House Edition 2008 Volume 1

Welcome to the first ever Party Favorz: House Edition. Not quite deep enough for my Deep Editions and not quite Funky Enough for my Funky Editions, but definitely soulful and hip enough for a House Edition. There was just way too much good music to let go to waste. Let's face it, this is the music that got it all started back in the late eighties. Granted, house music is just an extension of disco from the seventies, but it developed into a cultural phenomenon sprouting other offshoots of the style. Electro, Deep, Jack, Trance, Tribal, and Progressive; you can thank the origin from which you sprang. Like no other, house music is and always will be the foundation for all great dance music. You may notice, this is an unusually long mix. Once I got started, I just couldn't stop. The whole thing flowed so well, I decided not to cut it in half. I'm guessing that most of you will just pop it into your iPod and won't care. Those that burn these mixes to CD, need not worry. Since most players these days support MP3 playback, just burn a "jukebox" disc (as Nero calls it) or MP3 disc as most others call it and you're in business. I would have had this mix-up on Friday, but my bandwidth was shot as I knew it would be once I uploaded the Spring Edition. So, I decided to wait until today (April Fools) to share it. My bandwidth has reset and you shouldn't have any problems downloading. I've checked into Go Daddy for my future hosting and podcasting, and it's looking like I'll be using them. Since I'm currently using two different sources for storage and streaming, it not only makes practical sense to consolidate but economic sense as well. Just to let everyone know, when I do that, the mixes might end up being encoded at 192kbps instead of the VBR Extreme I've been using. This is not for certain, it just depends on how much storage I purchase for the year. I already got my next Electro-Funk Edition ready to go, and you can expect that on Friday. I also started working on the next installment of the Progressive Edition for all our shirtless boys in the clubs and will then begin working on the long overdue Funky Edition. After that, I plan on taking a break until May. In the meantime, for all of you who enjoy my Deep and/or Funky editions, this one's for you! Enjoy! Update: Oh joy...my bandwidth came back a day early! Besides, posting on April Fools Day has its risks. Even Mariah bumped her album release (originally scheduled for the 1st) to the 15th. Can you blame her?
