I Wanna Take You There (Now) - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Gino Soccio

• I Wanna Take You There (Now) - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Gino Soccio

Disco music made it possible for some musicians to find a place they could call there own. Donna Summer, Alec R. Costandinos, Cerrone, etc. During the transition to a more synthetic and artistic approach at disco music, Gino Soccio emerged. Soccio had worked on several studio projects prior to his solo LP - Kebekelektrik, Bombers, Karen Silver and Witch Queen. His concept on the live instrumental 60's rock style influence and the art of electronic music which created his first solo hit, "Dancer." This song gave Soccio the key to disco city.

In 1980 as disco music began to insist on a reformation of style since nu-wave Jamaican influenced music and pop were taking over the charts and dance floor again. Soccio had the answer, "S-Beat". This LP featured several songs in various genres which maintained his engineering techniques. The tracks which held on to his disco persuasion were "Rhythm Of The World" and "I Wanna Take You There (Now)" - both cuts being as innovative and true to a new sound as Soccio had delivered on his first LP.


I have taken "I Wanna Take You There (Now)" and added so to speak edges to the square - creating a flow for the song and added several breakdowns. It doesn't quite tell any story - but "dance to the music!"





This ReStructure is dedicated to DJ Joey - whose love for true disco music and fondness for Soccio are enough to motivate this mix. Thank you, Joey!
