ReStructure Mix Update (7/11/16) “Walking On Sunshine” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Rocker’s Revenge


ReStructure Mix Update (7/11/16) “Walking On Sunshine” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Rocker’s Revenge

Rocker’s Revenge is Donnie Calvin, Dwight Hawkes and Tina B – and another landmark piece from producer, Arthur Baker. The electro-beats masterpiece which shifted dance floors into another phase of 80s dance music. The 1978 track “Walking On Sunshine” by Eddy Grant is one of those underground dance records which give a unique edge to a disco and alternative programming. This cover, “Walking On Sunshine ‘82” is a marking point for the electronic genre – giving it the sub-title electro beats. The project features John “Jellybean” Benitez working on the finale mix along with Baker.

I have taken the 12” long version and the ‘rockin’’ version to recreate a new ReStructure Mix in honor of this single which opened my eyes and ears to the New York street beat sound exploding in the early 80s. A surprise from 1969 is planted within this new mix to give a strange mashup for this memorizing electronic play. It is truly one of the 80s dance floor hits to feel good about.
