"Love Rush" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Ann Margret

• "Love Rush" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Ann Margret

Ann Margret is the darling of the 60’s movie screen. Many of her film roles included her sensual and determined vocals. In 1979, disco music was very honored to welcome Margret onto the dance floors with her disco debut, “Love Rush” on Ocean/Ariola Records.

This was of course an attempt to burst into the disco trend of the time, but well worth it. Produced by Paul Sabu, Marc Kreiner and Tom Cossie – this single from the LP titled “Ann Margret” had the power to open doors to any dance floor. A fabulous string ensemble and infectious percussion track make this one last forever.

A ReStructure in this sense is well worth it – I dedicate this mix to Randy Sumner of Palm Springs. We had talked about this track this past weekend and I looped a vocal track that we laughed about over and over with. Thank you, Randy – you are a “winner”!

"Disco Nights (Rock Freak)" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - GQ

• "Disco Nights (Rock Freak)" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - GQ

In 1978 disco reached a period when the sound was very sophisticated and "chic" - much of the music of this time reflected the night life off of the excitement occurring in clubs. GQ was a band which became an anthem for nightlife.

Produced by Beau Ray Fleming with mixing assistance by Jimmy Simpson this venture was one of disco musics most promising of it's time. "Disco Nights (Rock Freak)" is still considered a classic among the top. It is a slick and well executed track.


I have ReStructured the cut using more of the percussion elements and also pumping up some additional breaks. This one goes out to all of the die-hards who can't get enough of this fantastic sound - it will live on-and-on.

"Extraterrestrial Lover" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Chantal Pierre (Sylvia Love)

• "Extraterrestrial Lover" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Chantal Pierre (Sylvia Love)

Producer Trevor Vallis and writers Mike Brayn and Steve Coe created an underground disco classic that takes the dance floor into a fantasy world. The vocal was recorded under the name of Sylvia Love originally but now known as Chantal Pierre.

Chantal recently appeared on Strictly Confidential and I promised to remix her classic track - this is that venture. I have taken into mind that the track needed an arrangement that kept Chantal's wonderful vocal intact. I have laid out a new synthesizer base which brings a completely new feel to the song.

This is dedicated to Chantal who is a lovely lady and I thank for making me "fly" in my mind with this incredible performance.

"Willie and The Hand Jive" by Rinder and Lewis - Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

Rinder and Lewis released a project titled “Warriors” in 1979 – their work has always been instrumental in formulating disco music during the mid and late 70's. Discognosis, El Coco, In Search Of Orchestra, Le Pamplemousse, Saint Tropez, and Tuxedo Junction were some of their outstanding contributions to the dance era.

“Warriors” was a disco venture, which outlined a few hits from the 60’s dance floor – luckily they took on a cover of Johnny Otis’ “Willie and The Hand Jive” – but on disco terms. The percolating synthesizers and percussion work this track as if it were created for the disco beats and along a persuasive vocal.

This has always been one track that I honored as deep-rooted disco.

Taking the 1988 John Waters’s comedy “Hairspray” and applying it to this track hit me and is now a new take on 60’s meets 70’s. Ricki Lake, Divine, Jerry Stiller, Deborah Harry, Ruth Brown and Sonny Bono are among the talent that has kept this film alive even today. Waters created a true classic with this project.

Michael Zager and Jerry Love produced the Spinners1979 LP "Dancin' and Lovin'". The LP was a venture into disco assimilation of the time.

"Working My Way Back To You" was a cover of The Four Seasons' 1965 hit - this track was a perfect match for the vocals of the Spinners. Their disco version was a big hit on dance floors and the single climbed up the charts immediately. This track is still considered a disco classic in it's own right.

"I Need A Man" has been ReStructured with a bit of rearranging on the lamented elements of this disco single. After reassessing the production of the original you may find something new in it.

This creation disco-fied William Shakespeare’s tale of love and tragedy and made it a common know masterpiece among disco audiophiles. It is truly a wonderful piece of music that transcends dance floors.

Taking Franco Zeffirelli’s 1968 “Romeo & Juliet” featuring Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting and match the drama is the only way I could pay homage to Costandinos for his genius. It is truly an experience that brought tears to my eyes.

This one was a real showstopper – an emotional and soulful showcase. Produced by Patrick Adams with his trademark sound of percussion and strings taking part in the drama.

Joe La Greca along with Denis LePage created Diva’s “Double Trouble” – a big hit for the Canadian disco movement in the early 80’s. Studio bands like Lime helped to bridge the sound of disco music in transition from Euro-disco to an electronic fusion.

“Double Trouble” is complete assembling of the La Greca and LePage disco sound, which dominated dance floors throughout the 80’s.

I have taken Alfred Hitchcock’s “Strangers On A Train” from 1951 starring Farley Granger and Robert Walker to complete the statement from the disco track. Walker takes control of Farley’s life by murdering a nuisance wife who begins a tale of suspense and action. Anyone who has seen the film will understand what is intended here.

Myself being an extreme Hitchcock fan could not wait to use this masterpiece in a Video Mix.

• "Breathless" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Trax

This is the kind of gem that you reminds what disco music was about. Produced by Pete Bellotte (Donna Summer, Roberta Kelly, Munich Machine, Stainless Steel, Sugar Cane, Joy Fleming, Marsha Hunt, Three Degrees) and Keith Forsey (Billy Idol, Gen X, Disco Circus, Mick Rowley, Icehouse ) – this project may remind many of tracks by La Bionda and some Euro-disco productions of the late seventies. It has everything you need.

“Breathless” is from the LP “Watch Out” – this one cooks – it has several hooks which I have ReStructured to give an even flow of energy throughout the song. This is one of my favorites when it comes to horn sections, strings, percussion and killer bass hooks.

This one is dedicated to Michael Rosensteel who is a life-long friend and I have probably danced to this in our 70’s party days in some club. Michael loves this song and that proves to me that he knows his “disco.”

"American Generation" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - The Ritchie Family

• "American Generation" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - The Ritchie Family

In 1978 The Ritchie Family LP “American Generation” added flair to disco music, which used the idea that an uplifting theme could resonate on the dance floor forever. Fans of this ensemble have yet to let go of this feeling.

Produced by Jacques Morali (Village People, India, Eartha Kitt, Patrick Juvet, Dennis Parker, Julius Brown) this clever LP worked on using disco to outline a more positive outlook on disco’s effect. While listening to this track you can still hear the excitement that the disco era created.


I have ReStructured the track from its LP version to give more appeal to the vocals and the fantastic orchestration – and have a little fun with some pieces of the excitement.
