Partyschlager[1][2][3] (also called Party-Schlager[4][5] and Partymusik)[6][7] is a form of schlager that has been popular since the 1990s, using stylistic elements from Eurodance, EDM, and Hands Up. Within partyschlager, there are various categories based on themes and occasions, such as Ballermann,[7] après-ski,[8] carnival,[9] Oktoberfest, or Wiesn hits.[10]
The term party music had already been used for popular music earlier, for example by a label called Party-Musik founded by Electrola in 1966.[11] Tony Marshall is considered one of the first representatives of party mood music in the 1970s, and the group Die 3 Besoffskis was considered a forerunner of Ballermann music.[12] Their biggest hit, "Puff von Barcelona" (1975), was covered by Mickie Krause in 1999.
The style became known with pieces such as "König von Mallorca" (1999) by Jürgen Drews and "10 Nackte Friseusen" (1999) by Mickie Krause. Since the 1990s, schlager songs have also been released as party remixes, such as "Wahnsinn" (1983) by Wolfgang Petry and Die Lollies (1998), "Marmor, Stein und Eisen bricht" by Drafi Deutscher (1965), or "Ein Stern (...der deinen Namen trägt)" by Nik P. (1998) and DJ Ötzi (2007).[13][14] The song "Layla" by DJ Robin and Schürze became the official summer hit of 2022 and sparked a sexism debate.[15] The song also brought the style of pop music to attention outside of the party scene. In 2023, several partyschlager songs made it into the charts.[16]
