Everybody Dance | Trash Disco Megamix

It's Trash Disco week here at Party Favorz! I hooked up with one of the best disco-edit queens on the internet DJ FreddyG a.k.a. Digital Visions whose 70's and 80's recreations are simply outstanding!!
You're gonna see a lot of his work in the next three sets, which mixes in various bootlegs from Soundcloud and some new stuff from Dr. Packer that I picked up at Juno Downloads.
Right now, it's all about rump-shaking bootylicious classics that have been perfectly updated for your disco indulgence.
Enjoy!

Pool Party 2K16

Party Favorz is back with some cool summer funky house music for mingling around the pool or lounging at the beach. The 2016 Pool Party is simply a renaming of the annual Beach House Edition but still has the bright Disco House fun you normally expect from the series.
Things kick off with a sunny bootleg remix of the 80s Tears for Fears classic Everybody Wants to Rule the World, which should immediately put a smile on your face. If it doesn't, then there is something seriously wrong with your mindset.
From there, Soul singer Leroy Burgess re-works one of his classic tunes Barely Breaking Even with Sweden's OPOLOPO delivering a satisfying 80s R&B dance remix that keeps up that fuzzy feelgood feeling. If you haven't picked up on it yet, there are a lot of classics reworked for this set.
CeCe Peniston's early 90s house smash Finally gets the treatment along with Nightcrawler's Push the Feeling On and a personal favorite from 1989, Good Life by Inner City (a song I hold near and dear to my heart).
Bob Marley has been popping up everywhere lately and this time it's a dance floor remix of Could Be Loved. I'm thinking his music has either entered into the public domain or his family has opened up his catalog for sampling and outright remakes. As a Marley fan, I couldn't be happier.
We delve into a bit of deeper house music for a bit with Miss Barbra Tucker finally declaring "I don't know what you came here to do." Two snaps for the queen of House Music because she just did it.
Nora En Pure delivers a classic beach house anthem that will soothe your mind, body, and soul and New Order has teamed with Claptone for a sweet house version of People on the High Line.
We get back into the classic re-works with Cyrstal Waters Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless) another song near and dear to my heart followed by an unexpected re-work of the late 70s rock anthem Black Betty that works so well as a house-floor shaker, it makes you wonder why no one had the balls to pull this off ages ago.
Finally, I close things out with a near faithful re-work of the late 70s disco classic Boogie Oogie Oogie by Taste of Honey, which may leave you wanting more. Never fear, I'm working on some new Trash Disco sets for next week.
With yesterday's tragedy in France, I've decided to stay off of my soapbox since this insanity is becoming an all too common occurrence. Instead, I've decided to change my icon to show support and unity with the French people in their time of grief.
Anything I have to say about the state of the human race and politics will be reserved for later in the fall once the US elections begin heating up. For now, I'm pretty certain folks know what I think about the willful ignorance and outright stupidity of the far-right's leadership and nominee for president.
That's all I got for now. I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and as always ...ENJOY!

Back Into the Deep

Back by popular uh, request ...the Deep Edition is getting a new life in the form of the Deep Sessions.
When I dropped this popular series back in 2009, it had transitioned into the System Edition as the musical landscape was becoming more obtuse, electronic and frankly (IMHO) difficult to enjoy. Ultimately, I dropped it altogether.
The original series actually started out as a mish-mash of Soulful house, Deep House, Tech House, Minimal and Electronica depending on what was left over from previous sets. At its peak, the genres began to taper down to more Deep House and Tech House, which is what moved so many of you, that still have fond memories and long for those days.
I've always said that music (especially house music) is cyclical. A certain style is in vogue one day and the next day it's out, then bounces back again a decade or so later. Witness the rise of NuDisco, which is nothing more than modern-day version of its parent Disco. The same can be said for Deep House and Tech House. Those genres really had moved away from their roots (or evolved if you will) but now appear to be swinging back around.
I do believe I've captured the feel and spirit of those earlier sets with Back Into the Deep but I'll let you folks decide if I move forward with this new incarnation.
In the interim, I have fully re-instated the back catalog for the Deep Edition for premium subscribers, though some of the earlier versions had two sets in one post, in which case I made the first set available for free and the second strictly for premium members. You'll have to figure it out on your own because the posting format that I used in the early days was a bit convoluted.
Anyway, let me know what you think. The success or failure of this series is solely dependent on YOU; so make your voice heard or it will be back to the dustbin of history once again.
I'll be back tomorrow with some cool funky house for ya. Until then ...ENJOY!

Summer Edition 2016 Volume 1

Happy sweltering Saturday! Party Favorz has been on a roll and I decided to go ahead and drop the annual Summer Edition featuring some of the biggest circuit beats of the moment.
We kick things off with Kristine W's (soon to be yet another #1) Out There, which admittedly took me awhile to get on board with but I'm firmly in her camp on this now. Looking forward to the second set of mixes that are scheduled to come out for this song.
Israeli hotty Guy Scheiman brings us an unlikely update to the Carly Simon classic about her ex, Warren Beatty You're So Vain. At first I was like, what the hell are you thinking? After listening to the fantastic vocals by Michal S, I really started getting into it and I'm pretty certain you will too.
Anderson Thacher and Pepper MaShay are currently riding high with You Stop Breakin My Heart. The release has plenty of stellar remixes to choose from but I took the progressive root with Tracy's mix.
Given the current state of the union, Andra Day's Rise Up has been one of the most significant if not poignant releases this summer. Folks, I think we're on the brink of reliving the 60s all over again, just keep your guns at home.
I should go ahead and mention Dirty Disco's fabulous re-work of the Kim English classic Unspeakable Joy, a song very near and dear to my heart. Given Kim's history of fame to shame, many of you might consider this a cringe-worthy choice but I respectfully disagree. No matter the singer, we OWN this motherfucking song. If it wasn't for us, there would be no song nor any Kim English.
JOY!
Unspeakable Joy!
'Cause they did not give it, they cannot take it away!
So re-purposing this song for our own needs is our right and I thank the boys (Mark D & JD Arnold) a.k.a. Dirty Disco for updating this song and reminding us what we do have.
San Francisco's tiny little gay music label that could, Swishcraft is riding high with Toy Armada, DJ Grind and Ultra Nate's One Night in Heaven, which is also currently moving up the dance charts. They also just dropped Move Your Body by Caroline Lund and Leo Frappier, which I've been all over since I heard it just last week. The remix package on this is equally as compelling, with so many tribal-i-cious choices.
I can't begin to tell you how many folks have posted their longing for the return of high-quality circuit house music; well this is it and Swishcraft is currently doing their best to fill the void, so be sure to support their efforts.
...and then there is Barry, oh how I do love thee. I get proudly erect at the mere mention of his name. I don't think I've released a circuit set in the last two years that didn't have one of his mixes on it. This time we get a monster re-boot of Dreamer by Janice Robinson (of Livin Joy) which just soars as well as a ground-up re-work of Meghan Trainor's Top 40 hit Me Too.
All in all, the Summer Circuit Edition for 2016 will pump you up and make your balls sweat. My aim is to have a part two out for you boys by August so please stay tuned ...
Until the next time ...ENJOY!

Summer Slammers Volume 1

Welcome to Summer Slammers which features some of the best EDM to get you through the heat of summer!
...screeching brakes...
It would be nice if we could get from post to post, week to week without some senseless shooting making headlines. My heart goes out to the families of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile as well as the Dallas police officers who were shot and killed while protecting the free-speech rights of folks protesting the shootings from poorly-trained, biased, and/or prejudiced law-enforcement officers.
Last year, I moved to a suburb of Atlanta that's more diverse than any place I've ever lived. The community makeup consists of immigrants from Mexico and Central America, Blacks, Whites, Asians, and Muslims. These are my neighbors and the good folks I interact with daily. I use the same philosophy in my life that I instill for this website:
Whether you’re gay, straight, black, white, pink, or purple, Party Favorz has no boundaries and everyone IS welcome here.
I don't know how you teach folks to not hate others because of their skin color, gender, sexuality, or even religion because it starts at home and comes from within. Then again, my parents often employ this subtle "dog whistle" of racism from time to time, though they'll deny it because they don't recognize it. How I was able to escape that is beyond me but it likely had to do with leaving home right after high school and moving to Austin, then Dallas, and then Atlanta. I prefer large cities with a variety of cultures and experiences because it makes life much richer.
Party Favorz was started during an election year when Obama and Clinton were neck and neck in the primaries. It was heated and contentious but ultimately, Obama won out.
Now, we are at the cusp of a new presidential election where our only two (realistic) choices are Clinton (a truly dishonest and self-serving career politician) and Trump (a narcissistic, racist, misogynist, bottom-feeding POS who acts like a 12-year-old bully). While I want to change in this country and wouldn't vote against my self-interests by casting a vote for Trump, I'm happy to give Clinton four years to prove her worthiness and if not throw her ass out on the street if she can't produce.
Sadly, working with a Congress that's comprised of representatives from heavily gerrymandered districts that in no way reflect the makeup of the constituency of the states has proven to be impossible. These are the pro-gun, anti-abortion, anti-gay, pro-religion nut-sacks that hold the country by its balls.
If you want change, start at the local level, then state, and then national. Get involved, run for office, volunteer, and make your voice heard; most importantly, get out and VOTE! That's the only way REAL change will come to this country.
Now, let the music play.

Victor Calderone Dance Music Tribute Volume 3

Returning with the final installment of our tribute series to the extraordinary Victor Calderone, we've handpicked some tracks that truly define the maestro's versatility and influence. Highlights from this concluding volume include the ethereal sounds of "Beautiful" by Mandalay, Madonna's chart-topping "Die Another Day," and the soulful gospel groove of Mary Mary's "Shackles (Praise You)" turned upside down into a big room floor-filler like only Calderone could do.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eCCvrP223c
Also making the cut are the electro-vibes in Goldfrapp's "Strict Machine" and the vocal powerhouse in Dynamix & Tina Ann's "Don't Want Another Man." These selections epitomize the artistry and range that Victor Calderone brings to the world of dance music.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Victor Calderone Dance Music Tribute Volume 2

Get ready for Volume 2 of our Victor Calderone Dance Music Tribute, where we dive deep into the treasure trove that is Victor Calderone's versatile remix portfolio. This edition brings you an assortment of chart-toppers, iconic hits, and some unexpected bootlegs that showcase the depth of Calderone's mastery over the turntables.
One track that demands attention is K.D. Lang's "Summerfling," a song that epitomizes summer love, wrapped in Victor Calderone's beats. Alongside this, we have Shapeshifters' "Lola's Theme," a track that Calderone turns into an irresistible siren's call to the dance floor. If sultry rhythms are more your style, you'll adore Calderone's take on Beyoncé's "Naughty Girl." He keeps the sensuality of the original but elevates it into an anthem of empowerment.
Bette Midler's "I'm Beautiful" receives the Victor Calderone treatment, making the song an even more powerful testament to self-love and acceptance. But it's Madonna's "Frozen" that proves to be a defining moment in Calderone's career, signaling his swift ascent in the dance music scene. His remix breathes new life into this Madonna classic, accentuating its haunting melody while adding a pulsating beat that keeps you glued to the dance floor.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WZAdxl7ffA
Speaking of Madonna, Victor Calderone's remix of "Bedtime Story," also penned by the Queen of Pop, seamlessly complements her tracks from the "Ray of Light" era. Though it came out long after the original, it feels like a missing puzzle piece that completes the picture. This particular remix could comfortably fit between "Sky Fits Heaven" and "Skin," capturing the essence of what makes Madonna's music perennially relevant.
Another interesting addition to this set is an unreleased bootleg of Britney Spears' "Everytime." While it might feel a tad unfinished, it’s an intriguing what-could-have-been, showcasing Calderone's knack for making even the most challenging tracks remix-worthy.
With the 4th of July weekend just around the corner and some other engagements on the horizon, stay tuned for the third and final installment in this Victor Calderone tribute series, dropping tomorrow for your holiday pleasure.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Victor Calderone Dance Music Tribute Volume 1

I've been planning a Victor Calderone tribute series for some time, aiming to spotlight the celebrated aspects of his prolific career. With a treasure trove of his mixes stored in a dedicated folder, I finally carved out the time to assemble these sets—and trust me, they're absolute roof-raisers that Victor Calderone fans will love.
Delving into his life story or his ascension to being Madonna's go-to DJ isn't the focus here; he's spoken at length about these in various interviews. What stands out about Victor Calderone is his efficiency; he's known for turning out some of his best work in a week's time. This "don't overthink it" philosophy has significantly influenced my approach to creating episodes for this site, a lesson I wish I had absorbed earlier in my career.
These curated sets were crafted in a single take, fine-tuned later to enhance their flow. Clocking in at more than nine minutes each, they've been pre and post-mastered for an impeccable audio experience. Special attention went into Sarah Brightman's rendition of "Dust in the Wind," which I discovered in my collection. The song had a glitch toward its end, a flaw that I've now rectified for your listening pleasure.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iE0dqIRmhJ8
Contrary to popular belief, Victor Calderone did not remix certain songs often attributed to him. For example, he did remix Destiny Child's version of the Samantha Sang classic, "Emotion," but he didn't touch "Emotions," performed by Elle Patrice which was remixed by Tony Moran. Likewise, the popular remix of Kristine W's "O Holy Night" wasn't Calderone's work either but that of Illicit, who also made a splash during Victor's heyday.
Nowadays, Victor Calderone maintains an active presence in the industry but has shifted his focus towards darker, more subdued original productions. You can still catch his live sets, as he continues to tour extensively. Check out his schedule on Resident Advisor to see when he'll be gracing a venue near you.
In an industry filled with talent, Victor Calderone stands out for his consistency, versatility, and his undeniable influence on progressive house music. As a creator, he's taught us the value of trusting one's instincts, a lesson that holds weight whether you're crafting a nine-minute mix or a sprawling tribute series like this one.
It's an honor for Party Favorz to pay tribute to Victor Calderone and his invaluable contributions to the world of progressive house music. His legacy is a testament to the transformative power of the genre, and his enduring work continues to inspire both fans and fellow artists alike.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Summer Chill 2016

As we move into the heat of summer, I thought we should cool things down a bit with Summer Chill, the latest in the Mixtape series.
Things kick off with Zedd & Aloe Blacc's ode to Willy Wonka's Candyman and totally rewritten lyrics turning it into an uplifting song about peace, love, and unity; something we could ALL use about now. Throw in a little bounce (Los Angeles) and reggae-bump (Jetlag) and the beautifully elegant Finally, you kinda get a feel as to where this set is heading; but then ...
I switch gears to J Paul Getto's Vibe; a song I've been sitting on since March as I knew exactly where I wanted it to appear. I'm not sure what song this samples but the overall feel-good 70's "soul-vibe" is so addictive I can listen to it on repeat all day long and never get sick of it.
Shortly after, we move into Midnight Bumper, which I'd swear is a pumped-up instrumental of Grace Jones' version of La Vie En Rose.
From there we move into some late-night soul tracks, which set the mood for a glass of wine and a few puffs from your peace pipe [grin].
Next up is another feel-good track Bertie Bassett's The Only One, which channels the fantastic 1999 smash Big Love by Pete Heller. Wait for the drop and you'll immediately recognize the vocal sample by Party Favorz' favorite DIVA, Miss Loleatta. I'm a sucker for these samples, but only when it works and this just hits it out of the park.
Truth is, every song included here is a winner but Kevin Karlson and Nelly's Got the Love just feels right as does last year's mega-hit Es Vedra by Gabriel & Castellon.
Oh course, this wouldn't be a proper summertime chill set without the easy-breezy Summertime, originally a hit for Will Smith in the early 90s. I dropped the instrumental house version which just screams summer.
Finally, I bring things to a close with Emapea's Good Old Days, and its heavy early 90's production makes it the perfect closer for this set.
I had so many fantastic songs to work with this go-around, I had to leave several on the floor but have every intention of coming back at the end of August with a Summer Farewell mixtape that will include them plus new favorites.

Gay Anthems for a New Generation 2016 | Modern Gay Pride Anthems

As we claw our way toward the end of the week, I thought I'd go ahead and post the final Pride Classics our firstGay Anthems for a New Generation featuring modern gay pride anthems. It's intended to be a bit reflective with a lot of bouncy fun you'd expect from a Pride celebration.
This set draws from future house hits of the past few years (What I Did For Love, Go All Night, I Got U, Real Love, Hustlin') to current hits like the fabulously funky Air Miles by Me & My Toothbrush and the disco hit taken from the HBO series Vinyl, Kill the Lights.
Of course, the big winners here are modern-day bootleg re-edits of Gloria Gaynor's definitive anthem I Will Survive, Diana Ross' proclamation anthem I'm Coming Out to Madonna's everyday celebratory Holiday. Sandwich these with plain ole fun modern twists of Shannon's Let the Music Play, Vicetone's Hawt Stuff (think Donna Summer), 2 B Real (think Cheryl Lynn), Daft Punk's Around the World, and George Michael's Fast Love and you got yourself one big-ass Pride throw-down.
I've got more that didn't make this year's cut so I thought I'd save them for 2017, which is Party Favorz's 10 year anniversary and likely our last but that's for a later discussion.
For now, we don't let the shit news of the week keep us down. Instead, we get LOUDER and PROUDER making our voices heard! IT'S TIME TO CELEBRATE with some modern gay pride anthems for a new generation of revelers!
Happy Pride Everybody!

Circuit Anthems & Gay Pride Classics Volume 4

I realize that you folks who live outside of the United States probably think it's the wild west over here and to a certain extent, I wouldn't blame your line of reasoning.
After all, we have a republican congress that denies science, stifles any and all conversation about restricting what types of guns that can be purchased legally all under a misunderstood interpretation of the 2nd Amendment; and openly promote hate, racism, and homophobia under the guise of their pretend god. We have a leading presidential candidate who has seized on all of the above to promote his candidacy for President while the members of his own party run as far away as they can only after it becomes clear many of them will lose their seat because of their affiliation with this ass-clown. (hint: you create it, you own it).
I stand by my original statement in the previous post but will expand it to include ALL religions, not just Islam. Was the slaughter of 49 and injury of 53 innocent people the result of self-loathing homophobia? terrorism? mental illness? I'd say all of the above, but the underlying foundation that propels individuals to harm others is almost ALWAYS religion. In this case, Islam. Whether peaceful as many say or not (I have my serious doubts) the purpose of religion is to control the masses and impose a very narrow and strict belief set of questionable principles on people's lives; principles that the majority of the enforcers don't live by themselves.
To be clear, I'm a pretty open person and accept most people; even Republicans and/or those that seek spiritual solace through religion. What I won't tolerate are folks imposing those views or passing judgment on me. Those that are vocally hostile and judgmental towards others because of some perceived lack of morality are 10 out of 10 times shining a light on their own private bad behavior. From meth-smoking religious leaders hooking up with male prostitutes to "supposed" experts testifying in court against gay parents adopting children and later caught soliciting men on gay escort apps; recent history alone is replete with examples of the outlandish hypocrisy of the morally righteous.
I'm off my soapbox. We have one more set of mixes to go and the final one is nothing short of AWESOME.
Until the next time ...ENJOY!

On the morning of the mass shooting at Pulse, the Orlando gay nightclub, I can think of no better way to honor the victims than with a show of unity and in your face FUCK YOU to the perversion that is Islam.
