Party Favorz is FINALLY dropping our first non-Stop top Dance Club mix of 2020. I generally find that releasing anything too early is generally regurgitated versions of top dance music that was already building momentum going into the new year with a few new entries. By waiting a bit longer, the overall releases begin to slowly drip out giving Future Nostalgia something new and fresh overall.

I was surprised at the dark tone of many of these songs heading into 2020. It’s not bad per say — but I’d prefer a brighter and happier tone. Perhaps it’s the mood of the country in these dark times in this divisive election year. All I know is that folks could really benefit from some uplifting house music. Hopefully, they’ll start rolling out before the Winter Music Conference in Miami. Then again, their award nominations are absolute bullshit where they pay homage to many unknown talent or has beens over and over each year. It’s nauseating.

Overall, Future Nostalgia features a diverse offering of great music but there are two tracks that I’ve been all over since their release (okay three).

The first is “Good Time Girl” by Sofi Tukker featuring Charlie Baker. One of my go-to shows at the moment is HBO’s “The New Pope.” They’ve always intertwined current tracks into this satirical take on the papacy and this year’s opener is the latest groove by the college besties. The opening credits feature a bunch of nuns dressed in see-through nightgowns grinding and undulating before a glowing cross. Each opening scene is different but features the same pulsating and hypnotic song. I literally never get tired of it. While their low-budget video has garnered over 4 million views on YouTube, Ultra Music has not serviced this track to DJs nor released any accompanying remixes, which I find odd. This is a hit through and through and should be force-fed to radio and clubs globally. Yeah, it’s that good.

The other two tracks are Madonna’s “I Don’t Search I Find,” which currently tops Billboard’s Dance Club charts. There’s a plethora of remixes that were commissioned for this song but it’s the late entry from Kue that’s got me wound up. He takes the track and underscores it with a sleazy disco grind that gives the song more urgency. In fact, I think this should have been the original conception for the song. The closest comparison would be Giorgio Moroder’s production of Donna Summer’s “Love To Love You Baby” without the 1,000 orgasms. Purple Disco Machine takes a similar approach with his rework of the Mark Ronson and Yebba collaboration “Don’t Leave Me Lonely,” which hits all the right notes.
