ReStructure Mix Update (2/11/16) “Agent Of Liberty” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Mike Mareen

Mike Mareen is a former drummer who began a career as an electronic dance music artist in the late 70s and then became a favorite in the mid-80s with his big hits “Dancing in the Dark” and “Agent Of Liberty”. His style was a simple blend of hard edged synthesizers pounding out the beat and bass of a disco for the 80s. Many clubs favored his somewhat underground feel and the rolling sound of the heavy bass. This may have been another artist influenced by former masters, Giorgio Moroder and Patrick Cowley.

I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental of “Agent Of Liberty” to rework a new sound for this heavy duty keyboard dance piece. Using notes and loops from the original sound I have worked on a whole new mission here. It brings the sound back clearly when high energy dance music was taking over dance floors again.
