ReStructure Mix Update (7/17/22): “Crank It Up” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Joyride

Joyride is a high energy project from producers Rory Slater and Hugh Cooper during the late 80’s. This track is a cover of the Peter Brown disco classic “Crank It Up (Funk Town)” from 1979 – one of the anthems which helped to bring the disco era to an appropriate close. This electronic production is a flowing version which utilizes vocals from George St. Kitts which work well in the new arrangement. This number has been transformed into a disco sequencer edge with the song following closely. It is one of the nice covers of disco classics where a whole new dosage of sounds and energy make it new and complete.

I have taken the 12” versions of Joyride’s “Crank It Up” and moved into the new rolling funk for this ReStructure Mix. Using elements of the track I have also created some new breaks and drop-outs.
