Well, batten down the hatches, lower the boom, and raise the mizzenmast because Party Favorz is moving full speed ahead!



I'm back with volume 4 of Gay Pride Anthems for 2017 titled A Little Respect.



As usual, this set is packed with massive Gay Anthems in their original glory days format plus several alternate mixes and a couple that has never been included in previous efforts.



I will say that Faith Evans's "Mesmerized" is the ONLY reason I'm still here today doing what I do. Between 2004 and 2005, I was putting in 60-70 hour work weeks for AT&T and was not feeling the dance music landscape. At the time, dance music had taken a dark turn and even shiny happy songs were being turned into these doom-and-gloom 10-minute epics of despair that just weren't my style.



It wasn't until the end of 2005 that a friend and I went out to the bars when Rick had gone back to Texas for his niece's Quinceañera. When I heard the remix of Mesmerized and subsequently Loving You More, I was so blown away I had to do the one thing you just don't do. That is, pester the DJ about the title, artist, and remixer of the songs. Freemasons were making a name for themselves right about the time Moto Blanco was doing the same. Suddenly, I got that itch because house music was evolving into something that made me happy, and I wanted to dance.
