Top 2000s Dance Music Classics: Volume 2 [2003 — 2004]

Get ready to immerse yourself in the golden era of dance music with Party Favorz's Volume 2 of the 'Top 2000s Dance Music Classics'. A rich compilation of some of the biggest dance hits from 2003 to 2004, this offering is a must for any dance music enthusiast, featuring unedited epic tracks allowing you to relive the era of massive remixes.
One standout DJ/producer from this era encapsulated in this Top 2000s Dance Music Classics collection is Dave Audé, a preferred choice for remix production. With an abundance of rock remixes from artists like Jacques Lu Cont, Thin White Duke, Les Rythmes Digitales (a.k.a. Stuart Price), Jason Nevins, and Lindbergh Palace, this set offers a diverse mix of genre hits.
Interestingly, all these remix artists have worked with Madonna at some point, with Stuart Price being instrumental in producing "Confessions On a Dance Floor" and leading her "Confessions Tour".
This Top 2000s Dance Music Classics volume also showcases other noteworthy DJ/producers like Gabriel & Dresden and Junkie XL, recognized for their progressive remixes that harmoniously blend Trance music with rock-dance. The period also saw the rise of Electro House, with Benny Benassi's remix of Goldfrapp's "Strict Machine" and his debut single "Satisfaction" pioneering the genre into mainstream popularity.
While Electro House was gaining prominence during this period, Party Favorz hasn't overlooked the underground hits from genres like Trance, Progressive House, and House music. However, most of the mainstream hits are reserved for our 'Top Dance Songs of the Year' series.
We are geared up to release Volume 3 of the Top 2000s Dance Music Classics mid-week, followed by a final volume next weekend. Expect some Disco House and Peak Hour tunes to keep the party vibe alive. So, don't wait! Dive into the memorable sounds of 2003-2004 with Party Favorz's 'Top 2000s Dance Music Classics' Volume 2!
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Top 2000s Dance Music Classics: Volume 1 [2003 — 2004]

Are you ready to go back in time to the early 2000s when DJs ruled the dance scene? Party Favorz is back with the long-awaited continuation of our Top 2000s Dance Music Classics series, featuring some of the biggest hits from 2003 to 2004.
Get ready to relive the golden era of dance music, with tracks like David Morales feat. Lea-Lorién's "How Would U Feel," The Roc Project feat.

This period was a time of transition, with progressive and electro house emerging as popular genres while DJs like Thunderpuss, Victor Calderone, and Hex Hector became household names. While some of the top songs of the time had a darker sound, this series focuses on the alternative versions of the dance hits and an emerging sound that would inspire a whole new group of superstar DJs in the near future.
This series runs adjacent to Party Favorz's Top Dance Songs of the Year from 2000 - 2009 companion series, showcasing the diversity of dance music that was not always present in what promo services were promoting to DJs.
With gems both big and small, the Top 2000s Dance Music Classics series is a must-listen for anyone who wants to take a trip down the not-so-distant past. So, let's go back to the early 2000s and relive the sounds that got us to where we are today. Until the next time...ENJOY!

Donna Summer the Queen of Disco — The Casablanca Years Revisited

Donna Summer, the queen of Disco, a name synonymous with the divas of the music industry, has rightfully earned her place in the prestigious Diva Hall of Fame. Alongside icons like Diana Ross, Cher, and Madonna, Donna Summer's legacy as the Queen of Disco is undisputed.
With the recent release of the Neil Bogart biopic "Spinning Gold," which chronicles the illustrious career of this visionary pop music hitmaker, who also happened to be the head of one of the most successful music labels capitalizing on the Disco trend of the 1970s, and the upcoming HBO documentary titled "Love To Love You," which features never-before-seen photographs and video footage shot by Miss Summer herself and has extensive involvement from her daughter Brooklyn Sudano, Party Favorz, felt it was finally time to pay tribute to the most important part of Donna Summer's career and her timeless songs that earned her the title "Queen of Disco."
Previous tribute sets to Donna Summer by Party Favorz featured the original versions of her songs. However, due to the nature of the way songs were created in the past, with live orchestras and bands, the tempos were not always conducive to modern DJ mixing. This was evident in her retrospective album "On The Radio" released in 1980, where the label released a mixed version of the songs in an edited format, using synthesized effects in between songs to create the illusion of a mix. Party Favorz, took on the challenge of editing the original versions into a continuous mix that utilized more of the lengthy originals, staying true to the original sound of Donna Summer's music, and the result was fantastic.
This revisited series of Donna Summer's music also delves into her often-overlooked repertoire from the 1980s, a mixed bag of hits and misses. However, when Donna Summer nailed it, she did so with great fanfare, and Party Favorz wanted to showcase these gems, allowing listeners to experience more of her songs as they were originally released for the dance floor. With some dramatic tempo changes in the songs, Party Favorz got creative in finalizing the track order to ensure a seamless listening experience for Donna Summer's devoted fans, who are sure to be pleased with the final product.
Donna Summer's career had a resurgence in the late 1990s, resulting in an entirely new era for her music. While Party Favorz has previously released what was thought to be the ultimate collection of this period, the continuous release of new modern-day remixes of her biggest hits has prompted a second volume, set to drop later this year, to capture this ongoing evolution of Donna Summer's music.
It's worth mentioning that Party Favorz relied heavily on Digital Visions edits for this set, as DJ Freddy, the mastermind behind Digital Visions, was instrumental in the creation of the Ultimate Trash Disco series and has contributed many never-before-released edits for Donna Summer's music in this release. DJ Freddy is currently battling cancer and, as healthcare costs in the United States can be exorbitant, Party Favorz encourages fans to contribute to his GoFundMe page to help offset the costs of his treatment and show support for this esteemed DJ and music enthusiast.
Donna Summer's indelible mark on the music industry as the Queen of Disco is undeniable, and this tribute to her iconic music is a testament to her enduring legacy. Her songs continue to captivate audiences around the world, and her influence on the music landscape will never fade.

The Biggest Circuit Anthems of Spring

Party Favorz is excited to announce the release of the 2023 Spring Edition, featuring the hottest gay circuit anthems of the season.
This set includes two tribute songs to Irene Cara: "What A Feeling" by Mor Avrahami and Ran Ziv featuring Ilor Bar, and "Fame" by Black Flamingo and Mar Shine featuring Choir+. The updated versions of these classics with new vocals are outstanding and pay homage to the originals.
Many of you may remember the excellent rework of "Fame" by DJ Bill Bennett and Suzanne Palmer back in the day and recently featured on The Ultimate Gay Anthems & Pride Classics volume 4. These updated versions with new vocals are stellar and do the original justice. Miss Cara would be honored.
The legendary Suzanne Palmer has also featured in the Tony Moran and Guy Scheiman collaboration of "Praise Up" with various remixes to suit all tastes making it the ultimate circuit anthem.
Debby Holiday, another favorite of Party Favorz, has a new remix by Dirty Disco and Matt Consola of her remake of the Soul and Disco classic "I Can't Stand the Rain" and a blazing remix of "Love & Peace." Party Favorz believes that Miss Holiday and Miss Palmer deserve an induction into the Diva Hall of Fame due to their contributions to the gay community, which can't be overstated. Still, these are big circuit anthems from a diva with a huge voice that shouldn't go unnoticed.
Additionally, Disco Queen Carol Jiani returns with Sammy X on the super gay "I'm A Diva Baby," and Miley Cyrus, Sam Smith, and P!nk's latest hits are included with Dirty Disco and Zambianco doing remix honors.
While Party Favorz maintains a big tribal house sound throughout the set, plenty of progressive sounds and mainstream songs are Tea Dance tracks included to mix things up making for the ultimate circuit anthems of spring.

The 2023 Ultimate Spring Break Party Mix!

Spring Break 2023 — your ultimate spring break party mix represents just over two months of releases. Considering that nothing was dropped from this set, releases haven't been all that stealthy — a pattern I discussed in Top Dance Songs of the Year 2022 Volume 2. That doesn't mean there aren't stellar releases because there are but the trend appears to be major recording artists allowing DJs to remix their releases without having to commission them. The elephant in the room is the massive "Flowers" by Miley Cyrus and even P!nk's latest "Trustfall".  Neither of these releases was accompanied by official remixes but there is a boatload of bootlegs. Frankly, that saves the labels on marketing costs while extending these fabulous ladies' brands. The same appears to be happening with Sam Smith's latest "I'm Not Here To Make Friends". No worries though, because Party Favorz has these artists covered.
There are some big releases included in this set but a couple of standouts a worth mentioning. Sofi Tukker along with veteran DJs Kx5  (Kaskade and Deadmau5) have dropped the peak hour bomb "Sacrifice" that's rightfully blowing up everywhere. The other track blowing up right now is "Work With My Love" by Alok & James Arthur. The familiar sample the song uses is from "Lola's Theme" by The Shapeshifters. For this set, we went with the equally stellar club version of the song, which adds even more muscle to the original.
Honorable mention goes to one of last year's Top Dance Songs "Turn On the Lights (Again)" by Fred Again.. & Swedish House Mafia and featuring Future. The Anyma version pumps up the original breakbeat version, which is perfect for clubs and festivals alike.
I would like to discuss possibly putting a moratorium on sampling and remakes of certain classics. I've often discussed that "Love Sensation" by Loleatta Holloway is the most sampled song in music history. Granted, I don't have any statistics to back that up rather enough real-world experience to have come across it more times than I care to. Still, it samples one of our favorite divas and so, she gets a pass. Besides, the song is chock-full of sample-worthy bits that the temptation to flip it is too much.
Instead, I'm talking about these oft-recycled songs: 1) "Sweet Dreams" by Eurythmics — please, just stop with the remakes and the mashups. It was once fun but now, you've ruined a classic song from the 80s.
2) "Crazy In Love" by Beyonce - I have better bootlegs of this song than the plethora of recent remixes (and there's a lot). Just stop. You're embarrassing yourself.
3) "Children" by Robert Miles — What was once a classic Trance song has now been stripped of its original eloquence. Even the version back in the day with Hilary Clinton reading from her book "It Takes a Village" was abysmal. We get it, you love this song but it doesn't belong in yours. Please, just let this man rest in peace without destroying his legacy for a club hit.
4) "Low" by Flo Rida — I get it, this frat boy song is fun at just about any event and mixes well in a big room environment but we're sitting on about 10 versions that all sound virtually the same. Yes, I included the latest remix in this set because it's too fly for this white guy but seriously, give it a rest already. There's gotta be another song that will fill this slot before we get tired of it.
Finally, 5) "Better Off Alone" by Alice Deejay — this was my jam back in 1999 but mainly because Pete and I broke it off. It's one of those crying on-the-dancefloor songs that are built around the bubbly Ibiza sound which was all the rage at the time but at this point, it's getting tired and you're destroying the fondest (or saddest) memories I have from that year.
I realize some of y'all are still recovering from massive amounts of snow while we luckier folks in Georgia are enjoying nice spring weather. I hope it all melts away soon and fills up your water reservoirs.

KD Lang | The Diva Series | Updated

KD Lang is Canadian pop and country singer known for hits such as "Constant Craving" and "Miss Chatelaine" from her Grammy award-winning and multi-platinum album "Ingénue ."  She came on my radar in 1989 riding high on the "cowpunk" trend of the late 80s that included BoDeans and Lone Justice.  For me, that label wasn't fitting for her style as she was a classic country crooner. But, like Maria McKee of Lone Star fame — there was something unique about her and lordy that voice.
While already receiving praise for her first two albums "Shadowland" and "A Truly Western Experience," and "Angel with a Lariat" (the latter two with the Reclines), it was her album (also with the Reclines) "Absolute Torch and Twang," that blew me away. The comparisons between KD Lang and Patsy Cline were well deserved and "Pullin' Back the Reins" remains one of my all-time favorites.
By 1992, she moved in a more pop-centric direction that still retained elements of her folk roots and released "Ingénue." This album and the lead single "Constant Craving" brought her not only acclaim but the worldwide recognition she rightfully deserved.
Her performance of the Leonard Cohen classic "Hallelujah" at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Colombia is only bested by Whitney Houston's "Star Spangled Banner" in live event vocal performances. Her rendition was not only stirring but heartfelt, which mesmerized me at the same time. If there ever was any doubt about this woman's talent — this performance was proof of the contrary.
It wasn't until a year later that Abigail covered "Constant Craving" and made the song an underground Eurodance hit. Her label subsequently commissioned remixes for several of her new releases going forward. You know how us gay folk operate. If we latch onto someone — we're gonna remix it and put it on the dancefloor.
K.D. Lang's induction into the Diva Hall of Fame represents all the singles that were remixed by her label in various iterations (save "Constant Craving," which is an edit of the original).  It is with great pleasure to include one of our own in the Diva Hall of Fame as Miss KD Lang takes her rightful place among the many talented women that have filled up this ever-expanding series. I don't know how KD feels about her music being remixed but we adore this woman and it's our way of showing our gratitude for sharing her talent with the rest of the world. I cannot think of a better person to represent the LGBTQ+ community. We love you.
The original release of Ms. Lang's induction contained an edit of "Constant Craving". Party Favorz expressed our disappointment that there were no viable remixes of this great song at that time. Shortly afterward, the fabulous Tracy Young was commissioned to create an official remix for her biggest hit. This episode has been updated from the original with Tracy's excellent remix.

The Ultimate New Year Dance Party Mix for 2023!

Party Favorz is capping off 2022 with our annual Blow Your Own Horn series making it the ultimate New Year Dance Party Mix to carry you into the next.
Well, folks, after climbing out of the pandemic only to be hit by high inflation with rising costs in gas, food, and housing, you name it — I'd say 2022 has been an uneven year at best. Our household capped the year off with flooding of our unit from the 4th floor down. It reeks to high heaven of mildew in here and the complex is moving us into a hotel later today because our home is in complete disrepair. We managed to save our furniture and my workstation but the smell is so bad it's messing with my sinuses and I need to leave before my right eye starts bulging out of the socket. I have previous experience in this area and mold and mildew are not something you want to mess around with.
While the Blow Your Own Horn series is typically meant to be created as a giant end-of-year celebration that's created in one sitting to give it a live feel — I had to piece this together over a few days just to finish it. I haven't had a chance to preview most of it yet so, fingers crossed.
I want to thank every one of you that has stuck with Party Favorz through thick and thin. The future of my baby is still up in the air and those decisions will be finalized by the spring.
Until then, I hope everyone stays safe and piss off your neighbors by turning up the ultimate New Year Dance Party mix. In short, play this mother fucker LOUD!
See you next year. ENJOY!!!

Top Dance Songs Of 2022 Volume 2

Party Favorz presents Volume 2 of the Best Dance Songs of 2022 - an honest reflection on this year's top tracks. While 2022 hasn't been a standout year for club music, there were still some incredible songs that deserve recognition. However, it's worth noting that many new releases seem to be dominated by a select group of artists, resulting in a familiar and somewhat stale style. This repetitive approach, often dark and somewhat depressing, has left the industry craving originality. Regardless, these two volume reprsent the best dance songs of the year for 2022.
Unfortunately, new releases have been scarce, and breakout hits even rarer. Typically, we witness at least three massive hits that carry over into the following year, but this time, they are noticeably absent. Even the revival of NuDisco has become tiresome, as repetitive beats with different lyrics no longer captivate audiences. Disco, once a diverse and vibrant genre, is not accurately represented in today's music landscape.
The industry lacks the juice and originality that made it so thrilling, even when sampling older songs. Will 2023 be the year that Madonna, Janet Jackson, and Rihanna, accompanied by their tours, breathe life into this stale industry? While their tours are sure to be a success, their impact on the dance floor remains uncertain. Personally, I have longed for Madonna to revisit her early sound with a modern twist, but it seems she has disregarded my advice. However, she has the potential to achieve the elusive middle-aged global #1 hit that brought Cher back to the top of the pop charts in 1998. Perhaps she will surprise us after all.
Moving on to Rihanna, her contribution to the Wakanda Forever theme song was forgettable, similar to Beyoncé's delivery for Lion King. However, with her upcoming performance at the Super Bowl Halftime Show, new music is likely on the horizon. Let's hope it doesn't resemble "Lift Me Up" from her forthcoming album.
Regarding Janet, most of the buzz revolves around her tour, though she did mention that new music is in the works. While I'd love to be pleasantly surprised, I remain doubtful.
In 2023, Latino music has had a significant impact, transcending barriers and achieving tremendous crossover success across the Americas. This wave is even more substantial than the explosion of Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, and Shakira from 1999 to 2001. The remarkable aspect is that most of these artists are accomplishing this while singing in their native language, marking a major milestone. Remixes ranging from Big Room to House Music perfectly complement their songs. Party Favorz eagerly anticipates more from these artists, hoping they can keep up with major label demands and maintain their freshness.
I apologize if my perspective seems cynical as we approach the end of 2022, but recent months have been quite challenging for me. It's possible that these circumstances have influenced my outlook, but considering my skittishness throughout the year, I believe otherwise. Even the year had a slow start, with our first releases not appearing until February due to a shortage of quality dance music. Fortunately, we have the next round of Millennial Dance Classics to fill the inevitable gap as we await new releases.
It's essential to acknowledge how the pandemic has severely impacted the dance music industry. Perhaps this adversity will pave the way for emerging DJs and artists to find their unique voice and style, offering something fresh that doesn't rely on tired trends or recycled hits. Only time will reveal what lies ahead. However, it's crucial for both major and independent labels to stop pushing regurgitated content, as the audience is more discerning than they realize. If you're among the fortunate few DJs or producers who have found success in recent years, it's time to reinvent your game, as your position can easily be replaced. Just ask Calvin.

Top Dance Songs Of 2022 Volume 1

Party Favorz presents the top dance songs of 2022 (or at least half of them). Rest assured, this compilation includes an array of songs from various sub-genres of dance music - House Music, Tech House, Future House, Progressive House, NuDisco, to name a few.
Featuring songs from top artists like Beyonce, Tiesto, Alok, Sigala, David Guetta, and more, this compilation is a testament to the resilience and vibrancy of the dance music scene in 2022. Each song in this list has left an indelible mark on the dance music scene and continues to thrill listeners on the dance floor.
Whether it's Beyonce's soulful "Break My Soul" or Tiesto's catchy "Money," each track in this compilation offers a unique vibe that adds to the diverse and dynamic nature of dance music. Other standout tracks include "Love Is Gone" by SLANDER, "I Was Made For Lovin' You" by Oliver Heldens, "About Damn Time" by Lizzo, and the list goes on. These tracks capture the energy and euphoria associated with dance music, creating an intoxicating blend of beats and rhythms that never fail to get people moving.
Despite the ongoing pandemic and the subsequent repercussions on various music industries, especially the dance music industry, Party Favorz continues to be a beacon of hope for the fans of the dance music genre. Our commitment to curate and compile the best dance songs has remained steadfast. While most charts have lost their relevance due to shifts in the music industry, we've managed to keep our finger on the pulse of the dance music scene.
Over the past 15 years, Party Favorz has offered the most comprehensive picture of the biggest dance songs of any given year, dating back to 1999. We delve into various facets of dance music, ensuring no underground hit, fan favorite, or chart-topper is left behind. Our compilation includes bootleg remixes of popular songs that were not originally meant for the dance floor but gained traction in clubs due to their popularity on radio or streaming platforms.
The dance music landscape has shifted significantly. Most record labels no longer see the need to hire professional DJs to remix their pop releases. Instead, they rely on bedroom DJs and budding producers to do the work for them. You can't put a price on that kind of publicity, and it comes at no cost to the labels. Moreover, independent releases and collaborations with professional remix outlets like Tiesto have led to the creation of many dance hits. The likes of David Guetta have remained relevant as artists continue to seek their expertise in crafting dance hits that transcend the club scene to gain popularity on radio and streaming platforms, with full backing from their labels.
Party Favorz has stayed true to its essence and has become the go-to source for the most memorable moments in dance music throughout the year. The 2022 edition of the Top Dance Songs of the Year is no exception. Our compilation is as comprehensive as it gets, filled with countless hits that dominated the dance music scene throughout the year. This collection is the culmination of hours of diligent work, where we meticulously go through all the past year's releases, match them up with views, streams, ranking, and overall popularity from various sources to create this series.
While our efforts have been consistent, we are not claiming perfection in our choices. There might be a few songs that we might have overlooked, but that does not detract from the accuracy and comprehensiveness of our compilation. Even if electronic dance music (which can be anything except dance floor ready) doesn't make it to our list unless there are accompanying remixes for the song, we strive to be as accurate as possible.
In conclusion, despite the changing landscape of dance music and the broader music industry, Party Favorz remains committed to its mission of delivering the most comprehensive and accurate reflection of the top dance songs of the year. So, put on your dancing shoes,
