"Holiday" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Moulin Rouge

• "Holiday" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Moulin Rouge

Michael Zager produced, arranged and conducted music for dance floors which bring to mind a celebration. And which track rings true to this? "Holiday" by Moulin Rouge.

Released in 1979 on ABC Records this project consisted of covers of Bee Gees classic ballads set to the trendy disco beat of the time - complete with a full orchestra ala Zager. The album cover images are creative in several way - by emulating the hit Bee Gees LP "Spirits Having Flown" with 3 hot models who eventually break out into the Moulin Rouge fever.

The vocal ensemble on this session consisted of Alvin Fields, Stephanie Spruill, Julia Tillman and Lorna M. Willard.

I have ReStructured "Holiday" with the fabulous horn and string arranagements in mind and given the song a few more breakdown points.

"Let's Fly" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Paradise Express

• "Let's Fly" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Paradise Express

Herb Jimmerson was the genius behind Paradise Express - his masterful keyboards along with an ear for progressive electronic music made his wife, Vi Ann a powerful voice in disco music.

Following their first LP in 1978 (which included a remake of the Paul Jabara dance classic "Dance") did "Let's Fly" emerge onto the dance. At the time, this project was a breath of fresh air. 2 tracks form the LP were in heavy rotation on many dance floors: "Let's Fly" and "You Set Me On Fire". With Vi Ann wonderful vocals and Jimmerson's sharp electronic arrangements these tracks were instant hits.

I have taken one of my all-time favorites, "Let's Fly" and ReStructured it with a new intro and spaced out more of the elements in the song.

Dedicated to Herb Jimmerson and Vi Ann for sharing their wonderful talents in disco music.

"Boogie Oogie Oogie" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - A Taste Of Honey

• "Boogie Oogie Oogie" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - A Taste Of Honey

A Taste Of Honey was Janice Marie Johnson, Hazel Payne, Perry Kimble, and Donald Johnson - their 1978 hit "Boogie Oogio Oogie" is a dance floor must for any retro act.

The track emphasised an allegiance to the disco ball from it's first sound. It was disco magic and continues to bring the funk and bass of disco music together in a tight little package.

ReStructuring a well-known classic is a bit un-nerving. I did it with a bit of fantasy for lengthier breaks and a breakdown after each chorus. I dedicate this to my partner Ken, who came from heavy-metal but since has learned respect and the full meaning of disco music. With love!

Thank you, Ken :)

"Love's Coming/Baby Love" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - USA European Connection

• "Love's Coming/Baby Love" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - USA European Connection

A disco masterpiece!

When Boris Midney recorded "Come Into My Heart" using his studio name, USA European Connection in 1978, dance floors all over the world also felt something was happening to disco music.

This was one of the most experimental periods of musician meets studio. Very much what concept bands like Tangerine Dream were to rock.

"Love's Coming/Baby Love" is a favorite among any disco music connoisseur. It has all elements of the sound of Philly and also the European flair of symphonic disco - all wrapped together with a new studio edge of electronics and new age arrangements.

Mr. Midney is forever embedded in the "Disco Hall Of Fame" for this one.

This ReStructure breaks the song into segments - as my style of remixing is much influenced by Midney who takes a pulsating bongo track and drops into a dead beat.

This mix is dedicated to all of those who have supported my efforts in keeping disco music alive for the next generation to stand and dance in awe of it.
Thanks, guys :)

The 1982 disco anthem, “In The Name Of Love” by Sharon Redd is probably one of the best club records ever.

Produced by Eric Matthew and arranged by Jay Leon this track never looses it’s magic and impact. Thanks to Sharon’s outstanding vocal performance and the moving lyrics “In The Name Of Love” continues her legacy after her passing in 1992.

I have taken excerpts from the 1995 film, “Waiting To Exhale” - directed by Forest Whitaker and stars Whitney Houston, Angela Basset, Lela Rochon and Loretta Devine. The film portrays the challenges in the game of love with four beautiful women – the joy, tears, heartbreak and emotion. “In The Name Of Love” always struck me as a wonderful narrative for the drama.

Haruomi Hosono, Yukihiro Takahashi and Ryuichi Sakamoto were Yellow Magic Orchestra – their debut solo album in 1977 was a conceptual project, which blended an exotic oriental sound with electronics. In 1978 they released a self-titled album that contained an innovative electronic dance track, “Computer Games”. This instrumental contained many keyboard elements very much in a style and effort that electronic projects similar to the German band Kraftwerk.

I have taken this wonderful piece of music and placed it below visuals from the 1968 Japanese monster film, “Majin, The Monster Of Terror” - a tale of a small town being ruled by a bad Samurai leader who means his waterloo with a sacred giant stone statue that wrecks havoc when called upon to save the village. It is a film I can remember seeing a child and the visions of Majin’s horrifying transformation to life were never forgotten.

The blending of Yellow Magic Orchestra and “Majin, The Monster of Terror” is an opportunity to hear a progressive electronic dance track and action and adventure on the same ticket.

The script was originally written by Rod Serling But many changes were made to create a more primitive ape society rather than a futuristic as Serling envisioned.

Roland Romanelli worked with Jean-Philippe Iliesco on many projects by Space. The electronic fusion of dance music in the early 70's began as a new age influence with a symphonic touch.

Many of these projects became instant dance floor favorites ("Magic Fly", "Carry On, Turn Me On") thanks to the adventurous angle and focus on percussion and rhythm. Romanelli had a large part in the arrangement of many of Space's successes. His talent and ear for beauty helped bring his solo effort to success.

"Connecting Flight" has one of the most beautiful and resonant melodies and is ReStructured here to remind us that music touches our souls. It is the beat and effect of disco music along with it's endless boundaries that made it and will continue to keep it alive.

Thanks to Romanelli - this is an homage to this genius.

Fantastic vocal on "Keep On Taking Me High" that is sensual and powerful. The track is the sound of a fast paced Charo disco number complete with Spanish guitars and castanets. It moves with a sleek and wonderful transition arrangement including several great elements including percussion, piano and a psychedelic keyboard.

I have added this track to the ReStructure list to bring it back to mind and also that a great underground sound can be as breath taking as a the hottest new formula.

The film stars Marsha Mason, John Beck and Anthony Hopkins and was directed by Robert Wise. It has some haunting moments and is probably better read than seen, since the subject and believe is deeper than visuals.

"Shake It Baby Love" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Ferrara

• "Shake It Baby Love" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Ferrara

John Ferrara (Suave, 'Lectric Funk, Lysa Lynn) produced "Wuthering Heights" project which resembled a concept LP as "Romeo & Juliet" by Alec R. Costandinos where a disco symphony is based on a classic theme or story. In 1979, at the production of this project, Ferrara used more electronic elements introducing a more disco-fied feel along with the stands strings and arrangements.

The big hit from the LP was "Love Attack" which remains a classic among disco audiophiles. I have taken the B-side (which was actually the 12" single A-side) "Shake It Baby Love" and re grouped the track for a new mix. The keyboard and synthesizer work on this LP brought many new changes to way we listened to disco music at the end of it's pop presence. It gave disco a more underground feel and placed it right back where it should have been - an underground sound for this hardcore arena.

• "Let's Lovedance Tonight" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Gary's Gang

Eric Matthew (Sharon Redd, Tracy Weber, Status IV, Betty LaVette, John Travolta's "A Girl Like You) and Gary R. Turnier (Vicky "D", Komiko) were Gary's Gang along with several band members.

Their initial hit, "Keep On Dancing" was produced with the formula that disco music matured into from the mid-70's to the late part of the "fever". The LP spawned another hit titled, "Let's Lovedance Tonight" - a sound alike of "Keep On Dancing" yet enough riffs and one of the most sampled rhythm tracks to make it stand out on it's own.

I have taken "Let's Lovedance Tonight" and given it a open mix full of the rhythm and percussion that made it stand out. The vocals are as sweet as the "gang" was known for, so this one is a real treat.

Magazine 60 were a French electro-synth band composed of Dominique Regiacorte and Jean-Luc Drion (Drion, Chocolat's, Discotheque). This duo created 1984’s dance track, “Don Quichotte” that became an instant club hit thanks to its catchy keyboard riffs and clever theme.

I have taken the 1972 United Artist film version of the Broadway play, “Man Of LaMancha” with Peter O’Toole, Sophia Loren and James Coco and blended the two for a strange yet somewhat connected Disco Video Mix.

The musical was suggested by the classic novel Don Quixote de la Mancha by Miguel de Cervantes, but more directly based on Dale Wasserman's 1959 non-musical television play, I, Don Quixote, which combines a semi-fictional episode from the life of Cervantes with scenes from his novel.

"Dynamite!" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Stacy Lattisaw

• "Dynamite!" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Stacy Lattisaw

In 1979, Van McCoy produced Stacy Lattisaw's first LP titled "Young And In Love" - this was a young talent that displayed the crossover of pop to disco. Bunny Hull and Narada Michael Walden took over Lattisaw's talent in 1980 with the formula that began a new style of dance music.

Walden's production of Lattisaw's "Let Me Be Your Angel" was a formula he creatively used with Sister Sledge, Aretha Franklin, Amii Stewart and a few solo LPs. This became a staple of the dance floors in the early 80's.

"Dynamite!" was the first dance track from this project and as memorable as the second follow-up, "Jump To The Beat". It was a pop-dance hit that utilized Stacy's young vocal delivery.

My ReStructure of "Dynamite!" is more focused on the rhythm track and takes the elements into a deeper dance mix. It is a revival of a sound which helped to keep disco alive throughout the early 80's.

"Take Off" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Harlow

• "Take Off" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Harlow

Disco music's transition to high-energy was a process that began in the early 80's. With projects like "Taking Off" by Harlow in 1980 - a Canadian studio group produced by Mike Alyanak and Alex Aleander a fusion of the smooth Euro-disco sound and the driving sound of the dance floor pulse. The LP was close to a latter-day Voyage or Cerrone effort.

"Take Off" became an instant dance floor track that was memorable and lasting from this period. It had the driving energy that dance floors were ready to turn their feet over and yet a beautiful arrangement and vocal track to last.

I was lucky enough to see Harlow perform at a club in Hollywood during the early 80's and experiencing this ensemble perform this song live was surprising - it was just as powerful.

My ReStructure is a homage to the track and dissects parts of the song into a whole me meaning.

Eruption featuring Precious Wilson released in 1978 was a dance floor classic from day one! Produced by Frank Farian (Boney M, Gilla, Milli Vanilli) and conducted by Steve Hammer.

Precious Wilson was recording solo during this time to help promote the emerging dance sound and also her unique style of vocal. This track is one of her greatest achievements where it pours emotion over the synthetic riffs and horns. It is truly amazing.

I have ReStructured "I Can't Stand The Rain" with some new stomping beats and percussion along with the dedication to a "New America" where we were tired of Bush and GOP bringing us down - "I Can't Stand The Rain"! And it's over...thank goodness. Enjoy and keep dancing.
