80s Dance Classics: The Essential 80's Dance Mix Vol. 6 (2019)

Saturday, February 1, 2020 • Duration 02:29:33

This episode is 80s dance music — The Essential 80's Dance Mix, Vol. 6 (2019) — assembled to gather notable tracks that missed the earlier volumes and to close this particular chapter of the series. The two-and-a-half-hour mix leans on classic remixes and club-edits to keep a steady floor-ready flow, with careful sequencing that sometimes took weeks to perfect.

Highlights include ABC's Look Of Love (Ultimix), Eurythmics' Sweet Dreams in a Culture Shock remix, Human League staples Don’t You Want Me and (Keep Feeling) Fascination in Edge remixes, plus Bananarama's Venus and Madonna's Open Your Heart among others. The set balances Hot Tracks and Ultimix-era reworks with Select Mix and Edge edits to emphasize dancefloor energy without losing the originals' melodic hooks.

Party Favorz notes a temporary pause on more 80s compilations but promises future revisits for New Order, Depeche Mode, and SAW-era material. For now, volume 6 is a nostalgic, remix-forward send-off: sit back and enjoy the classics retooled for motion.

Saturday, January 25, 2020 • Duration 02:34:32

This is an 80s dance mix—The Essential 80's Dance Mix Volume 5—focused on Hi-Energy (NRG) cuts and classic club reworks from 2019. The set serves as a deep dive into the NRG lineage that helped shape 90s hard dance, while also sprinkling in crossover floor favorites to keep the momentum varied. Highlights include the Communards’ Select Mix of “Never Can Say Goodbye,” Lisa’s Almighty 12" Definitive “Rocket To Your Heart,” and Evelyn Thomas’ Almighty 12" “High Energy,” alongside staple party anthems like Dead or Alive’s Razormaid take on “You Spin Me ’round” and Sylvester’s “Do Ya Wanna Funk.” The compilation even throws in a cheeky Ultimix of Rick James’ “Super Freak,” showing how 80s funk and pop fit into the era’s club culture. Run time is about two and a half hours across definitive remixes and extended edits, making this volume a solid listener-ready survey of 80s NRG and dance-floor classics.

80s Alternative Dance Megamix: Hit That Perfect Beat! (2017)

Friday, February 3, 2017 • Duration 01:27:42

This is an 80s alternative dance megamix from 2017, a BackSpin-style set that revisits the decade’s clubpiercing synths and post‑punk energy with a personal touch. Party Favorz curates selections that reflect the end‑of‑decade tastes—less obvious hits, more dancefloor edits and Razormaid/Hot Tracks remixes—to capture that darker, arty side of 80s club culture.

Expect extended mixes and classic remixes from Yaz, New Order, Erasure, Bronski Beat and more, plus unexpected entries like Dominatrix and Front 242 that push the set toward industrial and EBM textures. Highlights include Razormaid treatments of “Bizarre Love Triangle” and “Hit That Perfect Beat,” S‑Express and Information Society turns that keep the groove rolling, and a nostalgic nod to the DJ’s formative mixtape era.

The mix runs like a late‑night radio program for listeners who remember the original scene and for newer fans tracking where today’s indie and electronic influences originated. Enjoy the arrangement and the era-specific remix aesthetic.

80s Dance Classics: The Essential 80's Dance Mix Vol. 4

Sunday, November 3, 2019 • Duration 02:16:50

80s dance music — The Essential 80's Dance Mix, Volume 4 (2019) — serves as a two-hour-plus crash course in the era’s club-friendly pop and alternative dance. This installment balances big commercial hits with edgier alternative cuts, sequencing Ultimix and Select Mix versions into a cohesive, nostalgia-forward set meant for both casual listeners and longtime fans. Highlights land where you'd expect: Paula Abdul’s “Straight Up” opens with kinetic energy, Madonna turns up twice with “Like A Prayer” and “Holiday,” and Jody Watley supplies prime R&B-tinged dance with “Don’t You Want Me.” The mix also nods to the club underground with Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s “Relax,” Depeche Mode’s Tim Simenon & Mark Saunders take on “Strangelove,” and a Razormaid-styled “West End Girls” from Pet Shop Boys. Rounding out the ride are singalong closers like Rick Astley and Whitney Houston, making Volume 4 an accessible, well-curated snapshot of 80s dance culture.

This 2019 80s Dance compilation — The Essential 80's Dance Mix Volume 3 — is a two-hour Urban-flavored set built to celebrate the decade’s funk, R&B dance, electro and early rap. Party Favorz spent two weeks selecting and editing tracks to create a flowing mix that shifts between chart pop, alternative dance touches, and the era’s pioneering club sounds. Highlights include inventive pairings and remixes such as the mashup of Grandmaster Flash’s White Lines with Herbie Hancock’s Rock It, plus club-ready takes on Janet Jackson’s Nasty and Rob Base & DJ EZ-Rock’s It Takes Two. The set also features Run-DMC’s Walk This Way, Salt-N-Pepa’s Push It and Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam’s I Wonder If I Take You Home, among other classics. Taken as a whole the mix sketches a concise history of 80s dance floors—synth grooves, electro-funk, and rap’s early party moments—while keeping a DJ’s sense of momentum and crowd-pleasing familiarity.

Wednesday, October 9, 2019 • Duration 02:30:39

80s Dance Classics — The Essential 80s Dance Mix Vol. 1 (2019) is the first of six volumes assembling the era’s synth-driven, club-ready sounds. This episode maps the decade’s shift from disco foundations to mid‑80s synth pop and the underground house scenes that emerged in Chicago and New York. Highlights include synth-pop staples like Duran Duran’s “All She Wants Is,” the genre‑blending grit of Grace Jones’ “I’m Not Perfect,” and early house-influenced cuts such as Anthony & The Camp’s “What I Like.” The set also revisits pop-dance moments from Samantha Fox and Whitney Houston, with a lineup of Ultimix, Hot Classics, Select Mix, and Edge remixes that emphasize how DJs and re-edits shaped the club experience. Running over two and a half hours, this volume pulls selections from Party Favorz’s earlier themed mixes while keeping the focus tight on dancefloor-friendly edits and remixes.

80's Dance Megamix: Back 2 the 80's Volume 2 (2018)

Sunday, April 8, 2018 • Duration 02:05:49

This episode is an 80’s dance megamix — Back 2 the 80’s Volume 2 — built as a two-hour celebration of classic club hits from the era. Originally intended as part of a longer set, this 2018 mix stitches together Ultimix and Hot Tracks versions, remixes, and club edits to keep the floor energy moving from start to finish. It’s a curator’s run-through of the period rather than a deepest-dive anthology, made for listeners who want nonstop, familiar dancefloor moments.

Highlights include Chaka Khan, Donna Summer, Janet Jackson, Sylvester, Kylie Minogue and Gwen Guthrie, with Ben Liebrand and other remix touches cropping up across the sequence. The host notes a duplicate placement of Gwen Guthrie’s “Ain’t Nothin’ Goin’ On But The Rent” and leaves it in as a wink; the full mix runs about 2:05:50. If you like tightly sequenced 80s club edits and recognisable sing-along hooks, this set delivers a nonstop, party-ready playlist.

80s Dance Megamix: Back 2 the 80's Volume 1

Wednesday, April 4, 2018 • Duration 02:15:18

This 2018 80's Dance set — Back 2 the 80's Volume 1 — is a two-part megamix of commercial dance classics assembled for seamless club-style listening. Party Favorz moves a decade up from disco into the synth-and-drum‑machine era, highlighting the snare-driven timing and DJ-friendly edits that made 80s mixes so transitionable in live settings.

The mix leans on popular unauthorized service remixes from Ultimix, Hot Tracks and Razormaid to smooth transitions between tracks. Highlights include Paula Abdul, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, Duran Duran, Rick Astley, and Neneh Cherry, with selections like "Straight Up," "Pleasure Principle," and "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" presented in extended remix form. The producer also notes a tricky edit on Aretha Franklin's "Freeway of Love," which required manual timing work to fit the mix, but the final two-hour-plus result aims to capture that Reagan‑era dance floor energy without losing flow.

80s Dance Alternative Megamix: Pure Energy (2017)

Sunday, February 5, 2017 • Duration 01:23:23

This episode is an 80s alternative dance megamix titled Pure Energy, a BackSpin collection that leans into synth-pop, industrial-tinged club cuts, and nostalgia. Recorded for 2017 listeners, the mix revisits the decade’s darker electronic edges while still serving up dancefloor-friendly versions of familiar hits.

Highlights include extended and Razormaid-style mixes from Erasure, Pet Shop Boys, Dead or Alive, and New Order, with Information Society’s “What’s On Your Mind (Pure Energy)” and Patrick Cowley’s “Megatron Man” anchoring the set. The host reflects on how industrial and punk-influenced electronic tracks delivered a stripped-down, angry poetry that still resonates, and previews a possible shift toward deeper, more politically pointed selections in future mixes.

Run time is 1:23:23 and the set mixes commercial synth-pop with tougher underground textures, offering both singalong moments and harsher, club-oriented cuts for listeners who remember — or are discovering — 80s alternative dance.
