REISSUE: "Shoot Your Shot” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Divine





REISSUE: "Shoot Your Shot” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Divine Divine is a disco “must”. His persona is what cult disco is all about. A combination of camp, glitter, outrageousness and fabulous beats make these recordings a classic piece of disco history. Producer Bobby Orlando painted a raw and edgy backdrop for Divine and let the glam go. “Native Love (Step By Step)” from 1982 is the first single I can remember hearing for the first time and never let go of this sound. It was the start of high energy and a hold on the disco sound. “Shoot Your Shot” is more like the dreamy feel of disco with the 2 elements – drums and synthesizer – like fire and water. I have taken the 12” version of “Shoot Your Shot” and recreated a ReStructure Mix that plays out like a Saturday night dance floor sweat competition. I have taken more of the recognizable pieces and parts and resembled it with a focus on the energy and mood. This one loops and phases its way into the peak hour.
