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

T-Dance Edition 2010 Volume 2 | Take 1

When I started combing through the songs that would be used in this next edition, the Disco Fairy paid me a visit and hit me with her disco stick.  Shortly after, I had the overwhelming urge to get down, shake, shake, shake my booty and boogie oogie oogie.  Even though I had a strong group of tunes for this set, I was in a state of trance and found myself over at Juno combing through their NuDisco section and adding things to my cart like I had just won the lottery.  I was feverishly consumed with boogie fever.  Soon, I had a bill that had swelled to $50.  Regardless, like a first timer in a club full of hot men,  I just couldn’t put on the brakes; I literally had to have it ALL!
After downloading all of my newly purchased tracks, I went right to work on this mix.  A lot of these songs are not really suited for mixing or beat matching in the true sense of the word.  Back in the day, I taught myself to create these amazing mixes by splicing together songs at various intervals using two Nakamichi decks.  By the early 90s, I was doing it on a single minidisc player.  Relying on that same method, that’s pretty much how most of this set was put together.  While there is some beatmatching going on, most of this set was sliced and diced, giving the perception of a masterful mix.  The beats were anywhere from 112 to 128 BPM.  In order to keep a solid flow without speeding up and slowing things down, I averaged all the beats to 124 BPM which provides for a much smoother ride.
I’m not going to say this is for everyone, because it’s not.  I do believe that the true believers amongst us will eat this up; while others will be asking yourselves “where’s the beef?”  No need to worry, I’ll be starting on the companion sets later today and you can expect those to drop later this week.  In the meantime, I’m serving up a disco lovers dream fantasy come true.  If anyone has an opinion on this mix, good or bad, let me know.  I’d really like to hear what you think.  I’ll be back by the middle part of next week with the alternate takes, which will be more in the vein of what you would normally expect.  Until then, enjoy!

BPM Edition 2010 Volume 3 | Take 2

We’re down to the bottom of the barrel and I’m sending up the final chapter of Party Favorz 3.0. I have been working diligently on version 4.0 and already have a snapshot of what’s coming next that you can check out here.
As promised, I will be taking a sabbatical from the site for about 30 days. Depending on how fast I can get everything moved over, will determine when I make it back. On one hand, I definitely need the break for my own personal selfish reasons and on the other, not having to think about mixes and cover art for awhile will allow me to finish up the new site quicker. Frankly, I think you guys have more than enough to hold you over until I come back. If for any reason you start to go into convulsions, scroll down to “Delicate Discrimination” on the right-hand side and check out some of the fabulous mixes from some of the Party Favorz’ circle of friends.
As for canceling your premium account, that’s entirely up to you. I will be gone no longer than 30 days, probably less since I too will go into convulsions if I don’t mix something LOL. However, I will state without equivocation, that the premium service will continue. I don’t think it’s really reasonable for some to have to pay for everyone else, even though I will continue to put out sets OTH. However, after tallying up my receipts since February, I determined that I had already spent well over $500 on music, artwork and hosting making the need to continue the service imperative. Rest assured, you won’t be seeing any freebies during Pride month and possibly July when the Beach House Edition comes out; I’m just sayin’.
Without further ado, I bring you BPM 2010 v3, take 2. Much in the mainstream category of its predecessor, this is a combination of electro-pop, progressive and funky house music. I’m totally all about Chicane’s latest “Come Back,” which took me awhile to figure out where they lifted the chorus from. In case you’re wondering, it’s from Paul Young’s 1983 hit by the same name. This is one of those situations where I can’t eat, sleep or drink until I figure it out. This was a tough one because that song only reached #22 on Billboards charts that year. Nevertheless, I am (or was) a chart whore for much of my life, so it was not only imperative, but my sworn duty to figure it out LOL.
That’s all I got for today. I hope everyone has a fabulous week ahead of them and I promise to be back in business soon enough. I will be posting some updates from the aforementioned “circle of friends” in the next few days, so as to provide assurance I haven’t driven off a cliff.
Until then, enjoy!
P.S. Once again, this one’s OTH. However, I wouldn’t get too used to it.

BPM Edition 2010 Volume 3 | Take 1

I’m serving up the next installment of the BPM Edition and boy oh boy is it a monster! Not wanting to leave too much on the floor after I failed to put together the T-Dance Edition, I took some of the more commercial elements and mixed them in. Frankly, I think it worked quite well. Things start pretty smoothly, but about 1/3 of the way through, this set transitions into full-blown, head-banging party fun! Things will start sliding into more happy house as you get to the end.
Speaking of commercial, this set and the accompanying part two slated for tomorrow are quite possibly the most mainstream mixes I’ve done in a while. I thought the solid mix of producers kept it from getting stale and/or redundant so I was able to keep my happy ass away from Beatport, where I usually dig around for some underground house to shake things up. Needless to say, I am quite pleased with this mix as I am certain, so you will as well.
Looks like Saturday is shaping up to be a very nice day, so I don’t want to spend too much time blah, blah, blah [grin]. I’ll be back tomorrow with part two and I’ll discuss my upcoming sabbatical.
Until then, enjoy!

Spring Edition 2010 Volume 2

WARNING! This post may not be suitable for anyone under 18 years of age. However, if mom and dad aren’t around, have at it.
Okay folks, just now getting around to posting the second set. It’s been a long ass day with more shit thrown at me than I care to think about. In a recent Facebook post, one of you guys stated there was a medical bill sitting on your desk and you were trying to wish it away. Well, I’m trying to wish this day and all the people involved in it away (except Rick of course). Sadly, they just won’t fucking disappear. No blinking of my eyes or wiggling of my nose is going to make it happen. So, I’ll just have to tolerate their bullshit unless I’m forced to use the nuclear option. Most people that know me, know that I’m a really nice guy who will bend over backward to help others. That is, until you fuck with me, in which case I can be a real nasty, vicious bitch. Right now it just feels like I’m a magnet drowning in a bowl of iron-clad cornflakes; as soon as I pull one off, another gets stuck to me.
[This is the part where I rip a nasty, tired old queen apart. However, being the consummate professional that I am, I have decided to bite my tongue and withhold my remarks.]
If I sound fucking pissed, it’s because I am. Truth is, it’s my own fucking fault. I know all too well what to expect when I’m dealing with DIVAS, QUEENS, and FAKE TIARAS and should always demand payment upfront. Nevertheless, I know this isn’t anyone’s problem and something I’ll just have to deal with privately. Oops, I guess it’s too late for that, my bad. At this point, I will politely digress and move on to other news.
The T-Dance Edition I promised has been scrapped. Sorry, but it wasn’t coming together the way I’d hoped. Unlike other big name DJs who throw anything together without any skill, much less thought and think their fans will lap it up regardless; I don’t put out shit and I certainly wouldn’t sell it to you for $16.99 if I thought it was shit. Hopefully, the next T-Dance will make an appearance sometime in May. The good news is, the next BPM Edition is finished and just needs to be remastered. I’ll have the first one out for everyone on Saturday.
As for Party Favorz, I’m not going anywhere, so there’s no need to freak out. I just need to take some time off and recharge my batteries. I’ll go into more detail in the final BPM post. Until then, take care, good night, have a fabulous weekend and all that funky-fierce stuff. -K
P.S. This one’s OTH…enjoy!

Spring Edition 2010 Volume 1

Over the course of the next two weeks, I will be posting the remainder of the mixes I have in store. I've whittled down the Spring Edition from three sets to two, the T-Dance Edition from two to one and haven't started on the BPM Edition just yet, but it will be no longer than two sets. I plan on having everything out by the end of next week. After that, Party Favorz will be "under construction" for quite a while, until I'm ready to return. When I do come back, it will be with a new theme and a new direction. Most likely, everything will revert back to being free again, however with considerably less output. That's not to say that this experiment hasn't worked out, because it's been decent enough. I've got about 40 people on board compared to the average of about 400+ downloads I receive for each free mix, with several being in the 500+ to a thousand range. However, there's something wrong with the way Podbean has set this up as several of the subscribers are not being renewed, even though they have not canceled the service. Frankly, I'm tired of going back and forth and trying to figure this stuff out and I'd rather just put out what I'm feeling when I'm feeling it without any timeline.
That being said, most of the remaining mixes will still be premium and for $5 you can have access to all of them. When I do come back, anything I've already completed this year will no longer be available. I will remind everyone again next week to cancel their subscriptions once the final set goes up so you don't get charged again.
In the meantime, here's the first of two podcasts for the Spring Edition. Typical circuit styled mixes, with a trance and lighter fare thrown in towards the end to loosen things up. I'll be back on Wednesday with part 2. Until then, enjoy!

BPM Edition 2010 Volume 2 | Take 3

I apologize for the delay, but I’ve been really busy working on the site and trying to get all the back-end stuff fixed after Google left me out for dry. No need to worry, this doesn’t concern most of you that have been following this site for a long while. It mainly concerns those that are just now coming on board, and by the looks of it, there are many PF newbies!
In the meantime, I’m serving up a platter of deep, dark and delicious house music with a side of hot sauce to keep it extra spicy. In fact, the majority of this set is pretty much peak hour, big room madness that explores the darker side of the progressive movement, while keeping the hooks aplenty!
The first three songs come at you like a ton of bricks. Mr. Malo’s remake of the 1988 hi-nrg classic “S-Express” and Hi-Tack’s production of the 1999 Trance classic “Out of the Blue” by System F stay true to the originals while updating the sound for today’s floors. The latter is nothing short of sweeping, majestic pleasure recalling the original with layer upon layer of thick heavy synths.
Since we’re on the remake kick I also dropped the Ultra Nate 90’s big house classic “Free.” You may remember the breezy, bouncy Bob Sinclar take on my recent T-Dance Edition; well Teo Moss and Daniel Shems take the progressive route and deliver something new and fresh. I was thinking the other day that I may very well expedite Ultra through the nomination process and honor her by inducting her into the Diva Hall of Fame. Stay tuned.
Every few years, Ish Ledesma of the late 70s group Foxy (Get Off), takes his late 80s girl group Company B and remixes one of their hits. Over the years, “Fascination” has definitely had its share, including a complete re-work by the fabulous Suzanne Palmer. However, none of them ever really stood out for me; that is until now. Veteran DJ/producer Giuseppe D. had the good sense to keep the hooks of the original while giving it that Millennium punch it desperately needed. On the opposite end, Players Please deliver an unlikely progressive rendering of Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s “The Power of Love.” Deep, very dark and definitely delicious!
Toni Braxton’s latest “Make My Heart” get’s a series of re-works courtesy of Atlanta records, her current label. None of the original three that were sent out as promos made the final cut. Instead, they went with other producers to promote this release. Shame, because I am totally in love with the Behrouz remix, which is why I kept it in the set. Regardless, their choices were still outstanding and you can expect the Alexander and Mark VDH production to be hitting up the Spring Edition.
Another BIG winner for me is “Ready For the Fight” by the always unpredictable Young Punx. While there is a big electro remix by Wes Clarke, it’s all about the Gramaphonedzie (Marko Milicevic) remix for me.
Frankly, I think this entire set is one giant masterpiece of late night mayhem and I’m certain you’ll agree. As promised, this one is OTH. I’ll be taking the rest of the week off to give myself a break and allow you folks to digest everything that has already been posted this year. I should be back the following week with the first two of a year-long project I will be starting “Chrome: Millennium Edition (the First 10 Years). It also appears that the Spring Edition will make an early appearance this year and of course I’m already lining ‘em up for the next T-Dance set, which by all accounts is shaping up to be pretty darn funky.
That’s all I got for today. It’s hump day, so time to start thinking about the weekend. After all, it’s all downhill from here! I’ll be back next week.
Until then, ENJOY!

BPM Edition 2010 Volume 2 | Take 2

Before I get into this current set, I thought I would discuss some issues about the Fan Page https://www.facebook.com/partyfavorz that have been brought to my attention. Several of you have indicated that you couldn’t access it via Facebook. The only thing I can think of is that my privacy settings were locked down. I’ve since lifted the restrictions and hopefully, that will no longer be an issue. You can always click on the “info” tab in my profile which has a link to the Fan Page, or you can access it via my site https://www.partyfavorz.net/, where I have a badge in the right-hand column. For those that haven’t signed up for the Fan Page, whatcha waitin’ for? Whenever I post to my site, it will automatically be updated on my Fan Page and Twitter + I also send out an email to ensure receipt.
I have also added several tabs on my site that I think will answer a lot of your questions. There is a “premium” tab which details how the site works, there is an “iTunes” tab with very specific instructions (including pictures) on how to download my podcasts via the service. That’s important for subscribers to the premium service. Since there are two feeds on my site; one for the “free” podcasts and the other for “premium” you will need to add both in iTunes to ensure you get everything.
I also added an FAQ section which has everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. It answers virtually all questions about my site, including downloading, subscribing, RSS updates, email updates, how premium works including passwords and problems new users may encounter getting it to work. It’s all there. For those that prefer not to read, that’s fine, I’ll be more than happy to answer your question via email. Just remember, I can’t be a slave to my computer so my response may not be as forthcoming as you might like, but I WILL get back to you. Odds are, your question has already been answered in the FAQ section, so give it a try first.
Since I’ve expended much of my capital on information about the site, I’ll just let this mix speak for itself. It’s much in the same vein of the previous set with some seriously smoking tunes all wrapped up in a neat little package that falls just under 80 minutes for the CD burners amongst you.
It’s yet another fabulous day in the ATL and I am so looking forward to getting out and enjoying it. I’ll try to make it back tomorrow for the final set (which is on the house) before taking a week off to work on some other projects, including the finalization of the Millennium series that I plan on rolling out in two weeks. I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend and as always, ENJOY!

BPM Edition 2010 Volume 2 | Take 1

As the days just keep getting better, so does the need to P-A-R-T-Y like it’s 2010! In keeping with that theme, I’m serving up volume 2 of the BPM Edition.
Kicking things off is the latest from Lifehouse. While we all know this group as the mainstay of Top 40 meat and potatoes rock, their latest effort stays true to their roots, with hooks aplenty. Jody Den Broeder takes a shot at it and delivers a surprisingly delicious dance production that even I had to take notice.
We also get Adam Lambert’s second release with the Pink-penned tune “Whataya Want From Me” with Fonzerelli doing the remix honors. This is just one of several great songs off of his amazing debut “For Your Entertainment.” What’s sad is that ATL pop radio frankly sucks donkey dongs. This is a city of over 11 million people and instead of being on the cutting edge, we have two pop stations that play virtually the exact same thing and don’t even put a song into rotation until it hits the top twenty. With no alternative and dance radio stations, this market is ripe for picking. As such, I have yet to hear Adam on the radio, but am tortured by Kris Allen’s relatively lame “Live Like You Were Dying.” Whateva!
It’s been a long while since we got anything new from the “Milkshake” girl Kellis, but her latest “Acapella” is simply amazing! Fantastic vocals and an amazing production by Dave Aude, this is a surefire crowd pleaser.
After the success of last year’s “Patron Tequila” by the Paradiso Girls comes the latest drinking song “Sex on the Beach” by Spanker. In fact, I think we may be seeing a trend here that will get old pretty quick. What’s next, a song about Corona? Oh wait, that’s already been done. How about Budweiser instead? Regardless, this is a fun song as is “Something Like a Party” by newcomers School Gyrls. Think Britney times 3 still pulling off the little parochial school girl look ten years later. Clearly aimed at the Ke$sha market, this too will get old.
Finally, I want to give a shout out to the UK’s Rachel Ellektra. I’m really digging a lot of her work lately and “Playing with Knives” featuring the vocals of the amazing Angie Brown is pure hard hitting house bliss! Keep an eye out for her, because you will definitely be hearing more of her work in any given club in the very near future.
That’s ‘bout all I got for today. I’ll be back tomorrow with part 2 and hopefully Sunday with the “on the house” special, part 3. Until then, enjoy!

Kim English 2010 Volume 2 | The Diva Series

Navigating the intricate landscape of spirituality, house music, and the circuit scene is no small feat, but artists like Kim English have seamlessly crossed these boundaries. With remixes by industry giants like Hex Hector, Thunderpuss, Tony Moran, Junior Vasquez, Mark Picchiotti, and Razor 'n' Guido, Kim's music has transformed into iconic club anthems.
It's a paradox that her spiritual anthems resonate in gay clubs, given her religious upbringing, which adheres to strict biblical tenets. This duality echoes the experience of Donna Summer in the early '90s. Kim herself admitted, "I feel more free [to be myself] among a gay crowd than I do at my church," yet, she's also stated, "I don't believe [homosexuality] is a lifestyle God agrees with." These conflicting statements point to a complex relationship with her gay fanbase.

This conundrum reflects a broader societal issue, as LGBTQ+ communities worldwide face increasingly hostile conditions. With draconian legislation on the horizon in places like Uganda and societal hostilities in countries like Malawi, we are witnessing a rising tide of scapegoating and potential persecution.
While I'm not a practicing Catholic, I empathize with the turmoil that comes when personal beliefs clash with longstanding teachings. The teachings of Jesus never promoted hate, and neither should anyone else. As such, I'm willing to forgive Kim's misunderstandings, but the ball is in her court—can she reciprocate?
With a treasure trove of uplifting music, from "Unspeakable Joy" to "Everyday," Kim English's work remains a musical tapestry that has touched our lives. It's time for Kim to embrace her diverse audience, and in these trying times, we could all use a little more joy.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

T-Dance Edition 2010 Volume 1 | Take 3

Sorry for the delay. Sunday was just too fabulous to pass up, so Rick and I stepped out to enjoy. Apparently, we weren’t the only ones that felt that way because all the restaurants with outdoor patios were packed. Car and foot traffic around Piedmont Park was unbelievable, but we made it through to our favorite taqueria, Frogs. Of course, with the good comes the bad. The waitress misplaced my card, so I had to call the bank and cancel it a.s.a.p. Stuff happens.
Fun turned to busy by Monday, and today is no different. So, I’m going to keep this brief and just say this is one heck of a mix! You’ll notice the inclusion of Moto Blanco mix of Mary J. Blige’s “I Am.” In a previous post, I suggested there were no official mixes and then this shows up along with a Dave Aude production as well. Guess I was wrong. I also dropped their mix of “Loubitons” by J-Lo. I don’t know what it is about Moto Blanco vs. Jennifer and Mary, but those mixes always seem to go down like a cool glass of iced tea. Always delightful and no aftertaste.
I’m working on the first Diva Series of the year, which for the most part is done. Many of the songs on the first set are pretty old and definitely need some surgery to bring them up to date. Bounced against more recent mixes, I’m having to take those down a notch so both sides can meet in the middle. It’s not that easy, but I’m up for the task. The goal is to have that first set sail smoothly without a highly compressed song screaming through your ears after something that’s considerably more subdued. I’ll work it out, I always do.
Well, I’m out of here for now. I’ll try to get these other mixes up by the weekend. Until then, enjoy!
