"Grateful" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Sylvester

Sylvester (Sylvester James) hit the disco scene in 1977 with a self-titled album containing the garage classic "Over and Over". His second project titled "Step II" was co-produced by Harvey Fuqua and featured synthesizers by Patrick Cowley.

"Grateful" is another track from the "Step II" album which contained the energy of the disco era and encompassed Sylvester belief in life - "to be grateful!" It is a celebratory track and still holds the key to keeping your life humble and happy.

I have ReStructured this track and extended it's 3:27 timing to a little over 8:00 to give the happiness a go at it a bit longer!

"Remember" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Gino Soccio

"Remember" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Gino Soccio

Gino Soccio released "Face To Face" in 1982 - it was his fourth project beginning with the success of his classic LP "Outline" - his sound was a unique blend of disco and the sharp edge of electronics. Quite a genius in his own time and even today is respected as an innovative writer, producer and musician.

"Remember" is from the 1982 LP and is a track that emphasizes on sequencers and a dreamy-like feel. A great off-beat choice for disco music and was a big part of the 80's dance scene allowing disco artists to experiment a bit more.

"Discognosis" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Discognosis

"Discognosis" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Discognosis

Discognosis is an early project from 1977 by Michael Lewis and Lauren Rinder - along with producers, Ed Cobb and Ray Harris. The starting phase for AVI Records who became a trademark for disco music in the mid and late 80's.

This LP was similar to El Coco which Rinder and Lewis brought to life in 1975 with the first LP titled "Mondo Disco". The single "Discognosis" is a session with the funky bass line that their projects were so namely for, as well as plenty of slick keyboards.

Disco music has grown and yet learned from projects as this and continue to return to the roots for the base of this funky formula.

This ReStructure Mix creates another breakdown mix for this classic sound - and also adds a few new pieces to give a whole new sound to move to.

Dedicated with respect and homage to the wonderful men who keep the faith of disco music alive, forever - Michael W. Lewis and Lauren Rinder

"First Hand Experience In Second Hand Love" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Giorgio

"First Hand Experience In Second Hand Love" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Giorgio

Giorgio Moroder receives another visit to his "From Here To Eternity" project - this time around the track "First Hand Experience In Second Hand Love". The disco answer to "Love Potion #9" - where a man visits the mystic lady to find a clue and instead finds love.

One of Moroder's most hypnotic projects and weaving of sequencers and keyboards create a classic that continues to mystify listeners and dancers throughout time.

I have ReStructured the track by extending segments and adding a few new drum and rhythm beats - as well as some new features to help bring the song to life again.

Dedicated to the hardcore Moroder fans who keep his wonderful music alive.

"Magic Nights" by Zara-Thustra - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

"Magic Nights" by Zara-Thustra - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

Zara-Thustra is a German band consisting of Alfons Weindorf, Clemens Weindorf and Eberhard Wilhelm - their 1986 dance single "Magic Nights" was a track, which was quite popular in hardcore dance clubs. A perfect early morning record - very melodic and beautiful.

I have used the song in this Disco Video Mix along with scenes from the 1989 film "Longtime Companion" - a film that depicts the AIDS epidemic in the 80's and the crisis, tears and strength it created. I have dedicated this project to those who have lost loved ones to this devastating disease. The footage takes the scenes from the lives of the characters from the story and outlines the theme of the song.

I believe the "Magic Nights" will always live - the time we shares - laughed, loved and celebrated and eventually said "goodbye" to our unfortunate loved ones. It is meant as a tribute to the strength and courage of those survivors who still hold those great moments.

The film stars Bruce Davidson, Campbell Scott, Patrick Cassidy, and Brian Cousins - it was directed by Norman Rene

"Memory" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Menage

Menage is a disco project from Warren Schatz (Vicki Sue Robinson, The Brothers, The New York Community Choir) and Eric Matthew (Gary's Gang, Sharon Redd) that creates disco melodies from Broadway tunes and pop-hits. Their 1983 single "Memory (Theme from Cats)" was a instant hit - since dance floors in the early 80's were still searching for the lyrical sound of disco music.

I have taken the track and given it a new arrangement and flow with a ReStructure Mix - a request made from Tony B. from San Diego. I promised Tony I would create a new mix and here is that moment. The cover has always been one of my favorites so remixing it was a joy!

Belle Epoque is Evelyn Verrecchia, Giusy ortes and Marzia Thear - their 1977 LP "Miss Broadway" was producer Prima Linea and his artistic femme concept. The single is the first of the numbers from the group to make a mark on dance floors and is one of the well-known.

I have taken "Miss Broadway" with it's memorable lead and bass guitar track and extended pieces and added a few new beat tracks and percussion. It is a project long coming since the track did some good for me in programs at the end of the 70's.

"Anybody Wanna Party" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Gloria Gaynor

Gloria Gaynor's "Love Tracks" LP from 1978 does not only contain the disco anthem, "I Will Survive" - on the funkier side Gloria has asked the question that many of us have answered, "Heck yah!" "Anybody Wanna Party" And so the disco era was complete.

The song is ReStructured thanks to a request from Bob T. - it is broken into bits and then pieced back to together with a new drum beat and some new effects. I have always favored this song and had a great time remixing it for you.

"You Can't Turn Me Off (In The Middle Of Turning Me On)" by High Ingery - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

"You Can't Turn Me Off (In The Middle Of Turning Me On)" by High Ingery - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

High Inergy is a female ensemble from the Motown Family who were styled after The Supremes - and even take their name from a Supreme's LP. The group shared a success with their 1977 LP "Turnin' On" which included the single "You Can't Turn Me Off (In The Middle Of Turning Me On)" which reached #2 on the soul charts and #12 on the pop charts.

The group recorded several projects up to 1983 and then disbanded - however their contribution with "You Can't Turn Me Off" keeps their memory alive forever in disco land.

I have taken the 1987 romantic comedy "Mannequin" and paired up the track for a spin with Andrew McCarthy and Kim Cattrall. It is a silly film about a window dresser who falls for a mannequin who comes to life thanks to an old Egyptian spell. The romance works well with the flow of the song.

"From East To West" by Voyage - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

"From East To West" by Voyage - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

The 1977 LP "Voyage" by Voyage marks a place in disco history that is hard to forget. It is a time where Euro-disco painted strong images and feelings for a dance floor waiting to be taken away to a fantasy world. The title track "From East To West" is a classic and leaves the imagination feeling unlimited - as well as the dance floor ready for more.

The project was produced by Roger Tokarz and features musicians Marc Chantereau, Pierre Alain Dahan and Slim Pezin as well as many backup ensembles from Cerrone and Munich disco recording sessions.

I have taken the 1956 adventure film, "Around The World In 80 Days" based on the Jules Verne's novel and placed scenes and images in this Disco Video Mix. The scenic quality works quite well and leaves little wonder on how this song by Voyage has become a classic piece for disco lovers all over the world.

The 1988 electronic street beat track "One Small Step" from Apollo II gets the Disco Video Mix treatment. John Davies and Nigel Stock of Passion Records produce the song. It is highly influenced by tracks like "19" by Paul Hardcastle with the "Mars walk" in mind.

I have taken the 1977 film "Capricorn One" starring Elliott Gould, James Brolin and Sam Waterston - the film centered on a hoax and conspiracy from the government to keep a failed mission alive. The visuals are farther out into space - but work as well for the disco track.

"Trippin' On The Moon" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix -Cerrone

Cerrone traveled throughout many periods of dance music without losing a beat. His innovative nature gave him the opportunity to thrive in the disco garden throughout the mid 70's and even currently.

In the 80's Cerrone faced a time where disco music became more electronic - leaving the sound of symphonia and big production sound behind. IT was during this time where an artists is challenged and the worthy survive. Cerrone handles this very well with his production of "Trippin' On The Moon". The LP "Backtrack" offered several concepts that keep the disco theme alive.

I have taken the now cult classic "Trippin' On The Moon" and have sprinkled my own concept of "the sounds that last throughout time" - embellishing the classic track with the energy and power it has - hoping to keep it alive for more celebration.

"Dancing and Romancing" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Passion

"Dancing and Romancing" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Passion

Disco music evolved during the mid 70's thanks to producers like Ray Martinez - a Cuban born songwriter, musician and singer. His style was a smooth Euro-disco feel done with a Miami flair. It was unforgettable on dance floors and helped to tame many dancers looking for the beauty in dance music.

Passion is a project Martinez produced and created in 1979 which marked not only the changing of an era but also the breaths of what disco music had become. "Dancing and Romancing" is from the LP and has always been one of my favorites.

I have ReStructured "Dancing and Romancing" using the piano, strings and bass elements to work a whole new feeling. The wonderful bongo and rhythm tracks of the original have also been slightly enhanced.

Dedicated to Mr. Ray Martinez for being one of the great producers who truly respected disco music and it's dancers.

"It Must Be Love" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Alton McClain and Destiny

Alton McClain and Destony (D'Marie Warren and Robyrda Stiger) are girl group responsible for the 1978 dance floor hit "It Must Be Love" - produced by John Footman and Frank Wilson.

The song became an instant radio hit and it's response on dance floors was equally positive. The song is a funk/soul recipe with a fantastic vocal performance by the trio. It is reminiscent of great Motown productions with the alluring girl group sound.

I have ReStructured the track since it is an all-time favorite and have given it a new intro and stretched a few segments out as well as rearrange the flow. It is still one of those classics that bring to mind the disco edge with lots of soul.

The big close of an era of disco music is the climatic track from Village People and Jacques Morali, who produced and composed. The theme from the short-lived film which was awaited so as the big disco epic. It did not do so well in the theatre arena but picked up on the soundtrack end. And with Village People and The Ritchie Family as featured artists it was all disco fans needed.

"Can't Stop The Music" is ReStructured from the 12" long version and given a few new pieces to remind you of the disco floor and it's allure.

Dedicated to the boys from the troupe and their everlasting effect on the uplifting sound and period of disco music.

“Living On Video” by Trans-X - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

The 80’s came alive on dance floors with tracks like “Living On Video” by Trans-X (Cerstin “Cessy” Strecker and Pascal Languirand). The 1983 hit brought a new element to electronic music by bridging the new wave edge along with disco electronic synthesizers. It was an exciting time.

I have placed the 1983 David Cronenberg horror-film “Videodrome” starring James Woods and Deborah Harry (Blondie) along with this track - this film was requested to be used by Jussi K. and I had to wait for the right mood and track to accent it with. The film depicts a cable-TV programmer who become involved in ultimate programming fashion that brings video literally into his life.

It is a graphic piece so beware of your eyes!

"Love Now Hurt Later" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Giorgio and Chris

"Love Now Hurt Later" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Giorgio and Chris

Giorgio Moroder and Chris Bennett created a disco project in 1978 that began a period in dance music that became the innovative electronic edge that forged dance music ahead. It was the sound of Moroder's keyboards and Bennett's beautiful vocals which marked a sound for disco similar to what Captain and Tennille did for pop music. It was upbeat and fun.

"Love Now Hurt Later" is from the LP "Love's In You, Love's In Me" which also reflected the sound of the second Munich Machine project which title track was a cover of the Harem Procol classic "A Whiter Shade Of Pale". This was later covered in Canada by Ann Joy.

I have taken the track into a ReStructure trip using the rolling synthesizer and Bennett's exquisite vocal as a foundation for a whole new version.

This ReStructure Mix is dedicated to the wonderful Chris Bennett - check out Chris' new music at www.chrisbennett.com

Jorge Barreiro produced Caution in 1980 - his past work included Black Ivory, Disco Rollers, Bamboo (“I Don’t Wanna Lose It”) and J.R. and The Love Machine. The single “Let It In (Rock)” was a disco blend of distorted guitars and heavy disco bass - along with a mimic rock vocal. The song always sounded like a follow up to Chi Chi Favales and The Black and White Band.

I have taken the track and blended it with the 1979 film starring Bette Midler, “The Rose” -using the concert sequences as the metaphor in the light rock essence of this disco track.

"Hot Wax" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Mother (F)

"Hot Wax" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Mother (F)

Denis Lepage is Mother (F) - he was the Instrumental for many Canadian high energy classics in the early 80's (ex. Carol Jiani, Chris Mills, Voggue) as well as the genius of Lime along with Denyse Lepage.

The classic sound of the 80's dance scene was a deliberate electronic arrangement taking disco music into the 80's with a new emphasis on percussion and recording. Lepage certainly helped to modify this new sound with his music and innovation.

"Hot Wax" is a very well known instrumental that rings familiar with Lepage's recordings and yet holds the essence of it's own. I have taken the track to give it a new ReStructure Mix which is more of an edit taking parts and pieces of this solid beauty and scrambling it into a new arrangement. Using some of the keyboards and percussion to invoke a new rendition.

I have taken the track to give it a new ReStructure Mix which is more of an edit taking parts and pieces of this solid beauty and scrambling it into a new arrangement. Using some of the keyboards and percussion to invoke a new rendition.

"Copacabana (At The Copa)" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Barry Manilow

"Copacabana (At The Copa)" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Barry Manilow

Barry Manilow was apart of the disco generation with the uplifting and rhythmic song, "Copacabana (At The Copa)" from his 1978 LP "Even Now" - the track emphasized the celebratory feeling that disco music was all about. With touches of rumba and hustle dance steps injected.

The song has been included as the pop-disco classics of the 70's and I always felt was waiting for an alternative mix on the original recording. This ReStructure Mix is playful and digs deep into not only the story but some of the wonderful percussive tracks.

Dedicated to the memory of Tony Davila - a dancer here in San Diego who always made this song come alive.

“Invasion” by Patrick Cowley - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

“Invasion” by Patrick Cowley - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

Patrick Cowley has left a legacy of electronic music that moves us far beyond it’s meaning since there is so much mystery to his own talent. It is known that Patrick worked on many projects during the late 70’s infusing his own version of keyboards and sequencers to elevate dance music even more so. It was hits by disco star, Sylvester like “Dance (Disco Heat)” and “Stars” that moved him into the early 80’s with his own trademark sound.

“Technological World” is Patrick Cowley’s final project before he was taken from us by AIDS - it was a tragedy in that Patrick had only begun to inject his sound. There could have been so much more. “Invasion” is the second track on the LP which uses a science fiction theme to move the landscape of bustling keyboards and bass sequencers along.

I have taken the 1956 science fiction film, “Earth vs. The Flying Saucers” to fill in the soundtrack and give Patrick’s disco track some vivid life. The film was directed by Fred F. Sears and is one of the best Saturday matinee sci-fi flicks to date.

“I’m Caught Up (In A One Night Love Affair)” by Inner Life - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

“I’m Caught Up (In A One Night Love Affair)” by Inner Life - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

Inner Life is Greg Carmichael, Patrick Adams and Jocelyn Brown - a power house disco burst from the New York disco sound. Their big classic “I’m Caught Up (In A One Night Love Affair)” is a track that lives on and on - and will remain one of disco music’s most powerful songs.

Jocelyn Brown belts out this track as if it were a torch song from the heart - it is one her finest performances. The production by Greg Carmichael rings into place thanks to Patrick Adams’ genius - with a blend of Afro-Cuban percussion meets a light band-like approach to dance music. This classic sound is now history.

I have taken the song along with the 1986 comedy-drama “About Last Night” starring Demi Moore and Rob Lowe and placed some of the promises, disappointments and victory over love in this Disco Video Mix - it is a blend of the 70’s and 80’s as they meet to make ends meet!

"So Excited" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Nancy Martin

"So Excited" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Nancy Martin

Nancy Martin may be a name that you may not recognize but is a voice you have definitely heard - Nancy is the voice behind Jade's "I'm Gonna Get Your Love" from 1982. Also, her tracks "Can't Believe", and under Nancy Martinez "For Tonight" and "Move Out".

Her Canadian productions were covered by Joel LeGreca (Erotic Drum Band) and featured the early 80's disco feel. "So Excited" is one of the first to bring that high energy flair back to disco in the early 80's. It was a sound that was the soft and lyrical sound that many longed for.

I have ReStructured "So Excited" and gave it a new pieces added with loops and effects to bring back that "excitement".

"With Your Love" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Donna Summer

"With Your Love" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Donna Summer

Donna Summer reigns on all counts during the 1978 release of her first film role and soundtrack to "Thank God It's Friday" - not only had all of her hard work and dedication to disco music paid off but there was also a style and chic-ness to her presence.

The soundtrack included 3 cuts with Donna Summer - one of them being "With Your Love" - which was released as an extended remix on a special 12". This track emphasized the Giorgio Moroder influence along with Summer's falsetto vocal pulling hearts and minds into the disco sound. It was truly one track that caught my ears.

I have ReStructured the track giving it a whole new arrangement using the parts which I favored most along with Donna's knockout velvet/panther like vocals. It is one of my favorites by Donna and hopefully can serve a new purpose with this ReStructure Mix.

"I'm Coming Out" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Diana Ross

"I'm Coming Out" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Diana Ross

Diana Ross has brought the late 70's a renewed sense of passion to dancers and music enthusiasts who knew all along that disco and "Diana" were synonymous. Her early hit "Love Hangover" helped to emphasize the outline on soul and disco music as they began to intermingle.

"I'm Coming Out" is her second big smash hit from the 1980 dream-project for disco lovers - with production by Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers of Chic. The studio session made dance floors regain a new sense of hope for dance music at the start of the 80's.

I have taken "I'm Coming Out" and ReStructured it with a new meaning, breaks, and loops - it was a feeling that came around 4 AM so the completion was necessary with that influence!
