Party Favorz is back with Thunderpuss Dance Music Tribute Volume 2, celebrating the powerhouse remixes of Barry Harris and Chris Cox. Volume 1 brought the dance floor heat, and this second installment keeps it coming with big vocals, driving rhythms, and some of the duo’s most memorable club anthems.
Thunderpuss knew how to build a remix around a song’s strongest moments. Their productions gave the vocals room to breathe before bringing the full force of the beat back into the mix. That balance of emotion and energy runs throughout this collection, connecting songs about joy, heartbreak, freedom, and finding the strength to move forward.
Thunderpuss Dance Music Tribute: Let the Joy Rise
Opening the set, Abigail’s “Let the Joy Rise” captures the uplifting spirit that made Thunderpuss such a force in club music. The vocal carries the message, while the production gives it the momentum to fill a room.
There’s a sense of release in this remix that goes beyond its driving beat. Thunderpuss builds anticipation around Abigail’s performance, making each return to the chorus feel bigger. It’s a fitting introduction to a volume packed with songs that turn personal emotion into a shared dance floor experience.
Janet Jackson and Pet Shop Boys Bring the Celebration
Next, Janet Jackson’s “All for You” brings a playful change of pace. Thunderpuss gives the song extra muscle without losing Janet’s easy charm. The bass hits hard, the rhythm pushes forward, and her vocal keeps the whole thing light on its feet.
Meanwhile, Pet Shop Boys’ “New York City Boy” delivers a different kind of celebration. Its affection for New York nightlife already makes it a natural club anthem. The Thunderpuss remix expands that atmosphere with a bigger sound and the theatrical touches that made their productions stand out.
The chanting breakdown is one of those moments that begs for a packed room. It lets the anticipation build before the rhythm takes over again. For LGBTQ+ listeners, the song’s embrace of nightlife and belonging gives the celebration added meaning.
Amber and Lara Fabian Take the Vocals Higher
Amber’s “Above the Clouds” and Lara Fabian’s “I Will Love Again” bring two commanding voices into the mix. Both songs offer the kind of emotional lift that Thunderpuss could turn into a peak dance floor moment.
“Above the Clouds” pairs Amber’s warmth with a production that keeps reaching upward. By contrast, “I Will Love Again” draws its strength from determination after heartbreak. Lara Fabian delivers that promise with conviction, and the remix gives it a powerful rhythmic foundation.
Together, these tracks show why vocals mattered so much to the Thunderpuss sound. The duo understood when to pull back, when to build, and when to let a singer take control.
Tamia’s “Stranger in My House”: A Club Favorite
Tamia’s “Stranger in My House” brought relationship doubt and betrayal to the dance floor through remixes that became favorites in their own right. Both HQ2—Hex Hector and Mac Quayle—and Thunderpuss found ways to amplify the tension in her performance.
The Thunderpuss version leans into that drama with a forceful rhythm and a vocal that remains front and center. Tamia’s questions carry weight, even as the production keeps the room moving.
Each remix offered its own interpretation. For listeners who remember hearing both versions in the clubs, the appeal lies in how differently they approached the same emotional material.
Mary J. Blige’s “No More Drama” Finds Release
With Mary J. Blige’s “No More Drama”, Thunderpuss brings the emotional intensity to another level. The familiar melody associated with The Young and the Restless sets the mood before the tribal percussion builds beneath Mary’s vocal.
Her performance moves from exhaustion toward resolve, giving the remix a clear emotional direction. As the beat gathers strength, that demand for peace becomes something an entire room can feel together.
Its place among gay anthems makes sense. Listeners can bring their own experiences to its message, whether they’re leaving a damaging relationship, confronting addiction, or simply seeking relief from daily struggles.
Whitney Houston Closes With “Try It on My Own”
Finally, Whitney Houston’s “Try It on My Own” brings independence and self-belief into focus. Thunderpuss gives the ballad a club setting while preserving the strength of Whitney’s message.
Her voice anchors the remix. The production supports that declaration of autonomy, turning a personal statement into a moment of collective release.
Thunderpuss Dance Music Tribute Volume 2 celebrates the range Barry Harris and Chris Cox brought to dance music. From joyful hooks to hard-earned resilience, these remixes give powerful performances the space—and the beats—to shine.
Until the next time…ENJOY!
