ReStructure Mix Update (11/8/25): ”As Long As You Love Me” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – True Example
True Example is disco/soul ensemble released on Salsoul Records and features Cubby St. Charles on lead male vocals. Their 12” single released in 1977 is a double sided gem featuring “Love Is Finally Coming My Way” and the flip side, “As Long As You Love Me” - produced by Baker, Harris & Young Productions. These tracks are two of the singles which outline the soulful feeling behind disco music in a melodic exercise. “As Lone As You Love Me” is one of the sweet love songs put to Salsoul’s disco outline. Each part of the recording is memorable and stamped with the magic that brings disco music and soul together. An incredible piece which will always gain new fans as it moves forward with music history.
I have taken the 12” version of “As Long As You Love Me” and stripped down the percussion and acapella elements into a new ReStructure Mix. There are a few looping string parts to bring a dub-like feel to this new love anthem.

ReStructure Mix Update (11/6/25): ”Little Red Corvette” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Prince
Prince (Prince Rogers Nelson) is a funk/disco artist from the early 80s who changed the face of music during his own musical growth. His first double album titled “1999” released in 1982 was a landmark recording which featured his unique style of light rock and funk fused tightly with his classic drum tracks. “Little Red Corvette” is one of the singles from this project and perhaps one of the “coolest” tracks of the time. This one pounds out the pain of the start of an uncertain relationship which may not be too promising - but worth the ride. Prince gives his all in this song and makes several movements throughout which even today are messages in the music itself.
I have taken the 12” version of “Little Red Corvette” and have given this one another run around the block for the ReStructure Mix. Placing more of those funky guitar segments in front of the new arrangement and working the energy in a new way.

ReStructure Mix Update (10/31/25): ”Let’s Trade” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Zak
Zak (Zacharias Preen) is a German actor and recorded a couple of singles in the early 80’s. His 1984 release titled “Let’s Trade” is a street beat piece with a touch of his rhythms in the rapping genre with a new wave touch. The focus is on Wall Street trading and the terminology therein. Recorded in various dimensions where the latest word is taking on the trading world. One of the recordings in a genre that would follow artists like Paul Hardcastle and tracks like “19”. A definite 80s venture with the turn on strange avenues and emulating a rhythm for moving.
I have taken the 12” version of “Let’s Trade” and reinvested the groove in a new ReStructure Mix. The pumping bass tracks and street beats are entangled in a new arrangement which focuses more on the continuity of the energy.

ReStructure Mix Update (10/29/25): ”Dog Was A Doughnut” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Cat Stevens
ReStructure Mix Update (10/29/25): ”Dog Was A Doughnut” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Cat Stevens
Cat Stevens is a 60s folk, pop and rock artist who made a shift in his creative process in 1977 with an electronic piece titled, “Dog Was A Doughnut” from his album “Izitso”. The track was a simple keyboard rhythm accentuated by a few climatic moments where the psychodelica takes over. An experimental piece for 1977 in rhythm and execution. The lasting effect was felt through 1983 when a street track titled “Salsa Smurf” by Special Request on Tommy Boy Records replayed the outline in a new display of homage and rekindling the original moment. Although the bass lines are a light tapping of intrinsic energy they fulfill the underground style of many early influences in dance music.
I have taken the album version of “Dog Was A Doughnut” and readministered the track with a new energy for this ReStructure Mix. Using the keyboard segments in their original state and also adding a few guest appearances from Laurie Anderson. A heavy early morning beat keep the bass alive in a new experience.
