Party Favorz is back with Volume 2 of the definitive "Gay Anthems For A New Generation" collection, featuring classic gay and modern queer anthems reimagined for today's dance floors.

This set is packed with timeless gay anthems, including Denis Bravo's masterpiece rework of Whitney Houston's "I'll Always Love You," seamlessly blended with a snippet of the original Hex Hector remix. We've also included Ariana Grande's "Yes, And," based on the classic "Vogue" sample, alongside a modern Madonna rework by Leo Frappier (aka Division 4).

Chappell Roan's breakthrough hit "Pink Pony Club" gets a dancefloor-ready rework by Stephen Jusko & DJ Blacklow, followed by Ethel Cain's "Sun Bleached Flies" and a haunting fan-made mashup of her vocals with Robyn's "Dancing On My Own" instrumental.

Of course, no set would be complete without the original Robyn version of "Dancing On My Own," remixed by Luca Debonaire, Tony Ruiz, and Matt Consola. Adam Lambert and Sigala pay tribute to Sylvester with their rendition of "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)," while Lily Allen's "Fuck You" gets a rousing Dubstep remix.

These two volumes of "Gay Anthems For A New Generation 2024" are truly the best yet, celebrating the LGBTQ+ community's progress over the past 20 years.

In other news, we're still falling short of our monthly goals to keep the lights on. If you haven't already, please consider pitching in $5 a month to cover our operating expenses. Party Favorz won't be around forever, but we'd love to finish the year strong.

We'll be back next week with a massive two-volume Pride Edition for our circuit boys. Until then...ENJOY!

As the wave of Gay Pride celebrations swells across the globe, Party Favorz is set to keep the rainbow connection alive and kicking with the release of Volume 2 of the 2023 Gay Anthems For A New Generation series.

This sequel compilation is brimming with reimagined gay anthems by industry legends such as Donna Summer, ABBA, Kylie Minogue (who, incidentally, is riding high with a chart-topping hit as we speak), Adele, Pet Shop Boys, Ultra Nate, Robyn, Cher, Madonna, Whitney Houston, and countless more beloved divas.

The roster of tracks in this collection doesn't warrant a detailed introduction — each song and artist holds a distinctive place in the heart of the LGBTQ+ community and has contributed significantly to its vibrant culture.

With resources permitting, Party Favorz has ambitious plans in the pipeline — a Gay Pride circuit and anthems set slated for launch next week. Creating these music sets can often run up a bill north of $100. The challenge lies in the fact that the songs earmarked for these special circuit compilations are not readily available on the DJ service we rely on. Most of these need to be procured from alternate online platforms like Beatport or directly from the DJ's Bandcamp page (though several are free on Soundcloud). Nevertheless, we are committed to making it happen and will do our utmost to deliver a fresh set for our devoted circuit boys.

Remember to stay proud and keep the celebration going. Let the anthems of unity, love, and acceptance echo in every corner of the world. Until the next time...ENJOY!

The transition between "When Love Takes Over (David Michael vs. Almighty 2K20 Pride Remix)" by Kelly Rowland and "Vogue (Division 4 Extended Mix)" by Madonna has been corrected.

Party Favorz returns with our much-anticipated annual release: Gay Anthems For A New Generation 2023! This compilation celebrates iconic modern Gay Pride anthems and their importance to the LGBTQ+ community.

The 2023 selection revitalizes legendary anthems from the past half-century, presenting them in an updated format for today's dancefloors. We bring you the most emblematic, compelling songs that echo the universal messages of love, unity, resilience, and defiance within our community.

Kicking off this collection, we've selected the ever-resilient anthem, "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor. It's featured in an exquisite, previously unexplored version - Eric Kupper's House remix, offering a gentle start before escalating into high-energy beats.

The list also highlights Whitney Houston's timeless hit, "I Will Always Love You" in a Julian Marsh remix, and Diana Ross' empowering track "I'm Coming Out," remixed by Barry Harris. Each song carries significant meaning for our community, often becoming soundtracks to personal stories of love, acceptance, and identity.

Other standouts include Lizzo's "Everybody's Gay" and Miley Cyrus' "Flowers," showing the continual evolution of queer music. Toni Braxton's heart-wrenching "Un-Break My Heart" and CeCe Peniston's classic "Finally," both in revamped remixes, add to the rich tapestry of our anthems.

To ensure these powerful messages resonate with listeners, we've chosen remixes that retain the essence of each anthem while injecting a modern energy, making these tunes relatable to the current LGBTQ+ generation. The curation of these modern Gay Pride anthems of 2023 was a challenging task due to the abundance of choices, but we are confident we've selected the most impactful tracks that resonate globally.

Our goal was to craft a collection that honors the past while embracing the future, mirroring the continual progress within our community. So, turn up the volume, let the music inspire you, and remember: these songs aren't just anthems; they're a testament to our journey, resilience, and pride.

Stay tuned for the release of volume 2 of the 2023 Gay Anthems For A New Generation collection, filled with more modern Gay Pride anthems to soundtrack your celebrations. Enjoy and keep the pride alive!

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!

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 ...

Welcome, to the 2022 edition of Gay Anthems For A New Generation! We've delved deep into the realm of gay anthems, exploring what makes a song truly special to the LGBT+ community. Brace yourself as we embark on a journey through the generations, from GenX to GenZ, to uncover the essence of these empowering tunes.

You see, not every song cherished by our community was originally penned as a gay anthem. Yet, for various reasons, these songs have found a special place in our hearts. The core principles that define a gay anthem remain intact:

First, we have those powerhouse divas, whose big voices resonate with our spirits. Then, there are the heartfelt ballads that encapsulate the triumphs and struggles of love, inspiring us to persevere. In the spirit of carefree liberation, we celebrate songs that encourage us to throw our worries aside. And let's not forget the anthems that fuel our hard-won self-esteem and embrace our unabashed sexuality. We seek acceptance and find solace in the torch songs of the world-weary, all while believing that love conquers all and refusing to apologize for who we are.

Even songs that may seem trivial in subject matter can find their way onto our cherished list because they simply bring us joy. Additionally, we recognize the contributions of gay artists who create music that transcends boundaries and speaks to audiences of all orientations.

As we carefully curated this three-volume set, we made sure to include timeless classics that have resonated across multiple generations. We've also included a selection of recent favorites from the past 12 years, ensuring a well-rounded and unexpected musical experience.

While we celebrate the strides we've made toward equality, we must acknowledge that our work is far from over. There are challenges on the horizon, threatening to undermine the progress we've fought so hard for in the past two decades. Personally, this weighs heavily on my mind as my partner Rick and I contemplate whether we should continue residing in this country. Although I am physically disabled and limited in my ability to directly effect change, I am committed to documenting the unfolding realities. In the final volume of the Gay Anthems For A New Generation series, I will delve deeper into these concerns. But for now, let's set aside the Debbie Downer vibes and focus on celebrating.

So, regardless of your generation, I invite each and every one of you to crank up the volume, transport yourselves back to the magical kingdom of gay anthems reworked for today's generation , and revel in the electrifying beats of this first volume. Stay tuned for more exciting editions to come. Until then...

Welcome to the phenomenal finale of the Ultimate Gay Anthems & PRIDE Classics series. With this fifth volume, we complete our exploration of the most iconic gay anthems that have soundtracked the LGBTQ+ community's history and celebrations. The journey of curating and mixing this extensive series has been challenging and rewarding, with decisions on which songs to feature proving particularly painstaking.

However, any tunes you feel have been overlooked will likely find a place in the upcoming Ultimate Gay Anthems For A New Generation series. This compilation, planned for release next week, will showcase fresh remixes of our beloved gay anthems, tracing the evolution of these songs since the inception of the original series.

This current concluding volume reflects a unique musical epoch from the 90s through the first 15 years of the new millennium. It includes an array of updated classics from this era, along with some extraordinary gems from the 80s. Special acknowledgement goes to the DJs who have enriched our lives with their musical craftsmanship, skillfully reinterpreting artists' tracks to create new gay anthems.

Over the course of this five-set series, we have celebrated many of the most influential names in our Legacy series. This tribute recognizes the contributions of both living and departed members of this esteemed community. Renowned DJs such as Hex Hector, Junior Vasquez, Ralphi Rosario, Tony Moran, Freemasons, Almighty, 7th Heaven, DJ Barry Harris, Thunderpuss, Victor Calderone, Toy Armada & DJ Grind, Wayne G, and Jonathan Peters are at the heart of the gay anthems presented here. Their transformative music has given us immeasurable joy, for which we are eternally grateful.

While the Ultimate Gay Anthems & PRIDE Classics series is comprehensive and extensive, it does not discount or ignore other artists, DJs, and allies in the LGBTQ+ community. The worthiness of all contributors to this rich tapestry of music is acknowledged, and any unintentional omissions are deeply regretted.

Stay tuned for more exceptional gay anthems next week. Until then... ENJOY!

Party Favorz is back with volume 4 of the Ultimate Gay Anthems & Pride Classics and the end result is nothing short of perfection, particularly appealing to GenX and early Millennials. In this volume, I decided to focus on a big room circuit without going overboard, making it a bit easier to curate. You'll find plenty of gay anthems and high-quality classic gay pride cuts that are sure to delight.

As I mentioned before, this series is the closest thing you'll get to the best of the Diva Hall of Fame, which many people have requested from me. What's truly great about it is that I've included all those leading ladies whom I never got around to inducting or felt unsure about including. Artists like Jeanie Tracy, Kimberly Davis, Anastacia, Suzanne Palmer (who truly deserves recognition), Paula Cole, Shania Twain, Heather Small (of M People), Judy Cheeks, Alison Limerick, Lara Fabian, Nelly Furtado, Debby Holiday, Amber, Goldfrapp, Sarah Atereth, Deborah Cooper, Beth Sacks, Pepper MaShay, Andra Day, Latanza Waters, CeCe Peniston, Sabrina Johnston, Shawn Christoper, Soraya Vivian (Degrees of Motion), Thelma Houston, and many more have touched our little gay hearts at different moments in our drama-filled lives. It's truly a shame that I can't personally acknowledge each and every one of them.

Consider this series as their honorary induction and a heartfelt acknowledgment of what they've meant to so many of us. We extend our deepest gratitude from the bottom of our little queer hearts.

We have one more set to go, which will feature the remaining Hi NRG and house music tracks, before we dive into the annual Gay Anthems For A New Generation. This way, we can wrap up our 2022 Gay Pride offerings before the festivities kick off. Until next time...ENJOY!

I'm excited to announce that The Ultimate Gay Anthems & PRIDE Classics Volume 3 is finally ready for its mass release. Just like its predecessors, this volume continues the tradition of delivering a fantastic blend of Hi NRG and Big Room classics.

To my surprise, I ended up compiling more tracks than I initially anticipated, which means this four-set series will now expand to five sets. Not to worry though, as I've already got volume 4 almost finalized. I just need to make a few last-minute changes to the track versions before dropping it tomorrow, speeding up the release process.

My goal is to have the final volume, as well as the highly anticipated two-volume set of The Ultimate Gay Anthems For A New Generation, out by the end of this month. This way, we can smoothly transition to regularly scheduled programming.

Speaking of which, it's still uncertain whether there will be an official 2022 Gay Pride set. For now, let's keep that as an open question mark.

In other news, you can now follow Party Favorz on Apple Podcasts. It's a convenient way to access the show as well as follow your favorite categories including Gay Anthems independent of the entire podcast.

I'll be back tomorrow with more updates. Until then... ENJOY!
