This edition's cover art is courtesy of Mark De Lange, also known as Dirty Disco. Mark isn't just a prodigious and talented DJ who helps keep many of our Circuit and Anthems sets glued together; he's also a businessman, entrepreneur, and a genuinely nice guy. The hot daddy aspect is just an added bonus. Party Favorz wanted to celebrate this edition with real people we know, and it's an honor that Mark shared a variety of photos with us to choose for the cover. He even shared more than we asked for, but let's just say, we're impressed. If you find yourself in Houston (TX) anytime soon, head on over to the Montrose area and drop by his bar, the Houston Eagle (611 Hyde Park, Houston, TX 77006) where he spins on Sundays and say hi. Tell him Party Favorz sent you. The Importance of Voting in 2024 As we celebrate Gay Pride month, it's crucial to address some pressing issues. It's an election year, folks, and it's the single most important one in our lifetime. It was true in 2016 when we urged everyone to vote for Clinton, but many couldn't get past the email controversy despite her being the most qualified person to ever run for office. Her loss resulted in a narcissistic, six-times-bankrupt, and morally corrupt individual holding the highest seat in our nation, which allowed him to install three conservative justices on the Supreme Court, giving them a majority. Since then, they've rolled back voting rights, overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade, and expanded religious liberties to the point where doctors and pharmacists can openly discriminate against women, minorities, and the LGBTQ community without fear of punishment through state laws barring discrimination. Effectively, they've polluted our Constitution and severely restricted our 14th Amendment rights, and they're only getting started. The Threats to LGBTQ Rights Many of the hard-fought rights LGBTQ people have fought for, like marriage equality, sodomy laws, and the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, have been won by the struggles and willingness of the gay community to fight for the equal rights we're guaranteed under the Constitution. Now, all of it—ALL OF IT—is on the chopping block. After overturning Roe v. Wade, Justice Thomas, in his concurring opinion, went even further, inviting lawsuits to overturn contraception and marriage equality. Don't be fooled; this court is not comprised of strict constitutionalists but rather activist judges who are attempting to inje...

This set is packed with timeless gay anthems, including Denis Bravo's masterpiece rework of Whitney Houston's "I'll Always Love You," seamlessly blended with a snippet of the original Hex Hector remix. We've also included Ariana Grande's "Yes, And," based on the classic "Vogue" sample, alongside a modern Madonna rework by Leo Frappier (aka Division 4). Chappell Roan's breakthrough hit "Pink Pony Club" gets a dancefloor-ready rework by Stephen Jusko & DJ Blacklow, followed by Ethel Cain's "Sun Bleached Flies" and a haunting fan-made mashup of her vocals with Robyn's "Dancing On My Own" instrumental. Of course, no set would be complete without the original Robyn version of "Dancing On My Own," remixed by Luca Debonaire, Tony Ruiz, and Matt Consola. Adam Lambert and Sigala pay tribute to Sylvester with their rendition of "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)," while Lily Allen's "Fuck You" gets a rousing Dubstep remix. These two volumes of "Gay Anthems For A New Generation 2024" are truly the best yet, celebrating the LGBTQ+ community's progress over the past 20 years. In other news, we're still falling short of our monthly goals to keep the lights on. If you haven't already, please consider pitching in $5 a month to cover our operating expenses. Party Favorz won't be around forever, but we'd love to finish the year strong. We'll be back next week with a massive two-volume Pride Edition for our circuit boys. Until then...ENJOY!

Launched in 2016, this series revitalizes beloved gay anthems from decades past with modern reworks for today's LGBTQ+ Millennials and Gen Z. This year's definitive collection features the biggest anthems and reworks, along with fresh reinterpretations of classics. We've also regrooved tracks from current queer artists like Billie Eilish, Sam Smith, Chappell Roan, Ethel Caine, Troye Sivan, and Years and Years for the dance floor. This set is your one-stop shop for celebrating Gay Pride across all the hottest House Music genres. Volume 2 drops tomorrow, with another two-volume set for our circuit boys next week.

We kick off this sizzling set with the undeniable "Go Back" by John Summit and Sub Focus. This track has already set dancefloors ablaze, and its unique blend of Summit's signature house vibes with Sub Focus's explosive drum & bass switch-up guarantees it a lasting place in your summer playlist. While we love incorporating drum & bass into our mixes, it's a tricky genre to blend seamlessly due to its distinctive time signature. Trust us, a strictly D&B set can clear a dancefloor faster than the DJ can "read the room." After extensive experimentation, we found the perfect transition in Anyma and Chris Avantgarde's massive "Consciousness" from two years back. This track effortlessly bridges the gap between "Go Back" and Armin van Buuren's latest hit, "By Now," even though they aren't in compatible keys – sometimes, it just works! From there, we dive into the infectious energy of TELYKAST's "Free" and Avalan Rokston's "Paradise," two underrated gems that are destined to become summer anthems. We've also included two spring releases that initially flew under our radar, despite their immense popularity. Cloonee's "Sippin' Yak" received a must-have official remix by Morgan Seatree, and Mr. Belt and Wezol's garage-infused rework of Whitney Houston's "It's Not Right But It's Okay" finally caught our attention. While the original Thunderpuss remix remains iconic, Renyn and Schelander's energetic version sealed the deal for us. Jennifer Lopez, riding high on the success of her Netflix movie "Atlas" (highly recommended), also makes an appearance with Fisher's masterful house remix of her 1999 classic, "Waiting For Tonight." We've meticulously curated this set to deliver a Club Fusion experience – a mix of genres that keeps the party vibe fresh and exciting. We'll be taking a short break, but when we return, get ready for our June Pride celebrations! We'll be dropping "Gay Anthems for a New Generation" and "Pride Edition 2024" in the same week. Additionally, look out for our annual "Catch-Up" series, featuring the year's biggest hits so far, and the next installment of our beloved "Throwback" series. Until the next time...ENJOY! * No frogs were harmed in the making of the cover art. ^This episode was updated by tightening the transitions for the first quarter of the mix. It's slightly shorter than the previous version. Album: Summer Leap 2024Genre: House, Progressive House, Trance, Techno,

In fact, our latest edition of Chill Out Sessions takes a nostalgic step back to our Mixtape Sessions. These sets were laidback affairs but leaned towards a more commercial realm of music from that era. With the recent explosion of the Afro House genre, many of these tracks find a better-suited home in this series. DJs seem to have only recently discovered percussion as if it were something new, yet it has been a staple in dance remixes since the 90s, lending these songs a warmer vibe. Back then we called it Progressive House, which will undoubtedly resurface as the genre du jour of the moment any time now /s While some of these tracks indeed fall into the Afro House category, most do not. However, this doesn't diminish their quality, beauty or resilience. On the contrary, they are exceptional, and we're all about top-notch dance music here at Party Favorz. Nevertheless, many of these tunes are so laid-back that they might not fit the dance floor vibe but rather serve as background music while you unwind during your drive home from work or need some zen time. While we'll use some of these songs in our Club Fusion series (because we stay on trend around here), many wouldn't make the cut but deserve to be aired. I won't spoil the surprise by going into detail about each track today. Instead, I invite you to let the music be a delightful discovery for your discerning ears. Even if our previous Chill Out offerings weren't your cup of tea, I encourage you to give this one a chance. I believe you'll be pleasantly surprised. Until next time... ENJOY!

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! One quick note to let y'all know that Party Favorz has monthly obligations to keep our podcast up and running and so far,

This set is bursting with the hottest dance club tracks guaranteed to keep you moving all night long. We scour the internet to find the bangers that are taking clubs and festivals by storm, so you don't have to. Fresh Takes on Classics We kick things off with a modern twist on the early-millennium Progressive House classic "Touch Me" by Rui Da Silva and Cassandra, which the original was just featured on our BackSpin 2024 Volume 1 set. Switch Disco blends this iconic track with Drake's "Massive" for a mashup that's sure to get the crowd jumping. This trend of refreshing old favorites is strong, but trust us, nothing beats Cassandra's original vocals that add a touch of sultry urgency. Another standout mashup comes from DJs From Mars, who combine Ariana Grande's "We Can't Be Friends" with the Temper Trap classic "Sweet Disposition" This fusion perfectly complements the original Axwell remix, transforming it into a powerful big room anthem without losing its emotional core. New Releases with Anthem Potential Up next is Becky Hill's emotional powerhouse ballad "Outside Love" from her upcoming album "Never Be Alone" (dropping May 31st). The song delivers a deep and relatable message about heartbreak, further amplified by Hill's soulful vocals. While there are remixes available, Party Favorz recommends the extended original for its ability to evoke a powerful connection with the audience. We also have a killer rave remix in store for our next release – this song is that good! Rising Stars and Summer Smash Hits Ella Henderson and Rudimental join forces for "Alibi," a track that samples the iconic 90s hit "Gangsta Paradise" by Coolio. Joel Corry takes the remix helm, transforming the song into a hard-hitting 145 BPM dance floor anthem. Newcomer Artemas also makes a splash with the catchy "I Like the Way You Kiss Me." Despite some online rumors (we won't get into the details!), the song itself is undeniably catchy, especially with Oliver Helden's electrifying rave remix. This one's bound to be a summer smash. Keeping the party vibes flowing, we have a refreshed version of the 2002 classic "All the Things She Said" by t.A.T.u. Robin Schulz, Timmy Trumpet & KOPPY take this beloved song and turn it into a proper rave banger, seamlessly blending in with the previous tracks. Hidden Gems and Unexpected Remixes Don't miss the Martin Horger remix of Purple Disco Machine & ÁSDÍS's "Beat of My Heart." This remix injects a pulsating synth line, drawing inspiration from the Lil Louis House classic "French Kiss.

You might be encountering a surge of tracks labeled "Afro House." But hold on a minute – isn't that what Progressive House used to be called? This trend of rebranding classic genres isn't new. Remember when Deep House morphed into commercial House, then Future House? Great music deserves recognition on its own merits, not through constant relabeling. Speaking of great music, the recent TikTok wave has unearthed some fantastic reworked Progressive House classics. Think genre pioneers like John Creamer & Stephane K, Deep Dish, Scumfrog, and artists who masterfully used heavy percussion – Chus & Ceballos, Oscar G & Ralph Falcon, Friburn & Urik, Peter Rauhofer, and many more. Tracks like Rui Da Silva's timeless "Touch Me" are getting a fresh spin for modern dance floors, and the results are phenomenal! Back to the Future: Revisiting Millennial Dance Music The cyclical nature of dance music trends is undeniable. Right now, the spotlight's on late-90s and early 2000s classics, with artists sampling or revamping entire tracks. It's a trend we wholeheartedly support, and you can expect to hear these gems showcased in future Club Fusion and Peak Hour sets. This trend sparked a trip down memory lane for us here at Party Favorz. Remember our BackSpin series from way back in our early years? Last year, we aimed to revisit the glory days of 2000s dance music, following up on our popular Ultimate 90s House Classics series. We started with a Millennial Dance Classics series, but the sheer diversity of the decade made it tough to curate a cohesive set. After all, massive hits often land in our Top Dance Songs of the Year anyway. So, we decided to resurrect the BackSpin series! This allows us to delve deeper into specific genres that defined the 2000s dance music scene. Each BackSpin release will focus on a distinct genre, with a sprinkle of Trance and Electronica thrown in for good measure. These sets will typically span a five-year period, featuring a mix of crowd-pleasing favorites and some hidden gems ripe for rediscovery – think "It's Love (Trippin')" by Goldtrix and Andrea Brown or "Addicted To Bass" by Puretone featured in volume 1. For those seeking classic remixes by the likes of Thunderpuss, Hex Hector, and Victor Calderone, fear not! We've already covered those in our Classic Circuit Anthems series from 2014.

We've thrown in some Breaks and Trance too, keeping things lively. Our new mix "Vibrate" was knocked out in one sitting. We kept it tight so you won’t get bored; the tracks flow smoothly but with surprises to keep the energy high. In other news, we've moved back to our old hosting spot, aiming to settle down. The cost of running our show has been crazy, with some service bills hitting the roof. Not all these services are worth their price, so we're cutting down where we can, but it's still a pricey affair. We hit a snag with our recent move, causing a 24-hour downtime and some missing files. I'm on it, fixing things even on a Sunday. If you're following specific categories on different platforms, hang tight; it might take a month to get everything sorted before they reappear. We're also shaking things up with our donation system, switching to a new provider. More details are coming soon. For now, the donation page is ready (albeit a little sluggish), and if you can chip in, it would really help us cover our costs. I want to apologize for dropping another set on a Sunday (Monday in some parts of the world). I’ve been juggling personal stuff with updating the website while trying to crank out new episodes, which has thrown off our schedule. We’re doing our best to get back on track and make it up to you in the next few months. Hope you all had a great weekend. Get ready for our annual Spring Edition for 2024, specially for our circuit boy fans. Depending on the final tracklist, that set could evolve into two volumes and it appears there will be a second volume of Spring Break 2024. So we've got a lot heading your way in a short amount of time. Until the next time...ENJOY! Album: VibrateArtists: VariousGenre: Tech House, Techno, BreaksLength: 01:37:42 ACRAZE + Pickle feat.

Our latest Club Fusion entry spans a wide range of music, catching up on what we missed in January and February and previewing what's to come on dance floors in the next few weeks. There's plenty to talk about so let's dive in! John Summit returns with "Shiver," the follow-up to his massive 2023 hit "Where Are You Now," featuring another outstanding vocal performance by Hayla. While this track is a solid floor-filler, it may lean a bit too closely to the magic of its predecessor. However, that won't deter anyone from enjoying its deep atmosphere and haunting vocals. Summit also offers an exceptional update to Temper Trap's "Sweet Disposition," a song that never tires in its various versions. In fact, "Sweet Disposition" is on track to rival Underworld's "Born Slippy" as a DJ favorite for revitalization. Summit's take maintains the original's integrity while adding his unique flair to the track. Both releases are essential for any DJ set. Among the tracks we're excited about is Becky Hill's latest single, "Never Be Alone," from her forthcoming album. The D.O.D remix cleverly incorporates the bass synth riff from Armand Van Helden's 90s remix of "Spin Spin Sugar" by Sneaker Pimps, elevating an already stellar track on the dance floor. Ariana Grande and Dua Lipa also contribute new offerings. Ariana's "Yes, and?" has been stuck in our heads like glue, echoing Madonna's iconic "Vogue" and inspiring numerous mashups. Felix Jahen's version stays true to the original while giving it a contemporary lift. We eagerly anticipate Grande's next album. Dua Lipa's third album seems to explore similar themes as her groundbreaking "Future Nostalgia." Personally, I would have chosen "Training Season" over "Houdini" as the lead single (excluding "Dance the Night Away" from the "Barbie" soundtrack). The songs don't fall flat, but they lack the captivating edge of her previous work. Nevertheless, the remixes manage to elevate them for the dance floor, keeping Lipa relevant in the house music scene. It's time to spotlight emerging DJs you should be following, starting with AVALAN ROKSTON. Currently in Beatport's Top 10 with their remake of Moby's "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?" they've also released "Faith," a song teased on TikTok for over a month that truly lives up to the hype. The emotional depth of "Faith" is undeniable, especially when the euphoria hits. Their remix of London Grammar's "Strong" from 2023, though new to us, is so impressive it deserves recognition among the top dance songs of last year and has been included here despite ...

"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. Feel free to reach out if you find any other errors, such as wrong artwork,

Yet, towering above them all is the unparalleled Taylor Swift. This year, she embarked on her monumental "Eras Tour," spanning an ambitious 151 dates across five continents. The tour, already etching records as the highest-grossing by a woman and second overall, is a testament to Swift's colossal impact and unwavering appeal. But wait, there's more. Swift didn't just stop at live performances. Her concert film broke records, dominating theaters worldwide and showcasing her transition from a country music prodigy to a pop culture icon. This strategic re-recording of her first six albums, originally recorded at a smaller label, wasn't just a gamble—it was a power move to regain control of the royalties for her music after it was sold to a private equity firm from underneath her. Each album's rerelease shot to #1 on the Billboard Hot 200, sidelining fresh releases from other artists. In her "Eras Tour," Swift ingeniously packaged 44 songs from her discography into a 3.5-hour extravaganza. This visual and auditory spectacle, divided into 10 acts, each representing an album era, garnered critical acclaim and fan adoration, solidifying her status as a true music industry maverick. Here at Party Favorz, we celebrate such groundbreaking artists, especially when their journey intersects with dance music. With the flurry of new remixes emerging from "Taylor's Version" albums, we found it imperative to revisit our original tribute and elevate it with a fresh, deluxe edition. Reworking the original volumes was no simple task. We dove back into the essence of Taylor's music, remixing both volumes from scratch while respecting the template of the original releases. New versions and new songs now infuse these collections, ensuring a unique and exhilarating experience for Swift's fans. A special shoutout to Dirty Disco is in order for their invaluable contribution to the first volume of this deluxe edition. Their remixes, particularly the "Blank Space" exclusive, are a nod to Taylor's diverse fanbase, particularly the LGBTQ+ community, who find a special connection with her music. Celebrating Taylor Swift in our Diva Hall of Fame with 'Club Taylor Volume 1' is more than an honor—it's a recognition of her immense contribution to dance music. With over 200 million records sold, Taylor Swift isn't just a figure in a male-dominated industry; she's a trailblazer who has touched t...

This series began in late 2013 when I found myself with some extra time and the desire to create one last epic party throwdown to welcome the new year. Since then, BYOH has become a staple in our collection, a series that our fans rely on us to deliver year after year. Honestly, I've been going non-stop since late October, creating one set after another to keep everyone entertained and, perhaps, a bit distracted from everyday life. I wasn't sure I had another mix in me, but I sat down yesterday and, to my surprise, produced this final set in record time. It's accompanied by a quickly assembled cover art that, while not my finest work, certainly serves its purpose. This set is as raw as they come, which, in my opinion, is part of its charm. It’s a high-octane ride with few breaks, boasting a garage feel that epitomizes this style of mix – imperfections and all. I haven’t previewed it myself, so you’re getting the first listen. Most tracks in this set are alternate versions of popular songs from the year, many of which haven't appeared in any of our other sets. There are also some familiar originals that seamlessly fit the fast pace, along with a few notable late-year releases. Highlights include "I'm So Excited" by Sound Of Legend, a fresh take on the early '80s Pointer Sisters hit, "Hey DJ" by Joel Corry, reminiscent of early millennium tracks like Ian Van Dahl's "Castles In the Sky", a new version of Eddie Murphy's late '80s hit "Party All the Time," redone by Hannah Laing & HVRR, and "Make Me Happy" by Patrick Topping, a welcome return from an artist we haven't heard from in a while. I won’t be making any tweaks to this final set, so feel free to dive in and download it. I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported Party Favorz, especially after our slow start this year. I won't stoop to the level of a certain individual who disrupted our operations out of jealousy and unprofessionalism by naming names but there's a special place in hell for this asshole. Your support has been invaluable, particularly as our operating costs have tripled. You mean everything to us and we couldn't have done it without your continued support. Here’s wishing everyone a happy and healthy New Year. Stay positive, and 2024 will be your year. I’ll be taking off most of January not to rest, but to revamp our website with something fresh and exciting. Our current theme is showing its age whose team seemingly took over its development without much support,

A prominent trend in today’s music consumption is streaming, a phenomenon that gained even more importance during the pandemic, impacting the dance music industry significantly. While festivals still thrive with their EDM-centric, visually spectacular shows, club venues have suffered, leading to the closure of the Billboard Dance Club chart due to reduced DJ feedback from large venues. Even in major cities, where nightlife is concentrated, this shift has resulted in a decrease in the volume of new dance music releases. At Party Favorz, we've felt this reduction since last year. With less music comes fewer standout hits, and many of today’s hits often sample popular tracks from 10 to 20 years ago, repurposing these melodies into new creations. However, the silver lining in fewer releases is that it allows gems like "Water" by Tyla, "Body Moving" by Eliza Rose and Calvin Harris, and Peggy Gou’s hit "(It Goes Like) Nanana" to shine, reaching a broader audience. In a different era, these tracks might have been overshadowed by a flood of new music. Exploring other dance music genres, artists have reinvigorated styles like Drum 'n' Bass. While not our personal favorite, especially in a full DJ set, it has its place. Becky Hill's "Disconnect" is so Punk Rock that the D'n'B production by Chase & Status was a natural fit for the song. Issey Cross’s "Bittersweet Goodbye" is another significant Drum 'n' Bass track, infusing the genre's energy with orchestral elements borrowed from the Verge alternative classic "Bittersweet Symphony," which got them in hot water for borrowing the string section from the Rolling Stones "The Last Time." Despite its potential, this genre can be challenging for DJs without advanced equipment to blend with contemporary dance music. Still, Drum 'n' Bass is seeing a small rebirth when we were hoping for a Breaks resurgence in mainstream dance which has shown a lot of promise lately. We'll have to wait and see what 2024 brings. Latin House has also seen a rise in popularity. Jain’s "Makeba" classic emerged as a major hit this year with the Ian Aisher remix and reminiscent of the "Macarena" with its catchy refrain. We selected Axel Paerel’s version for this set, focusing on the instrumental part that really gets people moving. This approach is similar to the initial instrumental version of "Macarena," which later had lyrics added for broader appeal. Other Latin-influenced hits include "Marianela" by Merk & Kremont x Hugel vs. Lirico En La Casa and "Let's Go" by will.i.am and J Balvin.

This ambitious endeavor involved a deep dive into our 2023 Club Fusion and Peak Hour releases to compile the most impactful dance anthems that left their mark on the dance floor and resonated as unforgettable earworms. Our selection process focused on streaming numbers from platforms like YouTube and Spotify, complemented by our own personal bias. We've bypassed conventional charts like Billboard, seeking out the true gems that define the year's dance music zeitgeist, far from the repetitive playlists of mainstream charts. Celebrating Variety: The Standout Dance Anthems of 2023 The landscape of 2023's dance music was marked by an exhilarating variety. While many tracks echo the timeless allure of House Music, this year's biggest dance hits have ingeniously woven elements from classic dance anthems into fresh, vibrant creations. This blend of homage and innovation has injected a rich diversity into today's dance music scene, moving beyond monolithic trends. 2023's Dance Music Evolution: From House Roots to 'Jump House' Innovation One standout trend we've christened at Party Favorz is "Jump House," a thrilling evolution in dance music tempo, breaking the 130 BPM ceiling and soaring towards 145 BPM (and sometimes higher). Volume 1 of our Top Dance Songs of 2023 features these high-energy tracks, including hits like cassö, Raye & D-Block Europe's massive "Prada" (142 BPM), a Techno reworking of the Rihanna classic "Disturbia" (141 BPM), Calvin Harris & Ellie Goulding's "Miracle" (143 BPM), "Desire" by Calvin Harris & Sam Smith (140 BPM), "When We Were Young (The Logical Song)" by David Guetta & Kim Petras (140 BPM), and many others. These tracks blend pulsating beats with a nod to early millennium Trance, Techno, and House reminiscent of the Hard Dance era of the 2000s. Yet, this surge in BPM doesn't overshadow the enduring appeal of Future House and classic House Music. Tracks like John Summit & Hayla's "Where You Are" and Peggy Gou's "(It Goes Like) Nanana" have dominated the scene, proving that the heart of dance music still beats strong in its foundational genres. At Party Favorz, we've long championed diversity in dance music, advocating against a homogenized sound. Thankfully, 2023 has been a year of rich musical diversity, breaking away from the generic soundscapes that often dominate mainstream platforms. Exploring New Horizons: SoundCloud's Rise in the Dance Music Scene We're going to go out on the limb here and say that SoundCloud really is your best friend (even more than Spot...

It's that time of the year when the beats get bolder and the nights longer, perfect for some serious dance floor action. This year's mix is a rollercoaster of emotions and energy, starting with a mind-blowing mashup of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" and Beyoncé's "Summer Renaissance." It's a track that's more than just a song – it's a celebration, a nod to the legends who've shaped our world. Diva classics are getting a fresh circuit anthem makeover too. We're talking about Kim English's "Unspeakable Joy" and Tove Lo's "Habits," reimagined in a way that only true circuit anthems can. And Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone" is hitting the circuit anthem scene with a new energy that's both nostalgic and exhilarating. But wait, there's more – we're talking about diva collaborations that are nothing short of legendary. Dolly Parton and Miley Cyrus on "Wrecking Ball"? Yes, please! And Dolly Party and Beth Sacks giving us their unique spin on the mashup of 4 Non Blondes classic "What's Up" – it's like rediscovering these songs for the first time. Cher, the queen herself, is gracing our holiday circuit anthems lineup with not one, but two tracks. Her "Angels In the Snow" and "DJ Play a Christmas Song" are getting the circuit anthem treatment by Dirty Disco and Guy Scheiman, and they're bound to be the highlight of your holiday season. And for the grand finale, we've got a circuit anthem remix of Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas" that's so good, it'll make leaving the dance floor the hardest goodbye. The AI Factor in Music We can't ignore the significant role AI is playing in the music scene today. It's reached a point where AI-generated voices are singing tracks they might never have touched, including those by artists no longer with us. A prime example in our latest set is the AI rendition of Dua Lipa performing the Wham! and George Michael classic, "Careless Whisper," remixed by Henriq Moraes. The remix is impressive, but it's clear that AI still has a way to go in perfectly capturing an artist's unique vocal style. This phenomenon is widespread online, with music labels actively removing many of these AI-generated tracks from YouTube. The issue? Rights holders aren't seeing the revenue from these streams. This emerging trend is something artists and their representatives will need to address in future contracts. The situation brings to mind certain "Black Mirror" episodes – specifically "Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too" and "Joan Is Awful." In these stories,

This collection features the hottest dance club songs of the 2023 holiday season, and they are fire! Eclectic Beats: From Disco House to Tech House The set kicks off with Dom Dolla's "Saving Up," a feel-good Disco House track that radiates warmth and positivity. This song isn't just good; it's a contender for the year's best feel-good anthem. The soulful "Water" by Tyla has been making some waves after teaming up with Marshmello for a rework bringing it into the electronic dance music spectrum. However, Sak Noel picked it up and reworked it into a big House floor anthem making it a tune to revel in on the dance floor. Legendary Vibes: Cher and Classic Remixes In an unusual but welcome twist, Cher's "DJ Play a Christmas Song" makes it into the mix. This holiday tune has taken the top spot on Billboard's Dance/Electronic chart, giving her a #1 song on a Billboard chart for the past 7 decades — a testament to Cher's unwavering appeal. Robin Schulz punches up the song for modern dance floors giving that extra heft to ensure crossover success. Dimitri Vegas, Like Mike, Tiesto, and W&W have reinvented Dido's "Thank You" into a festival-ready big room remix. It's a rendition that's both nostalgic and fresh, capturing attention on multipile Spotify top ten lists. Fresh Takes on Familiar Tunes The one official remix that was left off last week's Club Taylor Volume Two was the LP Giobbi take on "Cruel Summer." It didn't quite fit the overall context of that set but is so good setting off a Melodic House vibe — we made room for it here. You may have remembered our inclusion of the Tears For Fears 80's feelgood classic "Everybody Wants To Rule the World" remixed by Niiko & Swae on our "Summer Farewell" dance party mix. Well, Tiesto came across it on Soundcloud and immediately picked it up and remixed it where it's currently riding high on Beatport's Top 10 Dance charts. It's possibly one of our favorite songs from the 80's and the extra energy Tiesto adds is just the fuel it needs to reach a whole new audience. New Collaborations and Remixes Sofi Tukker, teaming up with The Knocks on "One On One," delivers funk and seduction through Sophie Hawley-Weld's captivating vocals. It's a track that combines fun with a touch of exotic flair when she sings portions of it in Portuguese. Y'all may have remembered our suggestion that Becky Hill's massive "Disconnect" should be remixed in a more DJ-friendly Breakbeat style awhile back. Well, we got it in the Franky Wah remix and it doesn't disappoint. The remix keeps all of the elements of the original Dubstep version but provides a more club feel ...

Dominating headlines across the pop culture landscape, her influence has even reached mainstream media stalwarts like the Washington Post. From re-recording her first six albums to the record-breking North American Eras tour, now on its multi-continent leg, Taylor's every move is a story of positivity and influence. Her relationship with Kansas City Chief's tight end Travis Kelce and her push for over 100,000 of her followers to register to vote are just a few examples of her profound impact and how she's been able to stay in the headlines while maintaining a positive image without controversy. At Party Favorz, we have seen Taylor Swift overcome various challenges, including copyright infringement claims and standing up for artist royalty payments against giants like Spotify and Apple Music. Her courage was also evident in her legal battle against a Colorado radio host, demonstrating her unwavering strength and commitment to justice. Now, as her Eras Tour is set to continue through the end of 2024, one can only wonder about Taylor's next steps. At 33, her potential avenues are limitless, from songwriting for others to philanthropy. Here at Party Favorz, we hold nothing but deep admiration for Taylor Swift. We appreciate her talent and artistry, which she possesses like no other. In this second volume of Club Taylor, we've expanded upon the original release with several new songs and alternate takes. This set is tailored for those who relish modern interpretations of her music, spanning genres like Future House, Dubstep, and more. We've made sure to reflect this diversity in the second volume, and we hope our efforts in recreating these sets are appreciated by all. As Party Favorz now highlights the prodigious talent of Taylor Swift in Club Taylor Volume 2, we celebrate her as the defining voice of her generation. Her journey, starting at 14 in Nashville, to a superstar with record sales surpassing 200 million worldwide, is nothing short of extraordinary. Taylor's ability to adapt to the evolving music landscape is remarkable. Her consistent top ranking on the Billboard charts, despite their complexities, is a testament to her talent and influence. Her resonance within the LGBTQ+ community, particularly among gay men, is a reflection of our affinity towards strong, empowered women. In our Diva Hall of Fame, Taylor Swift stands alongside other legendary figures like Beyoncé, Rihanna, Selena Gomez, and Madonna. These women are not just icons; they are trailblazers who have left an indelible mark on the dance floor, a core part of our existence as gay men.

This year, we've meticulously selected and revamped classic tunes, infusing them with a fresh, danceable energy. A Festive Fusion of Classics and Contemporary Beats We've included timeless holiday favorites, ensuring this collection resonates with all our listeners. Mariah Carey's iconic "All I Want For Christmas," remixed by Low Sunday, headlines our lineup, followed closely by Kylie Minogue's "Every Day's Like Christmas," given a Stock, Aitken & Waterman twist. Donna Summer's 2009 special remix "Rosie Christmas" for Abercrombie & Fitch, and the powerful Cahill remix of Leona Lewis' "One More Sleep" add to the festive flair. The set continues with Bananarama's "Baby It's Christmas" in an Almighty remix, the CLX remix of the charity classic "Do They Know It's Christmas" by Band Aid, and Kelly Clarkson's "Underneath the Tree" in a vibrant Morlando remix. We culminate with the Illicit remix of Kristine W's "Oh Holy Night," bridging Christmas past and present. New Additions and Exclusive Remixes This year also welcomes newcomers to our Christmas dance series. Ariana Grande's "Santa Tell Me," in a unique mashup with Adam Turner, and the Choppe Davila remix of Ed Sheeran and Elton John's "Merry Christmas" showcase the evolving landscape of Christmas music. We also feature "Santa Clause Is Coming To Town" in a Dirty Disco and Traig remix, and the song that inspired this year's set, Cher's timeless "DJ Play A Christmas Song" in a 7th Heaven remix. A Balanced Musical Journey Our goal was to maintain a cohesive, engaging set, balancing classic Christmas lounge songs to provide a soothing interlude between the energetic first and second halves. This approach ensures a dynamic, yet harmonious musical experience for our listeners. Exciting Upcoming Releases Looking ahead, Party Favorz is excited to announce a special double-expanded Diva Series set next week you won't want to miss, leading into our annual Jingle Electric, Holiday Edition, and our year-end compilation of the Top Dance Songs of the Year.
