"Christina Talks Back!"

A parody of the Grace Jones underground disco track, "Suffer" mixed with Faye Dunaway from "Mommie Dearest" - after hearing those leather whip snaps, I could not resist a parody of the song and the movie together. Grace Jones meets "Mommie Dearest"!

Space Bass- Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Slick

• Space Bass- Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Slick

Just as their name states, this one is "slick"!
A classic disco cut which seems to age well. With the bass line that rolls and jumps like electricity this dance track is eclectic. Slick was actually Barbara Ingram, Carla Benson and Evette Benton (Sweethearts Of Sigma, Metropolis, backing vocals for Grace Jones, Freddie James, France Joli, Nightlife Unlimited, etc.) so how could this band go wrong.
I have taken the track and "spaced" out breaks and some new effects to elongate this incredible song.

Sky High - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Jigsaw

• Sky High - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Jigsaw

From 1976 and also the theme from a kung-fu film called either, "The Dragon Flies" or "The Man From Hong Kong" came Jigsaw's "Sky High". I can remember as a child seeing the film at a drive in and at the closing of the film as the kung-fu hero takes off on a hang glider over skyscrapers this song blares over the soundtrack. It was quite a memorable moment - little did

I know that I would be ReStructuring the cut this many years later.


It is a classic little number. Great horns and strings as well as fine vocals are a big part of this production. I have broken down the song with more added beats and percussion and looping several elements that are great segues. A+ dance music here!

"Primitive Love" by Ellie Warren - Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

"Primitive Love" was released on Jet Records from England in 1982. It was the start for disco singer Ellie Warren. The cut did not do so well in your standard club, but was the perfect early morning sleaze cut for hardcore dance halls. This video rendition features clips from the Raquel Welch 60's action film, "One Million Years B.C." - it outlines how any girl in a 2-piece fur ensemble survives for love.

(Together In) Electric Dreams - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Giorgio Moroder and Phillip Oakley

• (Together In) Electric Dreams - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Giorgio Moroder and Phillip Oakley

The early 80’s were a period where disco music was transforming pop music into dance fusion. We were lucky to find the champions of disco music, such as Giorgio Moroder holding steady within the industry and giving us projects with a new style and flavor. Although Moroder may have phased a bit from the futuristic feel of disco music he used the pop dance medium as his influence. From this style he created great tunes like the theme from the early computer fantasy film, “Electric Dreams” – the genius was complete in using Human League vocalist, Phillip Oakley. Together they created dreams that lasted on the dance floor.
My ReStructure of this 80’s dance hall premium is dedicated to disco fans everywhere, appropriately.

I'll Tell You - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Sergio Mendes Brazil '88

• I'll Tell You - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Sergio Mendes Brazil '88

Sergio Mendes is the Brazil sound of our time – throughout the late 60’s he created several projects, which marked the sounds of Samba, Latin Vibes and Bossa Nova. It was indeed a surprise when “Magic Lady” was released in 1977. The LP had many cuts that gave a wonderful rendition of Mendes’ versatility to adhere to pop music at the time – which was disco. “I’ll Tell You” is indeed a classic and outlines the excitement of discotheques and the energy they create. This ReStructure Mix takes the song into an arena of playful breaks and loops that work with the effective manner in which the song was originally created.

Dance Across The Floor - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Jimmy "Bo" Horne

• Dance Across The Floor - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Jimmy "Bo" Horne
1978 was the magic year for disco satisfaction! Harry Wayne Casey or as he is better know, K.C. produced this fantastic cut along with Richard Finch. The LP gave Jimmy a place where following his next release, "Spank" became a dance floor favorite. This production emphasises on K.C.'s funky keyboards and a riviting bass guitar.
