ReStructure Mix Update (10/17/25): ”Turn The Beat Around” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – The Twins Plus Him

The Twins Plus Him is a 1983 cover of Vicki Sue Robinson’s 1976 disco classic - this time around it is produced by Richard Alexander and features a full electronic production with a street beat influence. The chorus is a vibrato of the old school disco ensemble and makes this arrangement exciting. The fluid sweeping effects add to this production's energy and a drawn out chorus makes the song a bit more infectious and a great homage for the 80’s in the realm of the original.

I have taken the 12” vocal and dub versions of The Twins Plus Him’s cover of “Turn The Beat Around” and have added more of the rhythm tracks to play out a complete new outline for this ReStructure Mix. The breaks added are from the original track and a new fade out gives way for this remake.

ReStructure Mix Update (10/16/25): ”Take Your Pain Away” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Eurythmics

ReStructure Mix Update (10/16/25): ”Take Your Pain Away” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Eurythmics

Eurythmics created a mood for the 80’s which had a lasting effect on dance floors around the world. Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart are a duo who worked successfully together spinning moody songs of heartbreak, jealousy, fear and anger. Although none of the layered emotions were unfavorable to hear or dance to. Their execution of each track gave each one a unique and alternative approach. “Take Your Pain Away” is from their 1986 project titled “Revenge” and gives a loving edge to one who would like to free someone from all of the uncaring aspects of life and the relationship. Annie once again moves the song with her vocal talents and makes more of the attention her own. This one moves fast and jittery with a nice blend of rock touches throughout the song.

I have taken the album version of “Take Your Pain Away” and dissected the bass sequencers to display them in a new way throughout this ReStructure Mix. A play with some of the chorus vocals are used to break the song into new parts.

ReStructure Mix Update (10/15/25): ”Call Me” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Sylvester

ReStructure Mix Update (10/15/25): ”Call Me” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Sylvester

Sylvester is a disco artist who changed the face of music forever with his non-stop enthusiasm to be his “out” and outrageous self. Many of his songs are now classics and only held in high esteem in their execution and infectious energy created by the man himself. “Call Me” is from his 1983 project with the same title - produced by Dennis Wadlington, Dwayne Sweet, James "Tip" Wirrick and Marty Blecman. The track is a revisit to the early 80’s fast moving dance genre with a fusion of light rock. The main show here is Sylvester’s vocal performance which makes the dance floor take notice of his ominous power to entertain. Again, one of his past endeavors becomes that “classic” we have known this man for.

I have taken the 12” version of “Call Me” and added a new dimension to this new ReStructure Mix. More of the fierce sequencer pieces are stripped down for new energy and adding a few new breaks and surprises to “drop a dime” on this one.

ReStructure Mix Update (10/13/25): ”I’m Here And I’m Hot” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Vicki Sue Robinson

ReStructure Mix Update (10/13/25): ”I’m Here And I’m Hot” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Vicki Sue Robinson

Vicki Sue Robinson is best known for her big hit “Turn The Beat Around” from 1976 - produced by Warren Schatz. This was one of the turning points for dance music as it was lure to dance floors and the igniting of the nightlife in a new way. “I’m Here And I’m Hot” is her single from 1982 and is a venture into an independent movement to keep disco music alive during a new era of the 80’s. Productions became more of an electronic force and stripped groove. This track has the finesse which we always know that Vicki exuded. It plays out as her confidence in keeping the party moving as she enters the club and the energy again strikes. It is also another moment for her soulful edge to display itself in a form which awakens once again.

I have taken the 12” version of “I’m Here And I’m Hot” and worked the base and rhythm into a new ReStructure Mix. There are a few new twists and turns from the original arrangement and several breaks to calm this fire.
