Happy Friday everyone! Party Favorz is back with the third and final installment of BackSpin [2011–2012]. This edition wraps up our journey through the Electro House classics and millennial dance hits that defined this two-year period.

This set brings the energy with unforgettable anthems that shaped the era. This set include era-defining songs like “Hello” by Martin Solveig and Dragonette, “We Found Love” by Rihanna and Calvin Harris, “Party Rock Anthem” by LMFAO, and “Save the World” by Swedish House Mafia—a group that probably deserves their own Legacy entry in the near future.

Of course, no mix from this period would be complete without David Guetta. His collaborations with powerhouse vocalists dominated clubs worldwide. From “Turn Me On” with Nicki Minaj to “Titanium” with Sia, Guetta proved unstoppable. Titanium in particular became the defining anthem of the decade, pairing raw emotion with a drop that still gives chills.

Spectrum: From Indie Roots to Electro House Anthem

Another standout is “Spectrum (Say My Name)” by Florence + The Machine. Originally produced by Paul Epworth for the band’s 2011 album Ceremonials, the track was already an international hit thanks to Florence Welch’s soaring vocals and the band’s signature art-pop drama.

It was only later that Calvin Harris stepped in with his remix, transforming it into a club juggernaut. His reimagined version climbed to the top of the UK Singles Chart and became a festival favorite, bridging the gap between indie and EDM. More than a decade later, the song continues to evolve with new Afro House reworks and a recent Morgan Seatree remix, proving just how enduring its core melody and vocals are.

Party Rockers and Dancefloor Mayhem

While the big-room anthems carried the charts, some of the most infectious energy came from unexpected corners. One of our favorite party tracks from this period is “Loca People (What the F*)” by Sak Noel**. The original and its accompanying remixes were stellar in their own right, but it was the bootleg mashup by DJs From Mars that really lit dancefloors.

In particular, DJs From Mars—in one of their earliest appearances—delivered a mashup that still turns heads. By blending Sak Noel’s banger with Bingo Players and a familiar riff from The White Stripes, they created a genre-bending track that sent crowds into hysteria. If you were on the dancefloor when this dropped, you know the chaos it unleashed. Their version wasn't just a remix; it was a reinvention, taking an already memorable song and pushing it into next-level territory.

Closing the Chapter on 2011–2012

BackSpin Volume 11 officially closes out the 2011–2012 era of Electro House classics, but the journey continues. We’ll pick things back up with BackSpin [2013–2014] early in 2026, continuing the timeline and showcasing the evolution of EDM into its next phase.

Before then, Party Favorz has something special lined up. By November, we’ll release a special edition that looks further back—from 1999 through the early 2000s. These big room classics were the precursor to the Electro House explosion of the 2010s, a period many consider the golden age of club music. Expect high energy, head-snapping BPMs, and big progressive tribal beats that laid the foundation for everything that followed.

Even with BackSpin [2011–2012] Volume 11 closing this chapter, we’re not slowing down. More sets, more genres, and more reasons to keep your weekends lit with the very best in dance music.

While you're here, consider chipping in by donating to Party Favorz—your support keeps these dance mixes coming.

Until the next time…ENJOY!
