The ATL has finally started to cool down while Party Favorz keeps heating up with our annual Fall Edition featuring the biggest circuit anthems of the season! I decided not to make everyone wait another week for this drop because I was able to get a couple of major things out of the way earlier in the week.
A lot is going on in this set that features something for everyone. Of course, we’ve got all the latest circuit hits and pop hits remixed into circuit anthems, but I’m starting to pull in some mashups for this series and a couple of unexpected 80s throwbacks threw me off track but were so good they had to be included. The Journey x Edson Pride remix of Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) is monumental.
We closed out the set with another one of Joel Dickinson’s (a.k.a. Thee Werqn B!tches) deliciously devilish mashups featuring the unlikely casting of Lizzo, 4 Non Blondes, and Barbra Streisand mixed into a delightful confection of hi-energy glitterama.
Jace M & Toy Armada have graced us with an uplifting tribute mix of Everyday by Kim English which has been one of the top circuit anthems for the ages. This version is their signature style, which suits the track and its positive message.
With the recent passing of Olivia Newton-John, I thought it was fitting to pay tribute to this gay icon. The woman has a treasure trove of music with five #1 hits, a multitude of Top 10 hits, two #1 albums, and she’s a 4-time Grammy winner who has sold over 100 million albums worldwide.
Many people aren’t aware that her career (much like Taylor Swift) started in country music, then country pop before moving to pop music. Most of you do know that she starred opposite John Travolta in Grease, whose soundtrack is one of the world’s biggest-selling albums.
Newton-John battled breast cancer three times and was an advocate for breast cancer research as well as environmental and animal rights. As a gay icon and ally to our community, she appeared in the 1996 drama It’s My Party — a movie about AIDS and dying with dignity.
I noticed that there weren’t any remixes for Miss Newton-John other than Physical (thank you Leo Blanco) so I dug out the Victor Calderone remix of Hopelessly Devoted To You from the Grease soundtrack, which — despite its age — fits perfectly into this circuit anthems set. Barry Harris had recently reworked Xanadu but I thought that wouldn’t quite fit in and only a few of my followers would get it.
I just wanted to pay my respects and give love to this woman who was a big part of my life.
Now, I’m officially taking this next week off and will be back the following week with one of my bucket list series. Until then…ENJOY!
