ReStructure Mix Update (8/28/23): “Paradise” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Dance Department

Dance Department is a German disco project from producer/writer/arranger Andreas Drewling. “Paradise” is the single released in 1986 and is in the Euro-disco flavor with keyboards pointing to the message at hand. One of the downbeat tracks which pounding the groove using the formula created by Bobby Orlando in the early 80’s. The vocals are a bit of Modern Talking with more of an edge and not so much harmony - however with the aggressive downbeat they are appropriate. Synth-pop had emerged several periods during the 80’s dance movement and this may have been the finale execution with a bit to spare. A nice dance number and easy to understand how it fits perfectly on the ZYX label.

I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental of “Paradise” and re-worked the energy again for this ReStructure Mix. Another edit piece in which I use the segments of vocals and keyboards which best describes the meaning of “paradise” on the dance floor.
