House: Barbra Streisand Diva Series (2017) Apr 15, 2017

Show notes

House-focused and part of the Diva Hall of Fame series, this 2017 tribute reframes Barbra Streisand’s catalog through club-ready edits and remixes aimed at longtime, mature listeners. Party Favorz assembled a compact set that leans into unexpected dancefloor moments rather than Streisand’s chart singles, presenting a respectful, slightly nostalgic take on her work. Highlights include Claes Rosen’s unofficial VIP of “Woman In Love,” Offer Nissim’s take on “Avinu Malkenu,” and two versions of “Night of My Life” — the LEX Club Mix and the Love To Infinity Master Mix. Craig C’s Master Blaster revamp of “Enough Is Enough” (with Donna Summer) and Jerry’s Divalicious remix of “Tell Him” (with Celine Dion) nod to bootleg and rework culture while keeping the focus on tasteful, club-ready arrangements. This hour-plus set is a curated listen for fans who want Streisand’s voice in a dance context without trading away her signature gravitas.

Peak Hour: Oh My Gravy! (OMG): 2017 WMC Afterparty Mix Mar 31, 2017

Show notes

This Peak Hour mix is the 2017 WMC Afterparty set Oh My Gravy! (OMG), built to pivot between tech‑house/techno moods and full‑tilt peak‑time mayhem. Over 72 minutes the set moves through techno, disco, progressive and electro textures to surprise a festival crowd at dawn while keeping the dancefloor engaged. Highlights include the industrial‑disco push of Mark Knight & Green Velvet’s “Live Stream,” Gnarly Davidson’s Funkytown‑tinted club twist, and the unexpected acoustic drop in Will Sparks x Orkestrated’s “Crank It Loud.” StoneBridge and Lizzie Curious remake Olive’s “You’re Not Alone” into a modern club anthem, Hi‑LO (Oliver Heldens) steers things back toward progressive house with “The Answer,” and Throttle closes with a cheeky Jack House take on “Hit The Road Jack.” The set deliberately hops styles to keep listeners on their toes while delivering plenty of peak‑hour moments.

Club Fusion: Spring Break 2017 Beach & Pool EDM Mix Mar 30, 2017

Show notes

Club Fusion Spring Break 2017 delivers a beach-ready set of EDM, electro, future house and dubstep built as a sunny warm-up or pool-party mix. This 2017 edition leans into slower, tropical-tinged beats that were shaping mainstream dance at the time while still offering peak-energy moments to keep a party moving. Highlights include a John-Blake extended take on Rihanna, Alesso’s club mix of “Falling,” and a Dillistone remix of Dua Lipa, alongside sunlit edits like Ray Rhodes’ version of Kygo & Selena Gomez and breezy cuts from Sam Feldt & Hook N Sling. The Chainsmokers & Coldplay later receive an Ibiza-style Kay Stafford treatment, and the set mixes familiar vocal originals with club-forward remixes to maintain a relaxed, festival-to-pool flow. Think of this as the pregame to deeper evening editions: melodic, summery and designed for late-afternoon vibes rather than nonstop four-on-the-floor. It’s a curated snapshot of 2017’s tropical-leaning dance sounds with enough surprises to keep a spring break crowd engaged.

80s Dance Alternative Megamix: Pure Energy (2017) Feb 05, 2017

Show notes

This episode is an 80s Dance Music Classics megamix from 2017 titled Pure Energy, a BackSpin collection that leans into synth-pop and industrial-tinged club cuts. The set deliberately revisits the decade’s darker electronic edges while still serving up dancefloor-friendly mixes and extended versions for listeners who remember—or are discovering—these tracks. Highlights include Razormaid-style and extended 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 sequence. The host reflects on how industrial’s punk-rooted anger worked as poetic repetition and suggests a possible shift toward deeper, more politically pointed selections in future mixes. Runtime is 1:23:23 and the mix balances singalong synth-pop moments with tougher club textures for a slightly darker take on 80s alternative dance.

80s Dance Megamix: Pump Up the Volume (BackSpin 2017) Feb 04, 2017

Show notes

This 2017 BackSpin installment is an 80s Dance Music Classics megamix that traces the era’s darker electronic and industrial-leaning club sounds. It’s presented as a continuous 1:27:42 set intended to showcase how industrial textures crossed into pop and the dancefloor, with extended mixes and classic remix labels anchoring the flow. Highlights include club-ready versions of Yello’s “Oh Yeah,” New Order’s “Blue Monday ’88,” and Depeche Mode edits, plus M.A.R.R.S.’s iconic “Pump Up The Volume,” Pet Shop Boys’ Ultimix of “West End Girls,” and Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s “Relax.” The sequence leans into 12-inch culture and remix-era staples — Razormaid, Ultimix, and Hot Tracks reshape familiar tracks into a single listening experience. There’s also a bit of scene color about early computer culture and the atmosphere that helped shape these sounds, but the focus remains on the grooves, edits, and industrial-pop crossover that kept clubs moving.
