ReStructure Mix Update (8/12/23): “Come To The Rainbow” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Rainbow Team


ReStructure Mix Update (8/12/23): “Come To The Rainbow” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Rainbow Team

Rainbow Team is an Italian disco/funk band created by Luciana Cirrillo and Michele Violante. Their first release was a single titled “Come To The Rainbow” from 1979 and was produced by Maurice Cavalieri and Tommy Cavalieri. The angle of this track is a jazz feel with the horns dominating the build into a simple chorus which defines the dance floor as a “rainbow”. It is one of the singles of its time from Italy which received an honorable praise for it use of a breakdown mix which incorporates the disco sound of the 70’s. The energy level here resides around a more funk edge with lots of percussion bring the rhythm into dance perspective.

I have taken the 12” version of “Come To The Rainbow” and recreated a new ReStructure Mix for a tribute to the early era of Italo-disco. The funk breakdown is taken into more areas of this arrangement and an emphasis on capturing that mellow feel among the original.
