An artist who refuses to be pigeonholed, Piontek has managed to remain on the cutting edge while dipping his toes into various sub-genres. The Purple Disco Machine project first gained traction in 2009, rooted in a distinct Deep Funk-branded Disco House music style. Although the initial journey had its ups and downs, it was the 2013 release of "My House" that marked a turning point. The track topped the Beatport Deep House charts and became a defining moment that signaled his arrival in the mainstream. Purple Disco Machine's star really started to soar in 2018. A particular highlight was his ingenious reworking of "Male Stripper" by Man 2 Man called "(Dished) Male Stripper", that utilized one of many riffs from the iconic Loleatta Holloway. This remix effortlessly blended the camp of the original 90s techno track with a pulsating, contemporary beat, winning acclaim in both underground and mainstream dance clubs. It even earned a spot on our "Top Dance Songs of the Year" series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3I5SKItOWeI Beyond these accomplishments, he's showcased an exceptional range of adaptability. The artist has worked with a plethora of dance music's crème de la crème, from Jamiroquai and New Order to Faithless and Claptone. His transformative power as a producer has allowed songs by Hercules & Love Affair, Sigma with Paloma Faith, and even our personal favorite, Shapeshifters, to get a new lease on life on the dance floor. And it's not just his older works that keep us intrigued; he's also turned his creative flair towards newer chart-toppers. From the soulful beats of Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande's "Rain On Me" to the pulsing energy of Weiss' "Feel My Needs," his Midas touch seems to know no bounds. With each collaboration or remix, he reimagines the musical landscape, as seen with The Human League's "Don't You Want Me," Claptone & Mylo's "Drop The Pressure," and the latest offering, "Hypnotized," featuring Sophie & The Giants. Purple Disco Machine has crafted a unique Funky House style that seamlessly integrates into multiple genres. Far from being pigeonholed, his musical approach works wonders with pop anthems and underground House tracks alike. He has a particular affinity for Indie artists such as Hercules & Love Affair and Sophie & The Giants. This chameleon-like ability allows him to take any track, whether it's an iconic classic or an overlooked gem, and transform it into an irresistible dance floor magnet.

Each volume so far has been a lesson in Moran's unmatched versatility and influence, and this grand finale is no exception. Opening with Judy Torres' "Hell No," we're reminded of Tony Moran's unique skill in balancing the line between underground cred and mainstream visibility. His treatment of Torres' energetic vocals is more than just a remix; it's an electrifying sonic experience that elevates the track to a club anthem. But why stop there? Moran's mastery extends to pop princess Christina Aguilera with her hit "Ain't No Other Man." He has the magical ability to inject a new life into any track, turning it into an inescapable dance floor magnet. Another hallmark of Moran's career has been his work with some of the industry's most soulful voices, exemplified by his remix of Rihanna's "Russian Roulette." His remix isn't just a twist on the original; it's a powerful reimagining that adds a pulsing, irresistible beat, transforming it into a bona fide dance-floor classic. If ever there was a tune to light up the night, it's Erin Hamilton's "The Flame 2008." In Moran's capable hands, the song is reborn into a sonic tapestry that flares with passion and groove. Moving onto Kristine W’s “The Power of Music,” we find Tony Moran's handprints all over this masterpiece. He twists and turns the original composition into a musical narrative that effortlessly fits into the thematic richness of the Ultimate Tony Moran Legacy series. Ah, but who could forget the sassy Rosabel with Jeanie Tracy on "Cha Cha Heels"? Moran taps into the infectious energy of the track, adding an extra layer of glitter and grandeur that only he could pull off. For those who remember the booming voice of Martha Wash on Tony Moran's "Free People," this final volume is an auditory feast. It reaffirms Moran's genius for drawing out the soul from within, transforming already vibrant tracks into divine dance anthems. The volume rounds out with "Perfect Bitch," a collaboration with Jason Walker. This track brings us full circle, encapsulating Moran's trademark fusion of vigorous beats and authentic artistry. What we've learned from this four-volume series is that Tony Moran's contributions to dance music are immeasurable. He's more than a remixer or a DJ; he's a musical force that has shaped the past, the present, and will undoubtedly continue to influence the future of the genre. As we close the final chapter of this series, it's clear that Tony Moran's legacy is far from over....

Prince was an American singer, songwriter, musician, record producer, dancer, actor, and filmmaker. He was a prolific writer and recorded so many songs that his fight with Warner Brothers lead them to put the breaks on his releases for fear of oversaturation.  He often gave songs away for free under different pseudonyms like "Manic Monday" by the Bangles (Christoper), "Sugar Walls" by Sheena Easton (Alexander Nevermind), "Jungle Love" and "The Bird" by the Time (The Starr ★ Company). Also, his music was covered by other artists — most notably "I Feel For U" by Chaka Khan, "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Sinead O'Connor and even the John Cougar Mellencamp produced "When You Were Mine" by Mitch Ryder among many others. Prince also produced several acts like the Time (mentioned above), Sheila E (Glamourous Life), and Vanity 6 (Nasty Girl) as well as a host of others. Ultimately, Prince was one of a dozen artists that provided the soundtrack to the eighties. With musical styles that ranged from Funk, Rock, New Wave, Soul, Psychedelia, and pop, he was considered the quintessential artist in that he drew his inspiration from people like David Bowie, James Brown, Sly & the Family Stone, Jimi Hendrix, George Clinton, Miles Davis among many others and it showed in his music and performances. In 1985, I was living in Austin, TX, and working as a copy clerk for the Austin American Statesman and part-time for Hastings Records in the mall. We frequently received free tickets to concerts and Bruce Springsteen and Prince were playing weeks apart from each other. I was a fan of both artists but there were only so many tickets to go around so I opted for the Prince tickets. These were for his Purple Rain tour and my best friend Dan and I went to the concert where he put on a 2-hour funk and rock extravaganza as we had never seen. His performance was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and has stuck with me as one of the most memorable I had ever attended. There is just way too much to cover about this man and his genius that hasn't already been written. The contributions that Prince has made to music, his guitar skills, his songwriting his production, and his everything make him one of the most admired if not influential artists of all time. While most of the tracks in this set stay fairly close to the originals — they are presented in their long form and re-edited for easy DJ mixing along with some notable modern-day remixes by Kue who did an outstanding job ...

Fueled by a range of musical styles, Bowie often projected a variety of personalities depending on which project he was working on and where his musical interests lay at the moment. From Glam Rock to Disco and everything in between — he achieved massive success with his art that affected millions of lives with each evolving iteration.  Since his death in 2016, Party Favorz has received many requests to create a Legacy set featuring his work. Given the substantial output and variety of his catalog that goes back to 1969 — it was near impossible to do any justice to the legacy Bowie has left us — until now. There's no doubt he would have gravitated toward the current electronic movement and even began remixing his work in the early 90s.  That being said, with a variety of music styles and the ability to capture the true magic of his work — it is nearly impossible to recreate.  Nevertheless, I persisted and pulled off something special for hardcore fans (such as myself) that at the very least extract multiple highlights of his career even if it's not all-encompassing. Frankly, a good portion of his catalog would be near impossible to translate to the dance floor. I have to admit, the Julian Marsh remix of "Space Oddity" and the 7th Heaven remix of "Rebel Rebel" is spectacularly executed, as well as several others. I cannot deny the emotions that overwhelm me when I listen to his music as it brings back a flood of memories — some good, while others, not so much. It just proves that Bowie's music will stand the test of time. It is with much love and respect that Party Favorz honors David Bowie with his own tribute to dance music. Some may consider this tribute blasphemy but there's no doubt this would have been his next act. RIP Ziggy.

With a career spanning over two decades, Wayne G is nothing short of an institution in the realm of circuit music. He's a go-to name for uplifting beats, high-energy vibes, and stirring vocal performances—essentially a diva magnet. This man has meticulously crafted remixes of some of the most cherished LGBTQ anthems, breathing new life into hits from icons like Kylie Minogue and Cher. Wayne G's work can often draw favorable comparisons to another luminary of the dance world, Hex Hector. Both talents excel at creating expansive, layered anthems that build anticipation to almost unbearable levels, only to explode with euphoric energy, defying the track's extended length of over 8 minutes. While the industry's tastes have evolved, there's a timeless quality to this sort of meticulous composition that makes Wayne's tracks continually relevant. Among his standout remixes are those of Australian singer Shauna Jensen. Her powerful vocals create an electrifying atmosphere, making her tracks, as enhanced by Wayne, a siren call to the dance floor regardless of venue size. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFTyyw1p-KU The decision to include Wayne G in Party Favorz's esteemed Legacy Series was already in the pipeline, but the urgency ramped up when a devoted follower sent over some exceptional, albeit rare, tracks from Wayne's discography. Although it wasn't possible to feature his entire extensive back catalog, the curated list in this tribute is guaranteed to ignite your dance spirits and evoke gratitude to the dance music deities. A quick heads-up for the audiophiles among us: The remixes of Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful" and Anastacia's "I'm Outta Love" included in this tribute are rare bootleg versions and are in mono. Despite not being in full stereo, the quality of the remixes made them impossible to omit. So, whether you're a long-time admirer or a soon-to-be fan, it's with immense pleasure that Party Favorz honors Wayne G for his invaluable contributions to dance music and, by extension, to the tapestry of LGBTQ culture. His work doesn't merely demand your ears; it deserves them. Until the next time...ENJOY! Album: Wayne G - One Night In Heaven Genre: Circuit, Tribal, HouseYear: 2019Total Time: 03:38:46 1.

Based out of Houston, Texas, where De Lange owns popular venues like Bayou City Bar and the Eagle, these guys are not just making music; they're field-testing it in real-time in their own establishments. With roots in the club scene stretching back to the late '70s and early '80s, Dirty Disco brings a rich tapestry of musical history to their remixes and productions. This wealth of experience enables them to craft compelling soundscapes that reverberate through LGBTQ+ venues and mainstream clubs alike. In this respect, they share a creative echelon with established artists like Barry Harris and Matt Consola, who have also been driving feet to the dance floor for years. Having engaged with Mark personally, I can vouch for his genuine passion for dance music—a passion that aligns closely with our own here at Party Favorz. That depth of understanding, coupled with hands-on experience, makes Dirty Disco a formidable force in modern dance music, capable of producing genre-spanning hits. Their work weaves through Circuit Anthems, House, Disco, and Progressive genres, offering a kaleidoscopic auditory experience. Compiling this tribute set was no easy task. Despite having to trim down their extensive catalog to maintain a focused vibe, the final set is a sprawling four-hour odyssey. It's an uncut journey that showcases Dirty Disco's range and talent, featuring everything from fresh originals to rejuvenated classics and anthems. So as you celebrate PRIDE—please, make safety a priority—let this legacy-defining set from Dirty Disco fuel your joy and your dance moves. Until the next time...ENJOY!

This set is a treasure trove of anthems, masterfully reimagined by the powerhouse duo, Toy Armada & DJ Grind, into uplifting, big-room circuit bangers that celebrate the vibrant gay life. Take Demi Lovato's "Really Don't Care," for example. The original is a pop anthem in its own right, but Toy Armada & DJ Grind transform it into a euphoric ride that becomes an instant Pride classic. The same can be said for Sia's "Alive." Originally a heart-wrenching ballad, it metamorphoses under their hands into a soaring, electrifying crowd-pleaser. Let's not overlook their rework of Lady Gaga's iconic "Born This Way." The duo ramps up the empowerment factor with a tribal beat infusion, making it an inarguable call to arms for self-expression. The pair also turn their creative genius towards the Ben E. King classic, "Stand by Me," featuring a club mix from Joe Gauthreaux that encapsulates the very essence of unwielding friendship, partnership and unity. Madonna's "Get Together" is another example that reflects Toy Armada & DJ Grind's knack for maintaining the original's essence while tailoring it for a big-room atmosphere. Likewise, Ariana Grande's "No Tears Left To Cry" gets an invigorating facelift, turning the original's pop subtlety into an anthem of resilience and triumph. And, of course, we cannot skip over their monumental tribute to the disco queen, Donna Summer. Their tribal tribute mix of "Last Dance," "I Feel Love," and "Bad Girls" is nothing short of a masterstroke that elevates the tracks to new spiritual highs. So go ahead, dive into this rich tapestry of reimagined hits courtesy of Toy Armada & DJ Grind, and let the music elevate your spirit as only they can do. Until the next time...ENJOY!

Their influence pays homage to the golden age of dance music, dating back to the late '90s and early 2000s—an era dominated by legends like Hex Hector, Thunderpuss, Victor Calderone, and Peter Rauhofer. Even so, Toy Armada and DJ Grind have managed to create their own unique space, taking the musical torch from trailblazers like Thunderpuss and updating it for today's LGBTQ+ dance community. The creative chemistry between Toy Armada and DJ Grind ignited almost immediately, starting with a simple email request to collaborate on a remix of Kimberley Locke's "Feel the Love." This initial partnership became a smashing success, soaring to the top of the UK charts and laying the foundation for an enduring and highly fruitful collaboration. Both artists bring something distinct to their combined efforts: Toy Armada was already a recognized talent before teaming up with DJ Grind, and his solo work complements and enriches their shared musical identity. In our Legacy series, Party Favorz delves into the mesmerizing talents of this dynamic duo. We aim to capture the uplifting spirit and sheer joy that their music brings to audiences—a gift to the LGBTQ+ community that goes beyond mere amusement. They have skillfully transformed this uplifting energy into remixes that provide the backdrop for some of the most unforgettable moments on the dance floor, creating a nearly transcendental experience for their fans. In an increasingly divided world, the work of Toy Armada and DJ Grind stands as a compelling example of music's power to unite and elevate us all. Their music acts as a celebration of gay pride in its own right, offering an auditory journey that embodies the values of inclusivity, love, and the pure thrill of being alive and dancing in a crowd. Party Favorz celebrates Toy Armada and DJ Grind for their monumental contributions to the world of dance music. Their work serves as a beacon of happiness and unity, imbuing our lives with the unique joy that comes from dancing in a crowd of people who share your rhythm and soul. We eagerly anticipate what the next chapter will bring for this incredible partnership. Until the next time...ENJOY!

He has sold over nine million albums and thirty million singles worldwide.[2] In 2011, Guetta was voted as the number one DJ in the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs poll.[3] In 2013, Billboard crowned "When Love Takes Over" with Kelly Rowland as the number-one dance-pop collaboration of all time.[4] David Guetta had already been involved in the club scene since 1984 - 2000. However, it wasn't until he and partner Joachim Garraud collaborated with the American Gospel singer Chris Willis for a series of songs including their first single "Just a Little More Love." That collaboration spawned several more releases and the eventual compilation of F*ck Me I'm Famous. in 2003. In 2004, their collaborations continued with the release of Guetta Blaster. After releasing four semi-successful singles it was a mashup of "Just a Little More Love" and the Tocadisco remix of The Egg's "Walking Away" titled "Love Don't Let Me Go (Walking Away)" that blew up the global dance floors. The rest they say is history. We all know the name David Guetta as one of the most successful DJs, producers, and songwriters of the early millennium. His superstar status skyrocketed with the massively successful "When Love Takes Over" with Kelly Rowland and later "Titanium" with Sia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRfuAukYTKg As the dance music world evolved, so did his style. He went from Electro-House to EDM and now Future House, Reggaeton, and whatever the current trend in dance music takes him. David Guetta is still in high demand and often releases tracks under his pseudonym Jack Black. He just had a number-one Billboard Dance Club hit with "Put Your Phone Down (Low)" not to mention the wildly successful "Wild Ones" with Nicky Romero and Sia. You could say that David Guetta paved the way for other superstar DJs like Avicii, Calvin Harris, Marshmello, and The Chainsmokers by elevating these folks not just from being a DJ or dance party promoters but to multi-talented artists in their own right. It's with great love and respect for the man and his music that Party Favorz recognizes the very talented David Guetta with an induction into our Legacy series. There are a lot of memories built into this set and I fully expect a lot of you to fall back on your heels when you hear a lot of these older tracks again. 10 years ago was not that far back but many of these songs are now considered classics. Because his output is so extensive, I attempted to culminate some of his early work with the majority of his biggest hits, which ultimately span two sets.
