  • Club Taylor Volume II | The Diva Series


    There's not much Party Favorz can contribute to the Taylor Swift canon other than she's one the world's greatest all-time songwriters and the voice of the millennial generation that's sold over 200 million records worldwide. Frankly, this achievement doesn't even begin to define her contributions to the music industry and the power and stature she's built allowing her to call the shots in an industry dominated by men.

    While there are several inductees into our Diva Hall of Fame that have the same gifts and business instincts like Beyoncé, Rihanna, Selena Gomez, and Madonna to name a few — none have accelerated so far, so fast as this very young prodigy who moved to Nashville at age 14 to start her career.

    She is also one of the rare artists that have successfully bridged the gap between the CD era and streaming while maintaining her ability to top the Billboard charts with their new convoluted ranking system. Considering how flawed their methodology is and how easily it's manipulated — that's no easy feat.

    Much like the women mentioned above, Taylor Swift has built a massive and loyal gay following. That's no surprise because gay men have always gravitated toward strong women.  Write songs about loss, love, and heartache and we're right there with you.

    For the uninitiated, the Diva Hall of Fame consists of women that have made generally (not always) massive contributions to the place we gay men live — the dance floor. Over the years, there have been official remixes for several of Taylor's biggest hits but it was only recently that she began stepping up her remix credentials upon re-recording her back catalog from Big Machine records after losing the master rights to her former manager.

    Volume I of this induction focuses heavily on these releases along with some previous official remixes that were aimed at her gay fans. The second volume consists of some official remixes but also many stellar bootleg remixes showcasing how well her music translates into other genres like Dubstep, EDM, Trap, Future House, House, and NuDisco. It's like her songs were built to be festival anthems even if not intended.

    It's with great pleasure that Party Favorz recognizes the talent and artistry of the fabulous Taylor Swift and finally inducts her into the Diva Hall of Fame. I realize it was long overdue but the wait was worth it. ENJOY!

  • Thank God It’s Disco Vol. 8 — Remixed & Reimagined
    We have reached the end of the Thank God It's Disco series and volume 8 packs a lot into this 4-hour set. While there is a bounty of familiar freshness here — there are equally some golden treasures here.

    "She Can't Love" by Chemise is an underground gem that was originally released in 1982. If the riff sounds familiar, it's because it has been sampled a multitude of times. Here, Purple Disco Machine dusts off the original masters and re-works it in his own disco-funk signature style, while retaining all the elements of the original that make it special.

    Another lesser-known track is "New York Moving" by Ahzz, which had an official remix by I-Robots but that version was an edit of the instrumental version with some minor male vocals. Even then, the vocals lasted maybe 30 seconds in total. If you weren't familiar with the song (which most aren't) you wouldn't what you were listening to. DJ Disco Cat recently dropped some edits that included the vocal version of the song but I couldn't recognize where he did anything with it other than improving the sound quality. So, I took that version and punched it up a bit, and then flipped it using the mix out in the middle as the intro that leads into the song. Oddly, it's the way the instrumental version builds and I'm uncertain as to why there was such a difference in the structure for the vocal and non-vocal versions. Maybe the instrumental was a demo before the vocals were added. I can't say for certain.

    Then there is "D.I.S.C.O." by the French band Ottawan. The song was written by Daniel Vangarde and Jean Kluger. Though the song was originally recorded in French in 1979, an English version was released in 1980 where it found greater success and went to #2 in the U.K. Since then, the song has been sampled a multitude of times and even covered by N-Trance and The Young Professionals. Interestingly, Daniel Vangarde's wife was Sheila of Sheila B. Devotion who worked extensively with Nile Rogers and Bernard Edwards. Her biggest hit "Spacer" was featured on volume 7 of this series. Vangarde also wrote the Disco hit "Cuba" by the Gibson Brothers (also featured on volume 7). Even more interesting is Vangarde is the father of Thomas Bangalter who is one-half of the French house duo Daft Punk.



    The release of volume 8 for the TGID series coincides with the death of Irene Cara who rose to fame in the early 1980s with the theme songs to "Fame" the movie in which she starred, "Out Here On My Own" also from the same soundtrack and the massive "Flashdance...What A Feeling" produced by Giorgio Moroder for the film by the same title. Ms. Cara died of unknown causes in her home at age 63. Party Favorz would like to dedicate this final volume to this phenomonal singer and actress. May she rest in peace. Irene Cara Escalera (March 18, 1959 – November 25, 2022)



    Party Favorz has a brand-spanking-new entry into the Diva Hall of Fame scheduled to drop next week. This artists induction is long overdue but with a bevy of her back catalog recently remixed by Dirty Disco and the release of a new #1 album and song — I decided it was time to pay her proper respect.

    Until the next time...ENJOY!

  • Thank God It’s Disco Vol. 7 — Remixed & Reimagined
    It's been a hot minute since volume 6 of Thank God It's Disco was released. Party Favorz has been compiling new updated Disco classics for a year now and we've got not one release scheduled but two.

    For the newly initiated, the Thank God It's Disco series is a compilation of Disco classics from the 70s and 80s that have been remixed, reimagined, or simply updated to today's standards with slight embellishments while staying true to the original song. It's not uncommon for the use of the same song reworked by a different DJ/producer to appear across this series because it's a different point of view. Though, there are a few instances of duplicates by the same artist, which is not intentional. Sometimes, songs get re-released and show up in my DJ Pool without my realizing I had already used it previously but there aren't that many.

    This first volume is crammed with a lot of buried classics that many of you diehard disco fans may have never heard before. However, in many cases, the beat was sampled and used in a different song from the 90s or even today. While I'm fairly well-versed in this arena — I do occasionally get surprised when I hear one of these re-works was sampled in a more recent song that I thought was original. A good example of that is "She Can't Love You" by Chemise which shows up in volume 8 of this series. The song is an underground house classic from the early 80s that I had never heard before until Sean Biddle's "Get Up and Dance" sampled it in the early millennium. Here, Purple Disco Machine updates the original making it shine basking in its 80s synth glory. There is a multitude of these examples that are a hit upside the head. You know these DJs have been seriously digging through the crates to come up with these gems. Either that or they were club kids during the era while I was in high school.

    The age of the original songs shouldn't prevent anyone from enjoying these songs because many make up the framework of today's hits (look no further than Beyonce's "Renaissance". Besides, all these songs have been updated and maximized for today's listening environments.

    Without further ado, get your D-I-S-C-O on and ENJOY!

  • The Chill Out Sessions — As One
    We kicked off 2022 with A Feeling — Winter Chillout 2022 with the intention of releasing two more sets this year. Sadly, the massive collections that were released this year were time-consuming and Party Favorz never got around to releasing a second set.

    During that time — I was siphoning off songs that would be included in the next set steadily filling up over the course of the year. When it was finally time to sit down and create the new set, I went and picked up several more songs that were brand new or I had missed.

    Even though a multitude of songs got thrown out during the mixing process (for whatever reason) — A Feeling is one massive chill volume clocking in over 5 hours of pure bliss. Many styles and genres are included here, but they all serve a single purpose and work together in complete harmony.

    Frankly, this set came about at just the right time as I've been dealing with the headaches of trying to switch pharmacies for the past 30 days which has left me with 3 days left on my medications and nothing to show for my efforts. The amount of ineptitude I've encountered with a variety of big-name retailers is staggering. Sadly, all these pharmacies use Tech Consultants who aren't pharmacists to fill their prescriptions — most of which don't know their heads from their asses.  You don't allow a customer to sign up for your service and then at the last moment tell them you can't fill two life-saving prescriptions and then just put everything on hold. I won't bore y'all with further details but I will say that I'm at the end of my rope. In the immortal words of Kanye — "I'm ready to go Defcon 3 on these people." No offense to our Jewish friends here because after all — we're talking about pharmaceutical techs who aren't a protected class.

    Enter A Feeling from stage left, which has been my nerve-steadying background music as I try to navigate the rough waters of idiots with a 2-year degree. If this is your profession — just know that I did speak with some very knowledgeable people so I don't want to disparage an entire group because there are always fine folk within every profession. Sadly, you can never speak with them again when things go south.

    Regardless, my problems aren't your problems but this set may very well help you cope with yours. If anything, use it to relax after a very stressful day or in my case, a month.

    Until the next time...ENJOY!

  • Millennial Dance Classics [1999 – 2002] Vol. 2
    Happy Saturday! Party Favorz is delivering volume 2 of the Millennial Dance Classics series containing many of the biggest dance songs from 1999 - 2002.

    As discussed in our first post for volume 1 — There are many familiar songs for those vested in today's club scene. "9PM (Til I Come)" by ATB, "Better Off Alone" by Alice Deejay, and "Around the World (La La La La La" by ATC have been the basis for several monster hits in the past couple of years. The massive "Blue (I'm Good)" by David Guetta & Bebe Rexha lifts directly from "Blue (Da Be Dee)" by Eiffel 65 or as we used to call it "Blue (I'm in Need of a Guy)" is also featured in this set.

    "Pasilda" by Afro Medusa has been reworked a million times since its release as has "September" by Earth, Wind & Fire. Of course, the Phats & Small 1999 remix kicked it all off and is also included.

    Some of my all-time favorite songs are also included like "Touch Me" by Rui Da Silva (which was just recently reworked), "Addicted To Bass" by Puretone, and "Big Love" by Pete Heller.

    Truth be told, I love everything in this set. Even the quirky "Love Story" by Layo & Bushwacka! featuring a vocal sample by the great Nina Simone is a massive winner. There's a lot of diversity including House, Trance, and Progressive House to keep things interesting.

    There were many DJ names you will see throughout these two series. Other than the big room names I dropped last month, Knee Deep, Robbie Rivera, Roger Sanchez, and Illicit (to name a few) were all in high demand during this period. Robbie is still cranking out massive tracks to this day and all were masters at their craft.

    I hope everyone's enjoying the cooler days after the excessive heat we endured the last several months. Even so, things will be heating up again with the release of our annual HW series next week, which I've already begun work on. Until then...ENJOY!

  • Millennial Dance Classics [1999 – 2002] Vol. 1
    Party Favorz is back with one of our bucket list items that move us from the Ultimate 90s House Classics into the millennium. I took a different approach to this series, which immediately becomes obvious with the title.

    First, I started with 1999 because it is possibly one of the best years in dance music history. Many of today's biggest hits have reworked samples that have been turned into massive anthems for a new generation of partygoers. Everything from the late Paul Johnson's "Get Get Down," "Lady (Hear Me Tonight) by Modjo," "9 PM (Til I Come)" by ATB to "Around the World (La La La La La) by ATC and "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" by Eifel 65 have been plucked from the dance music annals breathing new life into the originals. Heck, even our lady Bey's smash album "Renaissance" is packed with samples from bygone eras.

    The other thing you'll notice is that this first set spans 4 years. The millennium was a great time for the evolution of dance music from Progressive House which began in the mid-90s and exploded by the end of the decade, to Trance, Techno, Hard Dance, French House, Filtered House, Funky House, Electro House and music that combined elements of all these genres. Of course, the advancement of technology had a lot to do with the abundance of offerings but it was human ingenuity that pushed the boundaries of what House Music could be.

    Needless to say, it's difficult to focus on just the hits because there were so many memorable underground hits as well depending on where you lived and the bars you frequented. If you're looking for the big room progressive sounds by Hex Hector, Victor Calderone, Peter Rauhofer, Thunderpuss, Junior Vasquez, or Jonathan Peters — you're better off revisiting our Top Dance Songs of the Year series, which starts in 1996 but it's 1999 and beyond you're after. Frankly, 1999 needs to be expanded but I haven't gotten around to it. Equally, five out of the six DJs mentioned have their own Legacy series linked in this article. Depending on what decisions are made with the future of Party Favorz next year — I may go back and do a series with just the big room progressive house anthems featuring these DJs and others. That could be a lot of fun. However, for this series — they were not included.

    I wasn't sure how this would turn out but this and the upcoming volume 2 have been on repeat in my car for several weeks now as I worked out the final track selections and I'm pleasantly surprised. There is a good deal of House Music styles here with some more Progressive House as it got redefined along with some long-lost gems that even I had completely forgotten about. These sets are long but what's nice is that you'll be surprised with each turn within the set.

    For the House purest, I had long ago created the purer Millennial House Music Classics series. I'll likely wrap up this series with two sets of 2003 - 2006 and 2007 - 2010 sometime in January.

    For now, I invite everyone to take a journey with me to a not-so-distant past. It may make you feel old but honestly, if this is your scene — you were part of the cool kids. For our young listeners and aspiring DJs — there's a lot of inspiration contained within the...

  • FALL EDITION 2022 | The Biggest Circuit Anthems of the Season!
    The ATL has finally started to cool down while Party Favorz keeps heating up with our annual Fall Edition! I decided not to make everyone wait another week for this drop because I was able to get a couple of major things out of the way earlier in the week.

    A lot is going on in this set that features something for everyone. Of course, we've got all the latest circuit hits and pop hits remixed for the circuit, but I'm starting to pull in some mashups for this series and a couple of unexpected 80s throwbacks threw me off track but were so good they had to be included. The Journey x Edson Pride remix of Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) is monumental.

    We closed out the set with another one of Joel Dickinson's (a.k.a. Thee Werqn B!tches) deliciously devilish mashups featuring the unlikely casting of Lizzo, 4 Non Blondes, and Barbra Streisand mixed into a delightful confection of hi-energy glitterama.

    Jace M & Toy Armada have graced us with an uplifting tribute mix of Everyday by Kim English. This version is their signature style, which suits the track and its positive message.



    With the recent passing of Olivia Newton-John, I thought it was fitting to pay tribute to this gay icon. The woman has a treasure trove of music with five #1 hits, a multitude of Top 10 hits, two #1 albums, and she's a 4-time Grammy winner who has sold over 100 million albums worldwide.

    Many people aren't aware that her career (much like Taylor Swift) started in country music, then country pop before moving to pop music. Most of you do know that she starred opposite John Travolta in Grease, whose soundtrack is one of the world's biggest-selling albums.

    Newton-John battled breast cancer three times and was an advocate for breast cancer research as well as environmental and animal rights. As a gay icon and ally to our community, she appeared in the 1996 drama It's My Party — a movie about AIDS and dying with dignity.

    I noticed that there weren't any remixes for Miss Newton-John other than Physical (thank you Leo Blanco) so I dug out the Victor Calderone remix of Hopelessly Devoted To You from the Grease soundtrack, which — despite its age — fits perfectly into this set. Barry Harris had recently reworked Xanadu but I thought that wouldn't quite fit in and only a few of my followers would get it.

    I just wanted to pay my respects and give love to this woman who was a big part of my life.



    Now, I'm officially taking this next week off and will be back the following week with one of my bucket list series. Until then...ENJOY!

    As promised, Party Favorz is delivering a double-header this weekend with the release of Keep On Dancing. This one's for all the rump shakers and those with a more sophisticated palette when it comes to getting their groove on.

    There's a lot to unpack in this one-off set completed in a single sitting. The music pulls from the latest NuDisco, House Music, Soulful, Jackin House, and Deep House tracks to not only keep it flowing but diverse.

    I hope everyone is enjoying at least a little taste of fall. It's kind of a mixed bag in the ATL but it's not terrible. Have a fabulous weekend and I promise to be back in a couple of weeks for the next installment of the Fall Edition featuring the latest big room sounds from the circuit. Until then...ENJOY!

  • Turn Out the Lights — Peak Hour Dance Mix
    It's time for the Saturday drop for our late-night dwellers. Turn Out the Lights is a heart-pounding set dripping in sweat that features some of the biggest bangers in Tech House, Bass House, Breaks, and Techno. It's like an electronic dance music lover's wet dream.

    I'm going to have a lot on my plate this coming two weeks and frankly — I need to focus my efforts on personal items that I've been putting off for months now. The good news is that the next Disco House set is in the can and I decided to make this a double-header weekend. Meaning, that set will drop tomorrow just in case Peak Hour is not your cup of tea.

    I'll be back in two weeks with the annual Fall Edition for all the circuit boys. Until then...ENJOY!
