The EDM Sessions [February 2014]

I sat down a couple of days ago and started going through the latest tracks for the next EDM Sessions with low expectations for pulling together some solid tunes.  Much to my surprise, there is a lot of great stuff to finally hit the streets allowing me to slap this puppy together in record time.
I plucked what I liked and then hit the delete button for the rest.  Then I dropped the tunes into my software and presto they all fell together very nicely.
Despite no long versions of Cedric Gervais's remix of Miley Cyrus' “Adore You” nor The ChainSmoker’s take on Elle’s “Goodness Gracious,” the treatments they were given are SO OUTSTANDING, I had to include them in their radio formats.
Overall, this is one solid set that is so worthy, I had to put it out a week earlier than anticipated.
I’ve already started compiling the 2014 Spring Edition, which will see the light of day later in March but had to push back the BackSpin I had promised last week.  I am also looking at some possible new Diva Series comps but no promises on that just yet.
For now, take on this banger set as it should very well get ya’ll through the next 30 days or so.
Until the next time …ENJOY!

Glitter Bomb

What the …? Oh yeah baby, it’s time for some more rockin reelin gotta get that disco feelin!
It’s so not like me to release another disco set less than thirty days after the last, but the winter blues and lack of sunshine have left an empty void in my soul and ANYTHING that would pick my spirits up would be a welcome departure from these cold and dreary days.  Frankly, funky disco house music always does the trick, so here it is!
In fact, this set fell together so effortlessly, I felt compelled to go ahead and share it. I figured a quick adrenaline shot of some funky beats should get everyone through the rest of the season. Besides, most of the EDM coming out so far this year is either shit or sounds like something we’ve all heard 1000 times before; so that’s gonna need to bake a while longer before I go back and start combing through current releases again.  I've also got a pair of Back Spins that have been sitting on my hard drive since last year that I think I’ll send up next week without any fanfare nor promotion.  If you’re into classic Euro-dance then those will provide you with a nice little classic throwback the decade we all know and love called the 90s.  Right now, if you’re needing a little pick-me-up, then, by all means, download this sucker and GET READY TO DANCE!  Enjoy!!!

Winter Edition 2014

There are so many variations of the Winter Edition cover I could have gone with this year.  Given the controversy surrounding the Gay Olympics this year, Sochi would have been an obvious choice as would Mardi Gras. For that matter, the massive cold weather we’ve experienced this year as both poles of the earth becomes warmer the colder air filters down into the Americas but that’s not very sexy.
Instead, I chose Valentines.  Look at it this way, this could be seen as support for marriage equality, our love for all things Olympics and the athletes that compete in them or even our love of the debauchery that takes place in New Orleans at the end of the month.  Take your pic!
Frankly, I’m leaning towards debauchery and hedonism, which is always more fun [grin].  One thing I know for sure, after stuffing our faces with turkey and slacking at the gym, this mix will definitely get you primed and pumped for the warmer days ahead.  ENJOY!

Don’t Stop! 2014

As promised, I’m sending up the first EDM set of 2014 aptly titled Don’t Stop the counterpart to the same set at this time in 2013.
It took me a while to wrap my head around this one, probably from taking a little time away from things but ultimately I managed to pull it out (at least methinks).
Consider this your kickstarter for the year, cause we got a lot of bangin' ahead.
Hope everyone is bundled up and warm cause it looks like we got yet another round of freezing temps getting ready to barrel down on the US.
I nailed down the Winter Edition, which I plan on dropping around the same time next so until then …ENJOY!

Disco Bomb

The cover art for this set was completed at the same time I made last year’s Disco Lounge.  Originally, it was intended to be a companion set to the original but lack of additional songs worthy on inclusion forced me to set it aside until I could fill in the pieces.  Those gaps have now been closed and I am pleased to finally be dropping a set I would liken to sophisticated house.
I just closed shop on the first EDM set for 2014 and am putting the finishing touches on the Winter Edition.  Expect something new the next two weeks.
Hope your weekend is going well and I’ll be back next weekend with something new for the EDM folks.  Until then…
ENJOY!

Blow Your Own Horn 2014 | The Ultimate New Year’s Dance Party Mix

I’ve been playing around with some new software called Mash-up that I really like, but am still on a learning curve.
Overall, I am really pleased how this set came out, even if I had to finish the second half using my old standby.
Basically, I took the best songs of 2013 and ran them through a juicer where I extracted the best parts and then spiced it up a bit with some 2012 favs creating the ultimate party concoction this side of the Atlantic.
As I get better with the software, you can expect some sets to be chopped and blocked later this year. I’m also leaning towards dumping the Time Capsule Series at the end of the year and just blasting a party set like this in its place.
After all, the majority of the songs have already appeared in one form or another in my sets throughout the year, not to mention my Pride set, which typically recaps the best of the first six months anyway.
Sorry, no cue file for this set as this is meant to be listened to from beginning to end.  I hope everyone has a fabulous New Year’s celebration planned. Please take your safety into consideration as well as others.
As I move into new territory in 2014, I hope you all stay for the ride.  It could get a little bumpy with my new home here at house-mixes.com but I am confident I have made the right choice going forward.
Happy New Year Everybody! –K

Top Dance Songs of 2013 Volume 4

Presenting volume 4 of the "Top Dance Songs of 2013" series.
Having meticulously crafted all four parts over the previous months, it is evident that Electronic Dance Music (EDM), as most know it, might be nearing a plateau.
That is not to suggest that its popularity will decline in 2014; on the contrary, it will continue to soar. However, the oversaturation and commercialized sounds pushed out by major labels, producing anthem after anthem, has blurred the lines between distinct artists and producers. This "copycat" strategy seems to be the prevailing trend, echoing successes like the Swedish House Mafia in the "Top Dance Songs of 2013".
Young talent, Zedd, provides an excellent case in point. The enormous success of "Clarity" last year and "Spectrum" from the "Top Dance Songs of 2013", both from his debut with Interscope, led to the release of the expanded version of his album. The new single, "Stay the Night", unfortunately followed the same blueprint, hinting at a creative impasse by his label. 2014 could offer him a fresh chance to deliver something unique that resonates both on the dance floor and radio.
Avicii understands the need for innovation. His single "Wake Me Up", initially criticised for its country or folksy undertones, turned out to be a colossal EDM track of the year. If a major label were involved, we might never have heard this gem.
This conversation brings us to the 2013 disco revival led by the legendary Daft Punk. It was a smart move by Sony to put substantial promotion behind their latest project. "Get Lucky" landed a spot in the "Top Dance Songs of 2013", and rightfully so. With a groovy bassline reminiscent of Bernard Edwards and Nile Rogers' smooth guitar work, the track would comfortably fit into a 1979 playlist. Though a full-fledged disco comeback might not be on the horizon, it wouldn't be surprising to see its offshoot, NuDisco, breaking into mainstream music in 2014.
The surge in EDM's popularity, evident from the likes of Tiesto's residency in Las Vegas, mirrors the significant financial investments the genre has attracted. The fuse lit in the "Top Dance Songs of 2013" will continue to burn brightly into 2014, perhaps reaching a crescendo in 2015.
Party Favorz has been tracking these shifts from Disco to Hi-NRG to House Music and Trance. Every dance music trend evolves from its predecessor, typically with a unique twist, and the future should be no different. While we're not predicting specific sound trends, our dedication to dance music remains constant. With the "Top Dance Songs of 2013" series coming to an end, Party Favorz is fully prepared to guide everyone towards "the next big thing" as it unfolds.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Top Dance Songs of 2013 Volume 3

As the holiday season draws near, we're thrilled to present the third volume of our "Top Dance Songs of 2013" series. In keeping with the annual tradition, we've gathered the best dance hits of the year into an exciting compilation, including tracks like Lana Del Rey's "Summertime Sadness" (Cedric Gervais Remix), Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" featuring Nile Rodgers & Pharrell Williams, and Kelly Clarkson's "People Like Us" (Show & Tell Remix).
This year, we've also incorporated some pop crossovers like Miley Cyrus's "We Can't Stop" (DJ Laszlo Club Mix), Rihanna's "Right Now" featuring David Guetta (Cosmic Dawn Club Mix), and OneRepublic's "Counting Stars" (It's the Kue Club Mix), making this series a vibrant mix of the "Top Dance Songs of 2013". However, we're contemplating if this multi-part series could be more appealingly presented in two volumes.
When we initially embarked on this year-end project, we presented only two volumes. Over the years, this expanded to eight, before settling back down to four. Recently, we've developed a fresh approach for the website, an amalgamated year-end compilation using variant versions from past sets. These also include several standout hits from 2012 that maintained their popularity into 2013, or as some might say, tracks that remained ubiquitous long after their peak.
How this new approach will be received is hard to predict, given it's a departure from our past offerings. This non-stop party mix was crafted in a single take, providing the closest experience to a live set you can expect from us. More details will be shared when we release it next week, but it's safe to say this could potentially shape the future of Party Favorz and our approach to creating mixes. For now, let's conclude the "Top Dance Songs of 2013" series, allowing us some downtime for the rest of the year.
Stay tuned for the final volume next week, where we'll share insights on the direction we believe EDM is moving towards in 2014 and beyond.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Top Dance Songs of 2013 Volume 2

Delving into the vibrant world of Electronic Dance Music (EDM), we're excited to release the second volume of our "Top Dance Songs of 2013" series. This compilation is a rhythmic journey, transporting listeners through the most pulsating dance tracks of the year, including standout hits like Calvin Harris's "I Need Your Love" featuring Ellie Goulding, and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis's "Same Love" (Cutmore Club Mix).
This series, a definitive part of our "Top Dance Songs of 2013", also embraces popular cross-genre hits. Ellie Goulding's "Burn" receives a transformative remix from renowned DJ Tiesto, bringing a unique EDM flavour to the pop anthem. In similar fashion, the Britney Spears' dance floor hit "Work Bitch" gets an infectious remix from George M., further enriching our 2013 collection.
An integral part of the "Top Dance Songs of 2013" list is Zedd's "Clarity", featuring Foxes, that became a dancefloor staple. This list encapsulates the unique energy and innovation of EDM in 2013, showcasing not just popular tracks but also those that pushed the genre's boundaries.
Over the years, the format of this year-end series has evolved. Initially presented in two volumes, it expanded to eight before reducing to the current four-part format. We've also recently experimented with a consolidated year-end set, infusing past hits with fresh remixes.
This new approach, a departure from our previous offerings, has created a non-stop party mix, crafted in one take. It's the closest you'll get to a live Party Favorz set. More details will be revealed when we release it next week. This could potentially shape the future of Party Favorz and how we approach our mixes.
For now, let's immerse ourselves in the "Top Dance Songs of 2013" and enjoy the unique blend of rhythm and melody. Tune in next week for the final volume and our thoughts on the future direction of EDM.
Until then, enjoy the beats of 2013!

Top Dance Songs of 2013 Volume 1

Welcome to our series on the "Top Dance Songs of 2013", our annual series where we distill the year's best Electronic Dance Music (EDM) into a multi-podcast listening experience.
Condensing a year's worth of phenomenal EDM into these four installments is no small feat. Certain tracks might be overlooked or not make the cut, while the inclusion of others could raise some eyebrows. Our process of selection is informed by a blend of Beatport and the Billboard Dance Club chart, personal preferences, audience vibes, and feedback from fans across various platforms.
Our "Top Dance Songs of 2013" list features a variety of engaging tracks, such as Katy Perry's "Roar" (Cosmic Dawn Club Remix) and Rihanna's "The Monster" featuring Eminem (Majestic Audio Bootleg). We've also included Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" featuring T.I. & Pharrell (The Thin Red Men Club Mix), a song that had people grooving all through 2013.
Tegan & Sara's "Closer" (Sultan & Ned Shepard Remix) and Fatboy Slim & Riva Starr's "Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat" (Calvin Harris Mix) have also found a place on our compilation. Even pop crossover hits like Will.I.Am's "Scream & Shout" featuring Britney Spears (Deen Creed Remix) grace our "Top Dance Songs of 2013" list, showcasing the wide range of styles and genres that came together to shape the year in EDM.
It's all subjective, open to debate and dependent on one's personal preferences. As an example, while "Gangnam Style" made our list in the previous year, Ylvis' "The Fox" didn't, due to its divisive reception. What one listener might find catchy, another might deem annoying, as we experienced when including it on Jingle Electric a few weeks ago.
But for now, let's dive into the beats, rhythm and exhilarating energy that made up the "Top Dance Songs of 2013".
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Holiday Edition 2013

As we roll down to the end of the year, I want to make sure that as many people as possible understand that Party Favorz WILL BE MOVING our servers to a new home by December 22. In fact, I’m already at Mixcloud, which is great for streaming and they even have an app for your iPhone or Android (sorry no Windows Phone yet). Sorry, they don’t allow downloads but there is a way to do it if you figured out how to download songs off of Soundcloud when there is no link.
I’ve also set up shop at House-Mixes.com, which does allow me to supply folks with download links. So, if you get your updates via Pod-o-matic, you would be wise to sign up for these other sites and follow me there. The best option is to like my Facebook page or sign up for email updates at partyfavorz.com.
I’m not sure just yet how that will affect those of you who get your downloads on iTunes, so I’ll have to research a little more.
In the meantime, I’m sending up my annual Holiday Edition for the circuit boys. I pulled a rabbit out of my ass to make this DIVALICIOUS Holiday Edition come together and I’ll be damned if it ain’t near perfection.
Gotta get back to work, so I’ll leave it at that other than to say ENJOY!

Jingle Electric 2013

As promised, delivering the final EDM set Jingle Electric for 2013 right to your inbox.
It’s unusual for this time of year to have slim options for new music, but in the end, I managed to pull it out.
While still pretty commercial, I opted for versions with some bite, hence the larger-than-life sound.
Besides, I wanted to end the year with a bang, and that’s exactly what this set delivers.
I also wrapped up the Holiday Edition 2013 for the circuit boys and will be delivering that one no later than Friday of next week. Gotta breathe a little between sets but I promise you this …IT’S WORTH THE WAIT! I’ve got some sweet surprises in that one that has yet to surface anywhere on the net.
I’ll be drowning in work pretty much all week but will manage to find the time to start on the Time Capsule 2013. I've pretty much already pulled everything that will be on those sets so it’s just a matter of putting it all together and of course the artwork, of which I haven’t a clue yet.
Hope everyone had their fill of Turkey yesterday and is getting their shopping on today. I’ll be back next week.
Until then …ENJOY!
