ReStructure Mix Update (4/30/22): “Dirty Cash” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – The Adventures of Stevie V.
ReStructure Mix Update (4/30/22): “Dirty Cash” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – The Adventures of Stevie V.
“Dirty Cash” is one of the deep-house / hip hop tracks of the early 90’s which rings over and over the social messages with groups like Snap! ventured in to. Stevie V. is like a mini series of dance segments all bringing forth the supposed answer to all happiness. This one has memorable hooks and a dive into the deep bass house edge with a tribal foundation. “Dirty Cash” brought into the 90’s all of the promise of 80’s from the dance floor and help to keep it hardcore. Produced by Stevie V. and featured vocal by Kevin Dozier.
I have taken the 12” vocal, sax and instrumental of “Dirty Cash” and made this reality show a new ReStructure Mix. All of the original elements are used in loops and overdubs to create the same energy with a new need for that “green”.

ReStructure Mix Update (4/30/22): “Motion” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Deodato
ReStructure Mix Update (4/30/22): “Motion” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Deodato
Eumir Deodato is best heard with his productions of Kool and The Gang (“Ladies Night”, “Celebration”) and his own work as, “Knights Of Fantasy”. His work also includes his early work with jazz and film scores. “Motion” is from his 1984 project by the same title where he finds himself outlining the celebration of the movement which creates human satisfaction. This hard hitting piece contains vocoders and key strikes that empathize more than you can use on one dance floor. It is a celebration of sound and dance and so close to the edge that you may have to hold on.
I have taken the album version of “Motion” and re-vitalized the rhythm tracks into a new “motion” with some help from Boris Midney. There are some new drum fills to make the floor shake even more with this one is planted.

ReStructure Mix Update (4/29/22): “You Are My Desire” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Shy Rose
Shy Rose is an Italo-dance project from producer, Antonio d’Addezio and is one of the sweetest dance sounds from a female artist. Valeria is her real name and the delivery she brings to this high-energy and lovely dance notations are lilting and resonant. “You Are My Desire” is her 1989 release and plays out with a piano crescendo and percussion driven foundation where a romantic feel is startlingly wonderful. Her first release titled “I Cry For You” from 1987 is the start of this wonderful artists high energy love songs and this track is quite a finish.
I have taken the 12” version of “You Are My Desire” and relit the candles of a romantic dinner for lovers in this ReStructure Mix. An intro with the piano concerto brings us into a bongo fritz to move to with my new infusion.

ReStructure Mix Update (4/29/22): “I Feel Love” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Fax Yourself
Fax Yourself is a Belgium New Beat project from producers, Fabian Van Messen, Jack Mauer and Marc Meuttiens. Their single from 1989 contained two covers – Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love” and Rocker’s Revenge’s “Walking On Sunshine”. The focus of this ReStructure Mix is “I Feel Love” which is presented here is a thumping bass beat format close to the New Beat solution that took over in the mid and late-80s. Vocals are provided by Carrie Ann and play out in a sensual nature once again minus Donna’s range and power. It works closely with the scaled down production and is satisfying for another “twerk” of this disco classic.
I have taken the 12” cover of “I Feel Love” by Fax Yourself and went free-range on the beats and sampled effects. The new arrangement contains a lengthy and more continual vocal segment and still breaks along the way to make this classic remain just what it is.

ReStructure Mix Update (4/28/22): “I’ll Be All You Ever Need” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Trinere
Trinere (Trinere Veronica Farrington) is one of the early Miami freestyle tracks to slam the dance floor with beats in 1986. “I’ll Be All You Ever Need” is a love song with a street edge and the resonance of innovative projects from the past like Kraftwerk and early rap-music beat box. Produced by Pretty Tony for the Jam Packed Record label this one pounds into our feet what Trinere is allowing her lover to know. Hard hitting and makes the floor move on its own. A new dance arena for the sound of Miami’s new iconic sound.
I have taken the 12” club mix and instrumental of “I’ll Be All You Ever Need” and added a new intro which starts with a few mild hints and then slams you into the wall. The beats have always made this one worthwhile and everlasting and now it is time to prove it.
ReStructure Mix Update (4/28/22): “Magic” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Brian Soares
ReStructure Mix Update (4/28/22): “Magic” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Brian Soares
Brian Soares is one of the San Francisco artists whom helped to make the 80’s a continual dance celebration. His work included endeavors with David Diebold and also the big dance floor hit, “Dancing In My Sleep” by Secret Ties. “Magic” is one of his memorable dance tracks where he takes the love song from the film, “Xanadu” (originally performed by Olivia Newton-John) and transforms it wonderfully into a male lead dance anthem. An exciting moment for its release in 1985 as it did not seem possible for this to be done by a male artist. Dance floors worked their bones to this one as the excitement was also bound to the fast moving high energy groove.
I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental of Brian Soares’ “Magic” and waved a ReStructure Mix wand over this magnificent cover. There is a longer into with play on the keyboards and sequencers and a lasting fade for the magic to dissipate.

ReStructure Mix Update (4/27/22): “High Energy / Reach Out, I’ll Be There” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Sandy Linton
Sandy Linton is a disco project from the mid-80s produced by Ronald Thorpe. This medley takes Evelyn Thomas’ big dance floor hit “High Energy” and combines it with Four Tops’ soul classic “Reach Out, I’ll Be There”. The electronic arrangement spikes a whole new feel for the blend of the two tracks and gives new energy to the iconic “high energy” anthem also.
I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental into a new ReStructure Mix and blended the pieces of both to maintain a new level of energy. There is a new drum track to pace out the excitement and a longer segues for both songs.

ReStructure Mix Update (4/27/22): “It’s You” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Lime
Lime is the duo Denis Lepage and Denyse Lepage – the pair which set the 80’s into motion with their high energy sound and unique style. “It’s You” comes from their first project from 1981 titled “You Love” and is one of the love songs which made Lime so memorable with their infectious drum and percussion and unforgettable hooks. This one plays out with much loving gratitude to one who makes life worth living – the lover. It moves fast and with vocals of Denyse Lepage leading the melodic track in her own way. This one is classic Lime as it takes us back to where we all came from.
I have taken the album version of “It’s You” and worked in on its own merit in this ReStructure Mix. Using the drum rolls and breaks in another outline for a new challenge for your feet.

ReStructure Mix Update (4/26/22): “Sweet Drums” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Cerrone
Cerrone is a top icon in disco/dance music history. His influence has created many successful projects for others who have followed his work and also interpreted it in a new way. “Supernature” project from 1977 is the disco pillar which utilized rhythms and innovative electronics. The movement here is “Sweet Drums” which closes the side A of Cerrone’ s masterpiece.
I have taken the album segment of “Sweet Drums” and transformed it into a layer for Cerrone’s past disco-wanderlust. Pieces of his work are used in and over during this ReStructure Mix to pay homage to this talented man.

ReStructure Mix Update (4/26/22): “You Can’t Run From My Love” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Stephanie Mills
Stephanie Mills is a r&b/soul vocalist from Brooklyn, New York and made her big introduction in the Broadway production of “The Wiz”. Her debut in the disco arena was a welcomed one and several big dance hits ensued including “Put Body In It” and “You Can Get Over” in 1979. Her 1982 project titled, “Tantalizing Hot” made another mark with her dance floor hit titled “You Can’t Run From My Love” – produced by James Mtume and Reggie Lucas. This statement is one of the tracks again from Stephanie which allow us to hear her voice as intended – strong and certain. A big dance floor hit for my club and one which helped to ignite more fire for her later in the 80’s.
I have taken the 12” remix of “You Can’t Run From My Love” and worked another ReStructure Mix out of it. There is a slight percussion accompaniment and also more of what this piece delivered originally – funk and movement.

ReStructure Mix Update (4/25/22): “Get The Look” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – New Paradise
New Paradise is a French disco project from producer, Leo Carrier and features an ensemble of driving vocals guiding the energy of their dance numbers. “Get The Look” is a 1981 single from their self-titled album and is one of the fast moving electronic tracks with several great hooks. The sequencers are loaded for play from the start to finish. The girls are shouting about a fashion statement that obviously is being made on dance floors and making them excitement with every minute. This one was always a favorite of my clubs with its wild guitar cha-cha break and then the chorus exploding over and over.
I have taken the album version of “Get The Look” and redirected this energy into a new ReStructure Mix. The movement is still quick and the pace if fast with some new drum tracks and percussion to make the trip an whole new experience.

ReStructure Mix Update (4/25/22): “She’s A Star” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Kano
Kano began as one of the innovative groups of the early 80’s with their big dance floor classic “I’m Ready” from 1980. The project is Luciano Ninzatti, Matteo Bonsanto and Stefano Pulga – who were joined on the second album, “New York Cake” with vocalist, Glen White. “She’s A Star” is a single from this 1981 project and is a lighter play of Kano’s initial hardcore/underground approach. The piece is still exciting and has some nice keyboard elements and lure on this mystery lady who makes the night stand still when she is a part of it.
I have taken the album version of “She’ A Star” and translated the energy in a new way to this ReStructure Mix. The new percussion and drum tracks give the song more of a disco pulsating sound and make the energy more evident.

ReStructure Mix Update (4/24/22): “Cecilia” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Mike Mareen
Mike Mareen (Uwe-Michael Wischhof) is a high energy project which helped to shape high energy music from the roots of electronic disco. His big hit “Dancing In The Dark” from 1984 is very much an influence from the synthesizers and approach of Giorgio Moroder from the mid and late 70’s. Mareen used a light edge of wizardry and also a proclaimed “Power Play” which defined his high energy sound. “Cecilia” is Mike Mareen’s cover of the Simon & Garfunkel 1970 pop-hit in a hardcore electronic package. The flow of the song is sweeping and uses Mareen’s edits and drops to entertain the dance floor. It is a sweet remake since the original song is infectious and quite moving.
I have taken the 12” version of Mike Mareen’s “Cecilia” and reedited the segments of rolling bass and sequencers into a new ReStructure Mix. This one plays out with more segues and breaks so that one can feel the energy that was released on dance floors with this style of dance music.
ReStructure Mix Update (4/24/22): “Don’t Leave Me This Way” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Slip
ReStructure Mix Update (4/24/22): “Don’t Leave Me This Way” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Slip
Slip is a Euro-disco project from producer, Manfred-Alois Segith – who also gave us Fancy and many Euro-disco/dance projects by various artists. Slip is one of early 80’s sessions which began with a cover of the Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes/Thelma Houston disco classic, “Don’t Leave Me This Way”. This electronic piece is a production which takes the vocals into a dreamy and sexy wonderland with a Marilyn Monroe feel. The chorus builds unlike the original soulful versions are campy and sweet – the underground disco way. A nice take on a disco classic and a new twist on the heartbreak in the femme fetale arena.
I have taken the 12” version of Fancy’s “Don’t Leave Me This Way” and played out this sexy drama in a new way. This ReStructure Mix utilizes the syn-drum breaks in parts of the track where e definite energy is new and surprising.

ReStructure Mix Update (4/22/22): “Dr. Doo-Dah” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Kongas
Kongas is a band who is assisted by Cerrone and Don Ray in the mid-70’s and created a full pledged disco project. Their 1977 project “Africanism” is one of the gems of its time. Featuring Sue Glover, Kay Garner and Joanne Stone on vocals with “Dr. Doo-Dah” – a Cerrone masterpiece of percussion and fantasy that he enveloped in his own music and throughout this time period. This track is one that brings to mind a relaxing beach and waves breaking on the shore with are aviary backdrop and the Calypso percussion. A great dance song and also one which brings out the disco in the most.
I have taken the album version of “Dr. Doo-Dah” and lighted the edge with more beat and drums to enter the garden. The pieces of percussion and chorus are mixed into a new ReStructure Mix and play out again with that charm and appeal for dancing.

ReStructure Mix Update (4/21/22): “Las Colinas De Katmandu” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Tantra
Tantra is one of the most intense disco tracks in all of dance music history. The “journey” in fact the genius of arranger/producer Celso Valli who worked with producer La Drogueria Di Drugolo. “Las Colinas De Katmandu” is a released version of the huge club hit “Hills Of Katmandu” from 1979 and is one of the forerunners of Italian produced disco music. The track has always been hailed as an innovative production and used over and over in many programs to give that high energy, yet mystic feel of music. A great history and also still a great song – in English or Spanish.
I have taken the 12” version of “Las Colinas De Katmandu” and decided to enter and approach this experience in a new way. The ReStructure Mix follows many of the tools that I utilize in my play and often you may find that you are lost if you expect the original order.
