Just in the nick of time, Party Favorz pulls out all the stops to deliver our annual Blow Your Own Horn series, the ultimate New Year's dance party mix to usher you into 2024.

This series began in late 2013 when I found myself with some extra time and the desire to create one last epic party throwdown to welcome the new year. Since then, BYOH has become a staple in our collection, a series that our fans rely on us to deliver year after year.

Honestly, I've been going non-stop since late October, creating one set after another to keep everyone entertained and, perhaps, a bit distracted from everyday life. I wasn't sure I had another mix in me, but I sat down yesterday and, to my surprise, produced this final set in record time. It's accompanied by a quickly assembled cover art that, while not my finest work, certainly serves its purpose. This set is as raw as they come, which, in my opinion, is part of its charm. It’s a high-octane ride with few breaks, boasting a garage feel that epitomizes this style of mix – imperfections and all. I haven’t previewed it myself, so you’re getting the first listen.

Most tracks in this set are alternate versions of popular songs from the year, many of which haven't appeared in any of our other sets. There are also some familiar originals that seamlessly fit the fast pace, along with a few notable late-year releases. Highlights include "I'm So Excited" by Sound Of Legend, a fresh take on the early '80s Pointer Sisters hit, "Hey DJ" by Joel Corry, reminiscent of early millennium tracks like Ian Van Dahl's "Castles In the Sky", a new version of Eddie Murphy's late '80s hit "Party All the Time," redone by Hannah Laing & HVRR, and "Make Me Happy" by Patrick Topping, a welcome return from an artist we haven't heard from in a while.

I won’t be making any tweaks to this final set, so feel free to dive in and download it.

I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported Party Favorz, especially after our slow start this year. I won't stoop to the level of a certain individual who disrupted our operations out of jealousy and unprofessionalism by naming names but there's a special place in hell for this asshole. Your support has been invaluable, particularly as our operating costs have tripled. You mean everything to us and we couldn't have done it without your continued support.

Here’s wishing everyone a happy and healthy New Year. Stay positive, and 2024 will be your year. I’ll be taking off most of January not to rest, but to revamp our website with something fresh and exciting. Our current theme is showing its age whose team seemingly took over its development without much support,
