm treating every one to two different sets this week (don't forget I just dropped the latest Dance set 'Dance Sessions Winter 2017' yesterday, I likely won't be releasing anything next week. You've got over 4 hours of solid tunes to get your party started.
I also want to take this opportunity to give a HUGE shout out to these fantastic folks for their donations to my ongoing efforts: David B. $50; Ignacio G. $10; Billy G. $10 & Gary B. $10. All money goes right back into this site. My total costs for January were close to $250 so this was a massive help.
Next up, I'll be working on some new BackSpin's that will take us into the 80's and some brand-spanking new DIVA series.
Until then...ENJOY!

Winter Dance Sessions 2k17

This week, Party Favorz is going big and I mean really BIG! There is so much fantastic electronic dance music coming out at the moment my computer is bursting at the seams.
We're gonna kick your weekend off with the first straight-up club set of the year. The Winter Dance Sessions features some of the hottest club hits you're likely grooving to now as well as future hits you'll be digging into in a couple of months.
I rounded this out with some underground hits that are making a lot of noise that gives everyone a taste of things to come for 2017. I did this set in one take and it was flawless on my first preview. Then more and more hot tracks kept coming out so I dropped in a couple of them and am rushing this out before I muck it up.
The same thing with the Circuit set coming out tomorrow. I gotta stop while I'm ahead LOL.
I'll be back tomorrow with the Winter Edition for the circuit boys. Until then...ENJOY!

Nitelife

Welcome to the 2017 Funky House inaugural edition. Eh, just kidding.
I was going to put this out tomorrow morning but I figured a lot of you may need the diversion sooner rather than later.
If you can believe it, I'm currently at a loss for words. I'd like to smoke a joint but I haven't done that in 10 years and don't have any lying around.
I guess I'll just slam a few beers; pop an Ambien and try to sleep it off.
Peace.

Deep & Delicious

Folks, there has been a complete sea-change in the music that's coming out. It's like I've been fast-forwarded into another place and time. Take a look at the charts at Beatport and Traxsource. The top 10 in each of these are seriously dark and not the typical fare you'd normally expect. Sure, Beatport is famous for seriously fucked-up tracks in their top tiers that make you wonder if someone isn't manipulating the songs to get them ranked higher but this darkness has been going on for a couple of months now.
I generally find that current trends in underground house music are a reflection of the times. Let's just say folks are getting more cynical. I alluded to this in my 2017 kickoff post The Best Dance Music Podcast PERIOD! | 10-Year Anniversary. More people are using TOR to surf the net and more and more of us have turned to What's App and Signal for our personal communications. These are scary times and the music is a reflection of those sentiments.
Now, I'm not here to rouse everyone but when I found out that free sites like Family Tree Now give out a lot of personal information like your home address, previous address, phone numbers, current and past relationships, family members, and on down the line to anyone and everyone who looks you up; this shit is getting creepy. Fortunately, you can opt-out and I would HIGHLY recommend it.
Far be it for me to spoil your fun. So, I spent the better part of a day combing through promos, Beatport, Traxsource, and Junodownload to complete this and next week's Funky House set to pull together some of the freshest beats that don't make you want to slit your wrists. Most of this stuff leans towards House Music but there are some Techno and Tech House tunes to round it out. Forget about Deep House cause that genre has gone off the rails. Nevertheless, I worked this shit OUT!
The weather has been pretty awesome for the past several days so it would be a shame if I don't take advantage of it. I'll be back next week with the next installment of FunkyDiscoHouseShit for everyone. From what I can tell, that is gonna put a smile on your face.
Until then...ENJOY!

Blow Your Own Horn 2017

Folks, this is it! It's that time of year that Party Favorz blows the roof off this 2016 motherfucker with our annual Blow Your Own Horn! This is the defacto epic dance party set to bring in your New Year.
This year we lost David Bowie, Prince, George Michael and now Carrie Fisher a.k.a. Princess Leia. It almost feels like my youth has been suddenly ripped out from underneath me. After everyone said it would never happen, we elected an egotistical, self-serving, lying hypocritical, sexists prick to the highest office in the land. Ya'll said you wanted change; wait 'cause you're gonna get it.
It's also been the year of Russia, Russia, Russia. No offense to the Russians that subscribe to this site (cause I know there is a shitload of you), but I don't want to see RT show up in my Google feed ANYMORE; I don't want to read about how Russia hacked into the DNC and floated all this crap to that douche Julian Assange from Wikileaks. One step out of that embassy (if they don't throw you out first) and your happy ass is going to land here in the US courtesy of the Swiss. Then there's some Russian fucktard hacking everyone's Google Analytics account (mine included) with some fucked up pro-Trump message. Not sure what that was about other than being an annoying prick. I can't even open up the New York Times, Washington Post or Washington Journal without some headline news about Russia. Here's the real news; Russia, we're just not that into you.
So, I'll just let this all wash over me with a new year to look forward to. Then again, it'll likely be the same shit; just a different year LOL.
Hey, I'll get off my soapbox because it's looking like an awesome day outside. Besides, I know we have several Trump supporters on here (including my parents) as most are good people. Equally, all the Russian folks that subscribe to Party Favorz, obviously have good taste so we welcome you!
That being said, I want to give a shout-out to these awesome folks for their donations: David B. $50; Michael M. $10 and Charles B. $40. You guys ROCK!
Party Favorz will be taking an extended break for as long as I can stand not mixing anything which usually lasts about 2 weeks before I give in to the urge to slap a couple of songs together LOL.
I hope everyone has a healthy and happy New Year. I'll see ya'll sometime in the next.
Until then...ENJOY!

George Michael: A Dance Mix Tribute Volume 2

In the wake of George Michael's sudden passing, it became clear that a mere update of his 2010 induction into the Diva Hall of Fame wouldn't suffice. So, with a heavy heart but determined focus, we set out to remaster and reimagine a dance tribute mix that would do justice to his extensive repertoire and undeniable influence on music and pop culture.
Starting from scratch, we meticulously remastered each song, whether it was slated for inclusion or not, dedicating two full days to this labor of love. The end result? A tribute that can only be described as 'Flawless.'
Back in 2010, the original tribute had an extra dose of compression, primarily due to the track 'As,' George Michael's duet with Mary J. Blige. Thanks to Jonathan Peters' mastering techniques, the song could practically blow a hole in the ceiling. It set the tone for the whole mix back then, especially when earbuds were not as advanced as they are today. But times have changed, and so have audio capabilities. That gave us the freedom to achieve a balanced and more nuanced sound.
Let's talk about some gems in the tribute. Take "I Want Your Sex 2010 (Freemasons Club Mix)," for instance. The Freemasons bring a modern electro flair to this '80s classic, delivering a robust bassline that's impossible to ignore. And then there's the "Fast Love (2002 Illicit Remix)." With this version, the Illicit team reinvents George Michael's hit by infusing fresh beats and rhythms, making it perfect for today's dance floors.
Don't overlook the "Outside (Hex Hector 12'' Vox Up Mix)," a song with a history. After his public outing following an arrest, George Michael embraced his identity and turned the incident into this empowering track. Hex Hector's remix elevates it to new heights, making it a dance floor anthem for the ages.
Wham! classics like "I'm Your Man (Division 4 Club Mix)" and "Everything She Wants (Todd Terry Mix)" also find their rightful place in the mix. They're not just nostalgic trips; these remixes celebrate George Michael's beginnings while anchoring them firmly in contemporary dance music.
In closing, we hope this tribute captures not just the breadth of George Michael's musical prowess, but also the depth of his influence and the complexity of his legacy.
RIP George. You will be sorely missed. [1963 - 2016].
Until the next time...ENJOY!

George Michael: A Dance Mix Tribute Volume 1

From teen idol to international superstar to a figure of resilience, George Michael's multifaceted journey has left an indelible impact on the music world. Not just a pop icon, he became an influential voice in the LGBTQ+ community following his arrest for solicitation, which effectively outed him as a gay man. Far from shying away, George Michael embraced this chapter of his life, using his platform to advocate for acceptance and equality.
While his personal life may have seen its share of controversies and struggles, his musical prowess remains unquestionable. Whether it's the Wham! classic "Everything She Wants," remixed brilliantly here by Todd Terry, or his solo work in albums like the groundbreaking "Faith," George Michael's artistry transcends genre and era.
Take a moment to revisit his album "Listen Without Prejudice," often cited as one of the most underrated gems of the '90s according to music critics. The lyrical depth and vocal execution in this album are proof of Michael's unparallelled talent. His words reveal a vulnerability that resonated deeply with his audience.
The rich declare themselves poorAnd most of us are not sureIf we have too much but we'll take our chances'Cause God's stopped keeping scoreI guess somewhere along the wayHe must have let us all out to playTurned His back and all God's childrenCrept out the back door
And it's hard to loveThere's so much to hateHanging on to hopeWhen there is no hope to speak ofAnd the wounded skies aboveSay it's much, too much, too lateWell, maybe we should all be praying for time
Now, let's delve into the dance tribute mix honoring George Michael's dance floor repertoire. "Star People '97 (Forthright Club Mix)" serves as a potent opener, setting the mood with its vibrant beats and rhythmic complexity. Then there's the Sharp Boys remix of "Flawless" which was also a #1 club hit by The Ones and samples the disco classic "Keep On Dancing" by Gary's Gang and another disco classic "Romero and Juliet" by Alec R. Costandinos adds a layer of effervescence to the already buoyant original.
"I Want Your Sex 2010" follows suit, revamping a classic George Michael tune with a contemporary touch from the Freemasons, widely praised for their mixing skills. The addition of "Amazing" adds a groovy, upbeat House vibe to the tribute mix, thanks to Full Intention's masterful remixing.
One cannot talk about George Michael's dance music without mentioning "Outside." Not just a club hit, this song became a statement piece after his arrest, turned into a celebration of freedom and self-acceptance. Hex Hector's remix elevates it even further, adding a sense of liberation to a classic Disco House beat with masterful sound layering.
Lastly, the "Fast Love 2002 (Illicit Remix)" which samples the 80s Disco classic "Forget Me Nots" by Patrice Rushen comes on like a nostalgia trip, revamped for the new millennium but still holding its '90s essence at the core, much like George Michael himself.
Though controversies and legal battles have sometimes clouded George Michael's legacy, his significance as a trailblazer in pop music and as an openly gay icon cannot be overstated. Personal tribulations aside, his dramatic life only adds layers to what makes him an everlasting DIVA in the realm of music and culture.
George Michael, you've forever left your mark on music and society. Your induction into our Legacy Dance Tribute series is both an honor and a testament to your everlasting influence.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Top Dance Songs of 2016 Volume 3

In the ever-changing landscape of music, 2016 marked a significant year electronic dance music, as displayed in the Top Dance Songs of 2016. The year saw remarkable output from artists like Rihanna, Justin Bieber, and The Chainsmokers, each contributing distinctively to the dance music sphere.
Rihanna's 'Anti' album was a resounding success, spawning several Top 10 tracks. The standout 'This Is What You Came For', a collaboration with Calvin Harris and co-written by Taylor Swift, is a dance floor hit and undoubtedly one of the Top Dance Songs of 2016.
Justin Bieber, riding the wave of success from his 2015 'Purpose' album, solidified his presence in 2016's dance music scene. His collaborations with Major Lazer on 'Cold Water' and DJ Snake on 'Let Me Love You' not only topped charts but also contributed significantly to the list of Top Dance Songs of 2016. Despite his controversial image, Bieber's talent is undeniable, particularly when combined with industry-leading producers.
However, the true dance music titans of 2016 were The Chainsmokers. Following their 2014 hit '#Selfie' and their debut album 'Bouquet' in 2015, their track 'Closer' with Halsey confirmed their status as EDM trendsetters with an attractive pop edge.
As we move closer to the end of our countdown of 2016's biggest dance hits, I'd like to extend thanks to Gary B. for his generous donation. Also, a note to our Firefox users experiencing issues with our donation plugin; we're working on a fix, but for now, Chrome, Explorer, or Safari may provide a smoother experience.

Top Dance Songs of 2016 Volume 2

In the dynamic world of dance music, 2016 marked a notable shift towards our musical roots. The year's dance hits - the Top Dance Songs of 2016 - saw a resurgence of '70s disco vibes, significantly shaped by the legendary Nile Rodgers. Aside from leading the celebrated '70s disco band Chic, Rodgers also shaped the '80s music scene by producing chart-topping hits for icons such as Madonna, Diana Ross, David Bowie, and Duran Duran. His current influence demonstrates that the sounds of yesteryears still resonate on today's dancefloors, proving the timeless adage that 'what's old becomes new again'.
A definitive game-changer in 2015 was 'Lean On Me' by Major Lazer & DJ Snake. This sensational summer anthem, with its laid-back Reggaeton beat, carved a path for many of the chart-topping hits of 2016. As a result, the traditional 128 bpm dance track has made way for a slower average of 120 bpm, favoring radio-friendly beats over traditional dance floor rhythms. This shift necessitates adaptability from music creators who want to stay relevant.
This trend is clearly mirrored in the four-part series of the Top Dance Songs of 2016, showcasing a transition towards slower, sultrier beats that harken back to the '70s Disco and '80s Dance eras. While commercialized Deep House remains a strong presence, the focus is on the downbeat, showcasing the cyclical nature of music trends. Undoubtedly, '90s-era house music will eventually make a comeback, but for now, it's all about the languid beats.
Stay tuned for the third part of our journey through the Top Dance Songs of 2016, arriving tomorrow. Until then...ENJOY!

Top Dance Songs of 2016 Volume 1

Party Favorz is proud to present our annual collection of the Top Dance Songs of 2016. These are the biggest dance tracks that have defined the year for us. While music is inherently subjective, and everyone has their personal favourites, our focus has always been to highlight the most commercial, most popular dance tracks of the year.
You may have noticed that we're gradually moving away from the EDM label and embracing the broader 'dance' genre. We understand that all music we feature here can be classified as 'electronic dance music', and we feel that the 'dance' genre is more representative of the wide variety of styles we share. The music world may constantly redefine genres to stay on trend, but at the end of the day, good club music transcends labels.
We have made it easy for iTunes users to subscribe and stay updated with their preferred categories. We provide separate feeds for each category on the site, so you can subscribe to only those you like. This helps to keep your playlist organised and allows you to quickly find the music that suits your mood. Non-iTunes users can copy the address for each category and submit it to their preferred RSS reader on any device.
We extend our deepest gratitude to our supporters who have helped Party Favorz continue in our mission to be the best dance music podcast. We would like to give a special shout-out to recent contributors, Gary B., Eric W., Alberto M., Anthony B., and Luis B. Your generous donations have been instrumental in our transition to a new service and have ensured our ability to continue bringing you the Top Dance Songs of 2016.
Stay tuned for part 2 of the Top Dance Songs of 2016 coming out tomorrow. Until then...ENJOY!
