It’s that time of year again — when we queers let our hair down, crank up the volume, and celebrate our unapologetic fabulousness. Pride is here, and while the political landscape may feel unstable and our rights constantly under siege, one truth remains: the LGBTQ community will always find a way to throw a damn good party. Or, as the Scissor Sisters cheekily reminded us, “Let’s Have a Kiki.”

Reimagining the Classics

Originally, the plan was to freshen up this year’s edition with newer remixes of iconic gay anthems. But after diving headfirst into a sea of fanmade bootlegs — many of which ranged from barely passable to downright unlistenable — I realized that over the years, I had already assembled the best of the best. So, instead of chasing ghosts, I shifted gears and pulled together what I consider to be the most powerful, energetic, and expertly crafted versions of these beloved tracks that had already been immortalized in digital form.

The Ultimate Essentials

Some songs were no-brainers — standout mixes that continue to dominate queer dancefloors year after year. Others posed a challenge, with multiple excellent interpretations vying for a spot. In those cases, I went with what worked best in the mix and what kept the momentum flowing. Sadly, a few favorites didn’t make the final cut, not because they weren’t worthy, but because they didn’t quite fit this year’s energy. That’s always the hardest part — deciding what to keep and what to let go.

In the end, what you’re getting is a tightly crafted experience: essential gay anthems from as far back as the '70s, reinvented with a modern edge that will hit just right for Millennials and Gen Z — and likely give Gen X and Boomers a reason to raise a glittery eyebrow and smile. These aren’t just remixes — they’re reinventions that breathe new life into songs that already had a heartbeat of their own.

A Community Effort

I want to give a massive shoutout to Hans, who responded to my call for suggestions with enthusiasm and insight. While I already had most of his picks in the archive, and only a couple made the final mix, his contribution helped steer the direction and is greatly appreciated. Hopefully, I did you proud, Hans.

World Pride, Doctor’s Orders, and a Delayed Drop

World Pride reaches its grand finale this weekend in Washington, D.C., which feels a bit off-kilter since it typically wraps up toward the end of June. I had fully intended to get these sets out much earlier, but between deep diving into remix archives and juggling an endless cycle of doctor’s appointments (check recent posts for that saga), time slipped through my fingers like glitter in a windstorm.

As mentioned in yesterday’s post, Party Favorz is rolling out a double-header of new releases to get back on track with our schedule. This brings us up to speed just in time for the Spring Edition 2025. I’ll be honest—new releases have been on the lighter side lately. So, to balance the energy, I pulled in a few standout tracks from past editions to round out this set and give it some extra weight.

Still Plenty of New Music to Keep the Floor Moving

That doesn’t mean there’s a shortage of fire. This edition features fresh tracks and fierce remixes from some of the biggest names in pop and dance. Expect new heat from The Weeknd, Kylie Minogue, Jennifer Lopez, Tate McRae, Lola Young, and the ever-iconic Lady Gaga.

One of the standout moments comes courtesy of a killer remix of Beautiful People, the latest collaboration between David Guetta and Sia. These two have a proven track record of club-ready bangers, and this one doesn’t disappoint.

Taking a Beat: Upcoming Diva Hall of Fame Entry

Next week, I’m planning to take a short break while working on something a bit special—a Diva Hall of Fame reboot for Adele. With the sheer volume of newer remixes that span her entire catalog, it felt like the right time to refresh her entry. Since she’s wrapped up her Las Vegas residency and likely won’t be dropping new material for a while, this gives us a solid stopping point to reflect on her evolution as both a vocalist and a dancefloor muse.

I also had Celine Dion in my sights for a reboot, but that’s temporarily on hold. I’m hoping to get Dirty Disco to remix one of her biggest hits—a track that, shockingly, never received an official remix. If he takes it on, that’ll give me the green light to move forward.

Recovery Update: The Not-So-Glamorous Reality

I want to take a moment to thank everyone for your kind messages and support during my recovery. That said, it’s not going as smoothly—or as quickly—as I had hoped. The painkillers I’ve been prescribed are fine for regular pain, but when it comes to the debridement process (scraping off dead skin, aka those blackened areas from the wound), they’re totally useless.

They’ve managed to remove a good chunk already, but it’s slow as hell. Frankly, this should’ve been done when I was in the hospital for six days under anesthesia. Instead, I’m stuck dealing with this now, awake, and under a double dose of pain meds that barely touch the surface. It still hurts like a motherfucker.

What really worries me is that this is the longest I’ve ever been on opioids. Dependency is starting to feel way too real. I’m currently trying to find a doctor—though I don’t even know what kind—who can remove the remaining dead ...
