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

BPM Edition 2010 Volume 1 | Take 2

Kicking off this set is Mariah’s third release from her “Memoires of an Imperfect Angel” album.  What’s notable here is Jump Smokers have gone back and re-worked the entire album for a near future release and what a job they did!  I admit, I wasn’t all that happy with the album, but I think pumping some fresh blood into it may be it’s saving grace.
With the exception of Agnes’ “On & On” the first half of this set delves deeply into some seriously smoking hip-hop via the electro route.  Folks, this is what I’ve been talking about.  The saving grace for hip-hop is going to be electro.  While all of these are stellar tracks that’ll get you jumpin’ Bassmonkeys and Soulshaker serve up a really funky number on “Bad 4 My Health.”  With two separate memorable taglines (Don’t blame me if I think with my hoo hoo) and (just call me and I’ll be there in a second) this song delivers the goods and then some.  The other is “Now You See It” by Honorebel with Pitbull, which has been blowing up all over dance floors.
The second half moves in a more mainstream direction starting with Keri Hilson’s latest “Slow Dance.”  Kaskade really works this number out with a throbbing immediate electro bassline.  Another personal favorite is the latest by Dragonette.  “Pick Up the Phone” may slow it down it bit, but it’s catchy as hell and is the type of song that relentlessly sticks in your brain.
Closing out this set we’ve got some reloaded classics.  ATB’s “9PM (Til I Come) is a sure fire floor filler and Everything But the Girl’s “Missing” is taken to new heights.  Picking up where Todd Terry left off, DJ DLG adds some thick bass stabs, while retaining the integrity of the original of this late 90s classic.  Perhaps the oddest number in the bunch is the closing track “Stand By Me” by Ben E. King.  This is the original 60s classic given an electro makeover by Rachel Ellektra that surprisingly works very well.
As a reminder, this set and its companion to be released on Thursday are part of a trial I’m running to help cover my costs associated with this site.  When you click on the “donate” button you will be taken to PayPal where you can make your contribution of $2.99.  Once completed, you will receive a separate email with download instructions.  It will also have an email address to contact me should something go wrong and I can then reset the link for you.
I hope everyone’s having a great week.  I’ll be posting Take 3 of this set on Thursday and have already started in on the "Winter Edition” which is coming up short on new material.  Hopefully, some new tunes will start showing up this week, otherwise, it will be my first single set in a long time.  I’ll be back in a couple of days.  Until then, enjoy!

BPM Edition 2010 Volume 1 | Take 1

Every once in a blue moon, everything just falls into place. I can say without any modesty that, that is the case for the very first BPM Edition of 2010. This and the upcoming final two sets that comprise volume 1 fell together with such ease that even I am amazed at how awesome these sets are. I did perform some modest editing, but for the most part, the songs are as is. Basically, the only thing I had left to do was go back and remaster all the songs to rein them in for a smoother listening experience. In short, this entire edition ROCKS!
By August of last year, I began experimenting with this series and started mixing in underground house with the mainstream. I had received a perfectly legitimate critique of my work from someone on my Podbean site. Basically, the song selection was redundant. When the same producers remix everyone under the sun over and over, you run the risk of having your sets sounding the same or better yet, like a month old loaf of stale bread. As a result, I started playing around with the set list and frankly, I’m more than pleased with the end result. Going forward, this series will continue to be more inclusive of a variety of styles from electro, mainstream, funky and progressive house. On the first two sets, you’ll find a good mixture, while the third set relies more on underground house with a smattering of mainstream, which delivers a more peak hour feel. The goal here is to hit all the right notes, without coming across as generic or the same shit everyone else is doing. Just trying to keep it fresh.
Ultimately, my goal is to continue to deliver the finest selection of non-stop dance podcasts for your workouts, parties and/or drive time to and from work, while providing exposure for artists and producers that most of you may never have heard of otherwise. The old saying goes “you have to spend money to make money” doesn’t necessarily apply here, because I just don’t even come close to covering my costs. Nevertheless, I’ll be happy if I can break even and keep things chugging along.
Right now, it’s a balmy 34 degrees outside, though the sun is out; so who am I to bitch? For me, any day with sunshine and without rain is like a gift from the gods and certainly one I don’t turn down. So, I’m going to wrap this up and enjoy the rest of my day. I hope everyone is staying warm and having a fabulous weekend. I’ll be back on Tuesday with part two. Until then, enjoy!

Top Dance Songs of 2009 Volume 4

In the unforgettable year of 2009, we were graced with a plethora of energetic beats and vibrant melodies that have made an enduring impact on dance music. The top dance songs of 2009, featuring groundbreaking artists and transformative remixes, continue to be celebrated even today for their creativity and originality.
Kicking off the list is Alexandra Burke's infectious collaboration with Flo Rida, "Bad Boys", excellently remixed by Moto Blanco. Similarly, the Mark Picchiotti mix of Solange's "T.O.N.Y" caught attention for its captivating rhythm and memorable melodies. Another top dance song of 2009 that undoubtedly kept clubbers moving was Moony's "I Don't Know Why," as remixed by Viale & DJ Ross.
Among the most popular dance songs of 2009 were "Say It" by Booty Luv, remixed by Warren Clarke, and "Boys and Girls" by Pixie Lott, given a fresh spin by Moto Blanco Club. Enrique Iglesias and Ciara's "Takin' Back My Love", with its infectious beats by Jody Den Broeder, was another dance floor favorite.
However, it would be impossible to discuss the top dance songs of 2009 without mentioning David Guetta's collaboration with Kelly Rowland, "When Love Takes Over", and Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feelin'", both of which were transformative pieces that continue to define the year's dance music scene. Pronto's "Gonna Make U Sweat" (Summer Party Mix) and Rudenko's "Everybody" (Club Mix) were also fan favorites, both featuring groovy rhythms that kept the party going.
Moreover, Miami Starfish's reimagining of Jermaine Stewart's "Clothes Off" (Soul Seekerz Club Mix), The Ian Carey Project's "Get Shaky" (Ian Carey Original Mix), and Noisettes' "Don't Upset The Rhythm" (Go Baby Go) (Soul Seekerz Club Mix) all cemented their positions in the top dance songs of 2009.
The year also saw exceptional releases like Tiesto & Sneaky Sound System's "I Will Be Here" (Wolfgang Gartner Remix), U2's "Magnificent" (Dave Aude Club Mix), and Mini Viva's "Left My Heart in Tokyo" (Pete Hammond Contemporary Remix). Not to be outdone were chart-toppers like Kelly Clarkson's "I Do Not Hook Up" (Bimbo Jones Club Mix), Pussycat Dolls' "Hush Hush" (I Will Survive) (Dave Aude Extended Mix), Little Boots' "Remedy" (Stonemasons Club Mix), and Ameerah's "The Sound Of Missing You" (Extended Mix).
In essence, 2009 was a landmark year in the world of dance music, as reflected in the lasting appeal of its top dance songs. These hits still echo on dancefloors worldwide, reminding us of the unforgettable year that was 2009.

Top Dance Songs of 2009 Volume 3

In the transformative year of 2009, the landscape of dance music experienced a major shift. Online retailers selling dance music began to stake their claim on the burgeoning music market. It was a notable period when legal online distribution of dance music found its stride. The Top Dance Songs of 2009 emerged in an ecosystem where companies like Beatport, Traxsource, and Juno Download were curating quality house music that you couldn't find in your local record store, which, in fact, was swiftly becoming a relic of the past.
These online platforms offered an extensive catalog from thousands of dance labels across the globe. Their success rested in meticulously sorting music into genre-specific categories, making it easy for users to discover tunes that align with their tastes. For instance, my go-to sections were "House Music" in Beatport, "Soulful" in Traxsource, and "Funky House" in Juno Download. It was in these niches that I would unearth music gems that were obscure to many but ignited the dance floors across the globe. Now, Party Favorz could share these hidden treasures from the Top Dance Songs of 2009 with our podcast listeners.
However, in the rush to dominate the dance music market, not every player made it. Companies like XpressBeats met their end, and others like Juno and DJdownload merged. The cut-throat competition was a sign of an industry on the cusp of evolution. It became clear that survival hinged on three factors: serving a niche market that major distributors overlooked, creating an easy-to-navigate platform, and ensuring a fast, intuitive search experience. Beatport emerged as the leader in delivering on all of these fronts, while others like Juno Download and Traxsource grappled with issues around layout and speed.
In this exciting period, Masterbeat was one service that showed significant promise. Being the sole online platform to negotiate deals with big labels for dance remixes of popular artists like Beyonce, Rihanna, or Madonna, Masterbeat was ideally poised to make a big splash in our Top Dance Songs of 2009. Their struggle, however, lay in managing the expectations of these big labels, which often interfered with their business operations and deviated from their original goal of promoting mainstream dance music alongside popular underground house.
As the year progressed, it became evident that these online dance music retailers were a vital part of the music industry's evolution. They played a key role in promoting and distributing the Top Dance Songs of 2009, ushering in a new era of music discovery. Meanwhile, services like iTunes began to broaden their offering, with the aim of becoming the Wal-Mart Superstore of online entertainment.
Reflecting back on this transformative year, it's clear that 2009 was a turning point in the dance music industry. Despite some challenges and growing pains, it paved the way for platforms to deliver the best dance music directly to fans. So, here's to remembering the Top Dance Songs of 2009 and the year that fundamentally changed how we discover and enjoy music. To wrap up this recollection, I'd like to share Stevie Bishop's remix of Lilly Allen's powerful song "Fuck You."
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Top Dance Songs of 2009 Volume 2

The landscape of dance music experienced a significant shift in 2009, a golden period for DJs and producers that left a lasting mark on the genre. This year in music, symbolized by the Top Dance Songs of 2009, was characterized by the successful fusion of electro-house with mainstream appeal, a trend that echoes the 70s, when disco transcended the clubs and redefined pop music.
In the realm of remixes, Dave Aude was the year's most prolific figure. His signature style breathed life into countless club hits, making him the go-to producer for artists seeking tracks that would set dancefloors alight worldwide. From the infectious beats of Beyonce to the edgy tunes of Lady Gaga, Dave was the powerhouse behind many of the Top Dance Songs of 2009.
On the other hand, Liverpool-based production team Cahill emerged as a noteworthy player in the electro-pop scene. Their distinctive touch on tracks like Agnes's "Release Me" and Mariah's remixes has positioned them as the next superstar production team. Their work in 2009 set the stage for their ascent to club domination in 2010.
Additionally, 2009 marked the triumphant return of some of dance music's most respected figures. DJ Barry Harris, Pete Hammond, and Razor N' Guido, known for their influential contributions to club music, made a notable comeback. Their fresh production styles in the Top Dance Songs of 2009 was a welcome contrast in a crowded field of repetitive mixes, and their re-emergence was met with considerable anticipation for their future work.
The Top Dance Songs of 2009 were greatly influenced by these creative forces, blending new trends with the return of seasoned masters. As we explore this defining year in dance music, we look forward to the continual evolution of this dynamic genre.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Top Dance Songs of 2009 Volume 1

Kickstart 2010 by revisiting the top dance songs of 2009 that made us groove, celebrate and live life in full swing. 2009, for instance, was the year that unveiled a true diva, Kelly Rowland, whose life post-Destiny's Child and Sony sparked a new musical journey. She teamed up with David Guetta to knock out the worldwide smash "When Love Takes Over", a track that took over dance floors globally, becoming one of the top dance songs of 2009. The impact was such that the moment it hit WMC, it became an unstoppable force.
David Guetta further cemented his position as 2009's man of the moment. His collaboration with the Black Eyed Peas resulted in two massive hits - "Boom Boom Pow" and "I Got a Feelin." These songs didn't just dominate the club scene but also ruled the Top 40 charts for most of the spring season, indicating a shift in the musical tastes of listeners. David Guetta and the Black Eyed Peas revolutionized the Top 40 radio scene in the U.S, paving the way for more pop artists to follow suit.
A surprise hit that year came from Swedish newbie Agnes' with "Release Me." Her simple, yet catchy pop style coupled with the right production magic from Cahill was a treat to the dance floor enthusiasts, ranking her music among the top dance songs of 2009.
While the unfortunate news of pop icon Michael Jackson's passing took center stage that year, Lady Gaga's ascend to fame shared the spotlight. Her debut album "The Fame", which came out in August 2008, was praised by influential music blogs for its dance-ready electronic beats and pop sensibility. The album's lead single "Just Dance" made waves in clubs across the globe. As a result, Top 40 radio couldn't resist her charm and had to include her music in their rotation, further propelling her career.
We must also acknowledge Beyonce's top game in 2009, with chart-topping hits like "Single Ladies," "Halo," and "Sweet Dreams," that continuously kept her in the news. Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" also made headlines, Mariah Carey and P!nk delivered hits, and even Britney Spears brought us the brilliant "3."
One standout song that year was "Patron Tequila" by Paradiso Girls and Lil Jon, which was one of three hits celebrating a good time. Erika Jayne's "Give You Everything" from her album "Pretty Mess" also became a favorite. Lastly, we saw Anjulie's "Boom" top the club charts.
In conclusion, 2009 was an unforgettable year in the dance music scene, and the top dance songs of 2009 are an enduring testament to that. This was just a glimpse into the exciting year that was 2009. Stay tuned for more exciting tidbits and remember to check out the gayest version of Miley Cyrus' "Party in the U.S.A." by NYCFudge, which I must confess is a guilty pleasure of mine below.

Holiday Edition 2009 Volume 3

Here at Party Favorz, we (meaning I) never rest on our laurels.  As such, I am sending up my final mix of the year so I can spread joy and happiness to all of my fellow gay men (and women) throughout the world this season.  This final Holiday Edition 2009 continues much in the same vein as its predecessors, with a little Christmas cheer thrown in to round out the mix.
I realize that many of you in the US and the UK are just now digging your way out of the snow, while many more of you in the Midwest are gearing up for massive blizzards in the next couple of days.  If it's any conciliation, the ATL has been having beautiful sunny days in the low 60s, which we are going to lose tomorrow as the rain heads south (oh joy).  At the very least, if you're stuck and can't go out, you can make your own little party.  Just make sure your fridge is stocked and that your significant other or BB (best buddy, what did you think I meant!?!!) is with you before the storm.
I'll be back early tomorrow with my final thoughts of 2009, the year that was and will NEVER be again.  So sit tight party people, Santa will be back one last time before signing off for the year.  Until then, ENJOY!

I bet you guys think I went off and forgot about you.  Well, I didn't.  Things have just been a little hectic around here.  Rick finally had his biopsy on Tuesday and we were expecting results on Friday.  We did get a little glimmer of hope when they drew his blood and results showed him at 3.1 for his creatinine levels, well below the 4.0 the doctor wanted him at.  As Friday crept up on us, the doctor didn't call and Rick pretty much had a meltdown at work.  Though I'm not going to count our chickens before they're hatched, I'm pretty confident that he will finally be off dialysis before Christmas.  Understanding how health care in America works, they've been milking his insurance for all that it's worth.  Private insurance pays out more than Medicare, and to have a patient like him is like hitting the lottery.  I had Rick start getting his blood drawn elsewhere to prove my point and those results were consistently much lower than what his doctor was reporting.  Nevertheless, I fully expect the good doctor to show up on Wednesday bearing a Santa hat and give him the good news.  If that happens, I think he and I will count our blessings that this nightmare of uncertainty has finally ended.
As you can see, this past week has been all about my man and spending more time with him, while ensuring him everything is going to be alright.  During that time, I was able to get the majority of my work done at night, while he was asleep.  Rest assured, the Holiday Editions are finished and I'll be previewing them shortly on one of my much-treasured trips around the city on this beautiful sunny day (albeit chilly).  I'll be posting a mix each day Monday through Wednesday to ensure I meet my deadline.  After that, I'll be taking a much-needed break and begin focusing on my own efforts.
I hope everyone has gotten all of their holiday shopping done and are simply gearing up for the upcoming festivities that will allow you to sit back and relax while taking stock of your life and the treasures that surround you.  Whether they're obvious to you or not, trust me, they do exist; you just need to look a little harder and you'll be surprised what you uncover.  I'll be back tomorrow with the first of three smoking hot Holiday sets.
Until then, ENJOY!

T-Dance Edition 2009 Volume 5 | Cool Down

I know I promised this for Tuesday, but I have been a VBB (Very Busy Boy) this week.  Half the time, I didn't know if I was coming or going.  Despite that, I've already managed to knock out the final BPM Edition 2009 of the year and will start on the Holiday Edition 2009 tomorrow.  Rest assured, I'm not sitting on my tush doing anything.  You folks can expect to be seeing a lot of posts between now and Christmas Eve.  So don't think I'm spamming you, I'm just running a little bit behind and will be playing catch-up this next week.
In the meantime, I'm serving up the long overdue "Cool Down" mix of the final 2009 T-Dance Edition.  There's a heaping amount of soul and gospel in this set.  To keep it interesting, I tried my best to be very discerning about what went into this final mix.  I've been pretty much listening to this and Adam Lambert in my car for the last week and a half while driving around town trying to get things done.  I can assure you, I wasn't Christmas shopping either.  Santa hasn't visited the Party Favorz household in over three years.  My guess is that Rick and I have either been naughty or it's because we're no longer listed in the phone book LOL.
I love the soothing tempo and soulful vocals, which did a fantastic job of calming me while in heavy traffic in and around town.  So much so, I kept my birdie to myself, even in situations where it was warranted to let it loose and fly high and proud.  Instead, I would just say "Merry Christmas" to the offending idiot on the cell phone, who would speed up to cut in front of me and then proceed to go 40 mph or that jack@$$ that damn near ran into me in the Starbucks parking lot, even though I had the right of way.  Ahh yes, tis the season to be kind to my fellow man.
Whether it's the warm summer vibes of Bah Samba's "Live in the Summer," the uplifting "Sunshine (In This Heart of Mine)" by Kehoe & Harmony, the heart-tugging "Don't Tell Me (That You're Sorry)" by Ethan White & Marie Tweek or the absolutely gorgeous "Home" by New York's fabulously gifted Heather Johnson, there is a little something here to fill your mind, body, and soul.  And, if Soulful house isn't your cup of tea, try it out anyway.  It might very well help you keep that birdie from taking flight while fighting traffic during this hectic time of the year.  Enjoy!
