Notes

There are (at least) three different configurations of this album.

1. Vengaboys - Up & Down - The Party Album! (KRAK 4045). This is the original Dutch "before the fame" album release from March 1998, shortly after the release of the "Up And Down" single in the Netherlands. This edition includes the tracks "Funky Speed", "Cookies", "I Like The Music Pumpin'", "Get Down", "I Love What You're Doing To Me" and "Better World" which are not contained on the international release.
"We Like To Party" as featured here is different from the hit version.

2a. Vengaboys - Greatest Hits! Part 1 (KRAK 4033). This is released as "The Party Album" in many countries. This edition contains the tracks "Ho Ho Vengaboys!", "Movin' Around", "Overwhelm Yourself", "The Vengabeat", "Paradise", "Superfly Slick Dick" and "To The Rhythm" which are not contained on the first release.
"We Like To Party" is the hit version here, but "We're Going To Ibiza" only runs 3:07, has a downtempo arrangement and is different from the hit version.

2b. As above, but "We're Going To Ibiza" is the hit version, running 3:38 and using an Ace of Base-style reggae-pop arrangement.

Some countries also have slight variations in the tracklisting.

This album means a lot to me. As a child, somewhere in the beginning of the 00s/late 90s, I got hold of a copy (I don't know which one it was Greatest Hits or The Party Album). This album introduced me to the world of trance, "techno" and a little bit of Garage.

The first 7 tracks are cheesy and fun, good memories. But the tracks after the 7th track are out of this world. It is so different than those first tracks. Later on (and today) I still play these tracks. My favorite must be "Overwhelm Yourself" which has that Trance-vibe. When I DJ a Trance-set and it comes up. I play it.

"Moving Around" is another classic track for me. It has that trance-vibe and a nice uptempo beat. It was produced by Pronti & Kalmani who would entertain me later on with projects such as Alice Deejay and Candee Jay.

If you haven't heard this one and you're a sucker for 90s eurodance/trance. Please try it. Even for the newcomers; try it and be amazed.

I need to give my opinion. I need it! Vengaboys are SMART. They saw their meme potential, they encouraged it, they retweeted any bedroom dance that was done with We Like To Party or Boom Boom Boom Boom, they created new videos and they created the most hype I have seen during the lockdowns for their comeback. Now this work which is 100% eurodance is becoming sought after and missed.

Though it is eurodance, pure and simple.

Having said that, apart from the tunes, because it has them. check "Paradise" which can fit on so many sets for so many dekmantelish djs. It probably can be played in Panorama bar and you would not be kicked off the cabin as you would playing a hip hop vinyl

EDIT: credit where it's due: most of the tunes are from the hands of Danski & DJ Delmundo, at top of their euro powers at the time. Even when later hits like Rocket to Uranus are still good, there is better craft in here.
