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.
