EDM & House Music: Party Favorz (Circuit, Funky & Dance Classics)

Leann Rimes | The Diva Series | Refresh

Thanks to John, one of Party Favorz' followers, I was reminded of the fabulousness of one of country music’s greatest voices, Miss Leann Rimes.
Often criticized for being too fat or too skinny, too country or too pop, or even [gasp] a husband-stealing homewrecker, Miss Rimes is the perfect candidate for DIVA status. When the tabloids write about your every sneeze and the paparazzi take pictures of your every move, you know you have arrived.
Add to all these things a voice that most artists would sell their soul for — the gates of the Diva Hall of Fame just open right up to welcome you into a diverse and elite field of your peers.
Her willingness to embrace the translation of her music for the dancefloor is mere icing on the cake and likely one of the things we gays love about her.
From the early mega-hit How Do I live to the soaring Suddenly and today’s saucy Spitfire, Leann has always had her ear to the streets and has been remixed by some of the greatest producers in the dance industry.
At the tender age of 31, she isn’t about to quit and has a long career ahead of her. It’s for this reason and everything above that Party Favorz bestows our greatest honor on Miss Rimes and welcomes her to the Diva Hall of Fame.

Madonna | Vintage Volume I & II | The Diva Series

It’s no secret that August is Madonna’s birthday month and in keeping with the ultimate annual HOLIDAY CELEBRATION, Party Favorz is serving up some diva-licious delights to honor the occasion.
Much like last year’s celebratory release, which you can still pick up here. This first set is composed of modern-day bootleg refreshers and a few never released originals, which fit in quite nicely.
Madonna reigns QUEEN supreme in the Diva Hall of Fame and she commands everybody to GET UP AND CELEBRATE!
Until the next time...ENJOY!
This set was originally supposed to be one volume but at the time — many followers were berating me to create smaller episodes so they can burn them to CD. Shortly after, I was made aware that people were burning these mixes to CDs and selling them as bootlegs in stores. I've since gone back and combined the two volumes into one as it was originally intended.
Donate and keep the party going!

Serve Chilled

I had some free time about a week ago (yes, I am granted that small window of luxury on occasion), and was checking out EDM Sauce’s list of 14 Songs to Add to Your Summer Playlist.  I already owned about half the list where some had been recently used in the 2014 Beach House, while others I was not yet familiar with.  This reminded me that I had been stowing away songs into a separate folder since last year with the intent of creating a new chill set but never got around to working on. it  I decided now would be the perfect time to resurrect the Chill section of the site and maintain it going forward.
The four sets listed there now are no longer available and likely will not be going forward.  I like to think of these as my creative masterpieces or Pink Floyd’s “The Wall “ LOL.  Put together at a very dark time in my life when the relationship between Rick and I wasn’t exactly stellar and also a time where so much bitterness, hate, and uncertainty was being spewed by the crazies on the right in this country, I stitched together songs from different genres with a series of sound effects that reflected not only my mood but that of the turmoil in the US.
If you rewind even further back to 2008 and 2009 in the Party Favorz history, I used to make a series called the Deep Edition.   It consisted of a lot of Deep House, Electronic, and overall songs that were typically moody by nature and didn’t fit in with the other work I was doing at the time.  By 2010, that series was killed off entirely.  Since the 2011 re-boot of Party Favorz, I’ve had countless people tell me that the Deep Edition was hands down their favorite series.    I didn’t have the kind of stats that are available to me today to gauge its popularity so maybe I made a mistake.
Jumping back even FURTHER, I used to make mixtapes for all my friends every year at Christmas.  My mixtapes typically consisted of a few popular songs intertwined with cool cuts and artists I thought people should know about.  I’ve had more old friends tell me that because of those tapes, they discovered this artist or this type of music and still had the tapes to this day.  Who knew my passion for all things music could make such an impact?  I’ve always done what it is I like to do and then share it with anyone willing to listen.
Jumping forward to the original topic at hand, expect the Chill sets I plan on putting out to be a little of the Deep Edition and mixtapes from years past.  Likely a mixture of genres that are often moody but with an overall happy tone to level it out.  The first one I’m putting out is a combination of House, Deep House, NuDisco, Indie, and a slice of heavenly Brazilian samba thrown in for good measure.  It is eclectic, to say the least, but cohesive enough for you to follow.  In short, I think you’ll get it and if not, this series ain’t gonna be for you.  That’s okay cause everybody knows Party Favorz has something for just about everyone.
As I had mentioned in previous posts, I will be taking an extended vacation from the site over the next month.  I will definitely pop in for Madonna’s annual birthday mix and I plan on putting out a summer farewell set by the end of August titled Summer XO.  If I don’t reduce my services on my Libsyn account at the end of July, I may just quietly post some older sets that I wouldn't mind having available for posterity's sake.  I’m not saying for certain but you know me, it’s always hard to just walk away from my baby for too long, even if it’s for a self-imposed mandatory rest.  If anything, I’ll still be around to answer your questions like “how do I download a song?” LOL
Until Madge’s B-day… ENJOY!

Summer Edition 2K14 Volume 2

So you say need some more tribalistic fun for your summer workouts?  No problem cause I’m sending up the Summer Ed. pt. 2 as promised and this is 20 degrees hotter than the first.
Warning, users listening to this mix have been prone to serious bouts of sweaty glands, uncontrollable pelvic thrusts while grunting aye papi, aye papi …AYE PAPI SI!
I do want to point out that the ultra HOT Carlos Gallardo remix of Rise Like A Phoenix by Conchita Wurst, was part of his submission to some remix contest for Eurovision and not officially released.  Consequently, you’ll hear a few drops with his name throughout the song but I managed to eliminate most of them.  I wouldn't normally include a song in a mix that’s laced with a DJ call-out, but this is just so damn good, I couldn't control myself [refer to line two of this post for additional warnings].
Tomorrow is Friday and as I had previously mentioned, I've got a special treat going up as I re-open a category on the site that’s been inactive for some time.  If you want to get a sneak peek, it’s already posted on my Grooveshark page.  Until then …ENJOY!

Summer Edition 2k14 Volume 1

Dead smack in the middle of the coolest summer I can ever recall, Party Favorz is here to reclaim the heat with the 2014 Summer Edition.  In fact, it’s so freaking hot, I had to spread it out over two sets.
I’m off today and tomorrow so I’m not gonna spend a lot of time talking about this set and would rather let it speak for itself.  Though, I feel compelled to give a noticeable shout-out to John LePage and Brian Cua.  Much like DJ Grind and Toy Armada, the pairing of these two guys are producing some seriously sweet nectar.  Please, keep ‘em coming!
I’ll be sending part two up tomorrow and then Friday I’ll be posting to a section of the site that’s been inactive for a very long while.  That will be my special treat for you folks while I take a break from the site.
Until then …ENJOY!

Summer Hot Mess 2K14 Volume 2

I readily admit to being a pessimist over this year’s crop of EDM offerings but my perspective has suddenly shifted.  After having kept the 2014 Catch-up on repeat and now wrapping up the second part to the Summer Hot Mess, I can honestly say there has been some really damn good music that’s been released this year.
Picking up where pt. 1 left off, the Summer Hot Mess pt. 2 relies heavily on current EDM smashes and several that will soon be.  Charli XCX makes a mid-summer bid with Boom Clap, a song that is already heating up at radio and will soon explode on the world’s dance floors with the Cahill remix.  Paramore drops a little disco-pop on us with their latest Ain’t It Funny, a personal favorite.
The sleeper hit of the summer has got to go to Joywave’s Tongues.  The original is a fun low-tech 80s throwback with a hilarious video to back it up.  The remixes by Sted-E & Hybrid Heights and DJ Laszlo take it to a whole new level.  Once those bouncy beats kick in, you’re hooked in a loop that you won’t get out of your head for days.
Robin Thicke’s Forever Love is a plea for forgiveness for sticking his dick in just about anything on two legs.  It’s likely a smart move on his part to help prevent his ex from bleeding him financially, then again I digress.  Jennifer and Nicki make a show with their new offerings (both of which I’d cast a shoulder of ambivalence towards).  Capital Cities follows up their massive 2013 hit Safe and Sound with One Minute More, which is another excellent slice of summer electro-pop.
We also have proven staples like Matthew Koma’s Wasted, Rita Ora’s I Will Never Let You Down and Calvin Harris’ Summer.  You’ll notice that R3hab, who has been cleansing his remixes lately with a more polished tone has remixed all three of these songs lending him more commercial cred, while still allowing him to burn the barn down with the same songs in his live performances.  A very smart move if you ask me.
Cosmic Dawn’s remix of Beyonce’s XO is the perfect example of cell phones lighting up the night in a nice slow sway during a live performance.  Why his version was not pushed to radio still mystifies me.  Finally, DJ Taj created a mandatory mashup of Am I Wrong by Nico & Vinz.  To be honest, this is by far the best remix of this song I’ve heard so far.  Using piece’s of Syn Coles remix of Find You by Zedd and Matthew Koma, DJ Taj manages to give this lilting summer smash some dance floor wings without demolishing the original. You can pick up a copy for free on his Facebook page here.
The 2K14 Summer Edition for the circuit boys appears to be in great shape as I put the finishing touches on it.  I’ll likely have those two sets out early this next week so I can take a much-needed break from the site.  I hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far and has a fantastic weekend.  Until the next time …ENJOY!

Summer Hot Mess 2K14 Volume 1

Pushing forward into the summer, the 2K14 Hot Mess delivers the goods in the latest commercial EDM and those songs with staying power that continue to enjoy new remix treatments.
Between the website move, GoDaddy server issues forcing me to move elsewhere and still trying to keep up with posts, I can honestly say I’m feeling the burn, as in OUT.
Pt. 2 of the Summer Hot Mess will go up on Friday and I still have the 2014 Summer Edition ready to go next week for the circuit boys.  After that, I plan on taking an extended break from the site to work on some other projects, focus on work and possibly enjoy some of life’s little pleasures, which are far and few between these days.
This doesn’t mean I’m going anywhere, but I just feel the need to step back for a bit.  Regardless, ya’ll still have the promised sets going up to fulfill your summer escapism.  Until Friday …ENJOY!

I kickstarted my day with a visit to Ian, the Starbucks hottie, as the crisp morning air sets the mood. Now, let's dive into Strict Machine, the electrifying finale of the Epic Circuit Anthems series. Prepare for big room drama that will ignite your senses.
Within this set, the Jonathan Peters remix of Paula Cole's "I Believe in Love" stands tall as the epitome of epicness. Clocking in at 14 minutes, this track boasts soaring diva vocals, heart-pounding beats, and dramatic moments that will leave you breathless. Although finding the perfect copy proved challenging, we've carefully tempered the song, ensuring a quality listening experience.
Another monumental track included is Kim English's "Unspeakable Joy," thanks to Razor 'n' Guido's masterful production. With tightened mix precision, we've enhanced the song's uplifting essence by eliminating unnecessary drops. Each remaining drop becomes a highly anticipated moment, adding to the thrill of the anthem.
In the coming months, we'll assess the response and delve into the numbers. If the feedback is positive, expect more sets in the future. For now, savor these iconic gay circuit anthem classics as we prepare for the upcoming summer EDM sets.
Wishing a Happy 4th of July to our US friends and a fabulous weekend to everyone else. Stay tuned for more exciting beats. Until then, enjoy the music!

Iconic Circuit Anthem Classics Megamix — Filthy Gorgeous

Introducing 'Filthy Gourgeous' featuring Iconic Circuit Anthem Classics that are as hot as the guy on the cover. This set unleashes the drama and big beats on the dancefloor.
Prepare for an electrifying journey as we dive into the world of iconic circuit anthem classics. Filthy Gorgeous takes the baton from its predecessors, delivering a powerhouse of tracks featuring stunning vocals from Annie Lennox, Christina Aguilera, and an infectious rework of Vanity 6's Nasty Girl by Inaya Day. Peter Rauhofer's contributions are a testament to his unmatched talent. Oh, how we miss him!
Hex Hector, the master of big room drama, concludes this set with his massive production of Jennifer Lopez's Waiting For Tonight. It's only fitting to include this track that has captivated our hearts.
The third and fourth volumes of the Epic Circuit Anthems series were the first ones I put together. Some tracks were carefully sliced to rein in their grandeur, while others were left untouched—embracing their wild spirit. I understand that opinions may vary, with purists wanting the children to run free and the prudent seeking a touch of restraint. So, you'll experience the best of both worlds—a blend of creative decisions that have worked harmoniously.
Although the 4th of July is approaching, nothing will stop me from sharing the final set, aptly titled Strict Machine. Tomorrow, I'll take some time to curate the tracklist for the upcoming summer EDM set, potentially named Hot Mess (which is anything but). Don't worry, I'll make sure to enjoy some rays, barbecues, and beer before the fireworks. Until then, savor the music and anticipate tomorrow's exhilarating finale.

Beach House 2K14 Volume 2

Happy Friday everybody!    The temp starts off warm with the Sam Smith slow-cooker “Stay With Me,” but quickly builds from there.  Duke Dumont’s “I Got U” get’s yet another remix treatment by none other than MK, who’s been doing his thing in house music since 1993.  While not as well-known or famous as some of his 90's cohorts, he’s most famous for his remix of the Nightcrawlers “Push the Feeling On.”  He has subsequently produced tracks for Pitbull and Will Smith.
Wise D & Kobe pluck the late 80's acid house classic "Sexpress" and give it an upbeat house treatment, while Block & Crown take the disco classic by Odyssey “Native New Yorker” (a personal all-time favorite) titled "New York City Girls" and stamped out a fierce filtered-disco thump, maintaining the soul of the original while dumping most of the lyrics, save the chorus.
Tommy Trash updates the early millennial number one “Don’t Call Me Baby” by Madison Avenue with a fresh vibe that breathes new life into this classic.  Mark Knight takes on Kylie’s “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” with a really deep and dark groove on “Your Love.”
We also see the return of Miss Patti Brooks (of TGIF fame) on “I Like the Way You Move,” a powerful house-stomper like you've never heard from her before.  That song also features backing vocals by former Supreme Scherrie Payne with Joyce Vincent-Wilson and Pamela Vincent of Tony Orlando and Dawn fame from the early 70s.
As promised, I dropped the Party Favorz edited version of Frankie Knuckles’ final mix for Michael Jackson’s “Love Never Felt So Good,” then begin to lower the temp once more with Nile Rodgers' “Do What You Wanna Do” and the major deep house hit “Waves” by Mr. Probz.  I’d say that song along with “I Got U” will end up being two of the biggest house numbers of the year.
You can expect the final two sets of Epic Circuit Anthems to drop this coming week.  After that, I have no clue what’s in the bag BUT you know it’s gonna be good so make sure to follow this site for continued updates throughout the summer.
That’s pretty much all she wrote for now.  Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.  Until the next time …ENJOY!

Beach House 2K14 Volume 1

It’s time for that funkydiscohouseshit …YEAH, BABY!   Comprised of the finest disco, funk, soul and deep house of the moment, the 2K14 Beach House is on FIRE this year!!!  In fact, I couldn’t contain the fire and it ended up spreading into a second set, which will be dropping on Friday.  Just in time for your 4th of July holiday, I’m letting loose some serious sunshine for the beach lovers and the pool-side margarita-sipping divas.
No doubt when you do a quick scan of the track-list, you will notice two notable songs that may leave you scratching your head.  Before you go off half-cocked and start sending me nasty messages about why I mucked-up your summertime fun with Katy Perry, I suggest you listen to it first.  Her latest single Birthday was released with a gazillion remixes.  Mark Picchiotti took the opportunity to throw in not one but three different mixes (house, disco, and beach), all of which are exceptional and surprisingly fit the song really well. Besides, with “beach” in the title, it was a surefire bet it would be included.
The other oddity you may ask yourself is why didn’t I include the Frankie Knuckles amazing remix of Michael Jackson’s Love Never Felt So Good.  Honestly, I have been impressed with all of the remixes for this song and DJ Kue’s filtered-disco version was just too delicious to leave out.  So, Frankie’s take (which was his very last remix before his passing) IS included in volume 2 coming out Friday.  While his version was left intact by Eric Kupper, I had no choice but to do some creative editing to reel the song in because this ain’t the 90s no more.  Regardless, his final offering is a fitting tribute to the King of Pop and another gold star in the legacy that Frankie leaves behind.
Finally, DO NOT MISS out on the last track Jubel by Kingande.  This song is an OMFG summer tune!  The original version came out last year but Ultra picked up the distributing rights for the US and commissioned several remixes for the song.  I fully expect Jubel to lodge itself into the most memorable summer songs of 2014.  Expect to be hearing either this or the amazing Tube & Berger remix on the upcoming Hot Mess summer EDM set I’ve got scheduled later in July.
I’ve got an interview with my company for a management position later this afternoon so everybody wishes me luck.  After all, I need the money so I can keep feeding your rapacious appetites for all things Party Favorz [grin].  I’ll be back on Friday with volume 2 of Beach House.
Until then …ENJOY!

The Biggest Dance Songs of the Year…So Far!: Catch-Up 2014

Party Favorz is proud to present the biggest dance songs of the year so far all hand-picked by your favorite host for our new annual mid-year series Catch-Up.  These are the songs that are likely on heavy rotation in your local club or in your smartphone.  If they’re not, you’re probably on the wrong site or you’re behind the curve in which case, we need to get you caught up.
Structured much like Blow Your Own Horn that I put out at the end of the year in 2013, this set was put together in one sitting and edited on the fly.  The 2014 Catch-Up is your must-have for summer party fun and I promise you shall want for not.  Take it with you wherever you go and when you need to get the party started, just put this on and blast it LOUD!
Because this is a non-stop partylicious endeavor featuring the biggest dance songs of the year, I did not provide a cue file for skipping around.  Just play it from start to finish and then hit repeat.
Until the next time...ENJOY!
