Madonna — The Ultimate Dance Collection Volume 3

Madonna, the undisputed Queen of Pop, has now entered the fourth chapter of her illustrious career. This phase, which is still unfolding, sees her working in collaboration with Warner Brothers to produce deluxe anniversary editions of her expansive catalog. Fans can look forward to the inclusion of her last three albums - MDNA, Rebel Heart, and Madame X - in the Warner Brothers collection starting in 2025.
What's more, an autobiography movie is also in the pipeline, with Madonna herself set to direct. This venture promises to bring new insights into her fascinating life and career, and is eagerly anticipated by fans worldwide.
Even as she undertakes these new projects, the rumor mill suggests Madonna might be silently crafting a new album. Known for her love of touring and interacting with fans, it wouldn't be surprising if she's been channeling her creative energy into fresh music amidst her familial commitments.
Despite the modern musical landscape shifting towards a 90s House revival, Madonna's influence on the dance genre over the decades is undeniable. Whether she'll choose to revisit her dance roots in this current era remains to be seen, but knowing Madonna, any endeavor will be executed in her distinctive, spectacular style.
Although her reign as the Queen of Pop was most dominant in the 80s and 90s, Madonna's success has never been confined to these decades. Her global hit "Hung Up" reached #1 in 41 countries, despite less enthusiasm from American radio, which often overlooks aging pop stars in favor of younger talent. Regardless, her success on Billboard's Dance Club chart is testament to her enduring appeal and ability to craft irresistible dance hits.
With a staggering $1.31 billion grossed in touring revenue, Madonna is the third highest-earning touring act, surpassed only by The Rolling Stones and U2. Her iconic 1990 Blonde Ambition Tour set a new standard for live performances, becoming a blueprint for many subsequent artists.
Madonna's most recent release, "Finally Enough Love", celebrates her 50 #1 Dance songs. This Ultimate Dance Collection, a compilation of her biggest hits, is a treat for fans and is available for streaming on Spotify. The third volume of this collection features remixes from the albums Confessions on a Dance Floor through to Madame X, and includes fan-favorite tracks such as "God Control", "Devil Pray", "Future Lovers", "Forbidden Love", "Heartbreak City", and "Masterpiece", amongst others.
For those who can't get enough of Madonna's music, Party Favorz has been curating The Ultimate Bootleg Collection, which promises to be a fan-made extravaganza of Madonna remixes. Stay tuned for this exciting release next Saturday. In the meantime, immerse yourself in the sounds of the Ultimate Dance Collection and enjoy the best of Madonna.

Madonna — The Ultimate Dance Collection Volume 2

Get ready Madonna fans, because Madonna Month is still in full swing! And this time, we're taking you on a journey through time with The Ultimate Dance Collection Volume 2. This collection is an absolute treasure trove of Madonna hits, so let's dive right in.
This second volume comes with a unique twist – we're revisiting hits like "Like A Prayer," "Express Yourself," "Keep It Together," and "Vogue," but this time in the form of Shep Pettibone's remixes. As an influential figure in the House Music scene, Shep's remixes gave these Madonna classics a fresh new sound. His collaborations with Madonna, starting with remixes of her "Like A Prayer" album tracks, marked a significant shift in Madonna's musical style, paving the way for her to experiment further with her work.
Madonna's venture into the 90s was marked by not just musical growth, but also her ability to stir up controversy. Her greatest hits album, "The Immaculate Collection," included the provocative "Justify My Love" – a video so controversial that MTV only aired it after midnight. But it wasn't just about the controversy. This decade also saw Madonna delve deeper into House Music, Trip Hop, and Electronica, and collaborate with the likes of William Orbit.
The 90s also saw the release of Madonna's "Erotica" and the controversial coffee table book "Sex." Despite the backlash, Madonna remained unfazed, even addressing the criticism in "Human Nature" from "Bedtime Stories."
The 90s and early Millennium brought us two distinct phases of Madonna, each marked by the influence of different DJs and producers. From Shep Pettibone's era, we move to William Orbit, then onto Junior Vasquez, and finally to Victor Calderone and Peter Rauhofer – all staples of Madonna's reign on the dancefloor.
In curating this set, I've tried to retain the original flow of the songs, with minor edits to improve clarity and cohesion. Notable mentions include "Bedtime Story," "Secret," and "Human Nature," where certain segments have been edited to fit better into the overall landscape of the song.
One particular addition that's worth mentioning is the Hex Hector remix of "The Power Of Good-Bye." While this unofficial remix was not his style until the early millennium and likely created as part of his private collection, this version fits perfectly into the Trance and Progressive House era, making it a suitable addition to this collection. Aside from the that, the original limited release remixes were not exactly stellar.
This era of Madonna's career holds a special place in my heart as it coincided with my own journey of self-discovery as I slowly stepped out of the closet. I've put an immense amount of work into creating this set, pouring more time into it than any other project in the past 15 years. I've strived for perfection, and I hope fellow Madonna fans will agree that this collection is truly exceptional.
So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this trip down memory lane with The Ultimate Dance Collection Volume 2. Here's to more Madonna Month magic!

Madonna — The Ultimate Dance Collection Volume 1

Party Favorz is ecstatic to unveil The Ultimate Dance Classics, a dazzling celebration of the inimitable dancefloor queen... MADONNA! Only two sets have been mastered thus far, each posing its unique set of challenges, yet presenting a fantastic journey through Madonna's iconic dance hits.
The first set revisits all her 80s dance hits, with a few extending into 1990. This period marked the genesis of Madonna's career, where she not only etched her name in the annals of music history but also paved the way for women to become outright superstars. From the nude photos published in Playboy, the tumultuous marriage with actor Sean Penn, to the Pepsi tour deal controversy surrounding the "Like A Prayer" video, Madonna was a master at creating or adeptly managing controversy.
Volume 1 of The Ultimate Dance Classics encapsulates these years with a stunning array of dancefloor burners and chart-topping pop songs that defined the decade.
One of the unique aspects of mixing 80s music is its reliance on electronic music based on a simple snare drum that maintained perfect timing. This pattern, consistent in mixes from Disconet, Hot Tracks, and Ultimix, facilitated seamless transitions for DJs, eliminating the worry about the key of a song. My primary focus was on the flow, diligently curating and arranging tracks to ensure a cohesive and purposeful transition.
This is my second attempt at crafting an 80s set for Madonna, and I'm delighted with the result. The way these sets have materialized, including the upcoming Volume 2, far surpassed my expectations.
For those not in the loop, Madonna is gearing up to release "Finally Enough Love," a celebratory compilation of her 50 dance songs that topped the Billboard Dance Club chart. While these tracks are edits, some of which are incredibly rare, I urge you to support her work, as fans have been eagerly waiting for this release. All of her hits, including this compilation, are available for streaming on Spotify.
I'll return next week with Volume 2. Until then...ENJOY!

The Ultimate Summer Dance Party: Summer Melt 2022

There's no denying it; Georgia summers are notoriously hot. But don't fret, we've got your back with our annual summer dance party mix! Just as the temperature plateaus at a bearable 90 degrees Fahrenheit, Party Favorz is swooping in to elevate your summer vibes. Forget about the humidity, grab a cold one, and let's talk about the soundtrack to your summer—Summer Melt.
Why Summer Melt is the Summer Dance Party You Need
Summer Melt is more than just a playlist; it's a journey through the current dance music scene. It’s an intoxicating blend of House, Melodic House, Nu-Disco, EDM, Tech House, and even Latin House. But it doesn’t stop there; the mix also includes jaw-dropping reworks of classic tracks that will make you do a double-take. We listened, we curated, and then we listened some more. The result? A finely-tuned summer dance party set that had us even tossing out some great songs because they just didn't make the cut. Yeah, it was a hard decision, but quality over quantity is our mantra.
Indie Labels, We Hear You
I know how it feels to be a small indie label or an up-and-coming artist struggling to get noticed. Trust me, we’re on your side. If your song didn't make it to Summer Melt, don't lose heart. Keep sending us your tracks, because we're always on the lookout for those hidden gems that deserve the spotlight. Party Favorz thrives on promoting music that often doesn’t get the attention it deserves.
What's Brewing in August? Oh, Just a Little Tribute to Madonna
As if Summer Melt isn't enough to keep you jamming, August is about to take things to a whole new level. Get ready for a month-long tribute to the Queen of Pop, Madonna! We’re not just skimming the surface here; we’re going all in with multiple volumes covering her classic dance tracks from start to present. Sure, Madonna has her compilation, "Finally Enough Love," coming up, but our approach is different—more authentic and truer to her club roots. And for the bootleg aficionados, we've got a surprise for you too.
Personal Note: Time Off Before the Madonna Extravaganza
I keep saying I need a break, and this time, I mean it. I've been running Party Favorz at full throttle since February, and I need to recharge and focus on personal commitments. I'll be taking a two-week break, but don't worry; when I come back, I plan on delivering our final Madonna tribute series that'll make this year memorable.
So, if you're looking to make your summer sizzle with the ultimate Summer Dance Party, look no further than Party Favorz’s Summer Melt. It's the sonic experience you didn't know you needed but won't be able to live without.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Summer’s Hottest Circuit Anthems! — Summer Edition 2022

It's been a hot minute since our last Circuit & Anthems set and for a good reason. Party Favorz was doling out a marathon of gay anthem classics that 1) there wasn't enough time to complete a circuit set for Pride and 2) there weren't enough worthy new tracks to compile a Pride set.
The good news is that good things come to those who wait. Summer Edition 2022 features the cream of the crop in circuit anthems for your summer workouts and/or pure enjoyment. This one is for the boys that enjoy that big room tribal sound with progressive elements sprinkled throughout.
Speaking of progressive elements — Mor Avrahami has been on a roll with his releases. It's always good to mix these sets up and Avrahami in the vein of Offer Nissim and Yinon Yahel — has been churning out the goods one right after another. Don't be surprised that he shows up here quite a bit. Just know that some of his great releases had to be cut out to keep this set tight.
I also want to point out that "Daddy" by Sleepsleep & Tahlia Paris takes on a new life once Jace M & Toy Armada got their hands on the song. They've sampled the disco classic "Relight My Fire" by Dan Hartman. To my knowledge, this song has never been sampled before because it doesn't lend itself to a specific hook. It's one of those epic disco classics that starts with a prelude and three minutes later veers into the actual song. In this case, neither has any association with the other but merely connects the two parts.
Jace and Toy sampled the prelude for the basis of "Daddy" turning the darker original into a fun tribal-disco romp that's bound to pack floors around the world. I don't think most DJs would have thought to sample that aspect of the song because it's just okay but damn if it doesn't work so well here.
There's a lot to get excited about in this latest circuit anthems release but I'll let the music do the talking. I should be back next week with our Summer Melt series featuring the latest Dance Club hits and club tracks heating up dance floors. Until the next time...ENJOY!

Beach House 2022 — The Biggest House Music Songs of the Summer!

Party Favorz is back with the annual edition of Beach House, which features the biggest house music songs of the summer.
You will notice that the latest releases 'Break My Soul' by Beyonce and 'Massive' by Drake are included. At the moment, these two mega artists are being credited for the resurgence of House Music when that couldn't be further from reality. The truth is, House Music never went anywhere and has continued to be enjoyed throughout the world's clubs for decades since its introduction in the mid-80s. Like every musical genre — House Music has had its moments of commercial popularity before going back underground and then resurfacing again.
House Music was already having a major commercial impact in the UK with the massive remake of the Rufus & Chaka Khan 'Tell Me Something Good' by Scottish DJ Ewan McVicar. At this very moment, 'Afraid To Feel' by LF System is not only topping the Beatport charts but virtually every Spotify dance music list as well as peaking at #2 only being held back by the unexpected resurgence of the 80s alternative hit 'Running Up That Hill' by Kate Bush. As with most musical trends — The UK leads the way followed by Europe and then the rest of the world. Even without Beyonce and Drake entering the fray — House Music was already poised to make a comeback.
As such, the first quarter of Beach House starts with some heavier House tunes that are all the rage at the moment. The Dirty Disco remix of 'Break My Soul' is possibly some of the best work the duo has ever laid down.
One other bit about BMS that's bothering me is the crediting of the writers for the Robin S classic 'Show Me Love.' BMS uses a standard House Music loop that's been prevalent throughout House Music since the early 90s. SML was originally released in 1990 but it wasn't until 1992 when the Swedish duo StoneBridge remixed it adding the familiar, hook-laden loop that the song blew up across the globe making it an instant House classic. BMS does not sound anything like the song they're giving credit to.
It's funny because BMS has more in common with another 90s House Music classic 'Push The Feeling On' as remixed by Marc Kinchen (MK). This is another one of those tracks where the original failed worldwide success until it was remixed going from a Euro-techno track to a House Music Track. Even then, I wouldn't necessarily give songwriting credit to the Nightcrawlers or MK either.
In this hyper-lawsuit-driven world where successful artists are frequently sued for infringing on existing work — it's understandable that the label may want to get ahead of it and just give out songwriting credit before people start lawyering up. This is one of those instances where common use comes into play.
Still, the writers of SML got credit and Robin S got a bouquet of white roses, so I guess everyone's happy.
Most importantly, Party Favorz thinks that our House Music lovers are not only gonna be happy but thrilled with this year's Beach House offering. There's a bit of Disco-House and Deep House giving it that summer feels you'd expect so as not to disappoint our discerning listeners. We've had this on repeat this last week and it hits all the marks. Until the next time...ENJOY!

Summer Throwback Dance Party 2022 | Old School Music Mix with a Twist

Eager to ignite a wave of nostalgia, I initially aimed to debut a Block & Crown (Adri Blok) Legacy mix in November as an ode to old school music. However, as time grew short, I had to place this project on hold. With the 4th of July holiday weekend upon us, I found the perfect opportunity to delve into my vast archive of classic mashups and bootlegs, fusing them into an unforgettable 'Summer Throwback Dance Party'.
Their tunes have sporadically surfaced on Dance Club, Peak Hour, and Disco House compilations over the years, and acted as a treat for the discerning ear. What binds these tracks together is their shared love for the pulsating rhythm of dance music in all its vibrant forms. You'll discover old melodies reimagined, classic disco or 80s dance tracks seamlessly blended with iconic 90s Hip Hop. The vocals often echo the original artists, though sometimes they introduce a new voice that closely mirrors the original vocalist. While the titles may not instantly ring a bell, the moment you hear them, you'll find yourself saying, "Wait a minute, I know that tune!"
While Block & Crown have owned this Funky House Music space for a while, others, including Richard Grey, Softmal, Nari, Lissat, and more, have also carved out their space in the throwback dance party landscape. More recently, Ghostmasters, The Soul Gang, Ghostbusterz, and Disco Gurls have made a noticeable impact. I suspect Nacho Chapado & Ivan Gomez are the creators behind these aliases, sharing these remixed gems via their Guareber Recordings brand. Their focus primarily lies in the realm of 80s dance, with occasional explorations into different eras.
In tune with the early summer season, I've curated a playlist of dance classics that are the heartbeat of the 'Summer Throwback Dance Party' - the perfect backdrop for BBQs, family outings, or lazy afternoons by the pool. Spanning from the 60s to now, with a few fresh current songs with a retro feel peppered in, this compilation perfectly captures the essence of old school music. Some are straightforward reimagined classics tailored for today's dance floor, much like our 'Thank God It's Disco' series, but with a broader chronological canvas.
Regrettably, some tracks couldn't be included due to their abrupt endings, which posed a challenge for a continuous mix set. Despite this, the 'Summer Throwback Dance Party' has been my constant companion for the past week, promising a timeless party vibe for all.
If you're seeking an escape, this set is your ticket to a temporary paradise. It's a veritable sonic feast!
Keep an eye out for the forthcoming Beach House series - all the tracks are compiled and ready to launch next week. I'm also revamping the Disco House series, but I'll reveal more about that when it's time. Until then...ENJOY!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4m73Cm2H0xM
Another delightful nod to a classic comes in the form of Mark Knight & Gene Farris's "I Can't Go For That." A Hall & Oates evergreen, this rendition is spun into a Tech House delight without losing its original flavor, capturing the nostalgia while catering to modern sensibilities.
A Melting Pot of Genres and Vibes
This mix isn't just limited to Tech House and Techno; it spreads its wings to include other forms of high-octane dance music. Tracks like Shouse's "Won't Forget You" remixed by Felix Jaehn offer an interesting detour, blending emotive vocals with contagious rhythms.

The Biggest Dance Songs of the Year…So Far! — Catch-Up 2022 Volume 2

I decided to surprise everyone by dropping volume 2 of the 2022 Catch-Up series featuring the biggest dance songs of the year so far a day early. Lately, the summer weather has been hotter than hell as we had a high of 102 degrees yesterday and a short-lived massive storm complete with hail that I got stuck in. Life is coming at everyone fast so I figured why put off what you can give the people today.
If you thought any songs were missing from yesterday's drop — they're likely included here. I threw in a few extras to round the final set out and the end result is an early summer party you don't want to miss.
Some of you may have been disappointed that I spent so much time sending up all the Gay Anthem series instead of new music but, to be honest — something is off about new releases. They're just not there and most of what is there is fairly generic. It appears that either the DJ services I rely on are either about to go under or there's just not enough new content that's being delivered regularly. It's hard to tell but when I dive into the world of YouTube, I'm not seeing a whole bunch that's wowing me at the moment. Putting this series together was one of the hardest things I had to do. Don't get me wrong, what's here is stellar and certainly, there was enough to fill two sets with a little help from last year's late entries and a few filler tracks. Still, I couldn't justify putting out redundant sets and passing them off as new material even if there were indeed new big releases from say Lizzo.
I've been working my ass off to deliver those Gay Anthem sets for you folks and in the process lost several subscribers (some of them longtime) while picking up 5x as many during the same period. I don't think those folks will stick around but if they do, welcome.
In short, I'm exhausted and need to recharge my batteries for at least a week. Don't plan on anything new this next weekend but I do have plans for a duel release just in time for the July 4th celebrations. I'll be trying something different. I'll be dropping the next Peak Hour set and I have another party set that's not like anything ever done before on this site that I think everyone will enjoy. It's something I had originally planned for November but put off due to scheduling issues but I think now is the perfect time to go for it.
Still, July will bring our usual releases like our annual Beach House, Summer Sweat, and Summer Melt series which covers all our bases. I may shake up the Beach House series but to be honest, I haven't even started looking at those tracks yet so no decision has been made. Party Favorz is also anticipating the release of a new Beyonce hybrid dance and country album at the end of July and I fully expect it's going to be HUGE. I anticipate an early release that should make it onto the aforementioned series.
In the interim, I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend and digs into the biggest dance songs of the year so far because there's more to come. I'll be back in a couple of weeks with a double-hitter. Until then...ENJOY!

The Biggest Dance Songs of the Year…So Far! | Catch-Up 2022 Volume 1

As promised, Party Favorz has officially switched gears into summer mode with the release of our annual Catch-Up for 2022. This set features the biggest and I mean the BIGGEST Dance Club songs of the year right at the midpoint. As typical of past releases, songs released in the last quarter of the previous year are also included because they had so much staying power — they remained in heavy rotation on streaming and in the clubs well into 2022. To be honest, the club business still hasn't fully recovered to the point that it appears Billboard has officially done away with the chart, which started in the 1970s as the Disco Chart. Who's to say if it will ever be back but the one remaining chart they offer in dance music (Electronic Dance Music) isn't worth a grain of salt and frankly not even worth bothering with.
For now, all decisions for songs included in this series are based on YouTube and Spotify streams and we're confident we got it right.
The Catch-Up series also includes new releases that either will be or should be summer hits and are solely based on editorial decisions about what we think should be on your radar. While there are several of these songs included across these two volumes there are definitely some notable ones we think deserve your attention.
First among these is a song released in the late fall of 2021 that apparently never came to our attention. Anabel Englund's 'Midnight Rapture' is an earworm delight that samples the Blondie #1 classic 'Rapture' from 1981. It's in keeping with many artists diving into their parent's record collections and pulling out delights from the decade and re-working the songs with fresh lyrics and a whole new vibe while keeping the original intact. Englund even creates a spoken-word interlude, which is more appropriate today than Debbie Harry's wonderbread rap in the original. Still, if you're not familiar with the song it's a pure delight. You should add it to your Spotify or Apple Music playlist.
Sofi Tukker (a Party Favorz favorite) is back with a couple of earworms for your summer listening. 'Original Sin' follows their trademark sound complete with the 1960s bass riff Tucker Halpern injects to great effect into many of their biggest songs. The Crush Club remix takes into deeper house terriorty but injects a euphoric and uplifting riff into the song about halfway through and is repeated again towards the end. You can add it to your Spotify or Apple Music playlist.
Our biggest pick here is 'Summer In New York' where Sofi Tukker lay down their cool kids indie vibe. Sofi even adds the familiar Suzanne Vega riff from her 1980s song 'Tom's Diner,' which was given the house treatment by DNA in the early 1990s. I'm fairly certain this is Soffi doing it herself and the song does not rely on this injection to make it the surefire summer anthem it is. Instead, it's almost kind of casually thrown in because it fits the whole vibe. If this song isn't on your Spotify or Apple Music playlist — it should be. You can thank me later.
I also want to recognize 'Heat' by TT The Artist, Rony Rex & Psylla. I stumbled on this song by accident and was immediately hooked and haven't been able to get it out of my head since. This is a massive Bass House tune that will blow up any dancefloor and deserves a lot more attention than it's currently receiving. You can add it to your Spotify or Apple Music list here. Check these songs out below:
Party Favorz also wants to give a HUGE shoutout to relative newcomer Ryan Leary who not only creates fantastic remixes of existing tunes as featured here in Marshmello & Khalid's 'Numb' and Swedish House Mafia's 'Heaven Takes You Home' giving the originals a much needed boost but he also appears to be producing his own original work which is available on his website, YouTube channel and SoundCloud. It's definitely worth your time to check him out because he really does have some serious talent brewing and we're expecting to hear...

Gay Anthems For A New Generation 2022 Volume 3

We've reached the end of our 2022 Gay Anthems For A New Generation series, and this final set is truly explosive. To bring a contemporary twist, I delved into the past 10 years and mixed in some newer gay anthems, blending them with reworked versions of beloved gay anthem classics. The result is a collection that feels fresh and relevant for today's dancefloors.
I couldn't resist throwing in a couple of recent tech-house tracks that sample the iconic gay anthems "The Underground" by Celeda and "Work" by Masters At Work. These near 20-year-old floor-scorchers have been given new life and will ignite any party. Every aspect of this series has been meticulously crafted, from scouring through decades of modernized classics to curating outstanding tracks that truly shine.
When it comes to comprehensive compilations, you won't find anything like this on Spotify or Apple Music. We've left no stone unturned in our quest to deliver the ultimate collection of gay anthems. Others may try to imitate, but they can't touch what we've achieved. However, there will always be those who attempt to pass off our work as their own. But let's not dwell on that.
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has been a part of Party Favorz. Your support has been invaluable as I dedicated countless hours to create these compilations that celebrate our life, love, and history. As Gay Pride approaches, I wish everyone a joyous celebration. And to all the allies out there who have never experienced a Pride parade, I urge you to attend and make a day out of it. Trust me, you won't regret it.
As promised, Party Favorz will be back next week with our regularly scheduled programming. Until then, ENJOY!

Gay Anthems For A New Generation 2022 Volume 2 — Modern Queer Anthems

Hey there, party people! Get ready to turn up the heat because Party Favorz is back with the much-anticipated volume 2 of the 2022 edition of Gay Anthems For A New Generation featuring the biggest modern queer anthems. And let me tell you, this set is absolutely sizzling!
We've packed this compilation with all the iconic gay anthems you'd expect from a series of this magnitude. But that's not all—we've also unearthed some hidden gems from the past 12 years that deserve their time in the spotlight. I've personally combed through this release with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring a seamless and buttery-smooth listening experience.
Now, here's some exciting news: when the 3rd volume drops next week, you'll find that we've left no stone unturned. This time capsule of music celebrates both our vibrant past and our vibrant present, capturing every aspect of gay life.
But wait, there's more! I want to introduce an additional sub-category to the gay anthem list—one that we didn't cover in the previous post: teenage angst. While it's true that growing up gay has become more accepting and easier in many places, there are still regions where repression persists. We all recall those high school years when we couldn't come out, fearing the consequences of being ostracized or bullied. Perhaps you even had a crush on your straight best friend. This set includes a few songs that touch on the themes of teenage longing, anger, and frustration. For me personally, after binge-watching the latest season of "Stranger Things" on Netflix and hearing Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" on repeat, it got me reflecting on the music that brought me solace during those times. It felt like Kate Bush belonged to me and spoke directly to my soul. Later, Sinead O'Connor's "The Lion and the Cobra" took that place in my heart. But even before that, there was the debut album from the Pretenders.
In the new millennium, Emo music became the anthem for angst-ridden teens. While anyone can relate to the isolation and depression that comes with this stage of life, being gay added an extra layer of social anxiety and the longing for acceptance from peers. So, I want to dedicate this set to all those kids out there, assuring them that it does get better. It may not be perfect, but it definitely gets much, much better.
I'm aware that gay pride events are already in full swing, so I'll be dropping the third and final volume of modern queer anthems around Thursday to keep the party going strong. Unfortunately, there won't be an official Gay Pride release this year for the circuit boys, but don't worry—I've got you covered. The pride-themed tracks will be included in part 1 of the 2022 Summer Edition. And to all our straight allies eagerly awaiting new music, I haven't forgotten my promise—fresh tunes are on the way!
So, my friends, get ready to hit that play button and immerse yourselves in the magic of volume two of the Gay Anthems For A New Generation series. Until the next time...ENJOY!
