REISSUE: “Pilot Error” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Stephanie Mills

 


Stephanie Mills is a diva among discophiles. Her music has been an effect on the dance floor from start which creates a powerful and lasting dance experience. “Pilot Error” is her 1983 release from the album “Merciless” – produced by David Wolfert and Gary Klein. This funk-disco track is an outline of a relationship whose problems arise from the lack of experience in dealing with issues – as the song portrays a serious moment gone awry. The production is one that plays out well with the beats and bass as the song catapults into an emotional disaster – but the dance aura works in the opposite direction.

I have taken the 12” version of “Pilot Error” and remapped the track into a new trip for this ReStructure Mix. Pieces of the percussion are used in new ways and there are some trigger loops to make up some new breaks.

This ReStructure Mix is dedicated to Steven Greer – for his everlasting love for this great diva.
