The Essential 80's Dance Mix series reaches its culmination with Volume 6, packing an impressive compilation of unmissable 80s dance music tracks. This meticulously crafted collection includes tunes that got missed in the previous five volumes due to various reasons.







From curating tracks for Trash Disco and the 90s House Classics, to the Millennial House Classics series, it's always a challenging yet rewarding task. Ensuring a seamless flow of tracks requires dedicated preparation, sometimes extending over a month. Despite the demanding release schedule of Party Favorz, we are committed to delivering the best dance music experience to our audience.







The Essential 80's Dance Mix series has been a challenging project amongst the many genre compilations created over various decades. Although we are momentarily pausing the release of more 80s collections, we look forward to revisiting works from New Order, Depeche Mode, and Stock, Aitken, and Waterman (SAW) Legacy editions in the future.







For now,

Party Favorz is thrilled to announce the release of Volume 5 of The Essential 80's Dance Mix, a collection that has been long-awaited by 80s dance music aficionados. The focus of this set is the Hi-Energy (NRG) sub-genre, a forebear to the 90s Hard Dance and early millennium scenes. This compilation, while predominantly NRG, also features standout tracks from other genres, like the unforgettable beat of Rick James' "Super Freak."







While this is not an all-encompassing series of 80s dance music, it provides a substantial dive into a decade known for its diverse sub-genres. So, whether you were a club-goer during the 80s or are discovering these tracks for the first time, this mix is sure to captivate.







Standout tracks from this set include The Communards' "Never Can Say Goodbye," Lisa's "Rocket To Your Heart," and Eveylyn Thomas' "High Energy." You'll also enjoy dance floor favorites like Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me 'round (Like A Record) " and Sylvester's "Do Ya Wanna Funk."







Join us next week for more surprises, possibly the final volume in this series or the next Legacy edition. Until then, immerse yourself in the rhythmic nostalgia of the Essential 80's Dance ...

Party Favorz is back with the captivating Essential 80's Dance Mix Volume 3, an incredible journey through the decade that gave us unforgettable classics in Funk, R&B Dance, and Rap's early days. This set, often referred to as the Urban mix, masterfully blends a selection of popular 80s dance music with one alternative dance mix and a handful of chart-topping pop tracks.







Developing this mix involved two weeks of careful track selection and editing to achieve the perfect blend and feel. A standout feature is the innovative mashup of Grandmaster Flash's anti-drug song "White Lines" and Herbie Hancock's "Rock It"— a fusion that beautifully showcases the evolution of 80s dance music.







This volume includes the irresistible rhythm of Janet Jackson's "Nasty," and the unforgettable beat of Rob Base & DJ EZ-Rock's "It Takes Two." There's the innovative fusion of rock and rap in Run-DMC's "Walk This Way," and the pioneering electro-funk sound of Herbie Hancock's "Rock It." The unforgettable melody of Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam's "I Wonder If I Take You Home" and the ultimate party ...

Party Favorz presents The Essential 80s Dance Mix Volume 2, a harmonious blend of commercial, alternative, and pop-hit dance tracks, illustrating the rhythmic diversity of the 80s dance music era. A significant part of the 80s was the rise of Hi NRG, epitomized by Patrick Cowley's remix of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" and his later contributions to the genre, such as "Menergy" and "Megatron Man".







This volume also nods towards the gay community and the movement they helped define, which was deeply intertwined with the Hi NRG genre, as their music provided the soundtrack to a time marked by the emergence of AIDS.







Featuring an eclectic lineup, it juxtaposes tracks like Michael Jackson's "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" with When In Rome's "The Promise" creating an authentic 80s vibe. You'll find Madonna's "Into The Groove", Whitney Houston's "Love Will Save The Day", and Shannon's "Let The Music Play" among the mix, illustrating the varied landscape of 80s dance music.







Several tracks in this mix have been meticulously remastered from their original vinyl versions,...

Dive into the vibrant tapestry of the 80s dance music era with Party Favorz's first of six volumes of The Essential 80s Dance Mix. This collection celebrates the decade's dynamic shifts in dance music, amalgamating the standout tracks from our previous sets including Pure Energy, Pump Up the Volume, Hit That Perfect Beat!, and the Back 2 the 80s series.







The 80s music scene began on the foundation laid by disco. As the decade progressed, a transition towards synth-driven beats began to define the era's sound. This evolution is encapsulated in Duran Duran's "All She Wants Is", a song that perfectly captures the synthesizer-led trend of the mid-80s.







The underground scenes of Chicago and New York gave birth to a fresh genre midway through the 80s - house music. This style's mainstream breakthrough arrived by 1989 with Soul II Soul's club and pop radio hit, "Back To Life". Anthony & The Camp's "What I Like" exemplifies this rising house sound with its Extended Dance Mix, blending pulsating rhythms and layered vocals.







Grace Jones' "I'm Not Perfect",
