Vivabeat is Alec Murphy, Chris Schendel, Consuelo de Silva, Doug Orilio, Marina Del Rey, Mick Muhlfriedel, Rob Dean and Terrance Robay – an electronic new wave dance band from 1980. Their single “Man From China” from their project titled “Party In The War Zone” is a single which stood out during its release in 1979. A segue to a rock edge with new wave fusion began a whole new era of dance music. “Man From China” was always perplexing piece for me as the hardcore sequencers and drum beats make up a new feel for its time. The vocals are a raw and raspy male vocal who announces the theme in a rock-a-billy delivery and edge. It is a great crossover dance track which leads the way before its time.
I have taken the 12” version of “Man From China” and worked the elements which stand out most for this ReStructure Mix. A new stomping foundation is added to give those sequencers a run for their money. There are also a few new breaks along the way.
