We’re in the final weeks of summer, but that doesn’t mean Party Favorz is taking a vacation. When you don’t see us posting for a week, it usually means we’re buried in the studio working on what comes next. This month, we’re dropping some serious bombs, starting with Summer Sweat 2026 Volume 2 and another round of the hottest dance club music burning up the season.
Picking up where we left off in July, the dancefloor has only gotten hotter. Summer Sweat 2026 Volume 2 starts in cool mode with some ultra-hot Hip-Hop & R&B House from it’s murph and Khalid, Drake, and Cloonee & Prospa. From there, the temperature steadily rises until all bets are off.
From Hip-Hop House to Peak Hour Heat
SIDEPIECE and HILLS keep things moving before we hit Gino Figliolini’s “Stomp,” a track that is completely flying under the radar when it shouldn’t be. It uses a familiar early-2000s riff that could be dropped into almost any decade and still pack a dancefloor.
There’s a long history of recycling these loops and turning them into something new. DJs would be wise not to sit this one out. “Stomp” is exactly the kind of record you want in your late-night arsenal when the floor is packed and everybody is ready to sweat.
It’s also time to name the dance song of the summer. There were several serious contenders, including ANOTR’s “Talk To Me” and Prospa & Cloonee’s “Free Your Mind,” but this year’s crown goes to “Movin To the Sun” by Hugel, Ultra Naté and Imael Angel.
This is the song that just keeps delivering. Paky Francavilla takes the original Afro House groove and flips it into an all-out peak-hour monster without losing the warmth that made the track work in the first place.
Retro Favorites Get a Modern House Makeover
Oliver Heldens, Kryder and The Young Punx take us back to the ’80s with their rework of “AEIOU,” reshaping the retro New Wave track into modern electronic House while keeping enough of its original personality intact.
Likewise, Franco Lippi revives the 1958 party classic “Tequila,” a song that seems destined to receive a fresh dancefloor makeover every few years. This latest version gives the familiar instrumental another shot of modern House production without taking away the fun.
Another standout is “Barthelona” from longtime Party Favorz favorite duo Sofi Tukker. Many of their recent releases haven’t received traditional extended mixes, but that doesn’t stop us from taking what they give us and making it work inside our sets.
As usual, Sofi Tukker move into their sun-soaked, quirky territory where everything feels loose, colorful and slightly unhinged. Their extended time in Brazil and Spain continues to influence their sound as they pull elements from earlier releases into something that feels fresh. We’re here for it.
“Barthelona” also provides a natural gateway into Porter Robinson’s return to the top of the dance charts with “WannaCry.” With its signature Porter Robinson sound, “WannaCry” lands as one of those records that simply feels right for summer.
Summer Sweat Heads Into the Late Night
From there, Summer Sweat 2026 Volume 2 moves firmly into late-night territory.
The Floorplan remix of Madonna’s “Love Sensation” pulls early-2000s-style riffs into the mix while transforming the original into a massive peak-hour track. It’s big, muscular and designed for a packed room.
Adam Tenet follows with his latest, “Beat Goes On,” which surprisingly samples The Whispers’ early-’80s disco classic of the same name. This isn’t some straightforward Nu Disco update. Instead, Tenet uses a light touch, referencing the original while building something that stands entirely on its own.
The result is a House track that could work in several different settings, but we especially like its deeper undertone. That mood transitions perfectly into an even deeper remake of the early-’90s House classic “Good Life.”
Twin Diplomacy then delivers a darker remix of Daft Punk’s massive “Get Lucky,” before Yotto reaches back into the ’80s with “Good Time (Clothes Off).” The track cheekily flips the message of “You Don’t Have To Take Your Clothes Off” into an invitation to do exactly the opposite, closing the set with a wink and a smile.
New Dance Club Music With One Foot in the Past
On paper, parts of this set might look like a throwback collection. It really isn’t.
The backbone of Summer Sweat 2026 Volume 2 comes from the new Tech House, Bass House, Afro House and contemporary dance club music currently riding high around the world. The classics and familiar samples simply provide connective tissue between generations of dance music.
That combination is what makes this set work.
Summer Sweat Volume 2 is a snapshot of what’s happening on dancefloors right now, while also grabbing records that many DJs may have overlooked. That’s why we spend so much time digging through new releases. The obvious hits are easy to find. It’s those hidden gems buried several pages deep that often turn out to be the tracks everyone asks about later.
Party Favorz will take another week off before returning with what used to be an annual release. We took an extended break from this particular series — much like one of our favorite diva — but the recovery period is over and the comeback is ready.
Until the next time…ENJOY!
