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,

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.

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,

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.

We've arrived at the final chapter of our monumental journey through the awe-inspiring career of Tony Moran, with the fourth and final volume of the Ultimate Tony Moran Legacy series. 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,

Welcome back to the third volume of our Ultimate Tony Moran Legacy series, where we delve even further into the extraordinary oeuvre of Tony Moran. With each set, it becomes abundantly clear that Moran isn't just a one-hit-wonder; he's an industry titan whose flair for remixing and production has left an indelible mark on dance music.







Moran's breadth of work is impressive, to say the least. Whether contributing tracks for his own "Event" compilations or lending his Midas touch to other artists, he's accumulated an astonishing number of chart-topping songs—many reaching the zenith of the Dance Club charts, while others have conquered various other charts, including the illustrious Hot 100.







Tony Moran is more than just a studio genius; he's a stage phenomenon. Over the years, his live performances have gained almost mythical status, drawing packed houses worldwide. In many ways, he's paved the way for the next generation of DJ-producer-entertainers like Calvin Harris, David Guetta, Skrillex, and Avicii, who've transitioned their talents from the studio to colossal live shows.







Let's talk about some of the spectacular songs that are featured in this volume.
