We're super excited to share these amazing sets with you, as they are a massive update to the original Gay Pride Classics sets that were initially released in 2014. We called them "It Get's Better," "Love Sensation," "True Colors," "Together Again," and "We Are Family." With this new series, we're primarily focusing on gay anthems released from the 90s through the first half of the millennium. We believe this era is the golden age of club music, with an abundance of incredible tracks that made it challenging to choose just one for inclusion. However, we also recognize the importance of newer anthems that have become staples in the Gay Pride arsenal. So fear not, we have a special release called "Ultimate Gay Anthems For A New Generation" coming later this month, which will feature the majority of those newer tracks. Since the original release, there has been a flood of remixes for instantly recognizable classics. Some of the original versions didn't quite fit with the overall flow of this release, so we opted for the updated versions. It's important to note that this series is not the same as the original releases. Our main contributors, Barry Harris and Dirty Disco have done an exceptional job preserving and modernizing many of our favorite gay anthems. Speaking of contributors, you'll find an impressive lineup of legends on this set. The likes of Hex Hector, Junior Vasquez, Ralphi Rosario, Freemasons, Victor Calderone, Wayne G, Almighty, and 7th Heaven have all lent their incredible talents to these tracks. Over the years, we've received numerous requests for a "best of the Diva Hall of Fame" series. While we currently have no plans to create such a series (as it would be somewhat redundant), we encourage you to consider these final Gay Anthem releases as exactly that. The tracklist alone reads like a who's who of our favorite divas who've been inducted into the Diva Hall of Fame, including those one or two-hit wonders who never received the recognition they deserved. You'll also notice something special in this initial tracklist – a fantastic remix of "Constant Craving" by one of our personal favorites, K.D. Lang. When we originally inducted her into the Diva Hall of Fame, the remix we included was not up to par. We apologize for that. However, the fabulous and legendary Tracy Young came to the rescue. She created an incredible remix of "Constant Craving" in late 2021, after the release of our Diva Series. We may update that series later this year to include Trac...
