OMFG! Party Favorz has made it through another year of delivering the biggest dance tunes straight to your ears. Even I can't believe how far this little site has come going into our 10th year. To put things into perspective, we switched from self-managed hosting (which had gotten out of control and was financially unmanageable) to managed hosting on December 7th. From that time to now, we have racked up a staggering 8,575 downloads and the month isn't even over yet. My guess is we'll be testing the limits of my new host's 'unlimited' data and bandwidth offer in due time.

In the interim, Party Favorz is proud to present our annual Top Dance Songs of the Year (formerly called Time Capsule) which culminates the biggest and best dance tunes of the year that was. Of course, determining the biggest dance tunes of the year is subjective and based on how your tastes run. We present a wide variety of genres here on the site, so the main focus is on the commercial aspect of dance music when considering which tunes to include.

Since all music is 'electronic dance music', you may have noticed we're in the process of dropping the EDM label and switching it over to a more generic 'dance' genre. Beatport can play around with this shit all day long to capitalize on (what they think is) the latest trend but at the end of the day; it's all the same. Party Favorz offers more overly broad genres so that users have a pretty good idea of what they like and can focus just on those categories that only interest them.

This has never been easier for iTunes users. We've set up feeds for each category on the site so that you can subscribe to only what you like. For those that love everything, it's a good way to automatically keep everything organized on your phone or tablet so you don't have to scroll through the whole feed to find what you're in the mood for. Each feed is linked in the slider at the top of the page and on each category page, making subscribing effortless. For those that don't use iTunes, just copy the address for each category and submit it to your favorite RSS reader and it will discover the feed automatically.

I want to give a HUGE shout-out to those of you who have continued to support our efforts to make Party Favorz the best damn podcast on the planet. The most recent donations by Gary B. $50; Eric W. $100; Alberto M. $50; Anthony B. $25 and Luis B. $50 have been instrumental in helping the site transition to a new service while keeping our doors open.

I'll be back tomorrow with pt. 2 of the Top Dance Songs of the Year 2016. Until then...ENJOY!
