ReStructure Mix Update (7/30/15) “Stoned Love” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Sweet Brandy

Sweet Brandy is a Canadian disco project from produced Jerry Cucuzzella – who also gave us Suzy Q, Quantum, Sandy Steele, Plastic Surprise, and Dorazio. The early 80s were filled with electronic high energy music following the demise of the big disco orchestration sessions. It was a simpler but not less effective. A new sound was filling club and the rolling sound of high energy began taking the stage. Sweet Brandy’s cover of The Supremes’ “Stoned Love” is an irresistible dance number and features the vocals of Patti Masi (better known as Vera). This ‘sweet’ arrangement on the J.C. Records 12” is arranged by Louis Toteda,

I have taken the original long version from the 12” single and worked on this ReStructure Mix to bring back this sound which many will remember saving that disco feeling during the early and mid-80s. I have extended the track and also chopped it into several movements with more breakdowns and chances to catch that wonderful melody – both in verses and choruses.

This ReStructure Mix is dedicated to the talented Mr. Louis Toteda – thanks for your friendship and incredible dance music you have left us with to move to over-and-over!
