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

Backspin Volume 5 [The Cheese Mix] | 90’s Eurodance Megamix

As promised, I’m serving up a whole plate full of cheese this week. While last week’s Eurodance set focused primarily on a single genre in dance, The Cheese Mix covers an entire spectrum from the late 80s to 2001. Unless you were living in a cave during this period, you’ll likely instantly recognize all the songs and quickly realize it just works.
While I wouldn’t consider all the songs in this set cheesy, because some are timeless classics, there is enough dairy spread around here that after one listen, you may want to limit your daily intake LOL.
Ultimately, this set is meant to be nothing more than good ole plain fun. In fact, I’ve got enough leftovers to create one more of this focusing on the same period. Look for that in the near future.
If you haven’t read my post yet about the current status of Party Favorz, please take the time to do so. I could really use some feedback about accessing the site, load times, appearance and navigation so I can fix any issues that are not apparent to me.
I’ll be back tomorrow with a treat to close out the week. Until then …ENJOY!

Backspin Volume 4 | 90’s Eurodance Megamix

It’s time to go back, way back …back in time.  Okay, not all that far back but it feels like an eternity.  Yes, folks, I’m talking about the 90's!
The 1990's were kind of a lost era, at least for me.  The whole alternative music scene exploded as did grunge.  House music had made significant inroads in the early part of the decade, but that was quickly supplanted by Trance and those spontaneous FUBARs called RAVEs.   Ultimately, the legal grind caught on and started busting up these parties, which is when it moved above ground and became a massive money-making cluster-fuck for the investors.
Out of all this spurred the late 90's phenomenon called Euro-dance.  These were hyper-fast BPM's, with sweet vocals, catchy as hell lyrics and the occasional obligatory really bad rap in the middle.
Over the course of the next two sets, I’ve collected some of the best of Euro-dance and sprinkled it with a couple of massive house hits (more so on v5) to loosen things up a bit.
For what it’s worth, these dance hits are part of our musical history.   So don’t be ashamed if you still enjoy these sugar-coated synth concoctions.  load these on to your phone, jump in the car and play this shit loud enough for the world to hear!  Yeah, I like 90's Euro-dance …whatcha gonna do about it? ENJOY!

The House Sessions [April 2014]

It’s time for some funky, disco, house shit with the April edition of The House Sessions!  I know I’m running quite a bit late today but I had a lot of work to do on the new site.
First, I wanna wish everybody a happy Easter!  I hope everybody got up this morning and put on their best Easter Bonnet and hunted down some eggs [clears throat].
This is quite possibly been the nicest day in over a week around here and I’ve been inside slaving away for you folks.  Ahh, the things I do for you LOL.  Oh well, still gotta go out and spray away all the pollen off the patio right after this and then I can head over to the pool, pop open a cold one and chill for the rest of the day, at least until Game of Thrones comes on.
This set is for those folks that need some sunshine NOW!  I know I was one of them this past week.  I think I’ll finally be rolling out those Back Spins I’ve been promising all year next week.
Until then …ENJOY!

The EDM Sessions [April 2014]

As many of you may have noticed, Party Favorz is currently down, while I work on the new build but as promised that ain’t stopping me from posting.
As predicted in my year-end Capsule Edition, everybody is trying to score with an EDM anthem and frankly, it’s getting tired already.
Most of the songs are decent but when it fills up an entire 80+ minutes of a set, something has to give.
For the most part, the whole scene is definitely peaking at the moment.  Hopefully some new up and comers challenge the status quo.  In the interim, I broke this puppy up with some harder edges (but not so hard you have to scratch your head and ask what the hell you’re listening to LOL).
The end result is a solid mix of the best in commercial and underground EDM right now.  I hope you can appreciate the direction I’m taking this cause that’s where it’s heading until things turn around.
This is the second solid spring day in the ATL and I hope all is well where ever you may be in the world.  Next week I’ve got a slamming House Sessions going up, which may come early in the week as I’m itching to get that bad boy up.
Until then …ENJOY!

Frankie Knuckles House Music Tribute Volume 2

The resonance of Frankie Knuckles' influence on the house music scene reverberates like the pulsing beats he expertly mixed. Recognized as the "Godfather of House Music," Frankie Knuckles wasn't just a DJ or a producer; he was a trailblazer whose influence transcended generations. As we continue our tribute to this monumental figure in Volume 2, we take a deeper look into the songs and collaborations that further solidified his legendary status.
When you listen to Lisa Stansfield's "Change," remixed by Frankie Knuckles, you're not just hearing a song; you're experiencing an emotional tapestry woven through the deft hands of a master. Knuckles had an uncanny ability to elevate any track he touched, turning them into instant classics. His remix of "Change" is a testament to this knack, making it an unforgettable part of his illustrious portfolio.
Arguably one of his most iconic collaborations came with vocal powerhouse Adeva on "Whadda U Want (From Me)." This track encapsulates what Frankie Knuckles was all about—melding powerful vocals with a beat that keeps you glued to the dance floor. His artistry made the song a standard in house music, symbolizing the epitome of what the genre could offer.
The magic continued with "Your Love," a Frankie Knuckles presentation as part of the Directors Cut featuring Jamie Principle. This track wasn't just a song; it was an anthem, a timeless piece that embodied the essence of house music. When that beat drops, you're not just dancing; you're part of a communal experience that only Knuckles could create.
Speaking of unforgettable experiences, who could ignore his reinterpretation of Toni Braxton's "Un-Break My Heart"? Frankie Knuckles transformed this soulful ballad into a dance-floor anthem, adding another layer of emotion and energy without compromising the song’s original sentiment.
In collaboration with Eric Kupper, Frankie Knuckles brought to life Candi Staton's "Hallelujah Anyway." The duo provided a spiritual and uplifting dimension to the track, making it not just a song but an emotionally charged hymn that elevates the soul while making your feet move uncontrollably.
The depth and breadth of Frankie Knuckles' work are awe-inspiring. From his groundbreaking tracks to his unforgettable collaborations, he created a sonic universe that remains unmatched. As we explore these songs in Volume 2 of our Frankie Knuckles tribute, we come to realize that his impact on house music—and music at large—is immeasurable. His creations are not just songs; they are the cultural fabric of an era and beyond.
Frankie Knuckles may no longer be with us, but through his music, he achieved immortality. His tracks continue to move us, his influence ever-present in the house music landscape.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Frankie Knuckles House Music Tribute Volume 1

Navigating through the storied tapestry of house music, you'll undoubtedly come across the seminal influence of Frankie Knuckles, often lauded as the "Godfather of House Music." While the origins of house can be debated, there's no questioning Frankie Knuckles' everlasting impact on the genre. His legacy resonates not only through the historical corridors of house but also on contemporary dance floors worldwide.
Frankie Knuckles was in the same league as other iconic figures like Shep Pettibone, Lil Louis, Masters at Work (MAW), Todd Terry, David Morales, and Junior Vasquez. These artists collectively laid the foundation for what we know as house music today. However, Frankie stood out for his particular touch—akin to how bees intricately create honey—devising sonic experiences that were both deeply emotive and irresistibly danceable.
One simply cannot discuss Frankie Knuckles without mentioning the cornerstone tracks that define his career. For instance, his treatment of Michael Jackson's "Rock With You" infuses the classic with an even more infectious groove. Similarly, his take on Diana Ross's "Love Hangover" is a timeless reinterpretation that uplifts the original while honoring its essence. He's also responsible for dance floor anthems like "The Pressure [Part 1]" by Sounds of Blackness and his own landmark tracks like "The Whistle Song," which he crafted as part of the Director's Cut project.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIdimVDuSEU
Knuckles was not merely a remixer; he was an alchemist of sound, altering the base elements of existing works to create something entirely new. His collaboration with Satoshi Tomiie on "Tears" is a perfect example of this, as is his involvement in The Shapeshifters' "Back to Basics," where he partnered with Eric Kupper under the Director’s Cut banner.
A plethora of tribute sets already exists, each aiming to honor Frankie Knuckles and his monumental contribution to dance music. Adding my own tribute mix to this growing list is the least I can do to celebrate a man who brought so much joy and innovation to the genre. As we remember Frankie Knuckles, the irreplaceable godfather of house, we can only hope that he's still spinning records in that grand celestial club, awaiting the day we can all join him on the dance floor.
And so, the music plays on. Rest in peace, Frankie Knuckles.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Jennifer Holliday | The Diva Series

Brace yourselves because the vocal powerhouse Jennifer Holliday is storming into our Diva Hall of Fame, and trust me, you don't want to miss this seismic event! This lady's voice is larger than life; it’s an entity of its own that fills every room and touches every heart.
For those who haven't been graced by her towering talent, let's just say Jennifer isn’t your typical, garden-variety diva. Nope, she’s a multi-faceted gem, lighting up stages from Broadway to the club scene. Sure, she underwent a dramatic weight loss journey, but let’s get something straight—this diva’s vocal cords never lost an ounce. She could be big, small, or in-between, but that voice remains her grandest feature.
Remember when she scorched the stage with “And I’m Telling You, I’m Not Going” in Dreamgirls? Just the Rosabel remix alone has burned more calories on the dance floor than a Jane Fonda workout tape! Then there's "Think It Over," remixed into the Thunderpuss, becoming a dance-floor manifesto for all the "you-go-girl" moments in life.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-yGQ8plimc
But let's not overlook "No Frills Love." With Tony Moran's Anthem Mix, this track proves that Jennifer’s got the power to make us move, groove, and believe in the spirit of the dance. And let’s be real, her rendition of “A Woman's Got The Power” leaves no room for argument.
If you've heard her on Ally McBeal, you'd know that her soothing voice could practically serve as your personal life coach.
So let's give it up for the Diva who doesn’t just tell us she’s not going, she compels us to stand, cheer, and dance. It’s high time Jennifer Holliday got her moment in our Diva Hall of Fame. Step aside everyone, a true queen is taking her rightful throne.

Spring Edition 2014

Welcome to the 2014 Spring Edition!  While it may still be a bit nippy in certain parts of the country or world for that matter, other areas are already getting the weather that represents our favorite time of the year …SPRING BABY!
Yes, it’s time to start shedding some of those layers of clothes and in a few months, we’ll have them all off of you [grin].
Jam-packed with some of the hottest tribal-electric, progressive and silly fun-house at the moment, this should get ya’ll in the mood to head back to the gym and WERQ it out for the Summer months [see paragraph above].
We still have two more Diva entries to go before I launch the April EDM Sessions.  With the WMC over and new material dropping every day, this should be a slamming set.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend.  It looks to be an awesome day today in the ATL; sadly I’m still under the weather and won’t be out to enjoy it.
I’ll be back with something new before you can get off two snaps.  ENJOY!

Celine Dion | The Diva Series

Celine Dion—the vocal powerhouse of our era and the Diva Hall of Fame's newest inductee. Drawing parallels to the legendary Barbra Streisand, Celine's dynamic vocal range is the perfect marriage of heartfelt emotion and whispery elegance, all wrapped up in one spellbinding package.
Her crossover from French crooner to English-speaking pop diva in the early '90s was nothing short of meteoric. Since then, she's been a global sensation, captivating us with hit after hit. But let's focus on the dance floor gems that have gotten Party Favorz audiences on their feet, shall we?
Celine's iconic "My Heart Will Go On," with the legendary Tony Moran at the remix helm, transcends its reputation as a movie theme song. It transforms into a big room tribal anthem masterpiece that takes your heart on a journey, from the DJ booth to the edge of the dance floor. The beats pound like a heart in love, pulling us into a dance trance we never want to escape from.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14h3YhPhvlo
And if you thought that was exhilarating, wait till you hear Hex Hector's remix of "I Drove All Night." This track is a revved-up anthem that has Celine's vocals cruising at top speeds, igniting every inch of the dance space. Who knew a song about a long drive to have sex with the one you love could take us on such a euphoric dance floor ride?
In a world full of music, Celine stands alone, an iconic force to be reckoned with. We can talk accolades and album sales all day, but you and I both know that her music speaks louder than any award or chart position ever could.
So, let's not overthink it. Get those speakers to max volume and celebrate the legendary Celine Dion, the Diva Hall of Fame's latest superstar.

Toni Braxton | The Diva Series

Get ready, because today we're shining the Diva Hall of Fame spotlight on a voice that needs no introduction—Toni Braxton. This smoky-voiced songstress burst onto the scene in the early '90s, not just as the demo voice behind Anita Baker for the Boomerang soundtrack's "You Were Meant For Me," but as a full-blown star when Anita gave Babyface the nudge to keep the original vocals. And voila! A legendary DIVA was born.
However, Toni's ascent to stardom wasn't all glitz and glam. She famously tussled with LaFace Records over the rights and royalties to her music, sparking a financial storm that led to a very public bankruptcy. Despite these obstacles, the resilience and voice that only Toni could offer were undeterred. She eventually patched things up with Babyface, because how can you keep two greats apart for too long?
But hey, let's talk about those chart-topping hits that not only dominated the radio airwaves but also got a thumping dance-floor makeover. "Un-Break My Heart," when spun into the Soul Hex Anthem (Soul Solution & Hex Hector Collboration) remix, is an irresistible force of nature that propels everyone from their barstools right to the middle of the floor. Its melancholic lyrics find a new, uplifting home amidst soaring tribal beats became a gay anthem for the ages.
Or what about "You're Making Me High," in the David Morales Classic Mix? This version amplifies everything sultry about the original track, adding rhythmic intensity that's as intoxicating as the subject matter. And let's not forget the transformative Frankie Knuckles Remix of "I Don't Want To," or the sizzling HQ2 Mix of "Spanish Guitar." These versions allow her vocal talents to shine in a club-friendly atmosphere, captivating us all.
Simply put, Toni Braxton is a triple threat; her voice, her visage, and her unstoppable energy make her an undeniable diva. The number of chart-toppers she's amassed is staggering, and her adaptability to the dance floor makes her a Diva Hall of Fame shoo-in.
So, let's raise our glasses, turn up the volume, and give a roaring welcome to the incomparable Toni Braxton.

Cher | The Diva Series

Cher kicked off her Dressed To Kill tour last night in Arizona (among all places, clear throat).  I consider this the Farewell, Farewell tour but then again, never say never.  As she famously said on the last go-around, she’d still tour when she’s toothless and her tits are hanging down to her knees and we’d still go see her LOL.
In all seriousness, Cher is an American ICON, a diva, and a GODDESS.  Us gay folks have been in love with her for decades, because of her style, her outrageous outfits, her ability to garner headlines in the 70s, 80s, and 90s… and her voice and beauty, plastic surgery, and all.
Most importantly, the connection she has to our community is a bond that can never be broken.  It’s her style, grace, and inner beauty that endears us to her.  Never once have we been betrayed and her acceptance and appreciation for our community are her greatest gift.
The first set I ever created for Cher was completed for my good friend Terry back in 2003.  That set never saw the light of day beyond giving it to him.  Since then, I’ve created two more but I have to say that I FINALLY managed to work this mother out.  The Cher set is a fitting tribute to the Goddess of all who came after her and I can firmly assure you that you won’t be disappointed.
So put your dancing shoes on because Cher is IN THE HOUSE!

Hey, diva devotees, get ready for round two because Mariah Carey is back for her second induction into the Diva Hall of Fame. Now, I know what you're thinking—what more could we possibly say about this vocal powerhouse? Well, it turns out there's plenty more to talk about.
The first induction was like Mariah's greatest hits, but this second lap focuses on her more recent songs and remixes that you'll definitely want to add to your playlist. While Mariah's been keeping it somewhat low-key these days—possibly due to Sony cooking up something big for her next album—we're treated to a more subdued yet equally compelling side of Mimi.
Now, let's delve into some of these jams, shall we? If you're all about those club-thumping beats, then you'll absolutely live for "Obsessed" in its Cahill Club Mix form. It's a delectable dance floor anthem that's as addictive as Mimi's high notes. And speaking of high notes, "Hero" gets a superb reimagining from Gustavo Scorpio's Private Mix that lets the diva's vocal acrobatics shine through the pulsating beats.
One track you can't overlook is "Triumphant (Get 'Em)," especially in the Danny Verde Club Mix. This version gives an already uplifting song an adrenaline shot, sending it straight to the dance floor heavens. And who could ignore the buttery smooth vibes of "Beautiful," transformed by DJ MichaelAngelo into a remix that's—dare we say—even more beautiful?

Now, I don't expect to see Mimi twerking à la Beyoncé anytime soon, but she doesn't need to. Her contributions to the world of dance music, R&B, and pop are immense and should not be underestimated. She has shown immense versatility, from her ballads turned into anthems like "My All" in David Morales' Classic Club Mix, to her modern classics like "We Belong Together" in Peter Rauhofer's Reconstruction Club Mix.
So, whether you're a casual fan or one of her lambs, this set is a testament to her unwavering influence and an offering to her devotees. With her next album on the horizon, it's unclear what musical direction Mariah will take next. But for now, let's bask in the glory that is this second induction.
Ladies, gentlemen, and fans of fabulousness, let's give it up once more for the indomitable Mariah Carey.
Until the next time... ENJOY!
