Party Favorz is back with volume 2 of the Ultimate Trance Classics series and boy oh boy is this a HOT one! This set is packed form start to finish with some of the biggest Trance tracks from the 90's and early millennium. One notable exception is the uncredited trance remix of 'Thank You' by Dido. Anyone attuned to the radio or who was a club kid during the early 00's remembers the massive success of this woman who happens to be an inductee into our Diva Hall of Fame. She's also the sister of Faithless member Rollo who is prominently featured in this tribute series. She had already been riding high off of 'Here With Me' and after Eminem sampled 'Thank You' on his massive single 'Stan,' she exploded on MTV and radio taking the song to #1. The trance version was taken from an unofficial Russian EP that had official remixes from her album 'No Angel' but never had an official release. It's not clear if this is an original remix or a mashup but it's so good that it's worthy of inclusion because it's timely and fits right in with everything else. Keep in mind that Johnny Vicious had created a full-blown trance remix of 'Here With Me' that was already huge in the clubs so including this song just made sense. Otherwise, this set has got so many massive trance tracks included — it reads like a who's who of the DJs and artists who fueled the genre. I have to admit that I really dreaded re-doing this series and expanding on it because these songs are not the easiest in the world to mix. Most have no intro nor outro and clock in at a neck-snapping average of 138 bpm. Needless to say, I've been pleasantly surprised at how well this is all falling together — certainly better than my first effort in 2010. Frankly, I've exceeded my own expectations. Volume 3 and 4 will be dropping next week, which will finish out this series before we jump into Spring Break madness. Until then...ENJOY! As many of you may not know, Party Favorz hosting is up for renewal in a few days and it would be helpful if you could help pitch in to cover the costs. This is a once a year ask for donations but is not mandatory. I want to give a shout out to Paul S. ($25) and Casper Y. ($50 ) for their generous donations. We're about $100 shy of reaching our goal. If you would like to donate you may do so below. Every little bit helps. https://partyfavorz.com/donate/ Album: Ultimate Trance Classics | Volume 2Genre: Trance, Progressive HouseYear: 2022Total Time: 04:08:24 1.

Trance is a genre of electronic dance music that emerged from the British new-age music scene and the early 1990s German techno and hardcore scenes. Trance music is characterized by a tempo generally lying between 120–150 bpm (BPM),repeating melodic phrases and a musical form that distinctly builds tension and elements throughout a track often culminating in 1 to 2 "peaks" or "drops". Although trance is a genre of its own, it liberally incorporates influences from other musical styles such as techno, house, pop, chill-out, classical music, tech house, ambient and progressive house. Now that we got that out of the way, Party Favorz is finally dropping the Ultimate Trance Classics that we've been teasing out over a year now. We covered 90's House Classics, 90's Eurodance and now a long overdue and updated Trance Classics. Because the genre grew out of the techno scene in the early 90's and was fueled by pop-up raves in the UK, which quickly spread to the U.S — it gets a classcification all it's own. Like most popular dance music genres, Trance eventually became mainstreamed by corporate music because why waste a good thing that can be aped, recyceled, polished and pushed to the masses in a more palatable form. Other than the genres listed in the Wikipedia description that were incorporated into Trance — the ground-breaking Progressive House scene was the most infulential to Trance, which brought us Faithless, Pefecto and yes, even Club 69 who after riding the house train for years, abruptly transitioned into some hard-hitting tribal, electronic sounds the likes of which no one had heard before. It wasn't uncommon for DJs to incorporate some of these influences into their sets to offset some of the monotony of straight up euphoric Trance. The first set showcases that intermixing, while the second set is straight up Trance. The third and fourth sets should lean more Trance with some progressive tracks that fit nicely but didn't quite fit into the 90's House Classics series that was recently completed. One other thing about this series is the 90's and 00's were mixed in together reflecting Trance at its peak. Unlike the original series that was released in 2010, these newer sets not only deliver the big hits that everyone knows but the ground-breaking tracks that fueled the genre from the ground up. There's a lot of territory to cover so the biggest artists were limited to 2 - 3 songs from their back catalog. All the big names are presented in this four set series including Tiesto, Ferry Corsten, Matt Darey, Above & Beyond, Chicane, Armin Van Buuren, Sasha, Blank & Jones and more. While no stone was left unturned in putting this series together — we don't want to hear what's missing or what shouldn't have been included. This is a massive undertaking where just compiling and then culling the track list takes longer than actually mixing them. So if you can do better, go for it. Volume 2 is already in the bag so you can expect it to drop on Sunday. Until then...ENJOY! As many of you may not know, Party Favorz hosting is up for renewal in a few days and it would be helpful if you could help pitch in to cover the costs.
