Party Favorz is back with our final Funky House Music set of the year, "All About the Bass"—and this one’s guaranteed to make you sweat!
Pulling inspiration from a mix of genres—NuDisco, Disco House, Tech House, and good old-fashioned House Music—"All About the Bass" is a masterful blend of everything that makes Funky House Music so irresistible. Each track seamlessly transitions into the next, keeping dancers and listeners on their toes with something fresh and unexpected at every turn.
I won’t dive too deep into the details of this set because, frankly, the music speaks for itself.
As we get closer to the end of the year, I wanted to give everyone a heads-up about what’s in the pipeline between now and then. I’ve got a new Chill Out set I just started working on, but I’ve also got a lot of medical shit this week, so the release may be slightly delayed. We’ll see.
That will be followed by our final Club Fusion set of the year—the annual "Jingle Electric", featuring all the hottest Dance Club songs heading into the holidays. After that, we’ll drop our annual "Holiday Edition", which brings HOT Santas and even hotter tribal beats for the circuit boys.
Next up, we’ll roll out the "Top Dance Songs of the Year" set,Sat, 16 Nov 2024 - 2h 16min - 153 - Fall Throwback Dance Party: Volume 1

Right now, I'm at a complete loss for words about what happened in my country last night. The sheer amount of racism, misogyny, xenophobia, and homophobia spoken loud and clear with Kamala Harris's defeat is staggering.
My prediction? Trump will probably last six months to a year before Vance moves to have him replaced under the 25th Amendment. The guy’s a rambling, dementia-addled buffoon, so that shouldn’t be too hard. Project 2025 will start checking off every box on their agenda from day one.
Now that SCOTUS has handed the president king-like powers, I wouldn't be shocked if this administration takes over all media and silences others, building its own propaganda machine. NATO will be dissolved, we'll pull out of the Paris Climate Accord, Putin will wipe out Ukraine and start moving on former NATO allies, and China will seize Taiwan. Trump or Vance will undo the Chips and Science Act, which poured nearly a trillion dollars into bringing chip manufacturing back to the U.S. Abortion bans will go nationwide, and with our Senate lost, Justice Thomas and Alito will step down and be replaced with younger ideologues, sealing white nationalist control over the highest court for a generation. LGBTQ rights? Gone. Contraception? Banned. Education will become a luxury, and kids will be working fields once every immigrant, legal or not, is deported. If Trump enacts a 20% tariff on all imports and 60% on anything from China, expect everything — including food — to quadruple in price. And that's just the beginning. There's a religious agenda waiting in the wings, and we’ll see soon enough how that nightmare unf...Wed, 06 Nov 2024 - 2h 39min - 152 - LET’S GO!: Funky House Monster Tracks

Party Favorz is back with some hard-hitting House Music — the kind that makes you want to get up and dance!
Lately, House Music has been crossing over into the mainstream, with the excellent Nic Fanciulli and Robert Courois track "Set Me Free" sitting atop Beatport's Top 100 and trending on many Spotify dance playlists.
However, the song that's got us all worked up at Party Favorz is the opening track, "Let's Go" by Jaden Bojsen. This track is ripe for remixes, and while I've seen some floating around, I'm not certain if they're official. I'm calling attention to this song because it channels late '80s and early '90s House Music, perfectly setting the tone for most of this set. I fully expect it to feature on our next Dance Club set (dropping soon), as I want to push it hard. In the meantime, be sure to add it to your Spotify and Apple Music playlists.
While this set sticks to our current House floor favorites, there's a good mix of Disco House and even some French House we're really into at the moment, giving it a nice balance. A personal favorite of mine is "Delicious" by Risk Assessment, which lifts the Acid House classic "Theme From S.E.X. Express," slows it down to a slinky 120 BPM, and throws in some classic Deee-lite riffs. If you know, you know. If you don’t — you’ll be into it soon enough.

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.Sat, 13 Jul 2024 - 3h 16min - 148 - Feel the Heat With the Latest Funky House Jam!

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.

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...Sun, 25 Feb 2024 - 2h 21min - 146 - Deep Edition 2007 Volume 1 [Remastered]The Deep Edition 2007 v1 is the first in a series of house mixes that I will update frequently. The original series was called "Leftovers" but I decided to stay with the Party Favorz theme. You'll know the style based on the title.
For instance, "Deep" is laid back smooth house with a little alternative thrown in for good measure...nothing ever gets too loud though. "Funky" will be an upbeat shake-your-ass type of music that can include some Deep House.
That being said, here is the first of several from this new group. Enjoy!

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.

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 fromSat, 02 Sep 2023 - 2h 25min - 136 - Crazy Good Funky House Music For Summer

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.

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 ...Sat, 20 May 2023 - 2h 31min - 134 - House Sessions Nov. 2k15 pt. 2

Moving along with pt. 2 of the November House Sessions, we keep rolling in the deep with a bevy of familiar pop tunes rolled up in dark chocolate. Then, I couple these with up and coming tunes that are about to hit your favorite bar, club or radio station soon.
I have finally found a balance between the discontinued Mixtape series that I had been churning out and the ongoing Funky House series I've been making since the beginning of Party Favorz. Obviously, house music has evolved but it's not always about the funk or boogie. Sometimes, it's about the cool steady beat that drops from 128 BPM down to 115 BPM that keeps your head bopping and hips moving. By incorporating elements of both, I am better able to satisfy my own personal lust for all things house, while keeping the flow steady and maintaining interest throughout (at least I'd like to think so).
I'm dropping a bomb surprise later next week (likely on Thursday which is Thanksgiving for those of you not in the U.S.) and a day off for me. If I haven't mentioned it, Rick and I have been on really good terms lately. He's been over several times to kind of help with hanging up stuff and getting my space turned into the quasi-cool hipster pad I had envisioned when I moved into this much smaller unit. We have plans to go out to one of our favorite Bar & Grills in midtown on Thursday. It's the first restaurant we went to when we moved to Atlanta back in 2001 and has been one of our consistent favorites ever since. It's kind of an older gay crowd with friendly wait staff, great comfort food and just an overall nice atmosphere to be in with friends. I'm not saying or expecting anything beyond that, but it's good to have him in my life.
That's all I got for today.Sat, 21 Nov 2015 - 1h 32min - 133 - House Sessions Nov. 2k15 pt. 1

As 2015 begins to wind down, there is no better way to do it than with a pair of house sets that feature some of the seasons biggest and deepest house music. In the last few years, Deep House has outgrown its underground status and crawled its way into our mainstream conscious making it more accessible while still retaining its roots steeped in house music.
I really worked these two sets out by picking up songs here and there, then a day later dropping some in favor of others until I got the perfect combination that hits my sweet spot. As a result, it was inevitable that both sets ran over the 80-minute mark and for that, I'm not going to apologize.
I'm off today and tomorrow before the hectic shopping season is upon us, I'll be pulling in more work hours than sleep. You may have remembered that I had applied and tested for a government position, which I was told was in the top 1% of candidates. Well, I never heard back from them and my status online has no remarks, at all. The other job I had, which I was planning on leaving for that one is with Amazon. Yes, that giant behemoth in the cloud. Within two months I was promoted and can actually see a future with the company but I gotta say their pay is a tad left of a decent living standard. I won't complain, nor rail against them because they have a lot of fantastic people working there and I can clearly see a path to a brighter future for myself working with them. In short, I'm taking lemons and trying to make a fabulous Martini LOL.
That's all for today. I'll be back tomorrow with part 2 of this awesome set. Until then ...ENJOY!

Say what? Another house music set? Hey folks, if you haven't been paying attention since last year, this is the direction that a lot of the EDM mainstream has been heading; so it only makes sense that there would be more of these sets than my traditional electro-house sets. Even those, like last week's Ripe and Juicy had many elements of the deep bass sound that's prevalent in the current dance music scene.
To prove my point, go back and read what I wrote in last year's The Best in House 2015, as I had predicted the heavy influence of that sound seeping into the mainstream. Eventually, it will correct itself as I am already beginning to hear some 80s influences which are coming across as pretty relevant today. Think of it like a washing machine with all the different colors and fabrics being thrown into together. What you get when it comes out are colors that bleed into others creating a whole new look for your favorite t-shirt, which is pretty cool. Then others begin to fade or tear creating a whole new category of clothing that's still wearable while presenting a whole new image.
With all that being said, I really just wanted to clear my hard drive so I can make room for the latest rounds of EDM, Circuit,Fri, 30 Oct 2015 - 1h 21min - 130 - Decompression pt. 2

I'm finally getting my bearings at work. At 12 hours a day, 6 days a week I've decided to reconstruct my free time in a way that will allow me to spend at least some time doing the one thing I truly love ...PARTY FAVORZ. Those that have followed me like forever and a year know that I am truly devoted to this site and that every time I try to throw my hat in the ring and walk away due to circumstances in my life; one way or another I get roped back in. This time around, I ain't giving it up but will have to make some adjustments to make things work.
That doesn't mean I'll be posting at my usual break-neck speed but it does mean I'm in it for the long-haul or at least until one of our favorite divas dies or decides to call it quits then I'll take my cue to gracefully exit this space.
For now, I've got the second part to Decompression, which these days is exactly what the doctor prescribed; that and some bed rest but those two don't necessarily go hand in hand, so I'd stick with the music LOL.
No point in making predictions on what's going up next (though I've got a semi-map for the rest of the year) so you'll just have to keep following to see if your favorite genre pops up in the next few weeks. Until then ...ENJOY!

I've been pretty much drowning at work at here at home. I've got a cat that keeps throwing up all over the place, an apartment that's a complete disaster (beyond anything I prefer to live in) and sliding patio door that doesn't securely close with an un-responsive complex that either can't or won't fix their shit and a neighbor that just backed into my car, then proceeded to give me his health insurance card instead of car insurance. I've been sicker than anything I've experienced in ages (I rarely if ever get sick) then took half a day off yesterday and slept from 4 - 4. I've got 10+ hours a day of work starting tomorrow through Friday and frankly don't have much time to devote to this site much-less myself. So, please bear with me while I try to manage my life and attempt to get everything prioritized; I'm just a bit overwhelmed at the moment. Please don't send any emails or requests as I'm getting well over two-weeks sitting in my inbox that I haven't even looked at yet.
That said, here is the latest funky house set I promised last week and I've got another set for next Saturday. I haven't even started nor looked at the songs for EDM and don't know when I'll get around to it. All I ask is patience while I sort these things out.
At least I can guarantee one more next week. Until then ...enjoy.

About two weeks ago, I had started on what would be a two-set funky-house-music series for April. I had gotten through the elimination process and just threw the songs together to see what worked and what didn't. That was about as far as I got.
So yesterday, while backing up and clearing out my hard drive, I left the house music folder for last. I combined the two sets and dumped it on my phone to check out later. That evening, I decided to get drunk and play Monopoly (yes, it's nice and slow and I don't have to think) while listening to this rough mix.
Overall, the music is solid but the mixing could use some work and some songs likely would have been cut. Since I know I won't be able to finish these sets, I left them as one and decided to share it with everyone. Keep in mind, this IS NOT finished product but is definitely good enough for your listening enjoyment.
This is the last thing on my hard drive and I don't have anything else that was in the works. For what it's worth ...ENJOY!
Final Thoughts: The Party Favorz Vault has been suspended and will not be accepting any new subscribers. Current subscribers will continue to have access, though if you have a recurring plan, I'd suggest you go ahead and cancel it; you'll still have access afterward.
Also, if you live in the ATL area and know someone who has a guest house for rent, reach out to me on Facebook or Google. I literally have no place to go when our lease is up on the 13th. I've got a ton of really nice furniture and appliances that I may just have to give away, since I know I can't take most of this stuff and Rick isn't getting any of it.
Any suggestions, LMK.

So is anybody as sick and tired of the rain, ice, snow and ungodly freezing-cold temperatures as I am? If you answered yes, you're a reasonable and sane person. If you answered no, give us your address so everyone that answered yes can go there and kick your ass LOL.
Granted, I live in Atlanta so the worst we've had was about 15 degrees for a couple of days and many in the 20s. This morning it was 32 and we even had a little snow-dust yesterday but nothing near as bad as those folks above our latitude; my heart bleeds for you.
I'm a southern boy who is used to warmer, sunny days and when it isn't; I feel about as happy as Box Boy on the cover art of this set.
That being said, I'm here to inject warmth into these gloomy days with some funky, disco, house shit that will have you thinking about sipping margaritas on the beach.
Hang in there folks, spring is almost here. ENJOY!

Previously, I had stated that November’s set was the final funky house edition for the year but I was wrong. I had so many great songs that didn’t make the cut, I couldn’t just leave them on the floor like unused parts of a carcass in a slaughterhouse that is scooped up with all the rat excrement and later compressed into some unknown victual commonly known as Spam. So I had to figure out some way to pull them together and serve it as a first-class meal.
Fortunately, there was a slew of great tunes still hitting the floor after that set came out and once worked in with my leftovers, we got the House Sessions December 2K14. Don’t worry, this has all the vitamins and minerals you need to sustain a healthy lifestyle; no fillers here.
This set is all about Deep House with a little funky and soul mixed in to round it out. It’s deep and delicious like Godiva dark chocolate and a hot cup of cocoa. Perfect for those long cold nights when you just want to unwind and forget about all the madness that is the holidays.
WAIT! I ain’t even done yet. I got one more set going up to get ya’ll in the mood for the holidays. Give me a sec and I’ll be right back!

Party Favorz is proud to present to final House Sessions set of 2014 and as Loleatta once said “let me tell ya” this thing wreaks of a 1,000 sweaty bodies crammed into a warehouse rubbing and gyrating under the glow of a sparkling disco ball at 3 AM in the morning. In short, I turned this MOTHERFUCKER OUT!We start out nice and sweet with the early 80s throwback SO IN LOVE by Adri Block, which channels the fabulous Evelyn King. From there, it continues to pick up steam until BAM! You hit a brick wall the moment you run into SAY YES by Two Kings feat. the Queen. This shit is like the Staple Sisters went to house heaven and sprinkled disco dust on all the believers down below.
No strangers to the scene, Two Kings consist of the legendary Jamie Lewis, who frankly needs no introduction and Fabulous Keys another veteran stalwart that you may be more familiar with the folks he’s worked with (Chaka Khan, Sheila E., James Brown) than the actual man himself. Throw into this mix Swiss made soul singer TANJA DANKNER and you got yourself a recipe that even Julia Child couldn’t have concocted.
If this song is any indication of how well they work together, Party Favorz is EAGERLY awaiting their album SAY YES to drop in early January, which will include a solid mixture of chill grooves, deep house, and funky house music.
Another favorite veteran around here is the incredible Mark Picchiotti who is introducing us to Chicago’s Rufus Proffit. SHELTER takes us back to the 70s while Marks keeps the beats centered around funky house bliss and Rufus delivers a deliciously soulful vocal that harkens back to another place and time. Those that know me also know that besides being a dedicated house-head, I am a HUGE 70s soul, disco, and funk fan and my encyclopedic brain’s endorphi...Fri, 14 Nov 2014 - 1h 20min - 124 - Summer XO 2014 | Volume 2

Happy Sunday everybody! For pt. 2 of the Summer XO, I went back and brightened things up a bit by putting some sunshine into the mix. This set has some of my go-to songs of the moment like Basement Jaxx's “Never Say Never,” the unstoppable Duke Dumont’s “Won’t Look Back” and Kieza’s “Hideaway.” Sandwiched in between is a heaping trove of house goodness.
September is pretty much gonna be a sleeper here at Party Favorz, with two new Mixtapes (which are already in the can) and a very special new Diva induction into the Hall of Fame. I still have the final five volumes of Millennial house classics to deliver so you got a pretty good idea of what’s coming out this month. The next Dance Club set(s) and the Fall Edition won’t likely drop until sometime in October.
Anyone that’s had a chance to check out the site, will notice a major re-work of the layout and design. Realizing I need to restructure so I can somehow monetize it to recover my monthly costs, I’m trying out some new things. Expect even more changes to Party Favorz in the coming months. Don’t worry, this ain't gonna hit your pocket-book, but hopefully will allow me to take my costs off my budget so it can sustain itself and continue to provide you with the excellence in podcasting you've come to enjoy from me.
If you’re in the US, get out and BBQ today and enjoy your Labor Day holiday. If you’re not, get out anyway and take in some sunshine. I’ll start rolling some new stuff out next week. Until then …ENJOY!

As we begin to wind down summer 2014, I thought now would be a good time to send it off with a pair of super-deep house-lovin’ sets. Summer XO represents some of the darkest house tunes I’ve come across in a long time. Despite its shiny happy disco beat, the lyrics to the Ting Ting’s new single “Wrong Club,” are pretty dark.
Don’t get me wrong, this is my go-to tune of the moment, but this is some seriously deep shit. That same undertone can be felt throughout both sets. Even the Blondie classic “Heart of Glass” has been turned into this devious and dark deep house tune that frankly works surprisingly well. I think it may be the whole Lana-tization (Lana Del Ray) of the current house scene that’s affecting these productions. That’s not to say there aren’t some happy moments in-between the grooves, but if you’re looking to get your roller boogie on, this ain’t it LOL.
Did I ever tell you about the way I wanna feel Giving it up and fly away Did I ever tell you about the good times that you get Don't know if you got another day
Hey! I'm in the wrong club Listening to this shit Hey! I'm in the wrong life, someone get me out of it
I’ve got the second part of this moody monster heading your way tomorrow so make sure you check back. Until then …ENJOY!

Happy Friday everybody! The temp starts off warm with the Sam Smith slow-cooker “Stay With Me,” but quickly builds from there. Duke Dumont’s “I Got U” get’s yet another remix treatment by none other than MK, who’s been doing his thing in house music since 1993. While not as well-known or famous as some of his 90's cohorts, he’s most famous for his remix of the Nightcrawlers “Push the Feeling On.” He has subsequently produced tracks for Pitbull and Will Smith.
Wise D & Kobe pluck the late 80's acid house classic "Sexpress" and give it an upbeat house treatment, while Block & Crown take the disco classic by Odyssey “Native New Yorker” (a personal all-time favorite) titled "New York City Girls" and stamped out a fierce filtered-disco thump, maintaining the soul of the original while dumping most of the lyrics, save the chorus.
Tommy Trash updates the early millennial number one “Don’t Call Me Baby” by Madison Avenue with a fresh vibe that breathes new life into this classic. Mark Knight takes on Kylie’s “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” with a really deep and dark groove on “Your Love.”
We also see the return of Miss Patti Brooks (of TGIF fame) on “I Like the Way You Move,” a powerful house-stomper like you've never heard from her before. That song also features backing vocals by former Supreme Scherrie Payne with Joyce Vincent-Wilson and Pamela Vincent of Tony Orlando and Dawn fame from the early 70s.
As promised, I dropped the Party Favorz edited version of Frankie Knuckles’ final mix for Michael Jackson’s “Love Never Felt So Good,” then begin to lower the temp once more with Nile Rodgers' “Do What You Wanna Do” and the major deep house hit “Waves” by Mr. Probz.Fri, 27 Jun 2014 - 1h 25min - 121 - Beach House 2K14 Volume 1It’s time for that funkydiscohouseshit …YEAH, BABY! Comprised of the finest disco, funk, soul and deep house of the moment, the 2K14 Beach House is on FIRE this year!!! In fact, I couldn’t contain the fire and it ended up spreading into a second set, which will be dropping on Friday. Just in time for your 4th of July holiday, I’m letting loose some serious sunshine for the beach lovers and the pool-side margarita-sipping divas.
No doubt when you do a quick scan of the track-list, you will notice two notable songs that may leave you scratching your head. Before you go off half-cocked and start sending me nasty messages about why I mucked-up your summertime fun with Katy Perry, I suggest you listen to it first. Her latest single Birthday was released with a gazillion remixes. Mark Picchiotti took the opportunity to throw in not one but three different mixes (house, disco, and beach), all of which are exceptional and surprisingly fit the song really well. Besides, with “beach” in the title, it was a surefire bet it would be included.
The other oddity you may ask yourself is why didn’t I include the Frankie Knuckles amazing remix of Michael Jackson’s Love Never Felt So Good. Honestly, I have been impressed with all of the remixes for this song and DJ Kue’s filtered-disco version was just too delicious to leave out. So, Frankie’s take (which was his very last remix before his passing) IS included in volume 2 coming out Friday. While his version was left intact by Eric Kupper, I had no choice but to do some creative editing to reel the song in because this ain’t the 90s no more. Regardless, his final offering is a fitting tribute to the King of Pop and another gold star in the legacy that Frankie leaves behind.
Finally, DO NOT MISS out on the last track Jubel by Kingande. This song is an OMFG summer tune! The original version came out last year but Ultra picked up the distributing rights for the US and commissioned several remixes for the song. I fully expect Jubel to lodge itself into the most memorable summer songs of 2014. Expect to be hearing either this or the amazing Tube & Berger remix on the upcoming Hot Mess summer EDM set I’ve got scheduled later in July.
I’ve got an interview with my company for a management position later this afternoon so everybody wishes me luck. After all, I need the money so I can keep feeding your rapacious appetites for all things Party Favorz [grin]. I’ll be back on Friday with volume 2 of Beach House.
Until then …ENJOY!

It’s time for some funky, disco, house shit with the April edition of The House Sessions! I know I’m running quite a bit late today but I had a lot of work to do on the new site.
First, I wanna wish everybody a happy Easter! I hope everybody got up this morning and put on their best Easter Bonnet and hunted down some eggs [clears throat].
This is quite possibly been the nicest day in over a week around here and I’ve been inside slaving away for you folks. Ahh, the things I do for you LOL. Oh well, still gotta go out and spray away all the pollen off the patio right after this and then I can head over to the pool, pop open a cold one and chill for the rest of the day, at least until Game of Thrones comes on.
This set is for those folks that need some sunshine NOW! I know I was one of them this past week. I think I’ll finally be rolling out those Back Spins I’ve been promising all year next week.
Until then …ENJOY!

What the …? Oh yeah baby, it’s time for some more rockin reelin gotta get that disco feelin!
It’s so not like me to release another disco set less than thirty days after the last, but the winter blues and lack of sunshine have left an empty void in my soul and ANYTHING that would pick my spirits up would be a welcome departure from these cold and dreary days. Frankly, funky disco house music always does the trick, so here it is!
In fact, this set fell together so effortlessly, I felt compelled to go ahead and share it. I figured a quick adrenaline shot of some funky beats should get everyone through the rest of the season. Besides, most of the EDM coming out so far this year is either shit or sounds like something we’ve all heard 1000 times before; so that’s gonna need to bake a while longer before I go back and start combing through current releases again. I've also got a pair of Back Spins that have been sitting on my hard drive since last year that I think I’ll send up next week without any fanfare nor promotion. If you’re into classic Euro-dance then those will provide you with a nice little classic throwback the decade we all know and love called the 90s. Right now, if you’re needing a little pick-me-up, then, by all means, download this sucker and GET READY TO DANCE! Enjoy!!!

The cover art for this set was completed at the same time I made last year’s Disco Lounge. Originally, it was intended to be a companion set to the original but lack of additional songs worthy on inclusion forced me to set it aside until I could fill in the pieces. Those gaps have now been closed and I am pleased to finally be dropping a set I would liken to sophisticated house.
I just closed shop on the first EDM set for 2014 and am putting the finishing touches on the Winter Edition. Expect something new the next two weeks.
Hope your weekend is going well and I’ll be back next weekend with something new for the EDM folks. Until then…ENJOY!

I thought it would be apropos to close summer out with a DFH (Disco-Funk-House) set.
As you glance over the track list you may see some familiar mainstream names in there and think that your humble host may have a screw loose. While that part may be debatable LOL, I know that which I’ve included in this mix.
You can thank Daft Punk for opening the door this year for that “pure” disco sound and making it once again acceptable to the masses. If not for them, Enrique, Kylie, Bruno would have never been re-worked into a simple disco biscuit (officially or otherwise).
I don’t expect disco in its original form to catch on to point of mainstream domination, much like EDM has but it has opened the door for this generation to go back a couple of decades to rethink what they’re doing now. Let’s face it, the EDM scene is on the verge of imploding on itself as the boutique and mainstream labels all chase after the same dollar without really trying to evolve. Hell, Tiesto has become a name only for marketing and money while his apprentices churn out the mixes.
So it is refreshing to enjoy some seriously old-school throwback by some mainstream artists. Mix that up with today’s disco-house and you got yourself a party for this Labor Day weekend. ENJOY!

I realize that I had promised some circuit classics this week but I’ve been really sick and delirious lately.
So I called the doctor on the telephone and said doctor, doctor, please I got this feeling rockin' and a'reelin' tell me, what can it be,is it some new disease? He said no son, you’ve got a case of the boogie fever, it’s been goin’ around.
That pretty much explains the problems I was having this past week. I just had to let it work itself out of my system.The end result of my delirium is a lip-smacking, booty shaking, roof-raising disco meltdown. I tried cooling it down in the middle but the temps shot right back up again into a hedonistic frenzy before finally yielding its mesmeric sway over my body. ENJOY!
I had a total of 18 tracks in this set. When I went back to split them up for the cue file, there were only 17. One song “Read My Lips” by Crazibiza had mysteriously disappeared from the mix and from my hard drive. The fever from the devil’s grip was worse than I thought LOL!

Santa is pretty much fed up and has decided to sit this year out and just relax on the beaches of Qualcomba. The elves are on strike, Rudolph is nearing his expiration date and Mrs. Santa has been shacking up with some of the elves. He can’t afford one of those new jet-propelled sleighs to compete against UPS and FedEx and with their cheap China mass produced toys with toxic chemicals made with slave labor, Wal-Mart forced him to lay off half his workforce (hence the elf strike). He left a note at little Suzy’s house underneath the plate of milk and cookies that read “take this job and shove it you whiny little brat.”
Sun, fun and some hot babes are what he’s looking forward to as he retires to these exotic islands. Yeah, he just wants to kick back some fruit cocktails, smoke some of that amazing spliff he picked up in Colorado and just listen to some fine house music.
Well Santa, I’ve got the perfect soundtrack for your retirement. Let’s start off with some old school funk and then slide into some filtered disco and wrap it around some tasty vocal house and I’ll have you wiggling your toes and ho, ho, ho-ing night and day. So sit back and relax. Then get up and boogie the night away. You’ve earned it. ENJOY!

The weekend is here and that makes it an excellent time for some booty bumping grade A house! I took a little bit of a turn with this set; instead of drowning it with a bunch of filtered disco (of which there is plenty to be sure), I smothered it with some fabulous vocal house and sprinkled a couple of left-fielders to top it off.
Overall, I’m really pleased with this set which has been road-tested; smartphone tested and home stereo tested. It past in all areas of sound, song choice and get high marks for best all around. Then again, all of my sets go through that rigorous testing. If they miss any of those benchmarks, then it’s back to the drawing board until they get high marks and my stamp of approval. What can I say? I put a lot into each and every set and don’t skip on overall quality just to get it out.
I hope you all enjoy this latest heaping serving of house. I aim to please. Next week we’ll be taking a massive detour to the realm of the unexpected before jumping into the Fall Edition. Until then …ENJOY!

I finally had a couple of days off and decided to go ahead and put out the Beach House 2012 for everyone. Friday and Saturday I’ll be swamped, so I thought this might be the best of course of action since I’ve been pretty delayed at getting stuff out recently.
Since 2007, I’ve been putting out these Beach House sets for some cool funky summer fun. Don’t confuse these with the Hed Kandi Beach House series, cause they ain’t got nothing on this. In fact, I just previewed the latest 3 set version by them and frankly, it was a big yawn fest. What was once a great International house music label is nothing more than a mere shadow of its former self. Hate to say, but they just don’t have the magic they once so proudly displayed.
As for this mix, be prepared for several re-engineered classic disco selections as well as originals. This is surefire poolside fun!
That’s about all I got for today. I’ll start working on the two Summer Edition sets I have in the works for the next couple of weeks. Until the next time …ENJOY!

Ready to unleash some electrifying Funky Disco House Shit? You're in the right place because Party Favorz is back with another scintillating mix that's about to raise the temperature of your weekend pool parties, rooftop soirees, and late-night dancefloor escapades. From exclusive remixes to unmissable classics, we've got a sonic tapestry that will dazzle your ears and move your feet.
Speaking of exclusives, don't even think about skipping "Lick The Bush" by Kaskade & Skrillex. This track features a retro disco loop slipped right into its core, a heartfelt salute to our classic disco fanatics. Then, there's John Julius Knight's "Save (Big Love)," an exhilarating rework that elevates the original and spins it into pure dancefloor gold.
Now, let's pivot to some additional tracks you'll want to keep in rotation. Immerse yourself in Crazibiza's "Take Control," a modern twist on funky house that will kick the euphoria up a notch. As if that isn't enough, dive into "I Love The Music" by Seamus Haji and Cevin Fisher—transformed into an irresistibly groovy anthem thanks to the remix talents of Manuel De La Mare and Alex Kenji. And while we're on the topic of reimagined classics, you don't want to miss "You Used To Hold Me 2012" by Ralphi Rosario and Xaviera Gold, spiced up with the DJ Chus and David Penn Remix. This revamped tune is like a double shot of espresso for your Funky Disco House Shit playlist.
As we groove through this new set, it's crucial to remember the legendary icons that brought us here. This mix is dedicated to Donna Summer, the irreplaceable QUEEN of DISCO. We've lost too many greats,Sat, 19 May 2012 - 1h 19min - 111 - Summer Lovin’

It’s been a long and stressful three months since your last vacation and all you want to do is leave town and head to your favorite beach resort. You’re thinking one week of sun, fun, beaches, cocktails and maybe even get yourself a nice little cabana boy for some late night action. You arrive at your destination and the first thing you want to do is check-in to your hotel, throw your suitcases on the bed and grab your bikini, slip it on and then head out to the beach for some personal chill time.
As you lay there on the beach, the beautiful blue ocean suddenly turns black and something large is heading towards shore. You can’t quite tell what it is, but it’s BIG. You stand up to get a better look and in two minutes, a large oil covered whale beaches itself, only to die within the hour right at your feet.
Okay, maybe the beach thing was not the best idea. So you head back to the hotel and decide the swimming pool will suffice. You lay down on the deck, order a Pina Colada from the super hot Latin server (probably about 21 years old) and think to yourself, I ’ll have that for dessert later this evening. You slip on your earbuds and scroll down to Party Favorz Beach House Edition v1 and press play. As you begin to take in the rays and listen to the smooth Miami house music, you quickly fall asleep. One hour later, you wake up only to find you’ve been asleep way too long.
In all the commotion from the beach incident, you forgot to put on sunscreen and your body has now been ravaged with excruciating red-hot pain. You now spend the rest of the week covered in cream to soothe the blistering swells that have engulfed your body. That hot waiter; well, he had to be put on a warmer plate until the next vacation.
You begin to realize that you’ve lost an entire week of much-...Wed, 14 Jul 2010 - 1h 19min - 100 - T-Dance Edition 2010 Volume 3 | Take 2

Friday has finally arrived and once again, I am in a stellar mood, if not in fact at the top of my game! I don’t know if it’s the great sex, cardio or the quadruple white mochas (which will be seeing the end of days shortly), but everything in my universe just feels right these days. All I know is that it sure feels great to feel fabulous!
For those that closely follow this series, you may have picked up on the re-work of the 80s disco classic by D Train You’re the One For Me or the early millennium update of Georgie Porgie’s house classic Life Goes On. Maybe you picked up on Jody Watley now performing house music for adults or even the return of Miss Moné and her tell it like it is, big vocals on the DJ Meme produced Love Don’t Pay the Rent. Maybe you got tickled pink when you heard the bonus track mashup of Christina vs. Madonna. Whatever it is, you’re sure to be delighted with the follow-up.
I’m giving everybody sunshine on a cloudy day, I’m putting rainbows in your cheerios and I’m sending out a love to keep you warm! It’s supersonic, it’s funky, it’s fresh, it’s T-DANCE BABY! So break out the margarita machine, pack the ice chest full of beer, head to the beach or stay at home and fire up the pit! Summer is almost here, but what better time than now to do what???? I’m sorry, but I CAN’T HEAR YOU!!! You betcha, ENJOY!

Surprise! Surprise! Going Forward, the Millennium Edition will be rolled into the Chrome Edition. By doing this, I won’t have to limit myself to a decade and will be able to grab whatever I’m feeling at any given moment. As such, I’ve decided to delay the release of the next couple of volumes until next week and replace this weeks post with T-Dance. I don’t think most if any of you will mind.
In other news, there are even bigger things coming to Party Favorz in the near future. Mainly, I’ve decided to give the BPM Edition its own platform. The numbers for that series are quite high and I believe that it can sustain its own site. Think of it as one of your favorite characters from a sitcom that leaves the show for a spin-off of that same character. BPM is still going to be around, it’s just going to have its own home.
For the premium subscribers that have been with me since February and even those that recently signed up, I’ll be sending each of you an email in the near future with an added bonus for your support. When you get something from me, I highly suggest you read it and not delete it. I won’t be fielding questions regarding the change after it goes into effect.
I don’t want to get too bogged down in this post as I fear many of you have ADD and will just skip to the bottom anyway LOL. I can’t blame you, I have a tendency to ramble in my posts, so I just wanted to stay on point and keep everyone abreast of the new changes coming soon.
I’ll be back on Friday or Saturday with part 2. Until then, enjoy!

Happy Friday everybody! First off, I have some good news and some bad news. Which one would you like first? Since I can’t hear you, I’ll go with the obvious and deliver the good news first.
The good news is that I’m delivering the third installment of T-Dance 2010 v2 and due to circumstances beyond my control, it’s OTH. That’s right! All you freeloaders out there get a pass this go around. It’s fresh, it’s funky and all I can say is burn, baby BURN! You’ll get it once you hear the opening track.
Now on to the bad news. The hosting service for my podcasts (Podbean) has yet to respond to my request to have my feeds reinstated. Over the years, there have been so many issues with this company to numerous to enumerate, that I’ll just stick with the current problem. I’ve been trying to set up a single feed for RSS and email subscribers. Great, all done. However, I also wanted to use the same feed for premium and standard podcast for my iTunes folks (and there are a lot of you). I have isolated the problem to Feedburner (who I use to burn my feed). For some reason, it’s creating enclosures for the cue files on the premium podcasts and showing it as a podcast in the feed. As a result, iTunes is not picking up those podcasts. I have gone back and changed the option in Feedburner to only create enclosures for audio files and then I re-synched my feed. Even though I posted a question to this problem in their help forum, seldom if ever do you get a helpful response from anyone, so I’ll have to wait about 24 hours to see if this wi...Fri, 23 Apr 2010 - 1h 19min - 97 - T-Dance Edition 2010 Volume 2 | Take 2

STRESS, STRESS and more STRESS! If I’d stop screwing around with things maybe I wouldn’t have so much of the aforementioned. I’m in the process of consolidating into a single feed for the site. I don’t want to announce the actual feed that will be used for iTunes or subscribing to Friday’s post because I still need to test it. It should finish processing by tomorrow. I just need to ensure that both standard and premium podcast will show up in iTunes. I apologize for all the missteps, but trial and error is the only way I ever figure things out. As it stands, it’s cost me in a big way. I’ve lost 99% of my traffic and/or followers. Nevertheless, I’m hopeful that everyone will begin filtering back over the course of the next month (fingers crossed).
Right now, it’s not about me, it’s not about this site, it’s about the music and thanks to the disco gods from above that we have that! I’m serving up some freshly sliced funky house music with a side of roof-raising, hands clapping, hallelujah gospel. Can I get an AMEN!?!!
I think I need to take a chill pill, shower and move about this gorgeous day. Staying inside and looking at my computer, hoping for something to happen ain’t helping any. If I don’t hang myself first, I’ll be back on Friday with the third installment <---joke. Until then, enjoy!
Update: I have just completely lost access to my site. I’m now getting a 404 error page not found. The voices in my head are telling me to break something,Wed, 21 Apr 2010 - 1h 14min - 96 - T-Dance Edition 2010 Volume 2 | Take 1

When I started combing through the songs that would be used in this next edition, the Disco Fairy paid me a visit and hit me with her disco stick. Shortly after, I had the overwhelming urge to get down, shake, shake, shake my booty and boogie oogie oogie. Even though I had a strong group of tunes for this set, I was in a state of trance and found myself over at Juno combing through their NuDisco section and adding things to my cart like I had just won the lottery. I was feverishly consumed with boogie fever. Soon, I had a bill that had swelled to $50. Regardless, like a first timer in a club full of hot men, I just couldn’t put on the brakes; I literally had to have it ALL!
After downloading all of my newly purchased tracks, I went right to work on this mix. A lot of these songs are not really suited for mixing or beat matching in the true sense of the word. Back in the day, I taught myself to create these amazing mixes by splicing together songs at various intervals using two Nakamichi decks. By the early 90s, I was doing it on a single minidisc player. Relying on that same method, that’s pretty much how most of this set was put together. While there is some beatmatching going on, most of this set was sliced and diced, giving the perception of a masterful mix. The beats were anywhere from 112 to 128 BPM. In order to keep a solid flow without speeding up and slowing things down, I averaged all the beats to 124 BPM which provides for a much smoother ride.
I’m not going to say this is for everyone, because it’s not.Sun, 18 Apr 2010 - 1h 38min - 95 - T-Dance Edition 2010 Volume 1 | Take 3

Sorry for the delay. Sunday was just too fabulous to pass up, so Rick and I stepped out to enjoy. Apparently, we weren’t the only ones that felt that way because all the restaurants with outdoor patios were packed. Car and foot traffic around Piedmont Park was unbelievable, but we made it through to our favorite taqueria, Frogs. Of course, with the good comes the bad. The waitress misplaced my card, so I had to call the bank and cancel it a.s.a.p. Stuff happens.
Fun turned to busy by Monday, and today is no different. So, I’m going to keep this brief and just say this is one heck of a mix! You’ll notice the inclusion of Moto Blanco mix of Mary J. Blige’s “I Am.” In a previous post, I suggested there were no official mixes and then this shows up along with a Dave Aude production as well. Guess I was wrong. I also dropped their mix of “Loubitons” by J-Lo. I don’t know what it is about Moto Blanco vs. Jennifer and Mary, but those mixes always seem to go down like a cool glass of iced tea. Always delightful and no aftertaste.
I’m working on the first Diva Series of the year, which for the most part is done. Many of the songs on the first set are pretty old and definitely need some surgery to bring them up to date. Bounced against more recent mixes, I’m having to take those down a notch so both sides can meet in the middle. It’s not that easy, but I’m up for the task. The goal is to have that first set sail smoothly without a highly compressed song screaming through your ears after something that’s considerably more subdued. I’ll work it out, I always do.
Well, I’m out of here for now. I’ll try to get these other mixes up by the weekend. Until then, enjoy!

Yet another gorgeous day here in the ATL and all I can say is life is good. Today I am serving up some more fresh and funky house music. This set and Take 3 to be released tomorrow border on a more mainstream house with a little underground and Nu Disco thrown in for good measure.
From Kaylah Marin’s massive hit “On the Floor (Oh Baby Please)” and Inaya Day’s “All I’m Sayin’ (Just Hold On)” to Boris Werner’s “Let’s Boogie” (which samples Stars on 45: Medley; I unapologetically admit to owning the original 12” from back in the day) and the absolutely beautiful “Keep On Loving Me” by Dion Mavath, there’s something here to make you think, feel and jump out of your seat!
I don’t want to spend too much time babbling as I want to get out and enjoy this day sent from the gods. I hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend. I’ll be back tomorrow with the third and final installment.
Until then, ENJOY!
UPDATE!! Anyone that subscribed after the release of the BPM Edition 2010 v1 should now be able to download those podcasts with your username and password. Sorry for the inconvenience.

What exactly is soulful, funky and Nu Disco have to do with each other? IT’S TIME FOR SOME T-DANCE BABY! Sorry, I didn’t mean to scream at everyone, but I’ve been listening to these mixes for over a week and just can’t get enough. They put the sunshine back in my life when there wasn’t any, and I mean that literally. Thankfully, the ATL has been sporting that bright fiery ball in the sky for the past several days. So if where you live ain’t quite there yet, this should help you get through the rest of winter. Trust me, better weather is just around the corner.
I’ve got three sets out of these mixes and for those that like to burn them to disc, all of them fall just under the 80-minute threshold. This first one is on the house (pun intended) and the rest will be part of the premium content. I’m not going to sit here and tell everyone this little experiment is working fabulously because it’s not and I didn’t expect that it would. What I will say is that it is working well enough to at least cover about 2/3 of my expenses and that alone makes it worth continuing without breaking my piggy bank (what little I have). So for now, I’ll keep on keeping on with the site and continue tracking its performance over the next couple of months.
Be request, I’ve got a very special Diva Series on tap for next week followed by the next installment of the BPM Edition and then the first two sets of the Chrome Edition: Best of the Millennium | The First 10 Years. Obviously, I’ve got my plate full and I’ll do my best to keep up. Judging by some of the promos that have been coming out and with WMC just around the corner, it looks like it’s going to be a very HOT spring and summer; just the way I like it!
I’ll do my best to get part 2 out tomorrow, followed by the third installment on Sunday.Fri, 19 Feb 2010 - 1h 19min - 92 - T-Dance Edition 2009 Volume 5 | Cool Down

I know I promised this for Tuesday, but I have been a VBB (Very Busy Boy) this week. Half the time, I didn't know if I was coming or going. Despite that, I've already managed to knock out the final BPM Edition 2009 of the year and will start on the Holiday Edition 2009 tomorrow. Rest assured, I'm not sitting on my tush doing anything. You folks can expect to be seeing a lot of posts between now and Christmas Eve. So don't think I'm spamming you, I'm just running a little bit behind and will be playing catch-up this next week.
In the meantime, I'm serving up the long overdue "Cool Down" mix of the final 2009 T-Dance Edition. There's a heaping amount of soul and gospel in this set. To keep it interesting, I tried my best to be very discerning about what went into this final mix. I've been pretty much listening to this and Adam Lambert in my car for the last week and a half while driving around town trying to get things done. I can assure you, I wasn't Christmas shopping either. Santa hasn't visited the Party Favorz household in over three years. My guess is that Rick and I have either been naughty or it's because we're no longer listed in the phone book LOL.
I love the soothing tempo and soulful vocals, which did a fantastic job of calming me while in heavy traffic in and around town. So much so, I kept my birdie to myself, even in situations where it was warranted to let it loose and fly high and proud. Instead, I would just say "Merry Christmas" to the offending idiot on the cell phone, who would speed up to cut in front of me and then proceed to go 40 mph or that jack@$$ that damn...Sat, 12 Dec 2009 - 1h 36min - 91 - T-Dance Edition 2009 Volume 5 | Boil Over

Well, I guess nobody read my "Terms of Use" last post except one person who sent an email. It took me over an hour and a half to put together and frankly, I thought it was pretty damn funny. Then again, maybe I don't share the same humor as everyone else. Anywho, I won't bore anyone with the details of this mix. Just expect funkier, soulful house music with a hefty dose of disco loaded on top. I'll have the cooldown mix out by Tuesday and then I'll be ramming the final BPM through so I can get to the Holiday Edition. Until then, enjoy.

I found out a couple of hours ago that my iTunes page had been taken down for no particular reason. I tested the feed via iTunes and it is a valid feed, so I'm pretty miffed as to why this happened. I've since gone back and resubmitted my podcast to be added back into the iTunes store, which should take about 24 hours for approval. In the meantime, you can still download the mix via iTunes by going into the store and selecting "advanced" at the top next to the "help" button. Then select "subscribe to podcast" and then copy and paste https://partyfavorz.podbean.com/feed into the empty field and submit it. It will ask you if you want to subscribe and just select "yes" and it should automatically start downloading the latest podcast. You should be able to see all of my podcasts and can select which specific ones you want to download. I'm sorry for the mix-up, but truth be told this has nothing to do with anything that I've done. I've posted a question on their forum and am hoping to get a response back so this doesn't happen again. I'll be sure to let everyone know when it gets re-added to the iTunes store in hopes that you guys will go back and add some sweet comments again, as I'm certain all that is now lost.
Anywho, I decided to stay up past my bedtime and go ahead and post the second half of my latest T-Dance Edition. Whereas the first mix was a hodgepodge of different house styles, this one is for the purest amongst you. Soulful, funky with a little mainstream fun is pretty much what you can expect in this set.
I'll be taking Wednesday off to post some other news about upcoming artists and promotions they may have in store for you. I expect to be back on Thursday with the final Autumn Edition, just in time for everyone's Labor Day mayhem festivities.Tue, 01 Sep 2009 - 1h 22min - 88 - T-Dance Edition 2009 Volume 4 (Take 1)

I want to apologize for freaking any of you out about the surgery. I'd swear I brought this up a couple of months ago. Regardless, this is a good thing, not bad. I'm not dying, suffering, or otherwise. What this is for me is a game changer in my life. I am fortunate to have met a physician who is going to have it done for me pro bono, which is the reason school was nixed this semester. Insurance won't cover the procedure and when an opportunity like this slaps you in the face, you stand up and pay attention. So, all is well and no need for concern.
I also thought I'd take a little time to publicize my stats for the last 30 days at Podbean. Currently, I am 100,000+ downloads and streaming of my sets since the beginning of the year. More importantly, here are my stats for the last 30 days alone:

As promised, I'm sending up my latest funky/soulful house set sprinkled with a hefty dose of Nu Disco. As you can see, I brought lollipop girl out of retirement and played dress-up Barbie by changing out her tube top and shorts. After all, I couldn't have her smelling like a skank.LOL! I was jamming to this last night and am all about the music in this mix. Frankly, I think this is a nice counter to the circuit-driven Autumn Edition that I'll be juxtaposing it with throughout the week. Take notice of the Freemasons' 2009 mix of "Love On My Mind". Originally released in 2005, this worldwide smash gets a makeover and lends more to the original #1 disco classic "This Time Baby" from which it sampled. Unfortunately, Freemasons dropped that part in at the end of the song, making it more of a cock tease of what's possibly to come between now and next summer.

The final mix in this year's Beach House series is a culmination of the two previous mixes but with a more funky attitude and some Latin and Jazzy beats thrown in for good measure. I guess this pretty much does it for now but rest assured I am currently compiling the Summer Edition, which I'm hoping to have out late next week. I have a HUGE week ahead of me with something big happening every day. I will no doubt be a very busy boy so we'll see how I can rectify that and manage to get the next series out. Since I want everyone to have a slammin' summer, I'll do my best.
I'll be bringing you guys some kick-ass circuit tunes soon enough. Until then, have a fabulous weekend and as always...Enjoy!

Originally, the T-Dance version of Beach House was going to be two very long mixes, but I decided to go ahead and break it up into three. Granted, anyone with a little know-how can stack each one right after the other because the whole thing mixes flawlessly. I spared nothing in this mix and you can rest assured that you're getting the latest and greatest from this summer's house music scene. All the usual suspects are included: from top-notch producers like DJ Spen and the Muthafunkaz, Richard Earnshaw, Mark Picchiotti, Joey Negro, Moto Blanco and 7th Heaven to top-notch talents like Lisa Shaw, Heather Johnston, Michelle Weeks, Dawn Tallman, Shena and newcomer Mishal Moore, you will want for not. Granted, you may notice that DJ Meme is nowhere to be found. That's because his remix of "Sittin' on Top of the World" by the Sunburst Band doesn't show up until next week. Such is life. I've also included a fabulous Frankie Knuckles remix of "Rock with You" the closest I'll come to honoring the memory of Michael Jackson.
While the overall tone of this first mix is pretty subdued and laid-back, I jolt you back into reality with an updated version of Evelyn Thomas' classic 'High Energy' courtesy of the always fabulous Almighty Production team, late in the mix. I employ a similar tactic in mix three just to keep people on their toes. Overall, this is one fresh and funky mix with a lot of soul that's perfect for relaxing around the pool or at the beach. I'll try to get everything out by Friday, but I'm not making any promises. Until then.enjoy!

I'm serving up the final installment of this edition and need to take a much-needed break. However, since Rick is out of town for the next week or so, why bother? So, I've designated this next week as DIVA week. I've already done some preliminary mixing and as difficult as some of this old stuff is, I think it'll pretty much rock. I just need to go back and do a bunch of prep work on the mixes to get them into high-quality shape for your listening pleasure. That part is very time consuming but the added value to the sound is 200% worth the effort. I'm not giving out any names or dates; let's just say they'll show up when they show up.
Right now, I've got a bunch of hard-hitting funk and soul for you guys. I'm not going to spend a lot of space this go around, so I'll just throw out some of the hard hitters here: Danny Howells and Dick Trevor with Erire "Dusk Til Dawn", Inaya Day and Ralf Gum "Reap", The Collective vs. Peyton "Promised Land", Sweet Mercy and Veba "Take Your Time (Do It Right)", Kaskade "It's You, It's Me", Ollie Brooke with Nica Brooke "Fireflies" and The Muthafunkaz with Sheila Ford and Biblical Jones "Galaxy" are all personal favorites. Frankly, there's not a bad tune in the bunch and everything flows as smoothly as a glass of iced tea on a hot summer day.
I hope everyone enjoys their holiday weekend. I'll back very soon with the first of the next DIVA installment. Take care, have fun, stay cool and as always.enjoy!

Transitioning into the more soulful side of house, we're working our way up to the weekend. Starting things off, we've got the always amazing vocal talents of Andrea Love with the Praise Cats. "Shined On Me" is a wonderful slice of gospel house full of meaning and uplifting spirituality. In fact, the first four songs pretty much cover that same territory with some heavy hitters like Ron Caroll, Robert Owens and yes, even the fabulous Evelyn (Champagne) King who climbed back into the business last year.
Switching gears, Joey Negro takes us on a piano-pounding house stomping ride with "Ride the Rhythm" followed by a surprisingly successful Prince remake "When Doves Cry" by Yass. Dropping the tempo a bit, we move into some deep house with Jake Island and Alec Sun Dre's "Can You Feel It" followed by the uplifting "Don't Stop" by Kwality Kontrol and Alana Bridgewater.
I decided to break away and move into the garage funk of Joey Negro's 'Sunburst Band' and "Man of War". If I had to describe this song, I'd say it was a mashup between Isaac Hayes and Edwin Starr. Steeped in 70s funk, Joey has a knack for making something old sound fresh again. In order to keep things moving, I spice things up a bit with the Latin sounds of Da Lata and Diabel Cissokho's "This Is Not Your Job" and the classic "Cada Vez by Negrocan. Not to be complacent, I quickly move into the old-time (we're talking 20s maybe 30s) style of "Why Don't You" by GramophoneDzie. Clearly, this is some sort of mashup stripped from a very old 78 (your great grandparent's records) and sliced and sampled together with some house. The end result is amazing!
Finally, I slip back into some new jack funk with "I Gotcha Back" by Charles Dockins before closing it out with the soulful sounds of Byron Stingily's latest "100% Stalkin...Thu, 21 May 2009 - 82 - T-Dance Edition 2009 Volume 3 (Take 2)

Keeping up with the theme of take 1, this mix remains on the more commercial funky side of the T-Dance series. The first three songs are a bit tougher and could have easily fit in with the BPM mixes. Sometimes, I don't know why I move certain songs to the T-Dance folder as opposed to the BPM folder, but I suppose there must be a method to my madness.
Regardless, Musiq Soulchild and Mary J. Blige are currently riding high with the very hot "IfULeave". This former #1 on Masterbeat's club charts is just now making its move up the Billboard charts and I expect will ultimately land the top spot sometime this summer. Ono's "I'm Not Getting Enough" is an unlikely candidate for this mix, but I have to say, Eddie Amador took this song in a completely different direction than the rest of the mixes. While he retains the overall darkness of the original, the pumps in this groovy house vibe throughout thus qualifying the song to be included.
On the campier side, Natalie Powers delivers a reliable interpretation of Laura Branigan's "Shattered Glass" and the Klubkidz with Sam Solace equally turn in a reliable rendition of "It's My Time" originally performed by Jade Ewen, winner of the 2009 Eurovision contest. If it sounds like a Broadway show tune, that's because it was written by Andrew Lloyd Weber and Diana Warren. The funny thing is, I can't help but think of Diana Ross' "It's My Turn" every time I hear it. I don't know, you be the judge.
Moving along, Stephane and 3G deliver a serious booty shaker with "We Don't Wanna Put In." Mood Velvet and Janet Gray tackle a remake of the Hot Chocolate classic "Every 1's a Winner" set to what sounds like the original mix for Faith Evans' "Mesmerized" by Freemasons.
Nevertheless, it works quite well and since it's been long enough,Wed, 20 May 2009 - 81 - T-Dance Edition 2009 Volume 3 (Take 1)

Are you ready to get your disco on? I said, are you ready to get your DISCO ON??? Because if not, then this mix isn't for you. Just in time for your Memorial Day weekend mischief, I'm delivering two heaping servings of some of the freshest, phattest, and funkiest slices of heaven this side of the galaxy or more like intergalactic space funk that's so fierce, even your mom will have to wiggle it, just a little bit!
Starting things off, Joe T. Vannelli delivers an updated version of the classic "Doctor Love" originally performed by First Choice. For all purposes, this version is titled "Doctor House" and definitely sets the mood for the rest of the mix. This, of course, is followed by Lonnie Gordon's 1991 classic "I'm Gonna Catch You" and with 7th Heaven at the helm, you can't go wrong.
We also have Ricki Lee's latest "Wiggle It" which basically turns the table on the 90's house classic originally performed by 2 in a Room. Other notable ditties worth mentioning are Lenny B's latest "Turn Up the Radio" which is a discofied version of the Sylvane mix, which recently appeared on my latest BPM edition, and Sabrina Johnston taking an old church hymn "Peace in the Valley" and turning it into a disco floor stomper. Two other songs you should keep an eye on, only because you'll be hearing them a lot this summer are Kurd Maverick and Sam Obernik's "Love Emergency" and the Pussycat Dolls' "Hush Hush". With the chorus "If you should fall, fall for me. Stick around I'm what you need. I'm not asking for eternity. It's just a little love emergency" "Love Emergency" is a surefire winner! Woo, Daddy, it's getting HOT in h-e-r-e! I guarantee you, the boys will be clamoring for this one.
Now you may be asking yourselves. Pussycat Dolls? Followed by your second question, Dave Aude?Tue, 19 May 2009 - 80 - T-Dance Edition 2009 Volume 2 (Take 2)

I never thought in a million years that I would be forced to remove a DJ Meme or Mark Pichiotti tune from my mix, but that day has arrived. It's not even because they were bad songs; on the contrary, they were quite stellar.
Unfortunately, I have to look at two things when I'm forced to start consolidating a mix to get it down from say three sets to two: 1) Will the song work in a variety of areas allowing me to use it properly 2) Is it really worth salvaging? Of course, the first question is the most important, because if it doesn't flow well then question #2 is rather pointless. I just hope the house gods show some forgiveness this go around.
Regardless, there is plenty of brand spanking new DJ Meme contained in the two sets to keep the wolves at bay. The one song that was removed will resurface in the future "Catching Up with DJ Meme" set I have planned for early May. Right now I'm waiting on one new mix of his that is about to be released by Joey Negro's 'Sunburst Band' "Sitting On Top of the World". Once that arrives I'll get down to making what should be a very outstanding set of DJ Meme mixes dating back several years. This is something I've had planned for a while because I know he is currently working with his own band, much like Joey Negro which may very well be touring this summer; something definitely worth watching out for. In the meantime, check out DJ Meme in the studio with his orchestra working out the arrangement for the song. Warning! You may slobber yourself, wet with anticipation.
For now, I'm serving up some delicious funky house on the soulful tip with some jazzy elements to keep it fresh. Trust me, it doesn't disappoint. I want to dedicate this mix to those followers of Party Favorz from Colorado. I realize many parts of the state are buried under...Sat, 18 Apr 2009 - 79 - T-Dance Edition 2009 Volume 2 (Take 1)

Originally this was going to be a three-mix set. I had thrown in some experimental house into the mixes that I really enjoyed but was concerned that many of you may not be ready to go on that journey with me just yet.
Besides, this has been one of the longest winters in recent memory and I think people need a healthy dose of summer to help improve their mindset. However, I did manage to keep a few songs that I think you can easily digest.
Whether it's the jazzy renderings of Kerri Chandler's "Track 1 Revisited", the Earth, Wind & Fire stylized "Higher High" by Ralf Gum and Daniel Thomas, or the all-out disco romp of Liquid Gold's "Dance Yourself Dizzy" these are all elements I have not used before and there are certainly more twists in the second take of this set scheduled for a Saturday release. Nevertheless, they all gel quite well into this stylized funky, and soulful set that will have you relaxing one minute and up on your feet the next. There are no losers here, just pure joy!
I did want to make one little side note about the Liquid Gold song. LG was a disco group out of England that in 1979 had a top 5 disco hit "My Baby's Baby" on the Parachute Label, which was a subsidiary of you guessed it, the famous Casablanca Records. "Dance Yourself Dizzy" was the follow-up song released by the group later that year and peaked at #26 in 1980.
For the most part, I think this song pretty much fell under the radar and I was surprised to see two outstanding remixes for it (7th Heaven and Yomanda), instead of their first (and only) memorable hit. After all, "My Baby's Baby" was also a top twenty hit on the pop charts.
Regardless, "Dance Yourself Dizzy" has all the entrapments of pure cheezy disco and will no doubt have you on your feet spinning around while the mirro...Fri, 17 Apr 2009 - 78 - T-Dance Edition 2009 Volume 1 (Take 2)

As promised, I'm serving up a second slice of some of my favorite house from 2008 mingled in with some fresh new funky tunes of the moment. I see our good friend David from Arizona is really digging it and even managed to make me jealous with his 70-degree temps.
Sometimes I long for the days I lived in the Rio Grande Valley, where we had three seasons a year (hot, hotter and hottest), but after one hour there, I'm ready to leave (no offense mom and dad). That's okay, the ripe warm days are on the way.
Besides, who says you can't enjoy summer now? Pick up some J.C., limes, triple sec, and Mexican beer (I love Indio but it's not available in the states so Bohemia and lime will do), go down to the market, and get some fajitas, avocados, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and tortillas and you can have your own summer party right in the middle of winter.
Heck, you can even go down to the tanning salon and put some color on if you want to make it authentic.LOL. We've got a few friends coming over tonight, so I think the first part will be a hit. Think of it as a holdover until the actual season get's here.
In the meantime, immerse yourself in some fresh uplifting house.it'll put you in a good mood for the weekend. I'll be back next week with the BPM Edition v2.
Until then, have a fabulous weekend, and as always, ENJOY!

Surprise, surprise! Not only was I able to wrap everything up this week, but I also managed to bang out the first installment of the T-Dance series for 2009. First and foremost, it's important for me to pull back on the number of mixes I'm making per series. By doing that, I actually get to sit back and enjoy my completed work, something that I've been doing all week.
Second, I've got enough to make the next BPM mix and I don't want that folder to get overcrowded by holding off. So, that will be on my agenda for next week, followed by the much delayed 2001 Classix Edition and possibly a new Diva mix (though I haven't decided who will get top honors this go around), the next System Edition, and the Spring Edition by Easter.
This mix is comprised of about half favorites from last year and a half of spanking new tunes. While I won't say that I'll never have some soulful tunes in these mixes, most of what I'm hearing right now isn't moving me in the least. Besides, I really wanted to make something fun, funky, and uplifting and I do believe I have achieved that. Frankly, these two mixes hit the spot; however, be warned of possible hallucinogenic-induced fantasies featuring hard bikini-clad bodies lying on the beach while sipping a margarita.
I know, I know it's still cold in many parts of the world (including here), but every day keeps getting closer to Spring. In fact, mother nature has been kind enough to slip in a few of those days this past week, and for that I'm grateful. Nevertheless, it's gonna be 25 degrees tonight, so back to reality.
I hope everyone likes this slice of Summer goodness as much as I do. I'll be back tomorrow with part two. Until then, ENJOY!

At least, I'm in the home stretch with only one more to go. This is a lot of fun, but it can sure wear you out. Looking at my Podbean account, I'm going to have to start clearing some stuff out to make room for the rest of the December mixes (something I don't like to do). As a result, the Blender Edition has been canceled. In fact, after my next post on Tuesday or so, I plan on taking a week off before bringing out the Holiday Edition. This gives me some time to focus on some other things that need attention (mainly my computer and workstation). I promise to do my best to split the Holiday and Year-End mixes up into something more manageable and exercise some restraint and/or self-editing in the final mixes of the year. Really.
As for this mix, all I can say is WOW! This is holy hotness smothered in some smooth soul and layered with some serious funk. We get not one, but two seriously smoldering DJ Meme mixes whose brand of neo-disco is sweeping the dance world one club at a time. This Groove Junkies take on the First Choice classic "Dr. Feelgood" with Meme doing the remix honors is nothing short of brilliant! I'm also serving up the latest by Kristine W and the much sought-after updated classic by Asha "JJ Tribute 2008" both with 7th Heaven doing the remix honors. I want to thank a very special someone for floating that song well before its official release.
You'll also notice that between these two mixes, there is an abundance of Richard Earnshaw and Muthafunkaz mixes. Not only have they been prolific in their output, but the quality is nothing short of stellar. As a result, they have both been added to my "Heroes" section of producers that I most admire.
Note for note and song for song, this is one badass mix and if this doesn't ease your worries this holiday season, then nothing will. So sit back and relax, cause K j A M is serving up some serious house music. As D'Layna proclaims..."HOUSE MUSIC WILL NEVER DIE!" Enjoy.

Though I don't need a special day to remember those people I've lost to this disease, it's important if only to keep it on the minds of nations and to remember that we still have a long way to go. Recent reports from the CDC show that the number of new infections in the gay community has substantially risen over the course of the past several years. Perhaps it's because there is less of a stigma associated with the disease, or maybe it's the lack of education and sense of invincibility among younger gay people. Either way, there's still no cure and no excuse for reckless behavior. Protect yourself and protect the ones you love, WRAP IT UP!
I want to dedicate this mix to a dear lost friend Orlando. I'm sorry, I didn't find out until going home for the first time in five years only to find out you passed three years earlier. Thanks to all of my "so-called" friends for letting me know ("lame" is a word that comes to mind and one of many reasons I'll never return) and dear ole mom (who didn't want to bother me). Orlando, you were loved and you WILL be remembered. Peace.
As promised, I got the next House Edition up and ready to go. I have to say that I'm totally feeling this mix and the music within. It starts off with the fabulous disco renderings of DJ Meme and then proceeds to take you on a journey of deep, funky, and soulful house. This mix definitely sets the mood for these cold, dark days. It uplifts the spirit and feels you with joy. Frankly, I think this is just what the doctor ordered to cure the holiday blues. Don't let the world bring you down because, in the end, it's all about HOUSE! Enjoy!

Title : Heal My Heart (Quentin Harris Black Heart Mix)Mon, 01 Dec 2008 - 74 - House Edition 2008 v5 (Take 4)The final installment of this series was a long time coming. I've said before that I don't like to spend too much time on my mixes, otherwise you end up with something that sounds forced. For whatever reason, I just couldn't wrap my head around this one and nothing was falling into place for me. It didn't help that several of the songs I wanted to use made for difficult transitions and would need to be keyed perfectly. In fact, this was supposed to be the third installment and the Take 3 the fourth. After several attempts, I put it to the side. Last night, I got up around 4:00 am and scrapped the whole mix and started from scratch. It's almost like a light went off in my head and the whole thing just magically came together. By 6:00 am the mix was finished. When I started putting the post together, I lost my new wireless connection that Comcast had just installed the previous day. After several attempts at re-starting, I got on the phone with them for what seemed like an eternity to get it working again. By 8:00 am, I was back in business.
However, I had not read my emails yet nor my newsletters so I decided to take a break and catch up. If you can tell by my posts yesterday, I got on my political bandwagon and started whipping out some stuff out. Then my mom calls; she got her new computer and was heading to Wal-mart to by a router and wanted me to be around. When she called from the store, she said they didn't have what I sent her down to get; so she puts me on the phone with the sales girl who hasn't a clue what's she's talking about much less why she's on this planet. At that point, my head began to swell and I was getting a really bad headache. When I finished, I realized I hadn't done what I planned to do that day and started calling to set my appointments for the following week (the MRI and other test results I had just had were in). Having already skipped lunch, I went back to finish up my post only to find I had lost my connection AGAIN!
At that point, I thought about scrapping the whole damn thing. Normally, I would take a breather and go outside and walk around to enjoy the amazing days we've been having, but a front just moved in and it was an overcast drizzling shit of a day. By then, my mom had called back with some guy named Wally (who swears he went to school with me???) so I could tell him what needed to be transferred to her new computer. Then she wants to talk about the external hard drive I suggested she get in case the internal drive failed. She didn't seem to get it and just wanted to go round and round with me (something she does frequently even though she comes to me for my expert advice and technical assistance for her computer).
Finally, I just said, "mom, if you don't want it, then don't get it, but only fools don't back up their stuff; so don't come crying to me when something goes wrong and you've lost all of your pictures and church projects". She then reminded me she was my mother, so I backed down and apologized. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore. My head was hurting so bad that I decided to wait until tomorrow to finish up my post. It's currently 2:21 am and I can't sleep. So here I am finishing up the post that should have been completed 24 hours ago. I've run the cable line straight into my computer so I don't have to deal with any more wireless nightmares for a while.
So there you have it. No "the dog ate my work" excuses for my tardiness, just the truth. Since I'm up, I might as well go ahead and knock out the cover art for the next Classix Edition coming up in two weeks (you heard right). We've got another guest DJ this next week and I'll be taking a breather. Do you remember when I was picking out a new computer for my mom and was all excited? Well, common sense prevailed. I was lucky enough to get some birthday money so I doubled my memory to 4 gigs,Sat, 08 Nov 2008 - 73 - House Edition 2008 v5 (Take 3)Rick came home from work in a pretty good mood yesterday baring a pound of fresh shrimp. I'm not sure what the occasion was, but I sure do love shrimp on a platter of ice. Drown it in some lemon, with Tabasco and cocktail sauce, a few beers and you're pretty much set for the evening. Yummy! That always brings back great memories of back home. Sitting on the deck of one of my favorite restaurants 'Pirates Bay' in Port Isabel/South Padre Island on a sunny summer day and having some beer and shrimp with friends, is sorely missed. Afterward, the shrimp was coupled with some hot sex (I knew he was up to something) to cap off our evening...YUMMIER!
Now that my head is clear and I've come back down to earth from the previous week's delusional behavior due to lack of sleep, it's time to assess what just happened on November 4th. With democratic control of both houses, things are looking pretty damn good from where I sit. The way I see it, we have 2 - 3 Supreme Court justices that have been holding out for retirement in hopes of getting a Democrat in the White House. Now that Obama is the clear winner, getting his nominations through, shouldn't be a problem. Without overreaching, I think we can realistically repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT), pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) and pass the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Act and finally lift the travel ban to this country for people with HIV. It's absolutely time that the LGBT community is treated with equality and fairness in this country. We are tax paying Americans and should not be plowed down like second class citizens. I realize that many of us want the full repeal of the Defensive Marriage Act (DOMA), however, I believe that is something that will need to be handled in the courts. In fact, I'm glad that Prop 8 in California did not pass. There are already three class action lawsuits filed on behalf of the 18,000 couples who legally married since the repeal of the unconstitutional amendment preventing same-sex marriages. Ultimately, this will need to go to the Supreme Court. Just remember, it wasn't that long ago that blacks and whites could not legally marry and I truly believe that the Supreme Court will view this as discriminatory and unconstitutional, thus overriding every states amendment barring same-sex marriages. I think our community needs some patience in this matter, but we'll get there sooner than not.
As for Sarah Palin, I say good riddance for now. Unfortunately, I don't think that's the last we'll be hearing from her. She's got a taste of fame and a lust for power. I wouldn't be surprised if she runs for the soon to be open Senate seat in Alaska, though I understand that's going to a runoff. Now that the election is behind us, I find it rather amusing how her handlers have all come out about what a DIVA she is. For one, she's difficult to work with and two she's about as smart as a cue ball. I'm not going to say that I'm an expert on geography, but even I know that Africa is a continent, not a country. I expect her handlers were better qualified to be Vice President than she was. You can bet your last dollar the elitist faction of the Republican party cringes at the notion of her running in 2012. However, she does appeal to the majority of their base (bible thumpers, false prophets, closeted queers and the KKK). I guess we'll deal with it in four years. For now, I'll just relish the massive losses of the Republican party and the defection of one of their core constituents, Mexicans. It's suggested that by 2012, they might even lose Texas's wealth of electoral votes since Hispanics are quickly becoming the majority in my home state. That's what you get when you beat up on immigrants you dumb asses!
On to better news. I bring you the third installment of the House Edition v5.Thu, 06 Nov 2008 - 72 - House Edition 2008 v5 (Take 2)I'm sorry for the late post. I was pretty much delirious last night and finally dropped just after midnight. I do have to say that as someone who rarely if ever get choked up over sad movies or someone who has never joined a fan club, I pretty much lost it last night. I don't know, maybe it was the Prednisone I've been taking since I haven't had much sleep in the past week and a half. I admit I fell apart and started sobbing like a baby. Now, I'm no sissy, but I just couldn't help it. In case you missed it:

Artist : BrandyWed, 05 Nov 2008 - 71 - House Edition 2008 v5 (Take 1)Perhaps it's a bit presumptive of me to post this before the polls have closed, but the current polling suggests that Barack Obama has a healthy 11 point lead over John McCain, well over the margin of error. If those stats are to be believed, then this country, for the first time in our history, will have put a black man in the Oval Office. Even more significant, are the record 29 million votes already cast in early voting. Coupled with all of the voting to take place today, this election has engaged Americans like no other election in history and is quite possibly one of the most memorable events of my lifetime. If Michelle Obama was only recently proud of her country for the first time in her life, I can honestly say the same thing.
Certainly, we approach that sentiment from a different perspective, but I understand the intolerance, the hatred, the bigotry behind those views. As a disabled, gay American, I get it from all sects of society. Nevertheless, I am a product of my Catholic conservative parents and retain many of the same values that were instilled in me since birth. I believe in the "American Dream". I believe that anyone can rise from difficult circumstances to make a better life for themselves and those they love. Barack Obama's rise to the top only confirms that belief. It is for this very reason I continue to persevere in my daily struggles to find a job, to make a comfortable living for myself and my partner. Barack didn't give up, and nor will I. This is truly a time to celebrate.
With that, I bring you the first of four mixes celebrating the ascendancy of President Obama. Folks, it's time to P-A-R-T-Y!!! The first half of this mix is admittedly self-indulgent. It's where the old meets the new. It's party music for happy people. It's funky, it's fabulous...it's DISCO! When I started working on the mix, I didn't have a lot to work with, so I decided that I would reach back to when I started this blog in November of last year and pulled out a bunch of my favorite funky tunes at the time. I coupled that with a few goodies from earlier this year, plus a bunch of new stuff and some updated disco classics. All told, between the four mixes, there isn't a loser in the bunch...yup, it's that good!
So, squeeze into those low-riding bell-bottoms and slip on those platforms, because honey, we're gonna boogie 2 nite! Don't be deterred by any lawsuits brought on by those poor loser Republicans. Once the stations call the election I want everyone dancing in the streets with your boomboxes. Get down, boogie oogie oogie, shake, shake, shake...shake your booty like there's no tomorrow! Just remember, this party goes on all week. I'll be back each day with a new mix for your weekend blowout.
BE PROUD AND PLAY IT LOUD!

Here it is, the second installment of the House Edition v4, served up on a sizzling hot platter of disco with a side of seventies soul. The ATL has already been experiencing some fall-like weather with cooler evenings and temps ranging in the low to mid-eighties during the day. Suits me fine as I always enjoy the transition from summer to autumn. I'll be starting the much delayed Classix Edition: 90's part deuce shortly. Until then, I hope everyone has a great week and until the next time...ENJOY!
Album : House Edition v4
Genre : Disco, Funky, House, Soulful
Year : 2008
Total Time : 1:19:54:00
Track : 1
Title : Third Time (Shave Main Mix)
Artist : Levi 5Star feat. Michelle Martinez
Funky house with a pulsating beat and Michelle demanding "did you think that I was easy?" Think of it as one of those "I Am Woman" empowerment songs with an urgency that demands R-E-S-P-E-C-T! Essential
Track : 2
Title : Hideaway 2008 (7th Heaven Club Mix)
Artist : De'Lacy
I'm going to be honest, I didn't know anything about this tune from 1995. I did hear some 2008 mixes that came out earlier this year, but I wasn't all that impressed, until now. Always lovin' the 7th Heaven vibe, this Hed Kandi promo has been rocking my world and guaranteed it will rock yours too. Essential.
Track : 3
Title : Can You Feel That Sound (Josh Harris' Club Mix)
Artist : Georgie Porgie
IT'S GEORGIE TIME! ...and he's serving up some serious optimistic funk like no other. Sometimes I think that no matter how bad things get, Georgie always remains upbeat. He's probably someone I should be hanging around with right now. Since that ain't gonna happen, I'll settle for this heavenly slice of positive attitude. Essential.
Track : 4
Title : Let It Go (Groove Assassins Remix)
Artist : Afterlife feat. Cathy Battistessa
Bringing the vibe down, we move into this slow-burning number with a very addictive bass line and soothing vocals by Cathy Battistessa. Essential.
Track : 5
Title : Come Into My Life (Haldo's Original Mix)
Artist : Haldo feat. Erika Scherlin
When I saw this, I was hoping it might be a remake of the Joyce Sims classic from back in the day. Sadly, it is not. However, that certainly doesn't take anything from this song. Though not bad, it just feels like something is missing to really lure the listener in. That being said, there are several fantastic dub/vocal mixes that accompany the package that many of you might favor. Also, check out Haldo's Floor Mix which kicks it up a notch.
Track : 6
Title : How Long (Davidson Ospina Vocal Remix)
Artist : Linda Clifford
I've been all over this song since I used the Paul Goodyear version in my Pride Edition v3. Ospina keeps the high tempo of Paul's mix but dresses it down in strict 90's house fashion. Now that we have the official remixes currently available on disc at Perfect Beat, I'm still hoping Linda's pal Ralphi hops on board with one of his sizzling peak hour mixes. Outstanding.
Track : 7
Title : Release Your Mind 2008 (Richard Earnshaw Remix)
Artist : Syke 'n' Sugarstarr
What if Barry White hooked up with Richard Earnshaw and Syke 'n' Sugarstarr then created a funky house masterpiece? Folks, this IS what it would sound like. Essential.
Track : 8
Title : Keep On Push (Outwave Project Remix)
Artist : Alex Barattini
Another song with a positive attitude set to swirling strings and a big disco beat. I'm really into these mixes that use the old school orchestration. Can you imagine what it must have cost for some of those seventies classics to be put together with a full orchestra? Essential.
Track : 9Wed, 20 Aug 2008 - 69 - House Edition 2008 Volume 4 (Take 1)I want to welcome everyone to the final House Edition of the summer. Don't expect another Beach House mix 'cause that ain't what's being served up. Instead, I purposely took this mix in a more uplifting direction full of fun disco house music. Granted, there's definitely a lot of soul to boot, but it is the 'fun' aspect I was focusing on. Besides, summer will end soon and I wanted to leave on a feel-good note. I hope all the disruptions this weekend didn't kill my vibe, but I think I really delivered on this one; not just on song choice but mixing as well. I'll be back tomorrow or the day after with Take 2 of this mix. Until then...ENJOY!

Album : House Edition v4
Genre : Disco, Funky, House, Soulful
Year : 2008
Total Time : 1:19:55:00
Track : 1
Title : It's Yours (Joey Negro Remix)
Artist : Jon Cutler feat. E-Man
With a ton of support from a variety of DJs, this is destined to be a late summer smash. Of course, I'm always partial to Joey and he certainly did not fail to deliver. Essential
Track : 2
Title : Love Me (Sergio D'Angelo Remix)
Artist : Steve Paradise feat. Kiara S
The vocals on this song alone are worth the price of admission alone. Amazing song, even better vocals and a stellar remix by Sergio; this is the full meal deal. What a package! Essential.
Track : 3
Title : I Love America (DJ Meme Main Club Mix)
Artist : Hanna Hais
I for one would have never thought about doing a remix of the Patrick Juvet disco club hit from 1979. I had to go back and dig out my Casablanca Records box set to refresh my memory. After listening to both, I gotta say DJ Meme was definitely the guy for the job. I've really been digging his work lately and this mix does not fail to disappoint. Essential.
Track : 4
Title : Gotta Have House (Do You Remember) (Knee Deep Anthem Mix)
Artist : Knee Deep & DJ Spen feat. Biblical Jones
Yet another song about 'house music'. Nevertheless, Knee Deep live up to their name and really punch the groove out in their mix, making this an obvious choice for a night out in Ibiza.
Track : 5
Title : Show Me How Good (Arduini-Pagany Philly Vocal Mix)
Artist : Arduini & Pagany feat. Vale Ducros
Ahh, picture yourself under the disco lights getting all caught up in the swirling strings. This feel-good number is instantly catchy and definitely memorable. Essential.
Track : 6
Title : Down (Vocal Club Mix)
Artist : Freak 'n' Funky
Boogie Oogie Oogie...need I say more? Essential.
Track : 7
Title : Where Love Lives 2008 (Soulshaker Remix)
Artist : Alison Limerick
Earlier this summer, I previewed an amazing electro version and now we have the Soulshaker remix. Well, we all know that Soulshaker has definitely been on a roll lately and this song just continues that pattern with their take on this early 90's classic. Essential.
Track : 8
Title : Underlying Feeling (Soulshaker Remix)
Artist : Sylvia Tosun
After failing to really make a dent with her amazing "Head Over Heels" track back in early December, Sylvia is back with her follow-up. Folks,Mon, 18 Aug 2008 - 1h 19min - 68 - Beach House Edition 2008 Volume 4...and finally, I'm serving up v4 of the 2008 Beach House Edition. You can expect some of the best funky and soulful house of the summer, with a touch of disco in the mix.
In fact, whoever can tell me the original songs from which #8 and #14 were taken from will get...hmmm, let's see, oh yeah, my admiration. I'd give away a free t-shirt, but right now I'm ass-broke! The first should be obvious to most since not only was it a #1 disco hit in 1975, but a #1 pop hit as well.
The second was a #1 disco hit but barely cracked the top 40. However, if you were a faithful American Bandstand viewer every Saturday, you might very well remember it. For me, the hooks were instantly recognizable and I was wondering when someone would get around to sampling the latter. Even though they went far beyond sampling, in both cases, they pretty much ripped off the originals note for note. Thankfully they did because they're smokin' HOT!
Anywho, speaking of 'broke ass'...I'm WAY over budget this month and recently incurred some unexpected expenditures. In less than a week and a half, Podbean is going to deduct $39.95 from my PayPal account. Our good friend and loyalist, Discoball out of the UK, has already given $10.00 without even asking, and I thank him for that. What I'm asking is for every person that downloads and enjoys any of these mixes to make a $2 - $3 donation via my PayPal account to your right. If everyone did that, it would not only cover the cost of the Podbean for one month but could even cover it for several more. As I'm sure you must realize, I don't make a cent off of this site. I do everything I do for the sheer love of it. It's my passion.
However, if I don't have enough money to cover next month's fee, the account will be closed. Meaning no more mixes at all. If I have to come back in mid-August and pay a penalty to re-open my account, it will be a paid service. Meaning, I'll start charging for each mix. This is not a threat, nor should it be construed that way. I'm just laying out the facts. I'm certain money's tight for everyone these days, however, a simple monthly or bi-monthly donation of $2 - $3 ain't gonna break anyone's bank. This would allow me to continue providing some of the best (if not the best) mixes for your enjoyment on the net. I'm hoping in September to bring other DJs on board to showcase their stuff.
So, if we can keep this thing alive, I'll be back in 2 weeks with the Summer Edition followed by the Deep Edition, then Classix 90s pt. 2 and a very special promo only Madonna megamix just in time for her 50th. So I'm asking you to please help keep this site alive and more importantly FREE! Just think about what you're getting in return and you'll see how reasonable my request is.
That's it for now. Hopefully, I'll be back in 2 weeks with the Summer Edition. Until then...Enjoy!

Hot on the heels of the Electro-Funk mixes, I bring you the true essence of summer (at least for me). Easy, breezy carefree, and feel good, would best describe this mix. A culmination of funky and soulful house is just what the season is all about. Oh, and did I mention funky? Heck yeah!
I also added a few disco diddies which will be more evident in future mixes of this edition. So whether you're heading out to Ibiza, the beach, or your favorite summertime destination, I've got something to keep you cool.
I'll be back tomorrow with part 2 of this series, until then...Enjoy!

Artist : Sylvia TosunWed, 16 Jul 2008 - 64 - Deep Edition 2008 Volume 6 [Pt. 1 & 2]Originally my intent was to put this mix out in early July, but I've been in a bit of a funk lately and decided I needed something to cheer me up. Strange, because that kinda feeling usually only happens in the winter. So I did two things to combat this: 1) I joined a gym and am feeling great.
I even convinced Rick to join with me, which was kinda fun watching him. As someone that has never stepped foot in a gym, I thought I'd start him out slow and put him on the elliptical and selected their basic program.
While I'm going away at it, two minutes into his exercise he starts to feel the burn and quits. Disappointed, I suggested the treadmill. Well, that got about a five-minute run before he switched to the bike which got another five minutes...LOL. Then he just stood around until I finished up about thirty minutes later. Geez, I thought I was taking it easy on him.
Nevertheless, he's a trooper and has been going back with me. As I slowly move back into the groove of things, I pushed out our leg exercises to Monday. Watching him do squats and leg curls might be fun, but I promised him I'd go easy. He has one week left on his trial membership, so we'll see what he decides. 2) I needed some good summertime house to round out the equation and this group of songs that I had been compiling was just the ticket. I knew what direction the next Deep Edition was going to go in and realized I had more than enough to make the mix.
So, I sat down and knocked this puppy out in two hours. I'm glad I did because next to Cyndi Lauper's latest, this has been on heavy rotation in my house. Far from the ice-cold renderings of the last three Deep Editions, this is all about summer. Warm and airy, light and breezy on the soulful and jazzy tip, I do believe I achieved my goal.
I hope everyone enjoys this as much as I have. If you looking for the more progressive stuff that's been making up the last several editions of this series, it ain't here.
Going forward, June will be all about Pride. I'm making a total of four single mixes of which two are already complete. Beginning this Friday, the first one will be released followed by a new Pride mix each subsequent Friday throughout the month. Until then...Enjoy!

Many of you are not aware that I have been in the process of moving everything over to Podbean to house all the mixes. As a result, some of the download links may be broken. Because of the amount of storage and archiving available to me, I'm only able to move over so many MBs every month.
Nevertheless, I still have my old 4shared account, and if any links that are not working, please let me know (as some of you already have) and I'll do my best to get them reactivated as soon as possible. I also want to suggest that you browse the archives to find your preferred genre.
For instance, while many of the mixes I completed in March and April may be old by DJ standards, they are chock full of songs that are just now getting national attention and may be more familiar to you. I try to stay ahead of the curve in my mixes, so when I post something new, it may not contain many songs you're familiar with until a couple of months later. Look at it this way, you can honestly say you heard it here first. How cool is that?
Well, I've finally come full circle on the newly created House Edition. As previously stated, the Funky Editions are being discontinued and splintered off into the Electro-Funk and House mixes respectively. The House mixes will contain funky, soulful, and gospel house while the Electro-Funk will be more mainstream tunes. As far as I'm concerned, it's all good.
Doing this allows me to showcase more of the straight-up house music I love so much but doesn't really fit in with the more commercial stuff. On this mix, you will find a lot of gospel and funky tunes with a touch of soulfulness for good measure. In fact, I had about four discs worth of music, but after reviewing an initial mix, I decided there were too many Jesus songs. Not that I have any against Jesus, but there's only so much you can take in one dose and I didn't want anyone to O.D. As you can see, I really packed these mixes. Don't worry, it flows damn well and you won't even notice what I edited out.
I'm completely stoked about what I have planned for June. While I don't want to give too much away, I will say the month of June will be officially dedicated to Pride. Some of the mixes (which ROCK!) are already complete. Wait until you see the cover art.
This is quite possibly some of my best work yet, if not the best. While we here in the U.S. have a three day weekend for Memorial Day, I understand the U.K. is celebrating Pride.
So, I wanna wish everyone overseas HAPPY PRIDE! As for those of you traveling out of town to Austin, Ft. Lauderdale, P-Town or to any of the numerous circuit party destinations throughout the U.S. this holiday weekend, USE IT UP, WEAR IT OUT and just be safe enough to come back later next month and DO IT AGAIN! For now, groove to the sounds of summer!
Enjoy!

I finally got this thing wrapped up. I thought I was being so smart and had this mix in the can before my Prog mix last week. So I figured I'd hold out for Mariah's TMB (David Morales Mix) which is supposedly very funky. Unfortunately, that mix has yet to see the light of day, though I'm guessing a CD pressing may be in the works for a Perfect Beat exclusive next week.
Initially, I thought I wouldn't have enough songs to create this mix. Because I held out for the DM mix, new stuff continued to arrive. So yesterday, I went back and threw out the entire mix and started from scratch. I have to say, the end result kicks some serious boot-ay!
Some of you might be wondering...what happened to that funky new Bimbo Jones song? It turns out that the song is not new. Apparently, it was released two years ago. Consequently, I decided not to use it (though I absolutely love the song). However, there is some good news to this story.
Apparently, Bimbo Jones along with Katherine Ellis (who I absolutely adore...watch out Kristine W) has signed a deal with Tommy Boy Records here in the U.S. to release a full album sometime this summer. There is no doubt that BJ has been hot, hot, hot lately. However, "Harlem One Stop" shows an element of their production style that I haven't seen until now. Needless to say, I'm ecstatic about this project and will keep everyone posted.
In other news, I've finally got listed on iTunes and will now be providing a download link for those of you that use the service. I also managed to work out a really good deal with Podbean which will significantly lower my overhead costs and provide unlimited bandwidth. That's right, you heard it...unlimited! If you have read my recent posting in the chatterbox, you'd see that my 4shared account was overwhelmed recently.
Apparently, my Deep Edition v3 was posted on a Russian music site and generated a lot of traffic and downloads. According to their site, by law, they weren't allowed to provide a direct link to the mix. Instead, they provided a link back to my site. Glad they loved the mix, but it ate up all my bandwidth much sooner than normal. Needless to say, this will no longer be an issue.
Finally, you'll notice that I'm slowly implementing changes to this blog. More significantly, I've now added "donation" buttons for the mixes. Even though I've managed to lower my costs in one area, there's not much I can do in another. Better than 2/3 of the music in the mixes has been purchased through one of the legal download services. As you all know, this ain't cheap. You might say, well why don't you hunt it down? For one, I prefer to support the artists whenever possible.
Two, there's not enough time in my day to hunt down this that and the other. Three, as a product of the "gimme more now" generation, I want what I want when I want it : ) So, if you like what I'm providing, how 'bout hooking a brother up with a small donation. $5 every other month or so ain't going to break the bank and collectively goes a long way towards my overall costs. At the very least, please leave some comments and let me know what you think. Sometimes I feel like a cheap one night stand where people just come in and bang and leave. Geez, I feel so used ; )
Alright, that's enough whining for now. Just want to remind you all that I will be taking a sabbatical for the next two weeks to work on other projects that I've neglected. I'll be back with the next installment of the "Deep Edition". Until then, shake, shake, shake (your boot-ay) like there's no tomorrow! Have a great weekend and as always...Enjoy!
Due to the original structure of this post, the two separate sets have now been combined into one and remastered based on the techniques used in cur...Sat, 19 Apr 2008 - 61 - House Edition 2008 Volume 1Welcome to the first ever Party Favorz: House Edition. Not quite deep enough for my Deep Editions and not quite Funky Enough for my Funky Editions, but definitely soulful and hip enough for a House Edition. There was just way too much good music to let go to waste. Let's face it, this is the music that got it all started back in the late eighties.
Granted, house music is just an extension of disco from the seventies, but it developed into a cultural phenomenon sprouting other offshoots of the style. Electro, Deep, Jack, Trance, Tribal, and Progressive; you can thank the origin from which you sprang. Like no other, house music is and always will be the foundation for all great dance music.
You may notice, this is an unusually long mix. Once I got started, I just couldn't stop. The whole thing flowed so well, I decided not to cut it in half. I'm guessing that most of you will just pop it into your iPod and won't care. Those that burn these mixes to CD, need not worry. Since most players these days support MP3 playback, just burn a "jukebox" disc (as Nero calls it) or MP3 disc as most others call it and you're in business.
I would have had this mix-up on Friday, but my bandwidth was shot as I knew it would be once I uploaded the Spring Edition. So, I decided to wait until today (April Fools) to share it. My bandwidth has reset and you shouldn't have any problems downloading. I've checked into Go Daddy for my future hosting and podcasting, and it's looking like I'll be using them.
Since I'm currently using two different sources for storage and streaming, it not only makes practical sense to consolidate but economic sense as well. Just to let everyone know, when I do that, the mixes might end up being encoded at 192kbps instead of the VBR Extreme I've been using. This is not for certain, it just depends on how much storage I purchase for the year.
I already got my next Electro-Funk Edition ready to go, and you can expect that on Friday. I also started working on the next installment of the Progressive Edition for all our shirtless boys in the clubs and will then begin working on the long overdue Funky Edition. After that, I plan on taking a break until May. In the meantime, for all of you who enjoy my Deep and/or Funky editions, this one's for you!
Enjoy!
Update: Oh joy...my bandwidth came back a day early! Besides, posting on April Fools Day has its risks. Even Mariah bumped her album release (originally scheduled for the 1st) to the 15th. Can you blame her?

Before I get into the mix, I have to comment on last night's final Democratic debate. Aside from the niceties that were exchanged, Hillary looked FLAWLESS in her chocolate pantsuit coupled with some turquoise jewelry pieces for a splash of color.
Personally, I would have gone with kelly green to offset the brown, however, turquoise is very in right now. All is right in the world when we know how to successfully combine our colors for a statement. In all seriousness, it was nice to see them finally focus on winning the White House back from Republican control, instead of the usual bickering that was dividing the party.
Ultimately, they need to come together and unify the Democrats for what will certainly be a viral campaign against the Repubs. For now, may the best woman or man win. In the end, I'm still predicting a Clinton/Obama ticket. Frankly, I don't care if it's the other way around. Truth be told, they both appeal to various factions of the Democratic Party and a double bill with both of them would create an unstoppable powerhouse come November.
Now, on to the issue at hand. Just in time for the weekend, I'm serving up some seriously deep house. Granted, this is not exactly a "party" album per se but provides excellent ambiance for your get-togethers or when you're just sitting around and relaxing.
Those of you following my release trend, know that electro-funk will be up next. Granted, there's still the Classic Edition I've been promising. Since I'm behind there, I'll probably up my Party Favorz 2005: Year-End Edition, which is bound to, please. This will give me more time to work on something even older. I'm leaning towards 1999 - 2000. I'll keep everyone posted.
I hope you enjoy this mix, cause it was a bitch to put together! When I thought it was finished, I previewed it while driving all over town trying to get some grown-up stuf...Sat, 02 Feb 2008 - 1h 19min - 59 - Funky House Edition 2008 Volume 1 | Pt. 1 & 2
First and foremost, I am ecstatic about the elections on Tuesday. Looks like we got ourselves a two-way horse race between Clinton and Obama. Anyone that has been following the political blogs realizes just how passionate both camps are about their prospective candidates. What has concerned me is the vitriol and hatred geared toward Hillary.
Based on the supposed polling data which gives her an unfavorable "likability" rating; I suspect most of this is driven by the media. So who exactly did they poll? Frankly, after New Hampshire, we saw just how reliable those polls are. The unjustified criticism Hillary has received is unprecedented. When you hear someone like the ass-wipe Chris Matthews from MSNBC, publicly state "The only reason Hillary became a Senator and is now running for President is that her husband messed around". Huh?
Well if that's the case, the only reason George Bush became Governor of Texas and subsequently President of the United States is because his last name is "Bush" and his family has a shitload of money. C'mon, where's the logic? After that, every Hillary supporter took up arms against this sexist remark and the subsequent statements that followed, attempting to justify his position. Though not as blatantly asinine, CNN hasn't faired any better in their own commentary.
That's all well and good because the voters are the only people that count and I believe are smart enough to cut through all the bullshit being shown on the idiot box. Thank God for blogs where we can better serve up opinion and commentary to respond to things we either agree or disagree with; albeit in a more civilized manner. The closest we have right now on TV is C-Span, but that forum does not lend itself to a healthy debate.
After Super Tuesday, we'll have a clearer picture of who will be the Democratic nominee. I've made no bones about the fact that I am a Hillary supporter. Regardless, if it does turn out that Barak succeeds in his bid for the nomination, then I'll be right there lending my full support.
Ultimately, I would like to see a Clinton/Obama ticket run for President; if not, an Obama/Clinton ticket works just fine for me. Now, after John Edwards gets his ass whipped in his own home state of South Carolina, will you please get the hell out of the race! Governor Richardson, thank you for having the good sense to drop out after New Hampshire. As Democrats and Independents, let's come together and go into the National Convention united with one common goal; to rid the true axis of evil from Washington.
Speaking of evil (you know I had to lead into it somehow), Funky House Edition 2008 v1 is a really wicked mix cooked up for all you funk heads! Side one is pure disco heaven that truly satisfies. Side two, well let's just say that's for the die-hard disco fan. Some of the stuff harkens back to the underground disco of yonder, whiles others are just simple mainstream fare that I couldn't work into side one. It was either make this a single disc, or go ahead and serve up volume two for the loyalist. Either way, it won't disappoint. Enjoy!

First, I would like to wish everyone a happy New Year and thank you all for the kind words that have been left in my Cbox. There's more work that goes into this blog than I would have ever imagined.
Not that I'm complaining; on the contrary, I really enjoy doing this. So please keep the comments, suggestions, or requests coming. I'll do my best to respond. Right now, I'm thinking about changing the name of the site to Party Favorz instead of K j A M Productions. Let me know what you think.
Before I get into the latest Deep Edition, I just want to touch on another very important issue. This will mainly apply to the U.S. folks. From the onset of the presidential contenders throwing their hats into the ring, I've been a big fan of Hillary Clinton. Without a doubt, she is a smart and savvy player who would be formidable against any Republican nominee. I like her message and the way in which she carries herself. Anyone that's read anything about her during the time she was First Lady, knows full well that she's got the balls to stand up to the Republicans.
The only thing that concerns me is her unwillingness to denounce all the pork spending from Washington; something that John Edwards is a big proponent of ridding from each and every bill passed. In fact, his campaign thus far has not accepted any Pac money. That's amazing considering his 2nd place finish in Iowa. Then you've got Barak Obama.
Several years ago, I saw him for the first time after he was elected Senator of Illinois, on C-Span. He was a very charismatic and eloquent speaker. Needless to say, I was impressed. The only problem I have with him is that I don't think he's ready for prime time just yet. He will make an excellent VP for either candidate and can assume the mantle 4 to 8 years after this election. This is just my own personal assessment of the candidates.
More than anything, this is a very important election and I urge everyone eligible to go out and caucus for your candidate of choice. The fact that Hilary and Barak are the front-runners, in and of itself is historic! Whatever the outcome of the primaries, I will throw my full support behind whoever wins as they are all excellent candidates.
Speaking of winners...I've got the first Deep Edition mix-up and ready to go! I am so pleased with the overall mix. I should probably call this the Chill Edition, cause that's exactly what it is. Let's go down the checklist:
Acid Jazz
√
Tickling the ivory
√
Big ole Brass
√
Groovy Organs
√
Trip Hop
√
Deep Funk
√
Wailing Divas
√
Soulful
√
Male Singers
√
Alternative Beats
√
Underground Beats
√
Angry Black Women
√
Looks like all the ingredients are here. Unlike previous efforts which tend to be more experimental, the complete feel of this mix is laid back and comfy with an overall sense of relaxation and fun. Put this on when you have guests over or you just want to lay around and chill. Enjoy!

By the fourth song, you'll notice a different direction as it transitions into some techno house and then into more progressive deep sounds before dropping down again.
Take notice of the smoking gospel mashup between Antoine Clamaran and Alison Limerick! Though my other half can't stand these mixes, I find them soothing. Enjoy!

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,Sun, 18 Sep 2022 - 2h 58min - 48 - The Freshest Funky House Music of Spring

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.

"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.
