ReStructure Mix Update (3/1/15) “Blue Steel” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Rinder & Lewis

Laurin Rinder and W. Michael Lewis created a world for disco music in the mid-70s with an edge of lounge jazz and the underground disco beat and percussion of the period. Their work always displayed an imaginative feel with a place for the infectious groove. “Warriors” is their second album from 1979 with several tracks which remain classics among followers and great material for the true disco underground. “Blue Steel” is a piece of light disco jazz with their synthesizer and keyboard reaching an eerie edge. One of the great mixtures of their talent was in tracks as this.

I have taken the album version of “Blue Steel” and worked this ReStructure Mix to give homage to both it and the artists. It uses some new drum tracks and a reedit to piece with more mystic in a trance/lounge feel.

This ReStructure Mix is dedicated to W. Michael Lewis for his incredible talent and also for remaining true to a sound which remains one of the most uplifting and definitive of a great era.
