Party Favorz is back with Volume II of the Fall Throwback Dance Party mix for 2025 — and this one spanks. As promised, this set leans into familiarity with recognizable dubs woven through tracks from your past. Remixers have a real talent for pulling together different genres and decades, creating something new that still sparks instant memories. Some of these combinations hit so well they’ll have you out of your seat.

A Much-Needed Medical BreakthroughYesterday’s outpatient procedure to seal off the faulty veins in my leg was a turning point. For the first time in months, I woke up without that familiar throbbing rush the moment my feet hit the floor. That alone felt like a gift. Later this morning, I’ll be checking into Emory Hospital for a full debridement under anesthesia. Many of you saw the earlier photo I shared, so you already know how important this step is. Clearing all the necrotic tissue at once is far more effective than the four months of manual removals I endured earlier this year — a slow, brutally painful process even with medication.

Why Volume III Will Be Briefly DelayedBecause of this short hospital stay, the release of Volume III — the final chapter of the Fall Throwback Dance Party series — will be pushed back slightly. Even so, we’re still aligned with the rest of the year’s plans. Once I’m home and settled, the next Club Fusion installment, Jingle Electric, will be moving forward.

A Tough Call About the Holiday EditionI’m also making the difficult decision to skip this year’s Holiday Edition. It’s not just the time crunch — producing those mixes costs over sixty dollars each, and right now, that kind of expense isn’t realistic. On top of my medical bills, the avalanche of costs from my last hospital stay has been enormous. Between essential Amazon purchases and replacing a bricked phone, the financial hit has been hard to ignore. If you’ve checked the donation portal lately, you know the situation already speaks for itself.

Looking Toward Thanksgiving WeekendMy goal is to release Volume III the weekend after Thanksgiving. With the holiday slowing down the constant flow of nurses, physical therapists, and occupational therapists, I should finally have the quiet time needed to wrap it up.

If You Want Party Favorz To ContinueIf these mixes have carried you through workouts, weekends, holidays, or late-night escapes — and you want them to keep coming — please consider supporting Party Favorz through the donation portal. Even small contributions help stabilize things during a year where medical demands have taken such a toll. Your support genuinely keeps this project alive.

I’ll be back next weekend, and until then…ENJOY!

Party Favorz is back in the saddle and kicking off the next round of the Fall Throwback Dance Party series. This first volume blends 70s, 80s, and 90s gems into a Funky House ride that hits all the right nerves. There’s a strong lean into 80s-style R&B dance grooves this time—plenty of deep cuts, and many so under-the-radar that even I had trouble tracing their origins. Still, the sound is unmistakably rooted in classic 80s R&B club culture, and these tracks hold up right alongside the songs you already know. Nothing here breaks the flow; it only adds to the flavor. Expect even more familiarity in the next two volumes of the Fall edition.

I knocked out this mix around two in the morning—insomnia is still running the show. Nighttime pain keeps me from getting more than a few hours of sleep, but I’m hoping that shifts soon. I’ve got outpatient surgery coming up to improve blood flow in my leg, which should speed the healing process. After that, I’m scheduled for another procedure to remove the necrotic tissue you may have seen in the not-so-pleasant photo I shared earlier. On top of that, I have a rotating team of nurses handling wound care several times a week, plus physical and occupational therapists helping me strengthen my lower extremities and learn how to maneuver the wheelchair safely inside my apartment. It’s a lot at once, but I’m adjusting to the chaos one day at a time.

As if that wasn’t enough, my phone ended up bricked while I was in the hospital, and to top it off, someone stole my Tiffany’s wedding ring during the ordeal. Now I’m juggling phone replacement and account security on top of everything else. A new phone arrives Monday, but until then, I’m locked out of my Facebook and Instagram accounts, which makes staying connected a little harder than usual. Just another thing to work around while life keeps throwing surprises my way.

All of this has thrown off my usual workflow for building these mixes. The hardest part is not being able to drive, which means I can’t preview the sets in the car—my old go-to for checking transitions, flow, and overall energy. For years, listening in the car has been my final quality check. Without that, I have to trust my instincts during the build phase instead of reviewing the mixes in full ahead of release. Thankfully, the instincts are still sharp, but if you catch any transitions that sound slightly off, let me know and I’ll fix them.

Meanwhile, the Party Favorz homepage is going through a few cosmetic changes. Nothing major—streaming and downloads are still running normally. Some of the visual updates hit a snag, and we’re working through them, so don’t panic if something looks a little odd. We’ve had offers to completely rebuild the website, but a full redesign just isn’t in the budget right now. So we’re polishing what we can, modernizing the look bit by bit, and keeping everything functional while we work through it.

Volume 2 of the Fall Throwback Dance Party is almost wrapped, and Volume 3 is already queued up next. Both should land in the coming week and bring us back into more familiar territory.

If you’re craving more of the Funky House flavor that sneaks into this set, check out the Funky House Sessions. If you're more into the classic era tracks that shaped this series, you’ll find plenty in BackSpin and other retro genres.

Before I close out, I want to mention something important. Party Favorz has always been a labor of love, but keeping it running—especially right now—comes with real costs. If you enjoy the mixes, the history, the artwork, the remasters, or the steady flow of releases all year long, consider dropping a little support my way. Even a small recurring contribution helps keep things afloat while I navigate these medical challenges and still push myself to deliver the music you come here for.

Until the next time...ENJOY!

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!

Relive the peak of EDM with Top Electro House classics and club anthems from 2011–2012 in BackSpin Vol. 10, featuring Guetta, Harris, SHM, and Tiësto.

Party Favorz is back with the latest installment of our BackSpin series, spotlighting the Electro House and crossover dance hits that ignited 2011–2012. These two whirlwind years marked EDM’s jump from niche festival staple to mainstream juggernaut, thanks to headline makers like David Guetta and Swedish House Mafia. Their success opened the floodgates for pop stars who craved festival-sized drops—and fans who wanted club energy in their earbuds.

Guetta, SHM & the EDM Gold Rush

David Guetta’s hit-factory formula primed radio for four-on-the-floor beats, but it was Swedish House Mafia’s stadium-grade anthem “Don’t You Worry Child” that proved big-room hooks could rule the Hot 100. Released in September 2012, the track scaled charts on both sides of the Atlantic, cementing Electro House as a pop force and setting a template today’s producers still chase.

Rihanna & Calvin Harris: Lightning in a Bottle

When Rihanna paired with Calvin Harris on “We Found Love”, the song detonated—ten weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 and endless DJ spins. Harris stayed in her orbit with “Where Have You Been,” keeping the singer on dance-floor rotation while boosting his own superstar status. Their combo of emotive vocals and festival-ready synths became EDM’s new blueprint for crossover success.

Katy Perry & Ke$ha: Pop Royalty Goes Electro

Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream era technically started in 2010, yet its remix packages stretched well into 2012. dancefloor makeovers of “Firework”, The One That Got Away, and “Last Friday Night” guaranteed Perry prime placement in every peak-hour set. Meanwhile, Ke$ha fed party animals with brat-pop bangers like “Blow” and 2012’s “Die Young,” each armed with remix bundles that slammed straight into the dance-charts.

Lady Gaga: An Enduring LGBTQ Anthem

With “Born This Way”, Gaga delivered a universal call-to-arms wrapped in Electro House armor. Remixers—from Chew Fu and Bimbo Jones to Manhattan Clique and Michael Woods—ensured every LGBTQ+ sub-scene had a tailored version. The result? A gay anthem that moved from Pride parades to prime-time radio without losing an ounce of edge, while becoming a staple in every subsequent Gay Pride celebration.

J.Lo Reinvents, Pitbull Dominates

Dropped by Epic, Jennifer Lopez landed at Island Def Jam and roared back with “On the Floor”—No. 1 in 30-plus countries. Follow-ups “I’m Into You” and “Papi” proved she wasn’t done. Even Epic tried to cash in on her newfound success, dusting off “Dance Again” from her vault, and yes, it’s still a gem.During the same stretch, Pitbull attached his Miami swagger to every chart contender. “Give Me Everything” with Ne-Yo defined 2011’s summer and turned Mr. 305 into Mr. Worldwide. Oversaturation risk? Sure. But Pitbull spun it into a multi-million-dollar empire.

Boy-Band Face-Off: The Wanted vs. One Direction

Scooter Braun-backed The Wanted cracked the U.S. with “Glad You Came,” snagging two Dance Club No. 1s and earning a rightful slot here for our overseas audience. Yet they soon found themselves outshone by One Direction. The newcomers’ bubble-gum hooks, polished by Electro-leaning remixes, sent them rocketing past their rivals—proof that teen-pop floor-fillers never go out of style.

Nicki Minaj Bridges Genres

Before every rapper flirted with EDM, Nicki Minaj jumped in headfirst. “Super Bass,” “Starships,” and “Pound the Alarm” blended day-glo synths with rapid-fire bars—catnip for DJs hunting fresh Electro House ammo. Minaj’s genre-hopping approach mirrored the Black Eyed Peas’ earlier success and showed hip-hop could thrive atop a four-on-the-floor backbone.

Big-Room Anthems & Indie Surprises

Fun.’s “We Are Young” tapped millennial angst and nostalgia, then Alvin Risk’s remix set emo hearts racing in every club line. Festival favorites like Avicii’s “Levels” and Porter Robinson’s “Language” gave progressive-house fans their own widescreen moments, rounding out a scene that felt limitless.

What’s Next for BackSpin

We’ve only scratched the surface. BackSpin Vol. 10 drops Sunday, with Vols. 11 and 12 landing in early to mid-September. After all, summer is still going strong so watch for Beach House 2025, Vol. 2 and Summer Heat 2025 Vol. 2 as August rolls toward Labor Day. More Electro House nostalgia, more dance hits, and more reasons to crank the volume are on deck.

Until the next time...ENJOY!

Party Favorz returns—surprisingly quick—with Volume 3 of the Summer Throwback Dance Party 2025. This last blast stretches the feel-good journey even further, stacking fresh and funky gems from the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, and early 2000s. Feeling extra nostalgic, we even tossed in a pair of ’60s sing-along classics every bar crowd has belted out at least once over the past five decades.

The result? A nonstop, pool-ready soundtrack built for cannonballs, cold drinks, and backyard barbeque. We’re worn out—but you know how Party Favorz rolls. There’s no time to lounge because the annual Beach Party set is already in the works. Expect a sun-kissed wave of Funky-Disco-House grooves designed to lift spirits and help everyone forget—if only briefly—how chaotic the country feels right now coming your way soon.

We’re not here to proselytize (well, not most of the time). We’re here to pour a little sonic sunshine into your long holiday weekend—and light up every corner of your next gathering.

Until the next time...ENJOY!

WHOA NELLY! Party Favorz has been working overtime to wrap up as much as possible before the July 4th holiday—and we're dropping Volume 2 of the Summer Throwback Dance Party 2025 a day earlier than expected.

This second set is packed with fan favorites, whether they were originally crafted for the dancefloor or not. Each track has been given a remix refresh, making them fit right into your summer celebration. Even better—this volume is loaded with all-new remixes, so there shouldn't be any repeats (but we won't swear on it).

I’ve got a full day ahead—heading into Atlanta for a doctor’s appointment, grabbing groceries, and picking up some new fish for our aquarium we had ordered—so I’m keeping this brief.

Don’t worry, Volume 3 is still on the way and should drop in the next few days, right before we shift gears into our regular summer fare. Until then, crank up the speakers and have a safe, happy 4th of July!

Until the next time...ENJOY!

It's that time again—just before the July 4th holiday—when Party Favorz serves up a sizzling summer throwback dance mix perfect for your backyard BBQ, pool party, or solo kitchen shuffle. And yes, we’re talking all-ages fun here.

If you’re new to this series, Summer Throwback Dance Party is where nostalgia meets the remix. These sets are loaded with classic Pop, Rock, Hip Hop, and Dance hits from the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, and early 2000s—songs everyone knows and loves—reimagined for today's dance floor. Some tracks mash two iconic hits into a new experience. Others stay faithful to the original but are given a modern boost. Either way, this is a throwback dance mix with universal appeal that keeps the energy high and the vibes carefree.

Old Favorites, New Twists

With each release, I aim to bring something fresh—whether through updated remixes or clever mashups—but it’s not always easy to keep track. Block & Crown, GhostMasters, Ghoustbusterz, The Soul Gang, FlashDancers, Disco Gurls... they’ve all been incredibly prolific. Aside from Block & Crown, most of these names are aliases for the same core group of ghost producers who recycle tracks, change titles, and rebrand under different monikers. One week it’s a “new” release. The next, it’s a rehash of something they dropped six months ago under another name.

I do my best not to repeat tracks from past volumes, but when the remix is good and the groove is timeless, I say let it ride. At the end of the day, a great jam is still a great jam—especially when you’re trying to get the party started.

Volume 1 Is Just the Beginning

Since last year’s Fall Throwback Dance Party, the flood of new retro-inspired tracks has been nonstop. There’s been so much quality output that I had enough material for three volumes this go-around. Because of time constraints, I’m rolling out Volume 1 today and plan to drop Volume 2 by Friday. Volume 3? That one’s coming next week.

No worries though—between this release and what’s coming later in the week, there’s more than enough fuel to keep your holiday playlist spinning. Mix in previous sets, and you've got hours of nonstop throwback party energy. By the time Volume 3 lands, it’ll feel like it was always part of the plan.

One Nation, Under a Groove

Whether you’re reliving your high school dance floor days or introducing the younger crowd to some real classics, there’s something for everyone here. From the ’60s (yes, I slipped a few gems in) through the 2000s, this throwback dance party is built to unite generations. These are the songs that made us move then—and still get us hyped now.

So go ahead—fire up the grill, crack open a cold one, and dance like nobody's watching. Whether it’s 1999 or any other golden year of your past, this Summer Throwback mix was made for moments like these.

Volume 2 is dropping Friday. Until the next time...ENJOY!

Just when you thought we’d emptied the vault of bangers from this era, BackSpin Volume 7 comes stomping in with another round of club anthems that defined the dancefloors of 2009 and 2010. This was not a chill period in dance music—it was a full-throttle takeover. These weren’t just tracks you heard in the club; they were the soundtracks to pre-games, afterparties, breakups, hookups, and everything in between.

By this point, Electro House had become the default language of clubland. It didn’t matter if the artist was an underground favorite or a Disney Channel graduate—everyone wanted in on the energy. And with remixers like Dave Audé, Mike Rizzo, Jody den Broeder, and Jump Smokers consistently delivering top-shelf work, the line between pop and club music completely vanished.

Remix Culture Was King

Let’s be real—some of these tracks hit harder in their remixed versions than the originals ever could. Usher’s “DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love” was already slick, but Jump Smokers cranked it up with a glammed-up club version that dominated summer playlists. Christina Aguilera’s “Not Myself Tonight” might’ve been polarizing on radio, but Jody den Broeder turned it into a pulsing floor-filler with an edge. Black Eyed Peas continued their chart domination with “Imma Be” and “Meet Me Halfway,” both of which got remixed within an inch of their lives—one dirty, one dreamy, and both undeniable.

And let’s talk about Lady Gaga, who basically lived on the dance charts during this period. You’ll find three of her biggest tracks here—“Bad Romance,” “Paparazzi,” and “Love Game”—all reworked by Dave Audé into high-energy triumphs that left no corner of the dancefloor untouched.

The Rise of Selena Gomez

One of the most fascinating shifts during this period was the arrival of Selena Gomez—best known at the time as a squeaky-clean Disney princess. But her early releases with The Scene were smart, polished pop that lent themselves surprisingly well to club remixes. “Round & Round” and “A Year Without Rain” became club favorites thanks to 7th Heaven and Dave Audé, respectively, who transformed them into soaring dance tracks without stripping away her youthful charm. Selena’s transition from Disney darling to legitimate pop artist began here, and the clubs were ready to embrace her.

Ke$ha’s Party Nation

Also bursting into the scene like a glitter bomb was Ke$ha, whose breakout hit “TiK ToK” became a global party anthem. Fred Falke’s remix gave it just enough disco-drenched sophistication while keeping its messy, rebellious spirit intact. Ke$ha’s arrival signaled a new wave of club pop—raucous, unfiltered, and entirely self-aware. She didn’t just want to party—she was the party.

European Imports & Global Crossovers

This volume also shines a light on the growing influence of European club culture on the American mainstream. Edward Maya’s “Stereo Love” with its infectious accordion hook brought Romanian house to global attention, while Alex Gaudino’s “I’m In Love (I Wanna Do It)” showcased the sleek, sexy appeal of Italian house with a Wideboys polish. And let’s not forget Dennis Ferrer’s “Hey Hey,” which proved that a deep house groove could still cut through in a sea of EDM bangers—especially when remixed by Vandalism.

David Guetta: Architect of the Era

Guetta’s fingerprints are all over this era, and nowhere is that more obvious than his work on “Sexy Bitch” with Akon and his remix of Black Eyed Peas’ “Boom Boom Pow.” His production wasn’t just influential—it defined the electro-pop aesthetic of the time. His music lived at the intersection of hip-hop swagger, pop accessibility, and EDM power, helping turn club music into a true pop force.

The Bold, the Brash, and the Unfiltered

This volume doesn’t shy away from explicit energy, either. Lily Allen and CeeLo Green both show up here in their no-holds-barred form, each delivering sarcastic kiss-offs in “Fuck You,” made even bolder in club-ready remixes by Rich Morel and the Stonemasons. Tracks like “Sexy People” by Lolene and Paradiso Girls’ “Who’s My Bitch” pushed the envelope in both sound and attitude—flirty, fierce, and far from family-friendly.

From Ibiza to Main Street

Whether it’s Swedish House Mafia’s jet-setting anthem “Miami 2 Ibiza” or Shakira’s wild “Loca” reimagined by the Freemasons, this era was all about movement—geographically, musically, and emotionally. These weren’t just club hits; they were cultural markers that signaled how far EDM had come from its underground roots. Everyone was invited to the party, and no genre was off-limits.

BackSpin Volume 7 isn’t just a continuation—it’s a celebration of how deeply dance music had woven itself into every aspect of pop culture by the end of the decade. These tracks weren’t just playing at the club; they were playing everywhere. From bedroom iPods to high school dances to festival stages, this was the sound of a generation finding its rhythm in uncertain times.

Volume 8 will be dropping next, rounding out this pivotal era with more certified club gold. Until then, crank it loud, lose yourself in the beat, and remember just how good the chaos sounded.

Until the next time…ENJOY!
