Aretha Franklin: Legacy | Modern Dance Reworks of Her Iconic Hits [Expanded]
Aretha Franklin first earned her spot in the Diva Hall of Fame back in 2016. Diving into her extensive discography—much of which predates my own musical awakening—left me utterly captivated. It's not just house music or the dance genres celebrated on Party Favorz that fascinate me; I'm a music aficionado through and through. My love spans everything from Motown to Stax, Soul, Disco, New Wave, Hard Rock, Punk, Country, and Pop. Franklin stands out as a monumental figure in my musical landscape. Whether I need a boost or I'm already riding a high, her songs are my go-to. Her vocal prowess and stylistic versatility are unmatched, and her influence during the politically charged 60s—when civil rights and anti-war protests were front and center—makes her deserving of her title, the Queen of Soul. Although Party Favorz focuses predominantly on dance music, Franklin's contributions to the genre shouldn't be underestimated. While she wasn't initially part of the dance music scene, her foray into it began in the early 80s with the disco classic "Jump To It" and later in the decade after switching Clive Davis' Arista Records on hits like "Freeway of Love," "Who's Zoomin' Who," and "Another Night." These songs showed her knack for genre fluidity. By the early 90s, Franklin had truly ventured into House Music, thanks to the C + C Music Factory's remix of "A Deeper Love" from the "Sister Act 2" soundtrack. This track has not only become a staple in DJ sets but is also an iconic anthem for the LGBTQ+ community. Worth noting is how today's DJs are reviving many of Franklin's earlier hits for new audiences. These songs are often sampled and remixed, creating a bridge between her legacy and contemporary dance music. This updated set is an extension of her original Diva Hall of Fame induction, and it incorporates new releases and alternate versions that weren't initially featured. As I heard about Franklin's illness, I felt compelled to revisit and expand this collection. I won't lie; blending these diverse genres was a complex undertaking, but it's been a labor of love. Today, Party Favorz honors Aretha Franklin, an undisputed icon in American music history, in the only way we know how. With utmost love and R-E-S-P-E-C-T, ladies and gentlemen, I present the incredible Aretha Franklin. Until the next time...ENJOY! Since the passing of Miss Aretha, there were several more remixes that dropped and suddenly, the second edition of her Diva Hall of Fame (and now Legacy) entries felt incomplete. I've since gone back and reworked the entire mix with the new entries and remastered everything for an overall better listening experience. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it.  Donate and keep the party going! Album : Aretha Franklin [1942 - 2018] | Legacy Genre : House, Soul Year : 2018 Total Time : 2:17:32 1.

Celebrating Tina Turner: A Tribute Dance Mix Honoring the Queen of Rock & Soul
Tina Turner (born Anna Mae Bullock on November 26, 1939) — the trailblazing, irrepressible "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll" — has passed away. Her impact on music and pop culture cannot be overstated. In her honor, Party Favorz is reposting her induction into the Diva Hall of Fame, celebrating a life and career that transcended and redefined boundaries. From the turbulent beginnings as Ike & Tina Turner's dynamic frontwoman, she rose from the ashes of an abusive relationship to shine as a solo performer. Tina's influence reached across genres, nations, and generations. Her 1984 breakthrough album, "Private Dancer," catapulted her to the apex of music stardom, establishing her as a powerhouse with an indomitable spirit and a voice that left an indelible mark on the world of music. Throughout her career, Tina Turner accrued an impressive list of accolades: 12 Grammy Awards, recognition as the first black artist to grace Rolling Stone's cover, inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and standing among the best-selling artists of all time. Turner never stopped pushing boundaries, not even in her twilight years. She embarked on a worldwide tour from 2008 - 2009, followed by the "Tina! 50th Anniversary Tour," which stood as the 9th highest grossing tour of 2009. Tina Turner's contribution to music wasn't confined to rock and roll. Her work found resonance on dance floors in the 80s and 90s, thanks to extended dance versions and remixes of her songs, which bridged the gap to the emerging house music scene. Notably, "When the Heartache Is Over" from her final album "Twenty Four Seven" found major success after being remixed for the dancefloor. Not just a musical phenomenon, Tina Turner also emerged as a gay icon, commanding a massive fan following within the LGBTQ+ community. This recognition led to her well-deserved induction into the Diva Hall of Fame. As we remember Tina Turner, we acknowledge her vast musical catalogue that encompassed various styles, genres, and tempos. Her music was a testament to her talent, transcending boundaries and blending effortlessly into various musical landscapes. Tonight, as HBO re-airs the documentary "Tina," we bid farewell to this musical maverick. At 80, Tina Turner leaves behind a legacy that is as grand as it is inspiring. She gifted the world six decades of her unique sound, leaving an indelible mark on music and culture. As we honor the incomparable Tina Turner's entry into the Diva Hall of Fame, we remember and celebrate her life, her exceptional career, and the joy she brought into our lives. Tina, you will be sorely missed. Rest in peace, Queen. Donate and keep the party going!

Donna Summer the Queen of Disco — The Casablanca Years Revisited
Donna Summer, the queen of Disco, a name synonymous with the divas of the music industry, has rightfully earned her place in the prestigious Diva Hall of Fame. Alongside icons like Diana Ross, Cher, and Madonna, Donna Summer's legacy as the Queen of Disco is undisputed. With the recent release of the Neil Bogart biopic "Spinning Gold," which chronicles the illustrious career of this visionary pop music hitmaker, who also happened to be the head of one of the most successful music labels capitalizing on the Disco trend of the 1970s, and the upcoming HBO documentary titled "Love To Love You," which features never-before-seen photographs and video footage shot by Miss Summer herself and has extensive involvement from her daughter Brooklyn Sudano, Party Favorz, felt it was finally time to pay tribute to the most important part of Donna Summer's career and her timeless songs that earned her the title "Queen of Disco." Previous tribute sets to Donna Summer by Party Favorz featured the original versions of her songs. However, due to the nature of the way songs were created in the past, with live orchestras and bands, the tempos were not always conducive to modern DJ mixing. This was evident in her retrospective album "On The Radio" released in 1980, where the label released a mixed version of the songs in an edited format, using synthesized effects in between songs to create the illusion of a mix. Party Favorz, took on the challenge of editing the original versions into a continuous mix that utilized more of the lengthy originals, staying true to the original sound of Donna Summer's music, and the result was fantastic. This revisited series of Donna Summer's music also delves into her often-overlooked repertoire from the 1980s, a mixed bag of hits and misses. However, when Donna Summer nailed it, she did so with great fanfare, and Party Favorz wanted to showcase these gems, allowing listeners to experience more of her songs as they were originally released for the dance floor. With some dramatic tempo changes in the songs, Party Favorz got creative in finalizing the track order to ensure a seamless listening experience for Donna Summer's devoted fans, who are sure to be pleased with the final product. Donna Summer's career had a resurgence in the late 1990s, resulting in an entirely new era for her music. While Party Favorz has previously released what was thought to be the ultimate collection of this period, the continuous release of new modern-day remixes of her biggest hits has prompted a second volume, set to drop later this year, to capture this ongoing evolution of Donna Summer's music. It's worth mentioning that Party Favorz relied heavily on Digital Visions edits for this set, as DJ Freddy, the mastermind behind Digital Visions, was instrumental in the creation of the Ultimate Trash Disco series and has contributed many never-before-released edits for Donna Summer's music in this release. DJ Freddy is currently battling cancer and, as healthcare costs in the United States can be exorbitant, Party Favorz encourages fans to contribute to his GoFundMe page to help offset the costs of his treatment and show support for this esteemed DJ and music enthusiast. Donna Summer's indelible mark on the music industry as the Queen of Disco is undeniable, and this tribute to her iconic music is a testament to her enduring legacy. Her songs continue to captivate audiences around the world, and her influence on the music landscape will never fade. Donate and keep the party going!

Purple Disco Machine: The Unpredictable Maestro of Funky House Music
Emerging on the dance music scene over a decade ago, Germany's Tino Piontek—better known as Purple Disco Machine—has carved a unique niche for himself in the realm of electronic dance music. 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. While some may argue that he lacks a 'signature style,' this eclectic range is precisely what makes PDM so captivating. Each production he touches—be it NuDisco, Deep House, Classic House, or Indie Dance—emerges reinvigorated, making his music not only hard to categorize but utterly engaging to listen to. This feature is not intended as a career epitaph but rather a tribute to an artist who is clearly on an upward trajectory. Madonna, if you're scanning the musical landscape for your next collaborator, you might want to consider this gem of a producer. As for the rest of us, we can't wait to see where his explorative sonic spirit takes him next. Cheers to Purple Disco Machine—here's to a future filled with more foot-stomping, booty-shaking, crowd-pleasing magic! Until the next time...ENJOY! Donate and keep the party going!

Each volume so far has been a lesson in Moran's unmatched versatility and influence, and this grand finale is no exception.

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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-9OE0ZYTkw 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.

Tony Moran’s Unfading Brilliance in Volume 2 of Our Legacy Tribute
As Tony Moran marched into the 21st century, his artistic brilliance only intensified, shining even more luminously than before. Moran has skillfully remixed a bevy of the era's most resplendent tunes, crafting a discography that reads like an exclusive guest list to our own Diva Hall of Fame. The need to enumerate these names is superfluous—they're all here, captured in the undulating grooves of his masterful remixes. Rather than segmenting Moran's prolific output over the past two decades, this volume opts for a rich blend, offering fans a seamless tapestry that spans 22 illustrious years. His career, far from waning, shows every sign of thriving, still pulsating with new energy. Let's talk about some songs that have been immortalized by Moran's magic touch. Take Oceana's "Body Rock" for example—a track that already has its merits but has been elevated to a whole new level under his skilled hands. Moran’s mix introduces an electrifying charge that makes the dance floor virtually irresistible. Or consider his reimagining of Deborah Cox's "Easy as Life," where Moran unravels the very fabric of the song and reweaves it with threads of auditory gold. The result? An anthem that beckons, ignites, and resonates in the soul. Rihanna's "Unfaithful" carries the emotional weight of its lyrics, but Moran adds an entirely new layer of complexity, giving the tune a unique twist that fits perfectly in any club environment. Then there's "Heaven's What I Feel" by Gloria Estefan, where Moran not only preserves the song's initial zest but also enhances it, infusing an extra dose of euphoria into its melody. And who could ignore his collaborative opus, "Magic," featuring the formidable Jennifer Holliday? This track is more than just a song; it's an experience, a wave of sounds that wash over you, leaving you drenched in its spellbinding allure. Songs by Diva Hall of Famers like Mariah Carey’s “Don’t Forget About Us,” Donna Summer’s “You’re So Beautiful,” and Cher's “Take It Like A Man” have also been graced by Moran’s inimitable style, further solidifying his place as a living legend in the world of dance music. What has become abundantly clear is that Tony Moran is not merely a producer or a remixer. He is an alchemist, skillfully transforming already exquisite tracks into new forms of sonic gold. His career, a shining beacon in the dance music universe, promises even more astounding works to come.

Tony Moran Legacy Series Volume 1: Honoring a Dance Music Legend
Revered DJ, producer, and remixer Tony Moran has been a formidable force in the dance music universe for over 30 years. With an illustrious career that boasts two Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart-toppers in 2007 alone—"Walk Away" featuring Kristine W and "Keep Your Body Working" featuring Martha Wash—Moran is no stranger to the pinnacle of success. To date, he's scored a staggering seven U.S. Billboard Dance Club Songs number-one hits, punctuated by four chart dominators in the years 2016 and 2017. Don't mistake him as just another remix producer; Moran is the man behind iconic reimaginings of tunes from music royalty like Janet Jackson, Madonna, George Michael, and Mariah Carey, just to name a few. In the '90s, when luminaries like David Morales, Junior Vasquez, or Hex Hector were otherwise engaged, Moran was the go-to genius. His reputation ascended even further as the millennium progressed, filling the void left by Morales, Vasquez, and the reclusive Hector. Collaborations with Jody Den Broeder and Warren Rigg yielded anthems that have defined a generation. And let's get this straight—his '90s oeuvre was no mere stepping stone. His craftsmanship then was as impeccable as it is now, capturing the essence of the dancefloor while adding his own unique flair. His groundbreaking remix of Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On," replete with pounding tribal beats and electrifying synths, became an instant queer anthem, arguably even outdoing Hex Hector himself. Beyond remixes, Moran has also dropped albums featuring diva collaborations that were seismic events in their own right. The resultant club anthems were pure fire, drenching dance floors globally in euphoria and sweat. Moran's name drew colossal crowds worldwide, cementing him as one of the first 'Superstar DJs' alongside legends like Tiesto. Still riding high, Tony Moran continues to churn out chart-busting hits for artists like Jason Walker and Martha Wash. With his roots tracing back to the art of mixtape edits—much like what we at Party Favorz started with—it's a tremendous honor to welcome the multi-talented Tony Moran into our esteemed Legacy series.

Ralphi Rosario: The Final Act in a Trilogy of House Music Master
At long last, we've arrived at the grand finale of our tribute to the house music maestro, Ralphi Rosario. Volume 3 of this Legacy series is a kaleidoscopic journey through his remarkable catalog, blending the commercial with the underground in a way that only Rosario can. When you think of Ralphi Rosario, it's hard not to jump straight to chart-toppers like Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande's "Rain On Me" or the Black Eyed Peas' "RITMO"—both remixed by Rosario and rapturously received over the past year. But, Rosario's influence stretches far beyond these blockbuster hits. Take, for example, his remix of Cher's "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)," a splashy and effervescent tune that turns every dance floor into a vibrant spectacle. It's a refreshing testament to Rosario's genius: knowing just what a track needs to transform from good to iconic. Rosario's scope isn't just confined to the latest hits. Remember Barry Manilow's "Copacabana 2005"? Rosario's reimagining breathed new life into this classic, taking us on a sonic vacation to that mythical club where "music and passion were always in fashion." The collaboration between Rosabel and Jennifer Holliday on "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" is nothing short of iconic in the gay community and beyond. This power-packed anthem, originally from the Broadway musical 'Dreamgirls,' was given a transformative Rosabel remix that thrust it straight back into the spotlight. With Holliday's impassioned vocals layered over Rosabel's rhythmic, high-energy beats, the song becomes more than a show-stopping number; it becomes an emblem of resilience and self-empowerment making one of the all-time favorite gay anthems. This Rosabel remix is not just another track on a playlist; it's an auditory experience that uplifts, unites, and gives voice to the struggles and triumphs of the LGBTQ+ community. The song pulses through dancefloors and Pride parades alike, serving as an enduring testament to Rosabel's and Jennifer Holliday's indelible marks on both music and culture. Stevie Nicks' "Stand Back," another gem given the Rosario treatment, illuminates the diversity of his repertoire, showing he can adapt his style to bring out the best in rock-flavored dance tunes. Then, he'll pivot effortlessly to soulful classics like Donna Summer's "Hot Stuff," adding a contemporary spark without tarnishing the original's fiery essence. The intoxicating "F$ck Your Boyfriend (F.U.B.F.)" co-crafted with Frankie Catalano is another cornerstone that showcases Rosario's risk-taking and rebellious spirit. This audacious track has been a guilty pleasure for many and adds to the Rosario enigma. We'd be amiss not to acknowledge his contributions to more recent pop phenomena. With songs like Erika Jayne's "One Hot Pleasure" or the Pussycat Dolls' anthems "When I Grow Up" and "Don't Cha," Rosario makes sure the dance floor stays packed and the energy never wanes. So, whether it's Cyndi Lauper's "Same Ol' Fucking Story" or Beyoncé's "Irreplaceable," Rosario’s touch is like Midas — everything he remixes turns to dance floor gold. In the end, Rosario's impact on LGBTQ+ nightlife and music scenes globally cannot be overstated. His name is synonymous with legendary, and his work—from 1987 to today—has served as the soundtrack for generations. Not acknowledging this would be an unforgivable oversight in the annals of dance music. And there you have it—the grand finale to our monumental tribute to one of house music's most celebrated artists. Until the next time...ENJOY! Donate and keep the party going!

Meanwhile, Ralphi's work on Kristine W's "Fly Again" and Jennifer Lopez’s "On The Floor" serve as testaments to his adeptness at bridging the gap between commercial pop and club culture.
