"Sorcerer" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Norma Jean


"Sorcerer" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Norma Jean

Norma Jean is a familiar name and voice in disco history. Not only is her voice apart of the magic of the band Chic - she is also the singer who made the weekends exciting with her 1978 dance floor track, "Saturday", Her self titled album from 1978 contained this hit and her follow-up single, "Sorcerer". The production is the masterful sound of Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards. The guitars and rhythm do not get any more serious than this.

I have taken the 12" version of "Sorcerer" - which is one that I have 3 copies of from wearing out both on turntables and rewinding on cassettes - and re-worked it into a new ReStructure Mix - creating new beat lops with some of the guitar fame of Chic and working Norma's lyrics and theme deeper and deeper.

A favorite and a great time to spend reworking this great track!
