It’s that time of year when Party Favorz brings out a hot, sweaty cowboy to grace our annual Fall Edition, featuring the ultimate circuit anthems for the gay boys. And this set more than delivers.

Bursting at the seams with peak-hour anthems, we’ve packed it with tracks from your favorite divas—old and new—including Kylie, Rihanna, Celine, Madonna, Lady Gaga, Britney (BITCH), Taylor Swift, Kelly Rowland, Beyoncé, Shakira, Loleatta Holloway, Christina Aguilera, Charli XCX, and Billie Eilish. Believe us, it doesn’t get any realer than this.

11 Days to Protect Our Rights: Why This Election Matters

With only 11 days until election day, now is the time for our final message to anyone considering sitting this one out or voting third party.

The stakes couldn’t be higher, especially for the LGBTQ community. This election will impact marriage equality, workplace protections, access to PrEP, housing rights, government employment (including military service), and women’s reproductive rights like abortion, birth control, IUD, IVF, Mifepristone, the morning after pill, and yes, condoms. It will shape gun control, voting rights, and even the future of free speech.

This isn’t hyperbole—the outcome will profoundly impact your everyday life. Hell, Republicans are even going after your porn. Porn Hub has already stopped operating in Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Utah, and Virginia. This includes gay porn, which has been upheld under the First Amendment but has been steadily eroded ever since by SCOTUS.

The recent SCOTUS decision in Trump vs. United States grants unprecedented powers to the President, essentially making the office a monarchy. Under another Trump administration, there’s nothing to prevent an assault on our constitutional rights, including due process in our pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness.

Some might think that voting for Jill Stein, who reappears every four years like a cicada to disrupt elections, is a viable option. This misguided choice effectively hands the election to Trump. Voting for Kamala Harris, on the other hand, ensures your continued freedom to speak out on issues like the Middle East without risking violence or repression—a stark reality we could face if Trump returns to power and enacts martial law.

I urge you to vote—vote early or drop off your absentee ballot at your nearest dropbox (not mail), as Rick and I will be doing today. This election is nothing less than a choice between fascism and our open, free society. Our right to live authentically, to speak openly, and to challenge injustice depends on it. Our Republic, our freedoms, and our future are on the line. Protecting them is worth every effort.

BackSpin: Electro House Classics & Other Millennial Dance Club Hits! [2005 — 2006] Volume 3

Party Favorz is back with Volume 3 of our BackSpin series, bringing you Electro House classics along with a mix of Millennial dance club hits from 2005-2006.

I hadn’t realized just how dominant the Rock Dance influence was during this time, but looking back, it was everywhere. Many tracks from that era didn’t make it into these two volumes, but one that certainly stands out (next to Kelly Clarkson’s “Since You’ve Been Gone” on Volume 2) is the Jacques Lu Cont Thin White Duke remix of “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers. This song was massive, and you practically couldn’t escape it.

This period also marked the rise of another French DJ besides David Guetta: Bob Sinclar. Though he’d been honing his craft since the late ’80s, it wasn’t until this era that he seemingly exploded onto the scene with hits like “Love Generation,” “World, Hold On (Children of the Sun),” and “Rock This Party (Everybody Dance Now).” His meteoric popularity even led to him headlining one of Hugh Hefner’s parties at the Playboy Mansion. The event was later released as a two-volume set of House and Disco, aimed at the jet-set crowd.

David Guetta, of course, is also in the mix here with some of his early work, including Juliet’s “Avalon” and the huge “Love Don’t Let Me Go.” As promised, we replaced the rock version of Roger Sanchez’s “Turn On the Music” with the Axwell Electro House remix, which was the go-to version at the time.

Paul Oakenfold (another 90s mainstay) was enjoying renewed success during this era, hitting #1 with “Faster Kill Pussycat,” featuring the incredible vocals of Brittany Murphy (may she rest in peace). For those wondering where this year’s earlier hit “Perfect (Exceeder)” originated — it’s straight from this time period, and we’ve included the Martijn Ten Velden remix, which stays true to the original but is more DJ-friendly.

We also have to give major props to Peter Rauhofer (may he rest in peace) for his prolific output during this time. His remixes, which blended Progressive and Electro House, had wide appeal across dance floors. We’ve highlighted his stellar work on “Beautiful” by Christina Aguilera, “Killer” by Seal, and “Maneater” by Nelly Furtado — all of which hit #1 on the Dance Club charts. While we wanted to include his remix of the Vanity 6/Prince-penned “Nasty Girl” by Inaya Day, we decided it was a bit too much from one producer.

Two DJ duos that went on to achieve massive success are Moto Blanco, represented here with Mary J. Blige’s “Be Without You” (originally credited as Bobby Blanco), and Freemasons, who shine on Beyoncé’s “Deja Vu” and Faith Evans’ sassy “Mesmerized” — a personal favorite.

We couldn’t overlook Cascada’s “Everytime We Touch.” Though technically a Hard Dance track, it was a global phenomenon. Cascada (comprised of Natalie Horler, DJ Manian, and DJ Yanou) broke through with this song, which sat slightly outside the prevailing dance trends of the time but wasn’t entirely unprecedented. Earlier in the millennium, DJ Yanou scored a massive hit with a remake of Bryan Adams’ “Heaven,” and DHT had similar success with their cover of Roxette’s “Listen To Your Heart.” Despite the 142 BPM of “Everytime We Touch,” we managed to tie it all together with Madonna’s “Sorry” from her Confessions album, closing out the set on a high note.

Our goal is to wrap up the remaining years of the early millennium (2007-2009) by November, so we can give Millennials the dance floor representation they deserve. I realize not everything from this period was Electro House, and if you want to explore the broader landscape of early millennium dance music, check out our Millennial Dance Classics section — it has something for everyone. For those only seeking the big club hits, we also have a collection of the Top Dance Songs of the Year from 2000 to 2009. We’ve compiled everything into one place, but you’ll still need to dig a bit to find your favorite jams.

That’s all for this weekend. Next week, we’ll be back with the long-overdue Fall Edition for the circuit boys. Until next time… ENJOY!
