Party Favorz is back with the captivating Essential 80’s Dance Mix Volume 3, an incredible journey through the decade that gave us unforgettable classics in Funk, R&B Dance, and Rap’s early days. This set, often referred to as the Urban mix, masterfully blends a selection of popular 80s dance music with one alternative dance mix and a handful of chart-topping pop tracks.

Developing this mix involved two weeks of careful track selection and editing to achieve the perfect blend and feel. A standout feature is the innovative mashup of Grandmaster Flash’s anti-drug song “White Lines” and Herbie Hancock’s “Rock It”— a fusion that beautifully showcases the evolution of 80s dance music.

This volume includes the irresistible rhythm of Janet Jackson’s “Nasty,” and the unforgettable beat of Rob Base & DJ EZ-Rock’s “It Takes Two.” There’s the innovative fusion of rock and rap in Run-DMC’s “Walk This Way,” and the pioneering electro-funk sound of Herbie Hancock’s “Rock It.” The unforgettable melody of Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam’s “I Wonder If I Take You Home” and the ultimate party anthem of Salt N Pepa’s “Push It” ensure the mix embodies the essence of 80s dance music.

Laid Back’s “White Horse” and George Clinton’s “Atomic Dog” deliver doses of synthesized beats that characterize the era, while Prince’s “D.M.S.R.” offers a taste of his unique fusion style. Lastly, Sugar Hill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight” serves as a reminder of rap’s humble beginnings before it exploded in the following decade.

Each track in this compilation adds a unique flavor to the mix, crafting a rich and immersive 80s dance music experience. So, put on your dancing shoes, and enjoy this nostalgic trip back to the era that changed dance music forever.

Until the next time…ENJOY!

Party Favorz presents The Essential 80s Dance Mix Volume 2, a harmonious blend of commercial, alternative, and pop-hit dance tracks, illustrating the rhythmic diversity of the 80s dance music era. A significant part of the 80s was the rise of Hi NRG, epitomized by Patrick Cowley’s remix of Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love” and his later contributions to the genre, such as “Menergy” and “Megatron Man”.

This volume also nods towards the gay community and the movement they helped define, which was deeply intertwined with the Hi NRG genre, as their music provided the soundtrack to a time marked by the emergence of AIDS.

Featuring an eclectic lineup, it juxtaposes tracks like Michael Jackson’s “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin‘” with When In Rome’s “The Promise” creating an authentic 80s vibe. You’ll find Madonna’s “Into The Groove“, Whitney Houston’s “Love Will Save The Day“, and Shannon’s “Let The Music Play” among the mix, illustrating the varied landscape of 80s dance music.

Several tracks in this mix have been meticulously remastered from their original vinyl versions, ensuring authenticity while delivering quality audio. Notably, Madonna’s “Into The Groove” has been shortened to maintain cohesion and Whitney Houston’s “Love Will Save The Day” retains minor imperfections, reflecting the charm and texture of the period’s music production.

This collection promises a nostalgic dive into the 80s dance music scene, encapsulating the era’s sounds and the emotions they stirred. So turn the volume up and enjoy the rhythmic journey back to the 80s!

Until the next time…ENJOY!
