Well, I did it. I just knocked out one of my bucket list items that I've been wanting to do for a very long time. That is, creating a comprehensive collection of some of the finest Classic Disco Songs of all time. Coming in at a whopping 222 tracks and 20h:31m:55s, The Ultimate Collection of Trash Disco is hardly comprehensive, but it comes damn close. Certainly, there are plenty more obscure tracks that DJs would insist on including but I did my best in picking the popular hits along with those tracks that are considered underground classics. I would have had to double the size to be that inclusive.

Take note that the Village People's "Macho Man" did not make the cut — only because there are literally no edits of this song. It's likely licensing issues but I can't be certain.

As previously mentioned, this final set is the one I was dreading most as it includes tracks with a considerably higher BPM count — which are the hardest ones to mix. There is a lot of heavy percussion in many of the songs — which posed a challenge when mixing. Most notably difficult are, Sylvester's "(You Make Me Feel) Mighty Real" and France Joli's "Come To Me." There are multiple versions of Sylvester's energy-infused classic but the one I chose closes with the acapella over an oddly structured percussion. I can't think of any song that would work well with it but Edwin Starr's "H.A.P.P.Y. Radio" came the closest. If it sounds a bit off, it ain't me.

The same can be said for Joli's "Come To Me," which has a heavy percussive drop. It would have mixed well with several songs in this mix, but I had to break somewhere to move in another direction starting with "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)", which takes the mix in a more synthesized direction thereafter. It's difficult to explain. Just know that I did my best and that overall — I am very happy with the set.

That being said, it's time to move on to other things. I've got a special re-induction into the Diva Hall of Fame on tap and may try to work out one last X-Mas Dance Mix — even though I only have one new song (so far). From there, we move on to newer material before closing out the year.

I want to give a HUGE shoutout to Paul B., Patrick Z., and especially Anthony S. for their kind donations. Donations for all the hard work I put into your listening pleasure are ALWAYS welcome and certainly very much appreciated.

Party Favorz will start moving in a new direction this next week. Until then...ENJOY!
