ReStructure Mix Update (5/21/24):”Everybody Dance” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Ta Mara and The Seen

Ta Mara and The Seen is a band compiled by Jesse Johnson (formerly of Prince’s sound Morris Day and The Time) whose sound pulls on the strings of the 80’s dance movement. Much of the instrumentation emulates that edge that Prince created in “Purple Rain” and is successful here. “Everybody Dance” is the single released in 1985 and worked its way onto playlists in clubs around the world giving Ta Mara and The Seen their time. The groove of this one has an infectious pulse as Ta Mara’s sweet yet driving vocal gives the directive of the dance floor. It is one of those unforgettable 80’s numbers thanks to the simple yet effective chorus.

I have taken the 12” version of “Everybody Dance” and moved the song into a slight skew for this ReStructure Mix. I have added a light beat and percussion to accompany the intro and worked a few new breaks and segue into this remix.
