![]() I'll be back tomorrow with the 4th and final installment of the Ultimate Eurodance Collection. Whatever it takes to help me keep Party Favorz going for at least another year. If all you can afford is $5 - I'll happily accept it. I realize that not everyone is a walking ATM and appreciate the support I receive from subscriptions but there's just not enough money there for me to cover my annual hosting costs. There's a box at the end that allows you to enter ANY AMOUNT of your choosing that you can afford. The recommended amounts when you land on the donation page are just that. Folks, you don't need to donate a massive amount of money to help Party Favorz reach our goal of $500. I want to give a MASSIVE shout-out to Anthony S., Glenn A., and Raul G. ![]() There are a lot of happy memories to unpack in volume 3 and there shouldn't be anything that you aren't already intimately familiar with. Speaking of which, no set would be complete without the epic Bonnie Tyler classic "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Nicki French who transformed the powerful ballad into a massive floor-filler combining elements of Hi-NRG and Eurodance.Įqually, Livin' Joy's "Dreamer" and "Don't Stop Movin'" (the latter featured here) effectively combined house music and Eurodance for crossover appeal from the dancefloor to radio. ![]() I've also included the early Abigail classic remakes of "Losing My Religion" and "Constant Craving," which were on a small label imprint but had a massive impact by bridging commercial Trance and Eurodance with familiar songs originally sung by other artists (REM and K.D. Rozalla's "Everybody's Free (To Feel Good) and Billy Ray Martin's "Your Loving Arms" is a natural fit here even if the latter was naturally house. Duke's "So In Love" is a massive house music staple with overtones of Eurodance but is nevertheless a personal favorite, thus its inclusion. N-Trance's massive "Set You Free" was an introduction to Drum & Bass with a bit of Freestyle and Trance thrown in making this song stand out. Some of these songs border on trance with Fragma's "Toca's Miracle" leading the way from the early millennium. We had a bitter split and when I'd hear that song, it felt like I was a sympathetic character in some John Hughes 80's flick. I was head over heels in love with this guy named Pete at the time. I stuck with "We Like To Party," which went on to be the theme song for Six Flags and "Boom Boom Boom" and left out the annoying "Up and Down." They had several earlier hits but those three are what crossed over in the North America.Īnother track that follows the same formula is "Better Off Alone," which spoke to me. It's this formula that propelled them to the top of the dance charts and many pop charts across the globe. They utilized the same Ibiza beat that was hot at the time, and maintained few innocuous lyrics, but were catchy as hell. The same could be said for anything Vengaboys because all of their tracks were virtually identical. ![]() I've always detested this song, yet here we are. It's only in this particular series that a song like "Barbie Girl" by Aqua could be even remotely considered a classic. Party Favorz is back with volume 3 of the Ultimate Eurodance Collection, which features the biggest Eurodance tracks of the late 80s through the 90s. ![]()
