ReStructure Mix Update (1/23/21) “Born To Be Alive” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Disco Connection

Disco Connection is Eddie De Gucht – producer of electronic covers of disco classics. His work from the early 80’s was exciting to disco audiophiles like myself who found a new version of a disco standard refreshing. At the end of the disco era much of the hardcore dance music was produced and released in the UK, Germany and Italy. Many of the contenders were new fusions of dance music which centered on the fact the world had not finished dancing yet. Disco Connection takes the 1979 Patrick Hernandez disco classic into the reprise mode with a full on electronic stripped down arrangement. The melody plays the identifier and only the rolling sequencers formulating the energy. Another release by this studio project emerged including a cover of George McCrae’s “Rock Your Baby”. The classic disco sound was being electrified and kept alive for those who could not get enough.

I have taken the 12” versions of Disco Connection’s “Born To Be Alive” and used the segments that make up the original tribute and some of the new interludes for this ReStructure Mix. This plays out more like an addition to the original with a few chorus pieces and new added percussion and beats.
