It wouldn't be summer without the Party Favorz Beach House Edition, and this year's set truly captures the essence of summer vibes!
Beach House 2024 has everything for House Music lovers, including straight-up House, Disco House, Latin House, Tech House, and Afro House, all seamlessly blended into a smoothie mix perfect for pool and beach parties.
From the fabulous opening piano chords on the David Penn remix of "Our Love (80s)" by Yours to the sweat-inducing "Body Next To Mine" by Alex Adair and Bottom Up, this summer Funky House set hits all the right notes.
A personal favorite is "Post That (Shit)" by Deon Cole and Terry Hunter. This track exudes a vogue vibe, beckoning listeners to post their poses to social media while enjoying a very Salsoul Records feel. The Chicago callout reminds us that the city is the birthplace of House Music.
Mark Lower and Alexandra Prince give us a summery cocktail spin on "Paradise," a remake of the Sade classic. Tyshawn Colquitt remakes the disco classic "Spank" with DJ Spen adding a faithful garage mix, complete with horns. Armand Van Helden updates his early Millennium classic "My My My" with the uncredited Tara McDonald on vocals, creating another personal favorite. Meanwhile, Simon Fava, Yvvan Back & Cumbiafrica bring "The Heat" with their Latin Tech House track, which is currently topping many playlists.
Another standout is "Move On Up" by Curtis Mayfield, with the incomparable Mark Knight performing remix duties. I didn't realize that the "Superfly" guy originally sang this song. Destination took it to #1 on the Disco charts in 1979, and Knight gives the original Soul/Funk version the Disco treatment, using Mayfield's original vocals. It's absolutely uplifting!
DJ Ritmo Latino's "Ritmo Latino" is one of several Latin House songs included here that lend a salsa vibe laid over a house beat. Yvvan Back and Afterman deliver the Tech House track "Who's That Girl," which, with its Latin House delivery, belongs here more than on any Tech House set, where it's currently riding high.
Finally, two other favorites are "Ain't Got No" by KPD and David Penn. The upbeat bounce of the song contrasts with the singer's declaration that she "ain't got nobody," a weird pairing that just works. Equally, Serge Funk's "Please Don't Leave" delivers a satisfying early 70s vibe laid over a Disco House beat that, contrary to the singer's plea, makes you elated and eager to dance.
Believe it or not, I knocked out Beach House 2024 in one sitting, aiming for a carefree, open vibe to accompany the music, and it just melted together like butter! Beach House 2024 is your summer soundtrack to plain ole fun.

I'm so fucking pissed right now that I don't have it in me to write-up some fluff piece about this set or Volume 2.
For those who ignored what I wrote in our Gay Pride Edition 2024, the pieces are falling into place. Unless you've been living under a rock, SCOTUS has just made homelessness illegal, legalized obstructing Congress in counting electoral votes to confirm a President, sanctioned bribery for politicians and judges, and dismantled federal agencies overseeing our environment, food safety, consumer rights, and LGBTQ+ protections. In doing so, they've seized decision-making power from career federal experts, overriding the Chevron Doctrine that traditionally deferred to their expertise.
After dragging their feet on whether former President Trump has total presidential immunity for absconding with Top Secret classified information back to Mar-a-Lago — something several people are currently in jail for while awaiting trial — on Monday, SCOTUS will hand down their decision. It's likely to be narrowly tailored, aimed solely at Trump, to avoid granting President Biden any special powers. This case highlights a crucial argument against presidential immunity: presidents are not kings. Granting them immunity from legal consequences undermines accountability and equality under the law, principles foundational to Constitutional Republic.
This is just the beginning. If you haven't read up on Project 2025, wake up. It's already underway. All they need is for you to stay home, not vote, and let MAGA control all branches of government.
That's the message. Happy fucking 4th of July.

It already feels like summer here in Georgia, and our latest Funky House release, Funky House Heat, brings the heat right to you. This episode packs a serious punch, overflowing with modern-day House bangers alongside classic Disco House that sets the mood perfectly.
Funky Classics with a Modern Twist
We kick things off with a fresh take on a 90s House favorite: Jamiroquai's "Space Cowboy" gets a vibrant update by Michael Gray in his "Good Vibe" remix. It keeps the original spirit alive while feeling fresh for the 21st century. Next up, Mark Lower and Alexandra Prince reimagine Sade's soothing "Paradise" with a Nu Disco beat and Prince's smooth vocals, creating a perfect summer invitation.
Dance Floor Dominators
Get ready to move! The set explodes with modern House anthems guaranteed to light up any dance floor. We're especially loving LF System's uplifting "Lift You Up," a positive anthem that reminds us to focus on the good, even amidst challenges. OFFIAH's "Hands" carries the same sentiment, with a roof-raising energy that beckons everyone to join the party.
A Touch of Sexy
Of course, Funky House Heat wouldn't be complete without some seductive vibes. The Shapeshifters deliver with "Body Music," featuring a familiar sample from the timeless House classic "Body To Body (Keep In Touch)" by Shades of Love. It's a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
Peak Hour Dance Floor Sweat
Ready to lose yourself in the heat? This episode features several peak-hour heavy-hitters. DJ Minx's "Don't Do It To Me," Earth n Days' and "The Kinda Love" (CASSIMM remix) are floor-scorchers. "NRG" by Many Few, which holds true to its namesake featuring what sounds like a sample of Loleatta Holloway but don't hold us to that — is pure FIRE!
Disco Heat
Funky House Heat doesn't forget its Disco roots. Dr Packer and Purple Disco Machine, two legendary names, bring the heat, while Sofi Tukker's "One On One" (a personal favorite) gets a remix treatment from the 70s Disco master, Cerrone.
Throwbacks with a Message
We love a good throwback, and this episode features two gems. Kyle Watson's modern take on the Funk classic "Low Rider" by War is a surprising hit, paying homage to Chicano culture while keeping dance floors moving. Brothas & Sistas' "Without Love" is a Funky House reimagining of the Doobie Brothers' "Long Train Running," transformed into a powerful call for unity in these divided times.
Finally
May will be packed with exciting releases at Party Favorz, so stay tuned across all our channels!

After a very long wait, Party Favorz is finally back in business with a brand-spanking new booty-slapping Funky Disco House episode to properly kick off our grand reopening.
"YoYo Dissco" features all the latest Funky House, Disco House, and House Music songs that have been buzzing in our ears for the past couple of months. If you're a fan of this series (and it seems a lot of you are, judging by the numbers over the past year), everything will sound familiar with a fresh sense of newness throughout the mix.
This set kicks off with some Gospel Disco by the always fabulous Barbara Tucker, who we haven't heard from in a while and delivers a hopeful track for these trying times. From there, you'll journey through the dance floor with an endless array of roof-raisers, funky throwbacks, and mashups of perennial favorites, creating entirely new songs.
Navigating Through Time: A Reflection on Party Favorz's Journey and Musical Milestones
Party Favorz is now in its 17th year, and it's remarkable to think we've been around for four presidencies, witnessing massive changes in technology and entertainment consumption. We were leading the charge in this arena before podcasts became ubiquitous, and while many have fallen by the wayside, we're still here delivering the dancefloor directly to you.
Towards the end of this mix, you'll notice a song called "The Cure & The Cause" by Fish Go Deep and Tracey K. Idris Elba took the song in a very 90s straight House Music direction. At the time of its original release, it was all about the DJ Meme remix, which added live strings in the vein of the Solsoul Records era. It was a massive hit back in 2007, the same year Party Favorz was born on the internet. It's interesting to note that it was also released during a presidential year, similar to the current time. While nothing will ever top the DJ Meme remix, this new rendition brought back a lot of fond memories from our early days. You can find the DJ Meme remix on our Funky House Edition 2007 v6 and on Volume 1 of our DJ Meme tribute mix.
Technical Updates and Enhancements: Improving Your Listening Experience
I've been struggling to get the categories to work on the streaming feeds for several days, but then it came to me in a dream last night. That's been the delay in getting the new design out, and I haven't fully tested it yet, but hopefully, it will work out. If not, I'm waiting on a quote from a developer to assist, along with fixing the link in the site's header. No need to inform me; I'm aware of it and will get it fixed as soon as possible.

No matter the weather, Party Favorz is set to elevate your mood and add a spark to your weekend with our latest Funky House music mix. "Don't Walk, Dance!" is one of those sets that's created in one sitting which packs an extraordinary punch and delivers pure magic right to your ears.
We start with a bang, featuring the iconic 90s House music sensation, Adeva. Collaborating with Soul Seekerz, bringing us "Musical Freedom", a track that echoes persistence and hope, while doing the Candi Staton original proud. It's a powerful opener that sets the tone for what's to come.
A Funky House Journey Through Musical Masterpieces
Transitioning smoothly, we dive into "Your Heaven" by Mother of Pearl featuring Pearl Mae, a track that epitomizes the uplifting spirit of Funky House. This is quickly followed by Mike Newman's "Things I Do", which intriguingly blends a Robin S-like sound with lyrics from the Commodores' 1977 hit "Easy", creating an uplifting vibe.
In a seamless transition, we experience Word of Mouth UK's creative mashup of Aretha Franklin's "A Deeper Love (Pride)" with Paul Johnson's "Get Get Down". This fusion not only honors the classics but also reinvigorates them for today's dance floors.
Iconic Samples and Versatility in Funky House
Illyus and Barrientos, known for their versatility, team up with Phebe Edwards on "Wait", a track that's pure gold. Mark Knight, another master at his craft, takes us into the realm of big room House with "The Greatest Thing Alive", a collaboration with Green Velvet and James Hurr. This deep House track is sure to have dance floors moving in unison.
No Party Favorz mix is complete without a nod to the legendary Loleatta Holloway. DJ Oji's "The Good Ol Dayz" brilliantly incorporates Holloway's "Love Sensation", showcasing her unforgettable voice in a new light.
A Disco-Infused Funky House Extravaganza
The set also features an array of Disco House tracks. We revisit classics like "Saturday Night" by Duwayne Motley, "Move On Up" by Block & Crown, and a fresh take on Chic's "Want Your Love" by Gary Tuohy, which keeps Nile Rogers' iconic guitar work intact.
Our journey concludes with Jason Walker, a talent whose voice and style remind us of Simply Red's Mick Hucknall. His track "Joy", produced by Georgie Porgie, is the perfect finale to our three-hour musical odyssey.

Party Favorz is hitting the airwaves again with Volume 2 of our Fall Throwback series, loaded with remixed songs from the 80s. Sure, we've sprinkled in a few gems from the late 70s, but the spotlight is mainly on the 80s. Let's jump into it.
Opening with a Bang: "Driver's Seat"
Kicking off the set is "Driver's Seat," a 1979 classic from Sniff 'n' the Tears. Block & Crown bring it to 2021 with their House remix. It's a tune that has graced numerous commercials and TV shows. Although it peaked at only #15 on the U.S. charts, many of this remember this earworm fondly.
Unexpected Remixes: "Sultans of Swing"
One delightful surprise here is Block & Crown's fresh take on Dire Straits' 1979 mega-hit "Sultans of Swing." They titled their version "Swingin Sultan," and it's a beauty. This remix stays loyal to the original while adding a modern twist, making it a perfect throwback.
Rock Classics Reimagined
Speaking of rock, we've got more. The Knack's 1979 hit "My Sharona" gets a Funky House twist, thanks to Grooveband and Ghostmasters. Block & Crown also rework Ram Jam's rock staple "Black Betty," ensuring that these remixed songs from the 80s and late 70s keep the dance floor buzzing.
Disco Gurls on Tina Turner's "The Best"
Disco Gurls dazzle us with their modernization of Tina Turner's anthem "The Best." Titled "U're Simply The Best," it preserves the original's spirit while injecting it with a new groove. If only this had been available for our Tina Tribute set.
A Smorgasbord of Modern Takes on 80s Classics
For those craving more, we've got a plethora of modern remixes your 80s-loving heart will adore. From "Should I Stay or Should I Go" by The Clash to "Hungry Eyes" by Eric Carmen, we've covered it all. Others like "One Night in Bangkok" by Murray Head and "Your Love" by The Outfield get their much-deserved spotlight.
Authenticity Matters
Although about half of these tracks feature the original vocals, the rest utilize talented soundalike artists. But don't let that sway you! These remixed songs from the 80s and a few from the late 70s offer a fresh, nostalgic journey worth taking. A couple of mashups even make an appearance, adding extra flavor.
What's Next?
Whether you grew up in this era or are a fan looking to discover these classics, this throwback set is a treasure. Stay tuned for our Fall Edition 2023, which will be dropping soon, along with new episodes of Peak Hour and Club Fusion.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

We're amped to announce that Party Favorz is rolling out not one, but two volumes of our Throwback series. This isn't your usual fare. We're talking about songs that evoke nostalgia, remixed by familiar names like Block & Crown and GhostMasters. Interestingly, these creators are mixing it up—literally. They're giving a fresh beat to songs that you probably never thought would belong in the Dance, Disco, or House categories.
In fact, our buddy DJ Freddy Greene started paving this route a while back. Remember his Disco and '80s Dance edits? He was all about those DJ-friendly versions. However, he also began adding beats to pop songs, and I must admit, it left me a bit puzzled.
Hits and Misses: A Mixed Bag of Remixes
Now that others are jumping on this trend, the results are, let's say, a mixed bag. Take Heart's iconic Rock ballad "Alone." Now picture it with a House beat. Sounds odd? That's because it is, and even we're curious to see how you'll react to these new mixes.
You'll notice the first volume spreads its influences across several decades but leans heavily towards the '80s. Volume 2? It's almost exclusively an '80s fiesta, with a sprinkling of late-'70s tracks to keep you guessing. There are definitely some throwback songs that will not only surprise you but knock you off your feet.
Keeping Up With the Prolific Output of Dance Edits
Just try to keep pace; these artists are pushing out songs faster than you can say "remix." All the selections in these volumes have been amassed since our Summer Throwback in June. There's enough material for a third volume, but we're saving those gems for a spring release
If these revamped classics tickle your fancy, head over to Beatport and look under their Funky House category. You'll find a plethora of these tracks, and other DJs entering this realm. Spotify and Apple Music are also good platforms to follow these artists. Trust us, the tracks we're showcasing barely scratch the surface of what these DJs offer. Here are their Spotify and Apple Music pages:
Block & Crown: Spotify Apple Music
GhostMasters: Spotify Apple Music
Measuring Success of this Throwback and What Lies Ahead
We'll be keeping a close eye on the success of these latest Throwback offerings. Their performance will shape the future of further releases in this niche. Our first two original volumes were big hits, and we're hopeful these will follow suit. But only time will tell.
And don't forget, Party Favorz thrives on your support. If you're digging what we're putting together, think about making a donation today. Your contributions help us keep the dance floor alive.

Party Favorz is back, and we're not just tiptoeing in, we're diving headfirst into the freshest Funky House Music that's electrifying dance floors as we speak! To kick things off, we're easing you into the groove with Birdee & Dr Packer's sultry number, "You Know I'm Ready." But wait, we're only warming up here.
Ah, nostalgia, that sweet elixir! We've decided to bring back "Good Life" by Inner City—a timeless classic from 1989 that's still making waves in the House Music scene. It's almost like this golden oldie was destined to coexist with today's sonic landscape. So we took the origina, punched it up, and slid it right into the set. Isn't it fascinating how some anthems never lose their charm? They seamlessly meld into the fabric of contemporary Funky House Music.
Just when you think you can catch your breath, we're turning up the heat. Cue the high-octane "Move That Body" by dance music legends Danny Tenaglia & Cevin Fisher. This thumping track signals a gear shift into the Big Room House realm. But don't get too comfy—some of these bangers wear the Tech House tag, a genre that's veering more toward the euphoric, peak-hour vibes we cherished in the '90s, yet it's unmistakably rooted in modern House Music.
Speaking of which, let's talk about "Jealous" by Mochakk, a track that revives the iconic monologue from Loleatta Holloway's #1 Disco hit "Dreamin'." Holloway's legendary adlibs breathe life into this contemporary banger, making it an instant classic. Trust us, it's pure gold!
And oh, have you heard "I Wanna Be Your Lover" by Mark Knight, Sgt Slick & Beverley Knight? It's an audacious take on Prince's 1980 hit, a song that they've rejuvenated while paying the ultimate homage. Beverley Knight's vocal finesse is just the icing on this groovy cake.
Then we have Purple Disco Machine putting his unique spin on the 2001 Eurodance gem, "King of My Castle" by Wamdue Project. Trust him to take something already great and elevate it, wrapping it in his signature Funky House Music vibes while preserving the essence of the original. It's not just a remix; it's a transformation.
But that's not all. Wedged between these standout tracks are other gems that are bound to make your Labor Day weekend an absolute sonic feast. Whether you're a Funky House Music aficionado or just dipping your toes in, this set promises something for everyone.

Party Favorz is back, injecting your summer with some crazy good funky house music in our 2023 Beach House Edition. This assortment is brimming with top-tier summer tunes encompassing the rich sounds of NuDisco, Deep House, Soulful House, hard-hitting House Music, and Gospel House which will take you to church and sin on the alter of House Music.
We've also included a few timeless classics, such as the stellar "Fire (Take You Higher)" by The Shamanic and Andrea Love. This track smoothly transitions into an intense House groove, heavily influenced by "I Need Someone (Tonight)" by Sessomatto (also known as Joey Negro) and Thelma Houston. The original release boasts spectacular remixes, so be sure to check out the exceptional Charlie Lane remix available on Spotify.
We also pay tribute to the enduring Soulsearcher classic, "Feelin' Love", with Dr. Packer's updated remix. A timeless tune that never fails to satisfy, it's one of many gems in the Soulsearcher's house music catalog chock-full of classics.
You'll also find Max Mueller's "Housy" and Peggy Gou's #1 club hit "(It Goes Like) Nanana" adding a massive punch to this set. Party Favorz has a slapping remix of Peggy Gou's hit, which will be featured on our forthcoming Top EDM compilation "Summer Heat", releasing in just a few weeks. Be on the lookout!
No beach house playlist with funky house music would be complete without some heart-pounding Gospel House Music. Tracks like "I Gotta Find U" by Basile de Suresnes and Alex Layan, and "Glory" by Dames Brown and Waajeed, take Beach House 2023 to new heights. These church-burners close out the set, leaving you yearning for more.
Suffice to say, Beach House 2023 promises to be your go-to funky house music set that you'll have on repeat all summer long. Until next time... ENJOY!

Kick off the summer vibes with our refreshing "Summer Throwback" extravaganza 2023! Party Favorz is dialing back the clock and pumping up the volume with funky house music that blends the nostalgic charm of old school music from the 80s, and 90s with the rhythmic energy of the 00s.
Every track in our Summer Throwback 2023 playlist is like a sunbeam - a bright reinterpretation of those beloved party classics, remixed with a contemporary twist. From full-length masterpieces to sampled layers of different eras, each song blends old school charisma with modern magic. The result? The perfect soundtrack for a pool party or BBQ bash with friends this summer.
Block & Crown (Adri Block) reign supreme in the niche sphere of Funky House Music, with Ghostbusterz, Nari, and Richard Grey adding their unique spark to this vibrant genre. Our summer throwback playlist is a tribute to these maestros of funky house music.
The tracks in our Summer Throwback 2023 collection aren't just memorable - they sparkle with fresh productions, capturing your heart like never before. Since last year's Summer Throwback release, I've been amassing these tunes, handpicking each one to create a soul-stirring, foot-tapping experience.
After a marathon session of curating, mixing, and tweaking, the initial playlist boasted over six hours of toe-tapping tunes. They posed a unique challenge, many lacking DJ-friendly intros and outros, but we're all about facing challenges head-on here at Party Favoz. Even after trimming it down by an hour, we're left with a substantial party mix that promises endless hours of enjoyment.
The past couple of weeks have been a whirlwind of projets, and the upcoming weeks promise even more of the same. Nevertheless, I'm committed to providing the best of summer vibes. Keep an ear out for a new Beach House, Peak Hour (fingers crossed!), Top EDM, and our annual Summer Edition - all landing over the next month. We guarantee a season full of sonic jams to fuel your summer fun.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

As the temperatures rise, Party Favorz is already diving headfirst into summer with our latest Funky House Music offering, "Feel the Groove". This set is a grand collection of the hottest House Music, NuDisco, and Deep House tracks presently igniting dance floors worldwide. Consider "Feel the Groove" your early ticket to our upcoming pre-summer music extravaganza.
This funky house music set starts off with a bang, featuring a fresh reinterpretation of the Soulsearcher classic "Feelin' Love" by DJ Fudge. This is quickly followed by Earth N Days' big room funky house track, "The Kinda Love". Earth N Days have been a staple in our sets since they exploded onto the scene in 2017 with "Just Be Good To Me" – a track that bagged the top spot on Beatport's year-end charts. Since then, they've been churning out tunes that any DJ, regardless of their experience level, would be proud to spin. Notable Earth N Days' contributions in our set include "In My House" and their remix of Hotswing's "Work It".
We've also refreshed some all-time favorites for this set, including Eelke Kleijn and Lee Cabrera's spin on Laura Branigan's "Self Control", Buth & Nic Fanciulli's reinterpretation of Marvin Gaye's "I Want You", and the 90s House classic "Another Sleepless Night" revamped by Shawn Christopher & Mike Wilson. In an unexpected twist, Shapeshifters have even revisited their own classic, "Lolas Theme", giving it a new life through a VIP remix.
Arguably, the titan of this set is "Fresh" by Crazibiza. This track ingeniously samples "Private Number" by Judy Clay & William Bell (1968), intertwined with the iconic vocals from "Somethings Got a Hold On Me" by the legendary Etta James, which was also famously sampled in Avicii's "Levels". The intertwining of these samples is not entirely new and was initially heard in "You Wish" by Nightmares On Wax, featured in our 2011 Chill Edition, "The World We Live In". But as the adage goes, a good sample is a good sample, and Crazibiza has indeed made it even better.
A quick personal update: As some of you may recall, Rick and I were victims of a flooding incident last Christmas, which displaced us into temporary housing. But we're happy to report that our unit has been fully restored and we're moving back in next week. Anticipate our next Peak Hour set to drop a bit earlier than usual – on Thursday of next week. Until then, we invite you to dive into the latest funky house music for summer with "Feel the Groove"!
Until the next time...ENJOY!

The beat drops, the crowd roars, and you know you're in for a ride. Welcome back to another energizing edition of Party Favorz's Funky House Music sets! If you're a seasoned listener, you know what you're in for—high-octane tunes that'll get your feet tapping and your heart racing. For newcomers, you're about to discover why Funky House Music is a beloved cornerstone of our extensive dance music catalog.
The UK Shapeshifters are no strangers to the dance scene, consistently delivering groovy anthems that make you move. Their rendition of "Slippery People," originally by the Talking Heads and featuring Ramona Renea & Fiorious, is no exception. This makeover takes the classic and adds a hypnotic bassline that slides you effortlessly into the groove. It's not just a track; it's a transformative experience that transcends time and genre.

Next up, LF SYSTEM’s "Hungry (For Love)" offers a succulent blend of funky synths and pulsating rhythms that'll leave you craving for more. There's a rawness to it, something intangibly authentic that harks back to the roots of Funky House while boldly stepping into the contemporary scene.
Birdee's versatility shines in our latest Funky House set, remixing Joey Montenegro's "Do What You Feel" with a groove that effortlessly melds old-school and contemporary vibes. Not to be outdone, his original track "Gotta Keep On" takes you on a euphoric ride with its compelling rhythms, solidifying Birdee as an emerging powerhouse in the scene.
Similarly, Dr Packer leaves an indelible imprint on our playlist with two standout tracks. His extended mix of Staxx's "Joy" transforms the song into a vibrant, feel-good journey, while his remix of Yolanda Wyns's "I Know You, I Live You" masterfully marries robust vocals and a captivating beat. Both artists prove that whether it's in the realm of remixing or original creation, their unique flair sets the stage for unforgettable dance experiences.

Tensnake's "Coma Cat," reworked by Purple Disco Machine, then takes the set to new heights. The extended re-work gives this already iconic tune an innovative touch, blending nu-disco elements and classic Funky House sounds that make for an aural treat.
Finally, "Keep It Movin" by Patrick Wayne & DJ ThreeJay closes out our set with a robust blend of uplifting beats and invigorating basslines that keep the energy soaring right to the end. It’s the type of track that epitomizes what Funky House is all about: a compelling beat, memorable vocals, and the ineffable quality that makes you want to dance until dawn.

Party Favorz is back, doubling down this weekend with our irresistible "Keep On Dancing" set, a compilation that caters especially to the Funky House aficionado. This playlist is a haven for those who appreciate sophisticated beats, as it seamlessly integrates elements of NuDisco, House, Soulful, Jackin House, and Deep House. If you've got a penchant for Funky House vibes, then this set will undoubtedly get you in the groove.
First up on the list, Todd Terry's classic "Jumpin'" is taken to new heights with the Wh0 Extended Remix. The remix adds a fresh layer of electronic flair to an already high-energy track, giving it that Funky House flair we all crave. Mattei & Omich team up with Mvttie for "All I Know," wonderfully reimagined by Babert in an Italo Extended Remix. The end result captures the quintessence of Funky House—groovy, expressive, and irresistibly danceable.
But the playlist isn't just about newly-minted remixes; it also features original masterpieces. Take, for instance, Disco Feelings' "Young Lady." This original mix is a quintessential Funky House tune that'll have you reminiscing about disco's golden era while enjoying contemporary nuances. In contrast, the 1980 Euro-Disco classic "It's A War" by Kano undergoes a transformation at the hands of Purple Disco Machine and Lorenz Rhode, creating a masterpiece that bridges eras of dance music with style.
It would be a miss not to mention Sheryl Lee Ralph's classic "In The Evening," revamped by Dr Packer. This remix reimagines the classic with the sensibility of Funky House, while maintaining the soul of the original, turning it into an anthem for modern dance floors.
As we experience a taste of fall here in the ATL, there's nothing mixed about this bag of Funky House delights. It's all smooth sailing from here, promising to keep you satiated as we gear up for the next installment of the Fall Edition, featuring big room sounds, tribal beats and circuit anthems.
So, go ahead and shake that rump or simply sip a cocktail and nod along—either way, this Funky House compilation is bound to make your weekend fabulous.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Party Favorz is back with the annual edition of Beach House, which features the biggest house music songs of the summer.
You will notice that the latest releases 'Break My Soul' by Beyonce and 'Massive' by Drake are included. At the moment, these two mega artists are being credited for the resurgence of House Music when that couldn't be further from reality. The truth is, House Music never went anywhere and has continued to be enjoyed throughout the world's clubs for decades since its introduction in the mid-80s. Like every musical genre — House Music has had its moments of commercial popularity before going back underground and then resurfacing again.
House Music was already having a major commercial impact in the UK with the massive remake of the Rufus & Chaka Khan 'Tell Me Something Good' by Scottish DJ Ewan McVicar. At this very moment, 'Afraid To Feel' by LF System is not only topping the Beatport charts but virtually every Spotify dance music list as well as peaking at #2 only being held back by the unexpected resurgence of the 80s alternative hit 'Running Up That Hill' by Kate Bush. As with most musical trends — The UK leads the way followed by Europe and then the rest of the world. Even without Beyonce and Drake entering the fray — House Music was already poised to make a comeback.
As such, the first quarter of Beach House starts with some heavier House tunes that are all the rage at the moment. The Dirty Disco remix of 'Break My Soul' is possibly some of the best work the duo has ever laid down.
One other bit about BMS that's bothering me is the crediting of the writers for the Robin S classic 'Show Me Love.' BMS uses a standard House Music loop that's been prevalent throughout House Music since the early 90s. SML was originally released in 1990 but it wasn't until 1992 when the Swedish duo StoneBridge remixed it adding the familiar, hook-laden loop that the song blew up across the globe making it an instant House classic. BMS does not sound anything like the song they're giving credit to.
It's funny because BMS has more in common with another 90s House Music classic 'Push The Feeling On' as remixed by Marc Kinchen (MK). This is another one of those tracks where the original failed worldwide success until it was remixed going from a Euro-techno track to a House Music Track. Even then, I wouldn't necessarily give songwriting credit to the Nightcrawlers or MK either.
In this hyper-lawsuit-driven world where successful artists are frequently sued for infringing on existing work — it's understandable that the label may want to get ahead of it and just give out songwriting credit before people start lawyering up.

Eager to ignite a wave of nostalgia, I initially aimed to debut a Block & Crown (Adri Blok) Legacy mix in November as an ode to old school music. However, as time grew short, I had to place this project on hold. With the 4th of July holiday weekend upon us, I found the perfect opportunity to delve into my vast archive of classic mashups and bootlegs, fusing them into an unforgettable 'Summer Throwback Dance Party'.
Their tunes have sporadically surfaced on Dance Club, Peak Hour, and Disco House compilations over the years, and acted as a treat for the discerning ear. What binds these tracks together is their shared love for the pulsating rhythm of dance music in all its vibrant forms. You'll discover old melodies reimagined, classic disco or 80s dance tracks seamlessly blended with iconic 90s Hip Hop. The vocals often echo the original artists, though sometimes they introduce a new voice that closely mirrors the original vocalist. While the titles may not instantly ring a bell, the moment you hear them, you'll find yourself saying, "Wait a minute, I know that tune!"
While Block & Crown have owned this Funky House Music space for a while, others, including Richard Grey, Softmal, Nari, Lissat, and more, have also carved out their space in the throwback dance party landscape. More recently, Ghostmasters, The Soul Gang, Ghostbusterz, and Disco Gurls have made a noticeable impact. I suspect Nacho Chapado & Ivan Gomez are the creators behind these aliases, sharing these remixed gems via their Guareber Recordings brand. Their focus primarily lies in the realm of 80s dance, with occasional explorations into different eras.
In tune with the early summer season, I've curated a playlist of dance classics that are the heartbeat of the 'Summer Throwback Dance Party' - the perfect backdrop for BBQs, family outings, or lazy afternoons by the pool. Spanning from the 60s to now, with a few fresh current songs with a retro feel peppered in, this compilation perfectly captures the essence of old school music. Some are straightforward reimagined classics tailored for today's dance floor, much like our 'Thank God It's Disco' series, but with a broader chronological canvas.
Regrettably, some tracks couldn't be included due to their abrupt endings, which posed a challenge for a continuous mix set. Despite this, the 'Summer Throwback Dance Party' has been my constant companion for the past week, promising a timeless party vibe for all.
If you're seeking an escape, this set is your ticket to a temporary paradise. It's a veritable sonic feast!
Keep an eye out for the forthcoming Beach House series - all the tracks are compiled and ready to launch next week.

"All Night Long" is an episode that stands out even in a genre as dynamic as Funky House. The set takes you on a musical journey that could very well mirror a night out in an upscale NYC club. It has a very cosompolitan feel to it. But more than that, it's an audial storytelling experience that binds various eras of dance music into one seamless mix.
You'll appreciate the inclusion of tracks that not only get people dancing today but have been doing so for decades. Chemise's "She Can't Love You" is a perfect example. It's an 80s classic reimagined by Purple Disco Machine, showing that good music can transcend time.

Adding another layer of depth to the episode is Jocelyn Brown with "Pickin Up Promises." For those not in the know, Brown has been a fixture in the music scene since the disco era. Her track's remix by Dr Packer seamlessly bridges Funky House's past and present, reminding us that the genre is rooted in a rich musical history.
Then there's "Wish I Didn't Miss You," an Angie Stone classic that's been given a danceable twist. Featuring Tasha LaRae and mixed by DJ Spen and John Morales, the track has been revitalized without losing its emotive core.
The episode isn't stuck in the past, though. Contemporary tracks like "What I Want" by Ron Carroll with Aires Adora on vocal duties are just as compelling, showcasing the modern influences that keep Funky House fresh and engaging.
So, whether you're a long-time listener or new to the Funky House scene, "All Night Long" offers something for everyone. It's a reminder of why we fell in love with this genre in the first place and why we keep coming back for more.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Party Favorz is back a day early to declare THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY! Of course, that means it's time for some lip-smacking, booty-shaking, funky disco house to kick your weekend off!
I'm fully aware that the weather sucks in 2/3 of the country as many of you are buried under ice and snow with freezing cold temperatures. Hopefully (if your power is still on) 'All Night Long' will help you thaw out.
I've got a lot going on this weekend so I'll keep this short. You can expect a new Peak Hour set to drop next weekend. For now, sit back and get into the grooves of this funky disco house set.
Until the next time...ENJOY!

Party Favorz is back with our weekend drop 'Shake It Up Tonight,' which is a massive Disco House set featuring the absolute latest House Music tracks that include NuDisco, Jackin House, Soulful and Deep House grooves for those of you who prefer something funky in your party arsenal.
This set had been finished since last week but we had to go back this morning and rework the final transition between the newly released remix of 'Unspeakable Joy' by one of our favorite Divas Kim English to the amazing 'Beginnings' by Don Welch. We had been sitting on that track since August as it dropped too late to get onto our last batch of disco house music. For some of you older folks and/or fans of the group Chicago, this is a nice House remix of their early 70's pop hit by the same name that charted as a double-sided single with the other being the bigger track 'Color My World.'
'Beginnings' in its radio format is a nice pop track featuring the horn section Chicago had become known for but the album version lodges into the group's signature alternative rock-jazz-fusion style that clocks in over 7 minutes. This remix reimagines the track in the world of House Music and it's so well done that it had to be the closer for this set. The song kinda flew past most DJs radars but being the musical connoisseurs that we are — it had to be included.
The transition from the Dr Packer Mix of the Kim English classic "Unspeakable Joy" had a cold acapella ending (which we generally like) but it wasn't working in that the beats clashed with the incoming Don Welch track even though they were in the same key. So, some creative tricks were employed to make the transition sound as seamless as possible and it's not something a DJ would do on the fly but in the studio. Our goal is to provide a seamless experience throughout even if it's not something anyone would appreciate but anal retentives like us (i.e. me when I'm talking in 3rd person).
This set was intentionally ginormous because it's not clear yet if there will be one final Disco House set by the end of the year (though that's the goal). We've got a massive slate of releases scheduled between now and the end of 2021 so saddle up because it's going to be a wild ride to pack everything in.
Until then...ENJOY!
