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

Rihanna | The Diva Series

It’s time for one final induction into the Diva Hall of Fame and Party Favorz is more than pleased to finally honor the one and only Rihanna.
Having moved from Barbados to the United States at the age of 16, RiRi began recording demos until her introduction to Jay-z, then head of Def Jam Recordings who ultimately signed her.
The first single Pon de Replay taken from her debut album was a top ten hit followed by her second album with the #1 hit SOS. When her third album Good Girl Gone Bad came out all bets were off. Def Jam put a hefty amount of support and promotion behind that album including a dance remix album accompanied by its initial release. Umbrella was a certified smash, which solidified RiRi’s stature as an international superstar. She can thank Mary J. Blige for passing on that song when it was first offered to her. That track was followed up by other hit singles Take A Bow, Disturbia and, Don’t Stop the Music, which sampled Michael Jackson’s Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’, and further solidified her popularity.
I don’t see any point in re-hashing her relationship with Chris Brown as she’s a grown woman and can make her own decisions (even if a good majority of folks disagree). You can hit the gossip sites for that crap. Equally, not much point in listing all of her accomplishments and hit singles. While not completely comprehensive, this set is damn near close. For cohesive reasons, a few songs were left off though Tony Moran and Chris Cox's popular mixes would likely resurface on a future RiRi set.
While this may be RiRi’s first induction, it certainly won’t be her last. It’s likely time for her to release a greatest hits comp with a couple of new singles by the end of the year and then follow that up with a massive world tour, but who am I to say? Whatever she does, it will no doubt be a massive success. At this point, I would like to welcome Rihanna into the Diva Hall of Fame, where she is amongst good friends and serious heavyweights.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Britney Spears 2013 | The Diva Series

IT’S BRITNEY BITCH! The former Musketeer who burst onto the scene donning a pedophile’s wet dream schoolgirl outfit and now a mother of two is on top of the world these days.  No doubt it has been on a roller coaster ride for Britney Spears ever since her meltdown three albums ago. These days, the diva is focused and has become a tour de force in the music industry.
With a new album on the way (produced by her S&S partner Will.I.Am) and a long-running stint in Las Vegas to follow, her star has never shown so bright.
This is the second induction into the Diva Hall of Fame for Miss B. and is well deserved. Britney has put out a massive catalog of hits that have kept us nodding our heads and shaking our asses for well over a decade now. Love her or hate her, there is no denying her worldwide success.
Originally when I first sat down to go over my Britney catalog of dance music, I was pretty certain I would take it into the EDM direction her music has evolved over the past several years. Once I got started, it was clear I had other thoughts about what would work. Ultimately, the final product is a circuit lover's dream. For the most part, the electrosugarpop tracks are ensconced by big tribal bangers that support the whole set like a tight belt holding up a pair of baggy jeans.
Party Favorz welcomes Britney Spears back into the Diva Hall of Fame and looks forward to her future endeavors as she has set herself up to have the long-running career that Madonna and Kylie Minogue have maintained now for decades. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome …Britney!

Christina Aguilera | The Diva Series

To kick things off, the one and only Christina Aguilera is being re-inducted to the Diva Hall of Fame and by all accounts, she fits the true definition of a DIVA. The attitude, the voice, and the looks were all on full display during her three-year run as a coach on The Voice. You can credit that stent on the show for putting her back into the spotlight.
Since the release of Bionic and its subsequent pan by critics (whether justified or not … I think not) and a star turn in the mega-flop Burlesque (alongside three-time Diva Hall of Fame inductee Cher), her star power started to rapidly fade. Coupling that with some seriously added poundage, led folks to believe she just wasn't all that into it anymore, or worse, experiencing serious depression.
Her follow-up album Lotus didn't fare much better and despite a loyal following, people began to scratch their heads and wonder what the hell was going on. Fortunately, high-profile collaborations with Maroon 5 and Pitbull have kept her on the charts not to mention a return to The Voice this fall should maintain that momentum.
Far be it for me to make any suggestions about her music career but I’m gonna anyway.  If she wants to be relevant, she will have to adapt to the current scene on the radio. I’d suggest working with William Orbit, Benny Benassi, or Calvin Harris (actually all of them) on her next project. She can still be Christina but these producers know their shit and could easily shape a new sound and image for Miss X. Take it for what it’s worth, but putting out another dated formulaic album will be the final nail in her coffin.
WOW! I didn’t mean for this induction to come off so harsh we absolutely adore Xtina. So that being said, Party Favorz honors the woman, the voice, the TRUE DIVA, and all that she has contributed to our lives. Without further ado, please welcome Xtina a.k.a. Christina Aguilera! XOXOXO

Peter Rauhofer Dance Music Tribute Volume 2

The indelible footprint of Peter Rauhofer in the dance music landscape is not something easily overlooked. His rise to prominence began with Club 69, a project that made waves in the 90s and solidified his status as a groundbreaking producer. Songs like Suzanne Palmer's "Muscles" were iconic Club 69 offerings that took the dance music world by storm. They created a unique sound that merged with Rauhofer's vision, making it a hypnotic, club-thumping experience.
But Club 69 was just the launching pad for Peter. He took a decisive step to embark on a solo career, a decision that would lead him to work with the crème de la crème of the music industry. Among the first to get the Rauhofer treatment was Goldfrapp's "Ooh La La." His remix breathed a new life into the track, enhancing its electro-pop core with rhythmic subtleties and sonic textures that made you want to move.
When Cher released "Believe," it was a pivotal moment in dance-pop history. The Club 69 remix transformed it into a transcendent dance-floor anthem. His masterful layering of beats and loops amped up the original, giving it an invincible energy that still resonates in clubs today.
But Peter's versatility didn't end there; he showcased his range with the soulful "Looking For Love" by Karen Ramirez. This remix was a departure from his usual high-energy adaptations but proved that he was not confined to one style. It was a beautifully nuanced version that blended Ramirez's emotive vocals with a danceable beat.
Let's not forget the time Club 69 revamped Kevin Aviance's "Din Da Da." This remix exemplified his knack for taking songs and turning them into epic dance anthems, compelling everyone to groove. The same can be said about his treatment of "Some Lovin'" by Murk vs. Kristine W, where he infused an infectious rhythm that gripped you right from the first beat.
Peter also had the privilege of collaborating with some industry legends. His work with The Pet Shop Boys in "Break 4 Love" stands as a testament to his capability to align his style with that of other musical giants. This collaboration, aptly named Peter Rauhofer + The Pet Shop Boys = The Collaboration, was an electrifying venture that struck a chord with fans of both artists.
One of the crowning jewels of his career was becoming one of Madonna's go-to remixers. Their synergy was electric, and his remixes often became as legendary as the original songs. He knew precisely how to amplify the Queen of Pop's vocals, adding layers of sound that made each track a monumental event.
Peter Rauhofer left an indelible mark on the dance music culture. His catalog is a who's who of dance divas and pop music royalty, solidifying his status as an ultimate dance music icon. Peter may no longer be with us, but his legacy will continue to reverberate on dance floors around the globe.

Peter Rauhofer Dance Music Tribute Volume 1

In the wake of Peter Rauhofer's untimely departure, what better way to immortalize his indelible imprint on the dance music world than to celebrate his remarkable contributions? You might wonder, "Why include him in The Diva Series?" Make no mistake, Peter was a diva in his own right—highly talented, fiercely independent, and unafraid to stir the pot. From his well-documented disagreement with Offer Nissim (Peter was spot-on) to his estrangement with the White Party organizers (a misstep, perhaps), Rauhofer never shied away from standing his ground.
Let's set aside judgments for a moment. After all, any individual who ascends to the pinnacle of their career is bound to have critics. As the saying goes, "Talk to the hand, 'cause the head ain't listening."
When it comes to the incredible range of artists Peter Rauhofer has either produced or remixed, the roster is nothing short of staggering. We're talking about the crème de la crème of divas who have dominated gay dance floors globally—Madonna, Whitney Houston, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Cher, Donna Summer, Loleatta Holloway, Suzanne Palmer, Annie Lennox and the list goes on. His collaborations read like an all-star lineup, making him an undisputed legend in the realm of dance music.
Peter Rauhofer wasn't just a remixer or producer; he was a visionary whose impact will be felt and studied for decades to come. In his own words, encapsulated in song number 10 of this tribute set, "This is the REAL THING, BITCH!" Instead of wallowing in sorrow, Party Favorz proudly honors Peter Rauhofer's illustrious legacy by honoring him in this first of a two-volume series.
To Peter, wherever you are, your creative genius remains alive in every beat and rhythm you've left us. You've had an unforgettable journey, and your legacy continues to resonate. Rest in peace, dear friend.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Lady Gaga | The Diva Series

I thought it would be apropos to bookend Katy Perry with Lady Gaga, since they both crashed onto the scene at relatively the same time. Like Katy, I had mixed feelings about Lady G. I didn’t quite get the hysteria over her. Yes, I liked Just Dance and Poker Face but just wasn’t overwhelmed by her. It wasn’t until Love Game and Paparazzi came out that I began to have a better appreciation of her skills, not just as a writer or singer but as a performer. By the time Bad Romance dropped, all bets were off and I was solidly in her corner.
No doubt, the comparisons between Lady Gaga and Madonna were inevitable (if not overblown) and started a ridiculous flame war between both camps and their followers. While working on the various Diva Series the past several weeks, something became apparent to me. THEY ALL BORROW FROM THE PAST!
Just look at all the pictures and photo spreads from Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Katy Perry, and on down the line. Madonna was the obvious person to imitate because they likely grew up with her. But even Madge has borrowed significantly from the past to create her persona and if you ask me THEY ALL SHOULD BE BOWING DOWN AT THE ALTER OF GRACE JONES who’s in your face sexual androgyny was raising eyebrows and ire well before some of these latter-day divas were even born.
That being said, the notion that Born This Way is a direct rip-off of Express Yourself should be put to rest. If it was, Madonna would have every reason to sue for copyright infringement but at the end of the day, it’s nothing more than fantastical bullshit conjured up by some blogger who wanted to start a flame war between the two groups of fans. THEY SOUND NOTHING ALIKE!
If I had any criticism at all of Lady Gaga. it would be that she has a responsibility as a hugely admired public figure with a very devoted and loyal following to tamper any death threats or otherwise directed towards others who seek to criticize her. With fame comes responsibility and while I applaud her for using that fame as a positive force in others' lives, she should equally use it to help tamper down and squelch any comments from her “little monsters” that could lead to consequential actions.
At the end of the day, Lady Gaga is the shit and I can’t wait to see how she evolves as an artist in the future. I have no doubt she will continue to be a force and standard-bearer in her own right over the coming years. It is with great pleasure that Party Favorz inducts Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta a.k.a. Lady Gaga into the Diva Hall of Fame.

Katy Perry [2013] | The Diva Series

Largely dismissed as a one-off with her minor hit “Ur So Gay” which raised the ire of the LGBT community, Katy Perry came back swinging hard with “I Kissed a Girl” a song that struck a nerve with right-wing social conservatives and blew up massively at radio and in the clubs. There’s nothing like pissing off large swaths of the public that brings the kind of attention most new artists can only dream of.
There was something about Katy Perry who had previously been writing songs for other pop artists that just sparkles.  Her debut album set off other top ten hits like “Hot n Cold” and “Waking Up in Vegas,” setting the stage for what was to come.
By the time her follow-up album “Teenage Dream” came out, Katy Perry was already a household name which only became further ingrained into the public conscience with no less the five #1 hits beating out Michael Jackson’s previously held record.  At this point, it was clear that Katy Perry was a global star.
With a great sense of humor and the ability to make fun of herself all the while writing catchy pop songs that struck at the core of her teenage fans, Katy Perry has become an epic player in the industry. As one of the new crop of radio darlings, it’s only fitting that she be inducted into the Party Favorz Diva Hall of Fame. We welcome our newest diva and look forward to more fun and frills from her soon enough. Welcome aboard, your star has landed!

Pink | The Diva Series

Pink is no stranger to the Diva Hall of Fame since she’s already been inducted once before. I was never all that happy with the original set and since her greatest hits and recent album dropped, I decided it was time to go back and honor her with a set more fitting of her status.
Pink is like a tootsie pop; hard on the outside and soft on the inside. Quite possibly the most talented singer and performer on the radio, she’s managed to navigate the ups and downs of stardom and steer the tough chick image she often portrays into a worldwide success. In 2009, she ranked #27 in highest-grossing tours beating out Beyonce that same year.
Aside from an amazing voice and writing catchy pop songs, there is no doubt her success comes from hard work and determination. She epitomizes style, grace, and inspiration. For this and everything she is, it is my greatest pleasure to honor Pink once again by inducting her into the Diva Hall of Fame.

Jewel | The Diva Series

Over the course of the next week, Party Favorz is gonna be all about the D I V A! I got several brand new sets and inductees into the Diva Hall of Fame and thought I’d kick it off with the fabulous Jewel.
Consider her the reluctant diva.
Bursting onto the pop music scene in the late 90s, Jewel quickly became a staple at radio with #1 hits like Who Will Save Your Soul, You Were Meant for Me and Foolish Games.
Typically, you wouldn't think she fits the definition of a diva but she does meet a few of the criteria. She’s attractive, she can really sing and …well that’s about it. She’s so sweet that this cover is about as diva-esque that I could find.
Nevertheless, we gays love Jewel and her willingness to have her folk-pop tunes turned into massive floor fillers.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00PrIBcsSLg
With a recent greatest hit package and tour she just put out a remix album with brand-spanking-new mixes of Standing Still and Foolish Games along with a new song Two Hearts.
I couldn't think of a better way to honor the woman we have endeared to our hearts than to welcome her into the fold. Congratulations to Jewel — you've been inducted into the Diva Hall of Fame. Your disciples thank you for this gift.

EDM Sessions April 2013 | ☻ ☮ ♠ ♛ ✪

I thought I’d sneak a surprise this Sunday and drop the next EDM set way before scheduled. I started working on it after work yesterday and got up early this morning and finished. This thing has been road-tested already so I thought, “why not post it?”
No doubt this thing is a monster which contains a good balance of commercial and big room bangers.  There is so much goodness baked into this set, you’ll likely be hearing many of these songs all summer long.
As all the PF heads know, June is a big month around here.  Dedicated to Pride, you can expect at least a set every week. I’ve got some ideas for this year in an attempt to keep things fresh but it’s gonna take a while to pull it all together. So, I don’t want to make any promises between now and the end of May. That’s not to say I won’t be posting but I’m not committing to anything specific. You’ll know when it drops so make sure you’re signed up for updates cause you never know what may happen in the next few weeks.  I’ve been known to pull things out of my ass at the last moment ☺
Until the next time …ENJOY!

Spring Edition 2013

It’s that time of year again when outdoor temperatures become more moderate and we begin to shed unnecessary layers of clothing that were used to shield us from the harsh elements of a cold winter. It’s a time when mother nature blankets the earth with her afterbirth in the form of a neon green powder, which wreaks havoc on our respiratory system. Yes, folks, it’s time for the Spring Edition.
With all the belly-aching I had over trying to pull this set together, it appears it was much ado about nothing. Once I sat down and focused, it was clear my problem was “too many” songs and trying to make everything work. So I went back, pulled out a few and then everything seemingly fell into its rightful place.
This is one solid set that rocks it from start to finish. No need to go on and on about the songs contained herein because I am promising a surefire-pleasing trip down circuit land.
I’m already putting together the next EDM set, which will likely be followed by another funky house and they may just take some time off to start on what will be a HUGE Gay Pride series schedule for the month of June. Be sure to pay close attention because we’re just getting warmed up!
Until the next time …ENJOY!

Back Spin Volume 1 | Electro House Classics Megamix

After sorting through all the recent promos and moving them to their respective folder based on genre (most to the recycle bin) I have to say I was unimpressed.  So much so, there was no way I was going to eek out a decent Spring Edition so quick. So I decided to do something I never do; that is, go back and listen to some old sets for inspiration.
From 2007 – 2009 I created a series called Deep Edition, which later evolved into System Edition. These sets were compiled of songs that I really liked but at the time didn’t quite fit into what I was doing. So, I’d throw them all together and create these eclectic mixes of house, progressive, tech, deep house, trance, you name it. To say the least, they were interesting if not downright strange in some cases.
I focused on six sets of the System Edition from 2009 and start listening to them over several days and was blown away by many of the songs. Sadly, I did not keep the tracklist for each set so I had to Google lyrics to determine the original artist and title. Once found, I’d search my library to pull them out. There were well over a hundred songs on these sets, so this was tedious and time-consuming but ultimately well worth the effort.
I pulled about 25 of the songs I wanted to use and then cut it down to nineteen based on what worked.  A couple of the songs were actually big hits while the rest were relegated to the underground scene, which makes this all the more interesting. I like this set so much, Back Spin could end up being the basis for a new series that focuses on past EDM hits and misses.
Please take this for a spin and let me know what you think. I’ll go back sometime this weekend and re-listen to the songs I’ve already set aside for the Spring Edition plus some other new stuff that recently shuffled in. Hopefully, this little side step will give me a new perspective on a new circuit set so I can get that out to you soon.
Until then, ENJOY!
