Day 5: Bathtub Party Day (apparently it's a real thing haha) - Post a party album!

Colemine Records - Soul Slabs Vol. 2

If you're having a party, all you need to do is throw this one on and you're good to go! The jams here are endless, plus it's an hour and half long so you won't have to pick something new for awhile and can enjoy spending time with your guests haha

 
Day 4: Concept Album
Play a concept album

Esmerine - Mechanics of Dominion

Another great Canadian post-rock-adjacent group with members of Godspeed, Thee Silver Mt Zion, and the Unicorns, this album reminds me of how instrumental music can work great for a concept album as well. It's "a requiem for our intractably suffering planet and a paean to the inscrutable, essential dignity of indigenous ethics and the natural world, and to modern human frailty and ingenuity."

A good party record needs to be fun, high energy music. You also don’t want it to be overly self indulgent, you want to get a good portion of your party attendees to dig it also you there can’t be any filler tracks less you will be getting up to put on a new album as the energy starts to wane. Familiarity is important but you don’t want the partygoers to be overly familiar as the jams will lose their luster.

Zapp is great party music. Most are familiar with the heavily sampled LP in many Hip Hop classics but probably not overly familiar in these fire tracks in their original form and the entire album is funky AF.
