REISSUE: "Blow Up The D.J.” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – TNT Clan

TNT Clan is a new beat/Belgium Beat project from the masters of the genre – Herman Gillis, Jo Casters and Roland Beelen – better known as Morton Sherman Bellucci. This style of dance music rejuvenated the artistic and rhythmic edge of dance music and may have been inspired by “Pump Up The Volume” by M.A.R.R.S. from 1987. Many of the pieces that are a conglomerate of New Beat feature simple yet heavy bass beat riffs – disco, hip-hop, street, rock or house and transformed into a sample foundation for various hidden or strange messages. Many are sexual and are to the extreme of sampling porn film sounds or sexually suggestive phrases. The overhaul of the mixes are the success of New Beat as many were stripped down and EQ’ed with the sharp and deep recording that presented a polished product.

“Blow Up The D.J.” is one of my favorite tracks in the New Beat genre not only the usage of the classic disco track by Kiss (“I Was Made For Loving You”) but it also signifies the “Pump Up The Volume” influence. This ReStructure Mix is to pay homage to this style of dance music which I followed by ear with dedication but also found it as a rejuvenation of dance music in the late 80s and its influence during the early 90s dance scene.
