Okay, folks. Many of you had asked that I reinstate the previous donation plugin as it is a smoother and more secure process. I have now set up the original donation plugin that includes options for PayPal, Credit and Debit cards, Apple Pay, and G Pay. I may go back and add a wire transfer…
The 2018 annual Atlanta Pride festival kicked off on Friday, which ends today with the massive parade in mid-town Piedmont Park. I know this area very well because Rick and I lived there for over 10 years. Over the years, I’ve attended many Pride celebrations in Austin, Houston, and Dallas, TX. I’ve been to Atlanta…
Party Favorz is in the process of finalizing the Gay Pride 2018 sets for your upcoming celebrations. Generally, I don’t release these until June but due to personal circumstances, I wanted to ensure their timely release as Pride celebrations are already occurring in various localities throughout the United States. For those that are about to…
As promised, I’ve got some serious boogie heading your way sometime this week but shortly after, I’m forecasting a DIVA blizzard like we’ve never seen before. I won’t say how much divalicious-ness is going to drop but you can expect at least 12 inches of hairspray, lipstick, and eyeliner in the next couple of weeks. In the…
We’re gonna go back, way back…way back in time! A time where the birth of House Music had exploded and spread its message of love, hope, and despair across the masses and infected our minds, body, and souls. Of course, I’m talking about the 90’s. I’ve got some long overdue volumes dropping soon that will…
Well it looks like I managed to pull it off and finished reworking the lost episodes from 2007. For the most part, they are surprisingly good, with a heavy emphasis on Funky Edition 2007 v6 and Deep Edition 2007 v4 (an outstanding laidback chill mix if ever there was one). I flipped two the songs…
I had been planning for a while now to fill in the missing gaps from 2007. Even though there are posts prior to October 7, 2007, the very first post I ever created was the Deep Edition 2007 v1 on that day. I was actually calling the series “Leftovers” when I was trying to get…
It’s been 10 years and Party Favorz has officially come full circle. We started out with Podbean as our host, then moved to Pod-o-matic, then to Libsyn, then to House-Mixes, then it was self-hosted on Amazon and then to Blubrry and finally back to where it all began; Podbean. Party Favorz has been hosted on…
Happy 4th of July! I’ll bet ya’ll thought I had snuck away, never to return. While this has been an unusually long period of absence for Party Favorz, I’ve been busy with a host of new projects. As ya’ll know, one of those projects was the creation of a personalized mix for Samuel, one of…
Over the years, Party Favorz has compiled some of the most epic and classic Pride and Gay Anthems sets ever made. I’ve tinkered with several of them by adding in a song here and there that I forgot but ultimately, it becomes less cohesive than I want it to be. In my 10th year (and possibly…
PayPal donations button has finally been fixed! Not trying to sound ominous but …the renewal date for the hosting account of Party Favorz (i.e. the backbone that keeps this site alive) is coming up on April 23rd. Originally, I had set a goal of $900 for self-managed hosting so I didn’t have to deal with…
I’ve been getting some interesting stuff sent to me on Twitter. So much so, I’ll be picking a couple of tracks to include in my sets depending on the genre. EDM/Dance is my preference, but Funky House, Deep & Future House with Circuit will also be considered based on what I’m working on at any…
HUGE THANKS TO MY HUSBAND FOR HELPING ME ADD SOME COHERENCE TO MY RAMBLINGS! Many of my you may have noticed that I had been MIA since Thursday last week, while yet others may have noticed but didn’t make a big deal of it, as this wasn’t the first time I have disappeared without sounding…
A new year has arrived and I’ll bet resolutions have already been broken. One promise that has been kept is that Party Favorz keeps chugging along with some of the most devout followers of any podcast and for that, I am grateful. Going on our 10th year, I can’t believe I’ve managed to keep this…
I’m not trying to brag on myself, but I was just over at Beatport doing a little holiday shopping in hopes of rounding out my final set of the year. I’ll be damned if they didn’t add a new category to their roster. Wanna guess what it is? Here’s a quote from the Year in…
I appreciate all of the increased traffic and the popularity of Party Favorz but this has gotten out of control. The main reason I had implemented the Membership program earlier this year was to control the amount of traffic and cover my costs, which by all accounts worked flawlessly (until it didn’t). Issues arose that…
The concept of Party Favorz started in 1999 when I’d get off a gig and show up at after-hours parties. People would ask if I had any party favors. Of course they were talking about CD mixes that I frequently sold for $10 each. After a lot of back and forth trying to come up…
One of our longtime followers from the UK, Soen has been gracious enough to fix the final issue with streaming and downloads. Folks, WE ARE OFFICIALLY READY 2 ROLL!!! >>>Keep your eyes on this space.<<< Okay folks, I just finished the final mixdown on not one but two sets scheduled to drop on Friday and…
Going forward, I want to let everyone know that Party Favorz will continue on to the best of my ability. I also want to thank many of the folks that subscribed to the site and to give a shout out to Anthony for donating $100; always appreciated. Due to the complications that arose from a…
For the past several months, it’s been crazy here at Party Favorz and it feels like the roof is on fire! Of course, I’m speaking figuratively, but for those of you who haven’t been able to keep up and feel a bit overwhelmed by my output, you’ll get a small reprieve this week. I had…
On the eve of posting one of the most MOMENTOUS Madonna birthday celebrations I’ve ever created, I thought now would be a good time to prove to ya’ll my DIVA bonafides. Am I a raving lunatic that hangs on her or any other of my favorite diva’s every last word? Nope. Do I follow all of…
I am so fucking sick and tired of listening to this thin-skinned whiny bitch and his moron followers, I thought I’d update the cover art of a podcast I made in 2011. Actually, I think this originally comes from a Sex Pistols cover (maybe) so the original is not mine; just the new faces. Please share…
One of the most influential artists that changed my life. R.I.P. David. I’ve gotten several requests to create a megamix of Bowie’s music but frankly, I just don’t have the time. Honestly, I’m not even certain there’s enough “dance” material to put it together. Instead, I thought this AWESOME Sanny X megamix from 1990 should…
I thought I’d go ahead and preview some of the completed cover art for some of the upcoming sets. I’ve got one more House Sessions cover in the works and I’ve got this year’s Hot Santa(s) picked out for the annual Holiday Edition but haven’t started work on those just yet. Everything is tentative, since…
Sorry folks, I’ve got way too much on my plate. This ain’t gonna happen.
After a whirlwind of posts from what has been a lackluster summer in dance music (IMHO), I’m taking a much needed break from the site. Monday, I start a new job but more important, I’m supposed to find out if I get the federal job I had applied for some months ago. I just got…
As we all know, August is Madonna’s birthday month. In keeping with the Party Favorz tradition, I’ve got a brand-spanking new set on tap to celebrate this annual festivity with her little monsters. Oh wait, that’s another diva, I digress. What I meant was “her fans.” Party Favorz has opened up the Diva Hall of…
Party Favorz plans on putting together a Hex Hector Tribute mix for this fantastic DJ, who has worked over some of our favorite DIVAS from the past decade. So think really hard, because there are definitely some obscurities in his repertoire that you don’t want to miss. The songs can be from his solo work…
Since my Google Drive is all used up, I’m in the process of restoring all of the past Diva Hall of Fame inductees back to the site for download. Keep in mind, anything let’s say from late last year til now that’s low quality download, can still be access via the drive and/or you would…
The United States is on the cusp of a MAJOR change in policy towards gay marriages. The SCOTUS, is set to hand down a decision challenging a ban on same-sex marriage that will have a rippling effect throughout all 50 states. Just because I recently had a failed 14-year relationship that didn’t get to see…
