Spring Edition 2021 | Feel the BURN with the Hottest Circuit Anthems for Spring! - a podcast by Keith a.k.a. K j A M

Party Favorz is back with our annual Spring Edition featuring the hottest circuit anthems for what is shaping up to be one HOT summer!



While this set had been in the can for just over a week — I was battling issues from all directions playing whack a mole with every new issue that kept popping up. This kept me busy spending most of my days on the phone trying to straighten out other people's bullshit.



I had decided to drop one song from the set and replace another with a different version and needed to temper another track that was pitched too high. This appears to be something that several DJs have been doing lately. That is, reducing the bass and pushing the mid and highs up while overcompressing the song. Since I test all my mixes out on Bluetooth headphones, home speaker system and in my car — this new mastering by certain DJs is shrill and hurts the living shit out of my ears.



I don't know the purpose of this new technique but it's driving my batshit crazy. As I find them, I go back and temper the highs and add a gentle boost to the bass so it doesn't sound like it's being squeezed out of a tin can.



This is where I ran into some problems on one such song.  The Jace M & Toy Armada remix of "We Are," which is an outstanding track by Dan Slater & Zoe? Badwi. For some strange reason, the song wouldn't load in my editor. I've never had this problem before and kept getting the error message "the path to file is not specified" by Windows.



I looked it up and went through all of the troubleshooting steps for this error (which is apparently common but new to me). I was getting help on the WindowsTen forum but nothing was working. Finally, I bit the bullet and performed a clean install of the operating system and the problem persisted. It was only then that I decided to load a different song only to find it worked. So, the issue was specific to this one song but why?



After looking at the title — I changed the 'e?' in Zoe's name to just 'e' and presto! That was the issue. The editor couldn't read the special character, which makes no sense. Why? Because it would load 'Tiësto' that uses the same diaeresis but one loads and the other does not. I'm thinking that Tiësto may use a special character for input where Zoe? is input using the language instructions from the keyboard, where my keyboard layout is in English. Maybe...I can't say for certain.



Regardless, I wasted two entire days just on this issue alone. The fact that I'm expending so much energy telling y'all about it should allude to how pissed I was over this one problem. I couldn't just drop the song because it really is stellar. Not only that, it opened up the set. Grrr.



The good news is that I've really delivered a circuit and anthem set that will blow the roof off any party. There's enough tribalism here to fuel your workouts or just outright party.



So, without further ado, I bring you the Spring Edition 2021. ENJOY!
