This set has been updated since the original post. 'I Believe 2009 (Ralphi Rosario Vocal Club Mix)' by The Absolute feat. Suzanne Palmer was substituted for 'Body Rock' by Oceana and 'Dancing On My Own (Guy Scheiman Club Remix)' by Robyn was added to the final version. No sooner than I finished yesterday's post — I found an issue with the website, which lead me down a rabbit hole of multiple issues. Mind you, nothing that affects the user experience but triggers my anal instincts of perfection. By the time I finished and resolved to leave some issues for another day — my day was lost and I was too tired to finish volume 4 of the Ultimate Gay Anthems & PRIDE Classics that I promised I was going to do. Rick has been out of town so that allowed me to get up early this morning and get to work on cleaning up this mix, while replacing a couple of tracks with better versions. Then I started adding stuff I had forgotten about and this 4-hour set turned into nearly 5 hours. The end result is shear perfection and frankly a delight for GenX and early Millennials. I had decided to skip on mixing up a variety of styles for the final two volumes, which makes things a bit easier so volume 4 is big room circuit but nothing that's over the top. There's a lot of gay anthems and quality classic gay pride cuts here. As I had previously stated, this series is as close as you're going to get to a best of the Diva Hall of Fame people have asked me for. What's nice about this is that all those leading ladies that I never got around to inducting or for whatever reason didn't feel it was warranted — are included here. People like Jeanie Tracy, Kimberly Davis, Anastacia, Suzanne Palmer (who really deserves an entry), Paula Cole, Shania Twain, Heather Small (of M People), Judy Cheeks, Alison Limerick, Lara Fabian, Nelly Furtado, Debby Holiday, Amber, Goldfrapp, Sarah Atereth, Deborah Cooper, Beth Sacks, Pepper MaShay, Andra Day, Latanza Waters, CeCe Peniston, Sabrina Johnston, Shawn Christoper, Soraya Vivian (Degrees of Motion), Thelma Houston and so many more have touched our little gay hearts at one point or another in our drama-filled lives that it's a travesty that I can't acknowledge all of them. Consider this series their honorary induction and acknowledgement of what they've meant to so many of us. We say, thank you from the bottom of our little queer hearts. We've got one more set to go, which will be the remaining Hi NRG and house music tracks before jumping into the annual Gay Anthems For A New Generation so we can wrap up our 2022 Gay Pride offerings before festivities start kicking off.

For those of you following along, I trust you're just as enthralled by this tribute as I am. Hex Hector has been the alchemist behind so many unforgettable tracks that it's easy to lose count. But today, I want to zone in on some personal gems that have stood out in this remarkable set. First, let's talk about Reina's "Find Another Woman" and Lisa Stansfield's "I'm Leavin'." Both songs, under the masterful touch of Hex Hector, evolve into pulsating dance anthems that possess the power to revive even the dreariest of dance floors. Hex Hector has this innate ability to infuse an unparalleled level of energy into tracks, elevating them to such heights that they often outshine the originals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTHGA8Ewl1g But it's not just the well-known tracks that deserve attention. Hidden among these gems are surprise mixes that had slipped my memory but are just as enjoyable. Case in point: Sherrie Lea's "Anyway," Purple Kitty featuring Latanza Waters' "Bang On," and Joy Enriquez's "Shake Up the Party." While these tracks may not have been ingrained in our collective consciousness, they hit different when given the Hex Hector treatment. It's akin to discovering a hidden treasure chest; you may not have been actively searching for it, but once found, it brings immeasurable joy. What makes Hex Hector truly stand out as a remixer is his incredible versatility. His work transcends genre boundaries, effortlessly navigating between house, trance, and even pop, while always retaining a unique touch that can only be described as 'Hex Hector-esque.' His musical prowess is felt not just in the mega hits, but also in the lesser-known tracks that benefit from his transformative powers. So, if you're already captivated by this Hex Hector extravaganza, take heart—this isn't the end. There's still one more awe-inspiring sets to come, which promises to be as exhilarating as the ones we've already experienced. As we all know, Hex Hector is an artist who consistently delivers, and it's this consistency that makes each revelation from his repertoire a joyous occasion. Until the next time...ENJOY!

2001 was the year I personally bottomed-out in all aspects of my life. Even so, it's chock-full of memories good and bad with some outrageous stories that are better left to a book. I will say that with all the chaos surrounding my life at the time, there were some shining moments. In particular, it was the year I met Rick who was dating a friend. George (the friend) decided he didn't really like Rick. Personally, I never thought anything about him until after they broke up. Rick started calling me to go out and one thing just lead to another. As the saying goes, one man's trash is another's treasure; well Rick was my treasure and still is today. Most importantly, 2001 was an amazing year for club music. In fact, some of the big names that were competing for club floor attention were getting some hefty competition from the likes of John Creamer and Stephane K. Their remix of Iio's "Rapture" a year earlier set the stage for a multitude of number ones that would carry them through the year and beyond. Their style was very progressive which as of today has been pushed to the underground. In fact, there are several prog club hits this particular year, which is strange because you don't get that much hitting the charts these days. Speaking of the underground, Celeda had her first number one after Peter Rauhofer took her and the song by the same title all the way to the top. Additionally, Illicit (who I still am clueless about) made a strong showing the previous year with their re-work of the massive "Pasilda" and went on to have two additional number ones with Madison Avenue's "Who the Hell Are You" and Stevie Nicks' "Planets of the Universe". Granted, Tracy Young turned in quite an excellent mix for the latter, but let's face it; Stevie's voice doesn't really lend itself to the dancefloor but Illicit's magic proved the song had some legs by turning it into a floor stomper. Other notables included Kosheen's Hide U. I'm talking about bodies movin, not stop groovin, asses shakin, floors are breakin, queens are freakin, hoe's are creepin, divas flowin, everybody knows to Stand up throw your hands to the sky Stand up, wo wo, you got to stand up! Now folks, before everyone starts ragging on me, I just want to let you know that Suzanne's version also makes an appearance in a later mix; so don't start shooting off about who had the better version. While I am partial to Suzanne Palmer's take, I think both are equally outstanding. We also got a preview of Ms. Jeanie Tracy's "cha-cha heels" in the Rosabel anthem "The Power". It wouldn't be until three years later that Rosabel and Jeanie teamed up again to bring a full song dedicated to the cha-cha. Of course, what would 2001 be without Thunderpuss? Barry Harris and Chris Cox put out their one and only dance album featuring the number one "Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag" and outstanding anthem "Stand Up" featuring Latanza Waters. Funny thing is that I didn't even realize that Mobin Master remade that song last year. It was featured on my Electro-funk 2008 v6 and I gave it a five-star rating then. I guess it just shows you a good song is still a good song, no matter who does it. Finally, Thunderpuss also delivered the massive Janet Jackson cut "All For You". With all the prog stuff hitting the charts, it was always nice to lighten things up with some more commercial takes of a pop hit, and boy was this a BIG one! The other big one was Pink's "Get the Party Started". The strange thing about that song is that it never charted because LaFace Records never authorized any mixes. Frankly, I think that was a huge miscalculation on their part. I guess they were just acting pissy because she moved away from the R&B nature of her first album and into a more rock-oriented approach for her follow-up "Misunderstood". I'm certain their minds changed after it went on to become a massive hit and sell a ton of copies worldwide. Regardless,
