Party Favorz

Party Favorz began down the path of the Ultimate 90's House Classics on October 10, 2020. One year later, we've finally reached the end of this historical series, and what a journey it's been. Volume 6 wraps up the remaining massive progressive club hits with a few leftover Classic House tracks from that period. There's virtually nothing in this final set you won't recognize (even if you don't remember the title). The one exception is the Hex Hector remix of Tina Turner's "When the Heartache Is Over," which was widely rumored at the time but never materialized (at least not to the best of my knowledge). The preferred remix at the time was the Metro Mix. The Hex Hector remix never came across my radar until I started working on the Tina Turner Diva Hall of Fame series earlier this year. It appears that remix may have only been serviced to DJs and being from small-town America where I drove to San Antonio 4 hours to the north every other month to pick up the latest releases, my only other option was the DJ008

As we head into the final stretch of the Ultimate 90's House Classics series from 1998 - 1999 — part 5 delivers those odds and ends party house classics that go outside the progressive house that had become mainstream during this period of musical evolution. Songs like "Music Sounds Better With You" by Stardust, which spawned several mashups including the eponymous "Holiday" mashup by Madonna who has used this version live in concerts, "Get Get Down" by Paul Johnson, "Bodyrock" by Moby, "9PM (Til I Come)" by ATB, which is the basis for this year's massive "Your Love (9PM)" by Topic & A7S, "Red Alert" by Basement Jaxx, "Better Off Alone" by Alice Deejay, which has been used as the basis for multiple mashups as of late, "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" by Eiffel 65 (I'm in need of a guy), "It's Like That" by Run DMC vs. Jason Nevins, which launched Nevin's space into the hard-hitting rock influenced remixes he was later known for, "King Of My Castle" by Wamdue Project and the bouncy Eurodance hit "2 Times" by Ann Lee amongs

I don't have any special commentary on The Ultimate 90's House Classics [1998 - 1999] pt. 4 other than it's an extension of everything already released. There are a lot of golden nuggets included here and volume 4 speaks for itself. I'll be putting the finishing touches on volume 5 today and will then start on volume 6. The final two volumes of this series will drop later this coming week. The annual Fall Edition featuring the latest in circuit music for the gay boys will drop the following week (as there is a ton of promos clogging up my inbox at the moment) and our normal schedule for the latest releases will resume. I know y'all have been eagerly anticipating new music and they will be heading your way shortly. Until then...ENJOY!

Party Favorz is back with volume three of the Ultimate 90's House Classics [1998 - 1999] and this set dives deep into progressive territory. We kick the party off with one of our all-time favorites 'Lately' by Divine with Jonathan Peters performing remix duties. With its upbeat synths and fantastic harmonies — 'Lately' packed the floor every time it dropped. Of course, all the club favorites from this era are here like Faith Hill's 'Breathe' and the sweeping Hex Hector accompanying remix, 'Sexual' by Amber (a Thunderpuss instant classic), 'I Will Go With You' by Donna Summer that was packaged with the some of the biggest name DJs from that period, 'Someone To Hold' by Veronica showcasing Johnny Vicious' versatility who would go on to be an in-demand DJ in the early millennium, Whitney Houston's defiant 'It's Not Right, But It's Okay' (another Thunderpuss instant classic that takes the R&B original and jacks it up by a factor of 100 while blowing a hole in the roof with Whitney's powerful vocals - thank you

After a multitude of successful girl groups throughout the nineties — it was time for the boys to give it a go. While TLC was on the tail-end of their fame with their explosive release ‘FanMail’ — the girls were in disarray with constant infighting which ultimately caused them to collapse.

Party Favorz started the Ultimate 90's House Classic series in the fall of 2020. The overwhelming response to this series has been tremendous — certainly bigger than I thought it would be. A year later, we're now reaching the end of the decade and have pulled out all the stops for what is certainly considered the golden age of House Music. As we noted in earlier editions, the musical landscape began changing in the second half of the decade. After bubbling in the underground for several years before moving into the mainstream, Trance music took on a life of its own. While those tracks are not featured in this series (they'll get their own ultimate classics series soon enough) — Progressive House was the alternate powerhouse genre in the movement fueled by Hex Hector, Victor Calderone, Thunderpuss, Jonathan Peters, Peter Rauhofer (a.k.a. Club 69), Danny Tenaglia, Rosabel, Razor N Guido, Pablo Flores, Junior Vasquez and Johnny Vicious who blurred the lines between Progressive House and Trance. Probably one o

Well, f∩ck me twice on Sunday! Party Favorz (i.e. me, myself, I) has been in a pissy mood all week trying to get this CDN and caching plugin configured to my liking and it's turned into an obsession of defeat. I don't know what that means but it seems to fit the situation. Since Last Splash was already in the bag and I had planned on taking a much-needed break afterward — I decided to go ahead and drop this Labor Day weekend party set 7 days early. You'll notice a lot of Block & Crown remixes in this set as I've only recently gotten access to an entire catalog of their work through one of my DJ services. Many of these songs never see the light of day on Beatport or Traxsource but are DJ exclusives (likely because of licensing issues). There's not a lot known about this duo other than they appear to be filling the gap left behind by Almighty and 7th Heaven who have been staples in the gay dance arena for several decades. While their brand isn't strictly geared towards gay audiences as you'll notice their wo

As we near the end of the 2021 summer season, Party Favorz is cooling things down with our latest Chill Out session, Summer Farewell.

Party Favorz is back with the ultimate summer dance party to fuel the remaining days of the season and boy oh boy the Summer Melt 2021 is lit! When I sat down to compile this set list, it was coming up short and frankly a bit homogenous. There haven't been any late summer bombs released and the majority of it was already covered in the two-volume Catch-Up 2021 series, which dropped at the end of June. I had started building my set list for future Disco House and Peak Hour releases but after listening to the newer songs in there, I threw them all in with the Dance Club folder and just let the spirit move me. With over 200 tracks to choose from, I did this all on the fly and chose songs that just flowed making for one of the most diverse sets Party Favorz has released since maybe the annual Blow Your Own Horn series. There's a bit of Future House, EDM, NuDisco, House, Progressive House, and Tech House all fused perfectly in one seamless 4+ hour set leaving you with surprises at every turn. I made sure to inc

It's been one hell of a year but we're finally beginning to see a light at the end of the tunnel due to this long national nightmare. Party Favorz has been here through it all delivering the finest in club music to help you maintain a sense of normalcy. With most major artists holding back remixes and out-of-work DJs transitioning to fee for remixes — it's been tricky if not expensive delivering the goods month after month but somehow, we managed. Pride Edition 2021 is the most expensive set ever put together clocking in at over $150. We do it to support the DJs and the work they usually give away for free to support their live shows. Out of all these DJs there is one who deserves our biggest gratitude. That DJ is Brazil's Dario Xavier who has been a virtual remix factory of all the latest hits and gay anthems. Like India, Brazil has been one of the hardest hit countries by COVID-19 and the work he puts into his remixes that make up a healthy portion of this set is phenomenal. If you enjoy his remixes — plea

Party Favorz is back and ready to kick off your Memorial Day weekend with a Disco House party! This set is perfect for your pool parties, picnics, and barbeques with friends, family, or any strangers that stumble into your weekend fun. While there's plenty of Disco in this set, we're also witnessing a re-emergence of the more classic vocal house from the early millennium and a heavy reliance on housed-up versions of early 70s soul music. It's this blending of styles from various decades that's fueling the Disco House craze that's taking over the world. As more people get vaccinated and we begin to slide out of what was likely the direst year of our lives — Disco is just the right genre we need to leave our worries behind and live a carefree life if only for a fleeting moment. I'm truly psyched about where this is all heading and have mapped out your summer of music for you. First, the latest Circuit & Anthems set has been pushed back a week (don't hate on me). This will be our annual circuit Pride Edition
