Party Favorz started right at the time the presidential elections began to heat up as Democrats narrowed their choices down to Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards in 2007. Three elections and two presidents later, we're still here right after the impeachment of (not my president) Trump.

During this period, Party Favorz has been part of the revolution in technology like gigabit internet, the iPhone, file sharing to music streaming services. We've also witnessed the evolving trends in dance club music later coined EDM (Electronic Dance Music), which frankly — most of it has been since the 90s but has its roots in the 70s (Donna Summer "I Feel Love").

DISCO IS BACK

We're literally on the precipice of coming full circle and as predicted, Classic Disco is making a comeback in a big way. While Future House, Electro House, Reggaeton, Moonbatan, and Trap have been the mainstays over the past several years and often merged into one another — the eventual return of Disco was inevitable. Indeed, it never went away but was buried in the underground scene and relegated to a select group of tastes that considered themselves connoisseurs of the genre and eventually slapped it with a new label "Nu Disco." Call it what you want, but it's still Disco.

HOW WE DECIDED WHAT SONGS TO INCLUDE

For the uninitiated, the Top Dance Songs of the Year series is a compilation of the top Dance Club tracks of the year. In deciding what makes the cut, Party Favorz pulls from Billboard's Year-End charts in Dance Club Songs, Hot Dance Electronic Songs, Hot 100 Songs, and I pull several of my personal favorites from the year that deserve to be included.

Billboard allots points to songs based on the number of weeks they remain on their charts. Typically, it's one point a week, bonus points for entering the Top 10, and then they're assigned higher point values for each position they hold in the Top 10. It's entirely possible that a song that never even hits the top of any of their charts still ranks high for the year due to longevity on the charts.

Much like the Academy Awards, there's a cut-off date at the end of November of each year. Because Party Favorz understands people's memories align with when a song is getting heavy rotation in clubs or dance radio, we also pull from the charts leading up to the last week before Christmas. For instance, Tiesto & Mabel's "God Is a Dancer" just hit the top spot today and is included. As a result, you'll likely notice the same songs hit our year-end retrospectives two years in a row. Ariana Grande's "Thank U, Next" was so massively popular that it generated ongoing club and radio play through the first half of 2019 despite peaking in 2018.

Other tracks that are included are massive songs on the Hot 100 that may or may not even chart on the Dance Club chart but are so popular — they generate a plethora of authorized and bootleg remixes. It would be blasphemous to leave these tracks out because of the demand for them on dance floors and the overall impact they have on popular culture. If we're going to paint a complete picture, their inclusion is mandatory.

DANCE CLUB ARTISTS OF THE YEAR

Speaking of Ariana Grande, she was the top Dance Club artist of the year. The top 10 Dance Club artists are featured as ...

Whether he went by his official name Prince Rogers Nelson, The Artist Formerly Known as Prince, a symbol that represents both the male and female genders or,  just The Artist — we all know the man by Prince.

Prince was an American singer, songwriter, musician, record producer, dancer, actor, and filmmaker. He was a prolific writer and recorded so many songs that his fight with Warner Brothers lead them to put the breaks on his releases for fear of oversaturation.  He often gave songs away for free under different pseudonyms like "Manic Monday" by the Bangles (Christoper), "Sugar Walls" by Sheena Easton (Alexander Nevermind), "Jungle Love" and "The Bird" by the Time (The Starr ★ Company). Also, his music was covered by other artists — most notably "I Feel For U" by Chaka Khan, "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Sinead O'Connor and even the John Cougar Mellencamp produced "When You Were Mine" by Mitch Ryder among many others.

Prince also produced several acts like the Time (mentioned above), Sheila E (Glamourous Life), and Vanity 6 (Nasty Girl) as well as a host of others.

Ultimately, Prince was one of a dozen artists that provided the soundtrack to the eighties. With musical styles that ranged from Funk, Rock, New Wave, Soul, Psychedelia, and pop, he was considered the quintessential artist in that he drew his inspiration from people like David Bowie, James Brown, Sly & the Family Stone, Jimi Hendrix, George Clinton, Miles Davis among many others and it showed in his music and performances.

In 1985, I was living in Austin, TX, and working as a copy clerk for the Austin American Statesman and part-time for Hastings Records in the mall. We frequently received free tickets to concerts and Bruce Springsteen and Prince were playing weeks apart from each other. I was a fan of both artists but there were only so many tickets to go around so I opted for the Prince tickets. These were for his Purple Rain tour and my best friend Dan and I went to the concert where he put on a 2-hour funk and rock extravaganza as we had never seen. His performance was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and has stuck with me as one of the most memorable I had ever attended.

There is just way too much to cover about this man and his genius that hasn't already been written. The contributions that Prince has made to music, his guitar skills, his songwriting his production, and his everything make him one of the most admired if not influential artists of all time. While most of the tracks in this set stay fairly close to the originals — they are presented in their long form and re-edited for easy DJ mixing along with some notable modern-day remixes by Kue who did an outstanding job modernizing "Controversy" and "Purple Rain" for the dance floor.

It is with much love and admiration for the man known as Prince that Party Favorz finally pays him his due respect with this tribute. RIP my friend.

I ended up powering through my birthday yesterday to get volume 4 of the Essential 80's Dance Mix complete and then went back this morning to re-edit lengthy tracks and check for irregularities so as not to have to issue an update at a later day — fingers crossed.

This set is fairly straightforward as it focuses heavily on the commercial dance music arena and then veers into popular alternative dance tracks before settling back into commercial dance territory. It's fairly easy to digest and save for a couple of tracks that should be instantly recognizable for most.

I had previously mentioned that I've got a lot of new Legacy entries I plan on releasing with some being easier than others to create. I plan on dropping some of those later this week depending on what I can get done to get everything out by the end of November along with the rest of this series.

Until the next time...ENJOY!

I know I promised I wouldn't update this set but five songs had fidelity issues, so  I went back and brought them in line with the rest of the tracks surrounding them. I may have missed an edit because this set is now 42 seconds longer than the original.

Party Favorz is back with the Essential 80's Dance Mix Volume 3, which focuses on Funk, R&B Dance, and the earliest days of Rap before it exploded in the 90s. You may want to call it the Urban mix but it does have one alternative dance mix in it and several of the tracks were massive pop hits as well.

This set took two fucking weeks to complete as I rotated out tracks trying to get the right feel. There were some tricky edits and the mashup between White Lines and Rock It was nothing short of genius IMHO.

 

I had the opportunity to preview most of the set prior to posting and finished last night only to discover some areas of improvement like editing down a couple of tracks and smoothing out some rough transitions. If you're a Party Favorz aficionado, please download the current and final version.

 

I have finished downloading the tracks for the next few current releases and there's a lot to go through, which I'll do tomorrow when I tag and move the songs off to their official folders for mixing.

 

I've picked up a new pricey DJ service but it appears to be worth it and I am still using the one for mashups and bootlegs that I started back on in the summer. Billboard has started blocking their charts, which caught me off guard, and that cost another $136 + $50 for the new DJ service. I hope this is all worth it because I'm tapped.

 

I have a birthday coming up in November so if anyone wants to lend a helping hand - I have my donation link still on the site using PayPal (if you have an account) or personal credit/debit card if you don't locate it here: http://partyfavorz.com/donate/

 

I'll finish out this 80's series in November along with several new Legacy entries before we jump into the official holiday season. Until then...ENJOY!

This set has been updated starting with "White Horse" through the end. Approximately 2 minutes have been edited out and some rough edges have been smoothed over.

After much hair-tearing, sleep deprivation, and overall frustration — Party Favorz is finally back with volume 2 of The Essential 80s Dance Mix. I only say this because I was trying to pick up a great variety of the biggest dance hits of the era but it's not as simple as it sounds.

I had mentioned in my previous post how musical styles tend to spill over into the following decade before the actual defining sounds appear by the fourth year going forward — I had forgotten about the Hi NRG boom of the early part of the decade. This sound adapted the synthesized nature of music that had been previously dabbled with by the likes of Giorgio Moroder, Cerrone, and even Peter Brown.  By 1980, it hit its stride with the remix of Patrick Cowley's 1980 remix of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love." Patrick went on to lead the genre with multiple club hits like "Menergy," "Megatron Man," and the era-defining sound of the gay movement "Do You Wanna Funk" by Sylvester (which is included in the Trash Disco Series).

Tracks like Paul Parker's "Right On Target," Evelyn Thomas' "High Energy" (which was the basis for Frankie Goes To Hollywood's "Relax"), Miquel Brown's "So Many Men, So Little Time" and a multitude of others. The problem I have with these tracks is not that they didn't define a movement throughout the decade but that the production values wore poor if not downright cheesy and didn't really quite fit in with the music that defined the era. Most of them were independent labels that didn't have the budget for quality productions. Almighty Records has done a remarkable job of updating many of these tracks, which have been featured in the Hi NRG series.

Regardless, I may go back and whip up a single set of the original versions of the biggest tracks from this era. They not only defined the gay community but provided the soundtrack to the era that spawned AIDS, which devastated our community. These songs represent a soundtrack to a certain place and time that deserves to be honored in its own right. If anything, Patrick Cowley deserves to be honored for the movement he helped create as he was one of the earliest victims to die from AIDS in 1982 before it even had a name. Sylvester died from the disease in 1988.

As for this second set of 80's dance music classics, I think I finally hit my stride while still mostly keeping to my original mission of mixing up the commercial alternative and pop-hit dance tracks. It may be odd to hear Michael Jackson right next to When In Rome but it works.

Many of these tracks have been remastered by yours truly from their vinyl counterparts. As such, you may hear some clicks throughout but that only lends to its authenticity.

There are a couple of things I do want to point out. Madonna's "Into The Groove" was shortened because there's an entire section that's a repeat but Hot Tracks thought it wise to overlap different sections of the song, which I found jarring. I just took it out altogether shortening the mix, which keeps everything still intact. Also, Whitney Houston's "Love Will Save The Day" had a...

Party Favorz is finally back with our final entry into the 80's Dance series. The Essential 80's Dance Mix culminates the biggest tracks from the alternative dance sets Pure Energy, Pump Up the Volume, Hit That Perfect Beat!   and the Back 2 the 80's two-volume set I put out last year.  I also included massive #1 club hits that may or may not be familiar to you since these weren't radio hits and delved into the first half of the decade that was woefully underrepresented in previous volumes.

What I've noticed is that each decade starts off with overlap from the previous decade before hitting its stride in the genre(s) that go on to define the decade somewhere in the 4th and 5th years.  In the case of the 80s, disco was still the driving force on the dancefloor for the first few years. Though, the elements of the synthesizer and beat machines all began to coalesce during the first part of the decade — it really hit its stride by the second half. You'll find tracks like "Forget Me Nots" by Patrice Rushen, "Do You Wanna Funk" by Sylvester, "Funkytown" by Lipps, inc., Kool & The Gang, Evelyn King amongst others in the Trash Disco series where they rightfully belong.

During the mid-80s, house music began its start in the underground venues of Chicago and NY before moving mainstream by 1989 with the #1 club and pop radio hit "Back To Life" by Soul II Soul. It went on to dominate the 1990s and spawned a variety of sub-genres some of which proved to be extremely popular like Eurodance, which is due for its own essential series at some point.

Because of the massive undertaking of this series — you may find some of the transitions to be awkward as I swing back and forth between styles. That's unavoidable.  For the most part — I'm pleased with the overall progress and variety of styles that these sets portray in painting a broader picture of the decade that was. If you were of age and hitting the clubs at the time — I think you'll agree. If not — stick to the original Back 2 the 80's series I put out last year.

For now — sit back and relax to these fantastic gems from our dance music history. Until the next time...ENJOY!

Party Favorz has been working up to the last minute this morning putting the final touches on what is going to be one of the most epic collections of Madonna bootlegs ever assembled into a non-stop party mix of fan favorites reworked for today's dancefloors.

The Immaculate Bootleg Collection closely mimics the original greatest hits put out by the Queen of Pop and contains modern-day reworks of her biggest hits and more. The main focus of volume 1 is from the beginning of her career with "Physical Attraction" through "Rescue Me" — the final single from her eponymous collection of hits.

I'm shocked at how well these tracks have stood the test of time and the amount of talent that went into the updated versions. Marco Sartori (who you will see a lot of in these three volumes), Luca Debonaire, and Maxim Andreev take the top prize for their re-interpretations.

Granted, some of the songs were more difficult to update as in the case of "Material Girl." Here, we find Lukesavant on track for an excellent update but his release feels more like an unfinished demo. It's almost like he gave up and decided to put it out and then move on. Not trying to be critical because it's a difficult track to modernize but he really was on to something and frankly had the best version I had heard.

On that same note, Jetpack recently reworked "Like A Virgin" keeping the same bouncy pop feel of the original while adopting a happier shiny house version to accompany it making this a winner.

Still yet, "Open Your Heart" only had a couple of entries that missed the mark completely leaving me with no option but to go with the Ultimix version, which I edited down from the typical 80s-style production to keep it succinct.  Junior Vasquez still takes the prize for his house take on "Crazy For You," which has a happy-house vibe running through it and still holds up to this day.

Another surprise rework was "Live To Tell" by Luca Debonaire who takes the original slow-tempo number and updates it with an infectious Deep House groove that fits perfectly.

I really like Maxim Andreev's rework of "Like A Prayer" even though it feels more like a dub using minimal vocals at the beginning. Not sure why he decided to go this route but its hands down the best of the multitude of versions of this track with Marco Satori coming in a close second.

Leo Frappier a.k.a. Division 4 recently dropped his take on the track but only released the radio edit version that has a fade. The track is really good but overcompressed and a bit pitchy. I managed to tone it down and added a little bass and then mashed it up with Maxim's version which worked wonderfully. After I eq-ed the D4 version, I slowed the tempo down to 120 BPM to match Maxim's and spliced it together which was flawlessly executed. However, I decided not to use it because Leo may not be ready to release it into the world just yet out of respect for him.

Overall, I think Madonna fans are going to be very pleased with the final result as much as I am.

Originally, I said there would be four volumes but it looks like 3 will suffice. From the beginning to where she is currently at, each set will cover a very specific time in her career. This project is a massive undertaking as I have to pour through hundreds of different variations of each song to find the best versions that will mix well together. I hope that I've achieved that and am looking forward to remixing the 2nd phase of the Queen's career today. Those songs have already been compiled and it's just a matter of finding the best ones to include.

I missed my deadline for releasing volume 3 of Madonna's Immaculate Bootleg Collection — all I'll say is that good things come to those who wait.

Over the past 10 years — Madonna has had a hard time breaking the Top 10 in most countries. Not since the massive "Hung Up" and "4 Minutes" with Justin Timberlake has she had a Top 10 hit.

I find this confounding and frankly think it has more to do with ageism than anything else. I'm sitting here listening to a lot of the singles released and many that are fan favorites and find myself scratching my head. Why? Because many of these tracks are well-crafted pop songs that didn't get near the attention they should have.

Of those, "Heartbreak City," "Nothing Fails," "Ghosttown," "Masterpiece," "Miles Away," "Devil Pray" and, the recent "Crave" are outstanding milestones in her career. I'll wager that if "Crave" were handed off to Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber, or Charlie Puth, Sam Smith, or Shawn Mendez and released today, it would be a massive hit. The writing, the hook, and the pop-sensibilities are all there. Maybe she should start sending these songs out for consideration by modern-day artists and collect royalties that way. She's got the catalog and writing skills to do it.

So if it's in fact ageism that's preventing her from having another massive hit — I'd like to make a suggestion. Go back to your roots. Nothing is hotter at the moment than 80s dance, 70s disco, and 90s house in the pop landscape. Taking it back to her roots with less than serious writing but fun hooky tracks could very well deliver her own over 60 "Believe" much like Cher did back in 1999. That music is where she came from and there is no reason to follow the worn-out reggaeton trend as she did with "Medellin." Though, I'll admit that the Stormby remix featured here gives it that special lift making it fun to listen to.

I spent a great deal of time pouring through hundreds of mixes for these tracks and want to give a special shout-out to the "Official Madonna Remixers United" group without whom none of this would have been possible. Special consideration goes to Marco Sartori, Maxim Andreev, Lukesavant, Dubtronic, and Idaho for making this series truly special.

If the modern-day versions are not your cup of tea please visit the Madonna page that is dedicated to all of the sets I've ever created for her. Be sure to click on the "load more" button at the bottom of the page because there's a lot to sift through.

While this has been a labor of love — it's consumed my every waking hour to put it all together. Often tracks needed to be remastered to bring out the sound — while others needed to be edited to make them more cohesive. Despite the long hours and all the obstacles I encountered with my computer — I managed to pull it off and feel I've accomplished something truly memorable for the hard-core fans to treasure.

Believe it or not, I plan on a back-to-school end-of-summer Dance Club set to close out the summer sometime this next week as there hav...

After the release of  The Immaculate Collection featuring the biggest and most iconic hits of Madonna's repertoire from the 80s through 1990 — it became clear she was on a different trajectory with her music.

Final hits like "Vogue" and "Rescue Me" showed her not only embracing the underground House Music movement of the late 80s but bringing it mainstream — while "Justify My Love" employed the underground sub-genre Trip-Hop.

These musical styles were subsequently employed to greater effect in subsequent releases, which ultimately led to the album often considered the pinnacle of her career "Ray Of Light," which leaned heavily towards the exploding Trance sound with a dash of psychedelia while retaining its pop sensibilities. There was no genre that Madonna wasn't willing to dabble in and deliver with mass appeal.

The 1990s through 2001 featured Madonna's most ambitious musical output as her live concerts had already turned into masterful art shows since "The Blonde Ambition Tour" making her the most profitable marketing machine and performer of the 20th and 21st century — literally. These performances have often been imitated (see Beyoncé) but never fully duplicated.

Volume 2 of the Immaculate Bootleg Collection features the biggest dancefloor and pop radio hits of this period as envisioned by modern-day DJs who have breathed new life into these tracks.

There are two exceptions in that I used the original Richard "Humpty" Vission remix of my least favorite song of hers "American Pie" and stuck with the Junior Vasquez remix of "I Want You" as the other remixers didn't do these songs justice. Other than that — expect to be blown away by these reinterpretations.

I've been stuck in Windows hell for the last 24 hours setting my timetable back for releasing the final volume of this series. I even canceled a much-needed MRI and pushed it off to next month to get the final volume out by Friday. That's my current goal but it may not make it out of the gate until Saturday. It just depends on how much work I can get done today.

As you can see — I take this annual event very fucking seriously. Madonna's birthday only happens once a year and I'm here for it!

Until the next time...ENJOY!

This set has been updated from the original release by removing "Bedtime Story (Lycan's Dreams Matter Mashup)" which was of unacceptable quality and already present with the excellent version by the Cleitus T Late Dance Remix 2015. Additionally, American Life and Die Another Day have been removed as they will reappear in volume 3 of this series where they belong.

If you've been anywhere near a circuit event in the last 20 years, you've no doubt danced to the uplifting, hi-energy, diva-rousing productions of Wayne G The man has single-handedly re-worked some of the most iconic gay anthems of the past two decades.

From Kylie to Cher, Wayne's remixes are designed to make us move, sweat, and revel in our gayness. Some of his most notable anthems are from Australian singer and gay ally Shauna Jensen whose massive voice can get the party started — even in the smallest of venues.

If you had to make any comparisons of his work — that honor would be to Hex Hector who was given his own multi-set tribute many years ago. Both employed the epic anthem that built layer upon layer before dropping from exhaustion only to pick right back up. These mixes are fairly long clocking in at 8+ minutes. I took a scalpel to many of the songs to keep the party moving along in coherence with today's listening expectations.

Wayne's induction into the Party Favorz Legacy Series was already pre-planned but expedited when one of our followers requested it and sent over some rare tracks that even I didn't have. While I couldn't use everything as his back catalog is extensive — I used enough in this massive tribute to get everyone up on their feet and praise the DJ gods.

Please take notice that two of the tracks "Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera and "I'm Outta Love" by Anastacia are rare bootlegs and appear to be in mono. I could not secure full stereo-quality productions but the remixes are so good — they had to be included for posterity's sake.

It is my sincerest pleasure to honor the very talented work of the masterful Wayne G with his own tribute for excellence in dance music production as well as his massive contributions to the gay experience that will last a lifetime. ENJOY!
