Blow Your Own Horn 2017

Folks, this is it! It’s that time of year that Party Favorz blows the roof off this 2016 motherfucker with our annual Blow Your Own Horn! This is the defacto epic dance party set to bring in your New Year.

This year we lost David Bowie, Prince, George Michael and now Carrie Fisher a.k.a. Princess Leia. It almost feels like my youth has been suddenly ripped out from underneath me. After everyone said it would never happen, we elected an egotistical, self-serving, lying hypocritical, sexists prick to the highest office in the land. Ya’ll said you wanted change; wait ’cause you’re gonna get it.

It’s also been the year of Russia, Russia, Russia. No offense to the Russians that subscribe to this site (cause I know there is a shitload of you), but I don’t want to see RT show up in my Google feed ANYMORE; I don’t want to read about how Russia hacked into the DNC and floated all this crap to that douche Julian Assange from Wikileaks. One step out of that embassy (if they don’t throw you out first) and your happy ass is going to land here in the US courtesy of the Swiss. Then there’s some Russian fucktard hacking everyone’s Google Analytics account (mine included) with some fucked up pro-Trump message. Not sure what that was about other than being an annoying prick. I can’t even open up the New York Times, Washington Post or Washington Journal without some headline news about Russia. Here’s the real news; Russia, we’re just not that into you.

So, I’ll just let this all wash over me with a new year to look forward to. Then again, it’ll likely be the same shit; just a different year LOL.

Hey, I’ll get off my soapbox because it’s looking like an awesome day outside. Besides, I know we have several Trump supporters on here (including my parents) as most are good people. Equally, all the Russian folks that subscribe to Party Favorz, obviously have good taste so we welcome you!

That being said, I want to give a shout-out to these awesome folks for their donations: David B. $50; Michael M. $10 and Charles B. $40. You guys ROCK!

Party Favorz will be taking an extended break for as long as I can stand not mixing anything which usually lasts about 2 weeks before I give in to the urge to slap a couple of songs together LOL.

I hope everyone has a healthy and happy New Year. I’ll see ya’ll sometime in the next.

Until then…ENJOY!

George Michael: A Dance Mix Tribute Volume 2

Pause

In the wake of George Michael’s sudden passing, it became clear that a mere update of his 2010 induction into the Diva Hall of Fame wouldn’t suffice. So, with a heavy heart but determined focus, we set out to remaster and reimagine a dance tribute mix that would do justice to his extensive repertoire and undeniable influence on music and pop culture.

Starting from scratch, we meticulously remastered each song, whether it was slated for inclusion or not, dedicating two full days to this labor of love. The end result? A tribute that can only be described as ‘Flawless.’

Back in 2010, the original tribute had an extra dose of compression, primarily due to the track ‘As,’ George Michael’s duet with Mary J. Blige. Thanks to Jonathan Peters’ mastering techniques, the song could practically blow a hole in the ceiling. It set the tone for the whole mix back then, especially when earbuds were not as advanced as they are today. But times have changed, and so have audio capabilities. That gave us the freedom to achieve a balanced and more nuanced sound.

Let’s talk about some gems in the tribute. Take “I Want Your Sex 2010 (Freemasons Club Mix),” for instance. The Freemasons bring a modern electro flair to this ’80s classic, delivering a robust bassline that’s impossible to ignore. And then there’s the “Fast Love (2002 Illicit Remix).” With this version, the Illicit team reinvents George Michael’s hit by infusing fresh beats and rhythms, making it perfect for today’s dance floors.

Don’t overlook the “Outside (Hex Hector 12” Vox Up Mix),” a song with a history. After his public outing following an arrest, George Michael embraced his identity and turned the incident into this empowering track. Hex Hector’s remix elevates it to new heights, making it a dance floor anthem for the ages.

Wham! classics like “I’m Your Man (Division 4 Club Mix)” and “Everything She Wants (Todd Terry Mix)” also find their rightful place in the mix. They’re not just nostalgic trips; these remixes celebrate George Michael’s beginnings while anchoring them firmly in contemporary dance music.

In closing, we hope this tribute captures not just the breadth of George Michael’s musical prowess, but also the depth of his influence and the complexity of his legacy.

RIP George. You will be sorely missed. [1963 – 2016].

Until the next time…ENJOY!
