ReStructure Mix Update (8/18/25): ”Cry” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Godney and Creme

Godley and Creme are Kevin Godley and Lol Creme - both former band members from the group 10cc. In 1977 they began recording under their new title and their 1985 single “Cry” became one of their most memorable tracks. The moody song is the peak of heart break and the consequences which follow. It was written by the duo and performed in a classic arrangement which seems to echo the pain of a relationship ending and all elements dissected. One of the big after hours tracks for me in the remix which was released and produced by Trevor Horn (Art Of Noise).

I have taken the 12” remix of “Cry” and rearranged it for this new ReStructure Mix. There is a lengthy introduction to bring in the beats earlier and more predominant.

ReStructure Mix Update (8/16/25): ”Diamonds” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Herb Alpert and Janet Jackson

ReStructure Mix Update (8/16/25): ”Diamonds” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Herb Alpert and Janet Jackson

Herb Alpert takes on the pop-dance world in his 1987 project “Keep Your Eye On Me” and along with Janet Jackson and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis is “Diamonds”. This hard beat flowing number is one of the exciting tracks from this year. Janet along with Lisa Keith provide the stance for ladies to demand the shine up front. There is a great polish to the song which gives Herb an opportunity to play along with his trumpet accenting the groove in and out of its peak. One of the Jam/Lewis “diamonds” and a continuance of Janet’s solo career to make herself stand out and over the pop -world.

I have taken the 12” vocal, dub and instrumental of “Diamonds” and reshined the track for this ReStructure Mix. Taking an original stage version of “Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend” in the arena for some fun and a new structure.

ReStructure Mix Update (8/15/25): ”Walking In The Night” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Giusy Dej

Giusy Dej (Giuseppina De Iacovo) is a Italo-disco project from 1984 and is one of the electronic productions which takes the sequencer patterns into a new realm. “Walking In The Night” is an artsy electro-vibe track which began as a street beat outline along with the accompaniment of Giusy short explanation of relationship troubles. The remix by Flemming Dalum creates a hardcore instrumental which would shake the rafters of any club in its execution. One of the Italo-disco pieces which may have been overlooked however disco audiophiles who search for that Moroder-like influence may have taken this one under their arms as a treasure.

I have taken the 12” original mix and remix of “Walking In The Night” and worked on this ReStructure Mix. The layering of pieces in each version creates a new place for this wandering piece. A touch of that street beat influence are the finale touches to embellish in the original.

ReStructure Mix Update (8/14/25): ”Rainbows” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Jade 4U

Jade 4U is a new beat project from producer Maurice Joseph Francois Engelen and features artist Nikkie Van Lierop. Their 1988 project “Jade’s Dream” which features new material following her successful singles released in New Beat compilations. “Rainbows” is a moody track which plays out with hardcore percussion pounding out a ritual for Jade 4U’s passages. Resembling an early morning song in the wind down or morning peak set this one has several identities in this genre. The hypnotic feel is the real magnetic force behind this release and leaves a nice trail for Jade to follow.

I have taken the 12” version and instrumental of “Rainbows” to outline a new waking sound for this ReStructure Mix. Most of the effects are pieces of the vocal track or pieces of bass track to add a new arrangement to this mini-anthem.

ReStructure Mix Update (8/12/25): ”One Night In Bangkok” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Murray Head

ReStructure Mix Update (8/12/25): ”One Night In Bangkok” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Murray Head

Murray Head is an English actor and singer who took part in the production of “Chess” - a stage production with music written and produced by ABBA’s Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. “One Night In Bangkok” is a single from the soundtrack and was released in 1984. This outline details the underground city which offers many choices in either dark or fulfilling areas. The track became an instant hit on dance floors and also thanks to the creative video. Bass sequencers help plug the rap-like approach to vocals here and make this one a unique take on a theme which is among the “purest”.

I have taken the 12” version of “One Night In Bangkok” and reworked the track for this new ReStructure Mix. I have broadened the mix to incorporate more of the instrumental pieces and bass sequencers to guide it into a new realm.

ReStructure Mix Update (8/10/25): ”Killer Machine” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Laser Cowboys

Laser Cowboys are an Italo-disco band who released four movements related to futuristic and or science fiction themes. “Killer Machine” is their 1986 release produced by Mach II and Laue. This one loosely based on the film “The Terminator” and is the outline for a group of warriors (The Laser Cowboys) sent to save the planet Earth from “Killer Machines”. The arrangement is in their electronic layering of effects and keyboard segments and with the excitement of a sci-fi epic onscreen. This one plays out with more of the firearm sound effects joining the vocoder chorus giving us the challenge building on our planet. One of the imaginative periods of Italo-disco and bringing a serial-like episode to life for us to dance to.

I have taken the 12” version of “Killer Machine” and enforced the battle again in this ReStructure Mix. I have added a futuristic computerized beat-thump which may sound familiar and also taking the segues into the mix fully placed.

ReStructure Mix Update (8/8/25): ”L’Amour Toujours” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Telex

ReStructure Mix Update (8/8/25): ”L’Amour Toujours” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Telex

Telex is Dan Lacksman, Marc Moulin and Michel Moers. A trio which created and programmed an alternative electronic dance sound that became popular in the early 80s with the new-wave era. “L’Amour Toujours” is from their 1984 project titled “Wonderful World”. It is the outline of their on-spot technical arena where the pulses of sound create rhythm and futuristic arrangements. “L’Amour Toujours” is a love song which is based on the time of now where love matters most. The original album version is a more melodic arrangement and soon after a remix featuring a more pulsating and jittery feel. The sound of Telex is emerging from this track and is one of my many favorites from this ensemble.

I have taken the album version and the 12” remix of “L’Amour Toujours” and worked them into a new suite for this ReStructure Mix. There are pieces of both versions in segments of the new arrangement and a few new breaks.

ReStructure Mix Update (8/7/25): ”With Or Without You” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Paul Parker

Paul Parker is a leading man when you venture into disco music. His music has made bold statements about his voice and stance. In 1995 he released a Euro-house cover of U2’s 1987 track, “With Or Without You” from their “The Joshua Tree” project. Produced by Passion Records’ high energy producer Ian Anthony Stephens with a nice resonance to the dance floor and keeping the flow of the original. One of the beautiful vocals again from Paul who maintains his power throughout the dance transfer. A low thumping bass pumps the climatic arrangement to a satisfying and a stirring breakdown in the high-energy tradition.

I have taken the 12” version of Paul Parker’s cover of “With Or Without You” and have laid out a new intro and spot edits in this ReStructure Mix. The vocals are utilized throughout the new remix to accentuate the haunting feel of the song and a play on loops are the essence of this remix.

ReStructure Mix Update (8/6/25): ”Anyway You Want It – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Trax

Trax is Pete Bellotte (Donna Summer, Joy Fleming, Munich Machine, Giorgio Moroder) and Keith Forsey ( Billy Idol, Gen X, Icehouse) - a duo who have worked with the many disco groups and vocalists from the Munich recording sector. Trax is their project which they released two albums - their first titled “Watch Out For The Boogie Man” from 1977. “Anyway You Want It” is a single from this project and has the instrumental quality with a catchy vocal riff that marks it for the dance floor during the period. Arranged by Thor Baldersson and engineered by Jurgen Koppers. A funky piece of 70’s disco edge.

I have taken the album version of “Anyway You Want It” and re-funked the arrangement into a new ReStructure Mix. Taking the keyboards elements that ignite this energy and a few new drum and percussion elements to capture the mood.

ReStructure Mix Update (8/5/25): ”Queen Of China-Town” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Amanda Lear

Amanda Lear is a disco artist with mystery and intrigue. Her music reflects a performance that is always teasing and provoking. “Queen Of China-Town” is a single from 1977 - produced by Anthony Monn (Magnifique, Judy Cheeks, ORS). Another one of Amanda’s mystical adventures and this one points to the underground world in Shanghai and their leader. The piece makes light of the relief from your worries and pain taking you into a den of temporary fixes. This one has the chorus hook which made it the underground favorite that it is. The influence of the Asian riffs are nice streamers for this alternative party.

I have taken the 12” version of “Queen Of China-Town” and reworked the mystery into a new ReStructure Mix. I have taken a few pieces of traditional Chinese musical segments and added them for a new path and also worked a couple of breaks in to give this classic a new face.

ReStructure Mix Update (8/2/25): ”Fever” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Isaac Hayes

ReStructure Mix Update (8/2/25): ”Fever” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Isaac Hayes

Isaac Hayes is best known for his 70’s soul classic “Theme from Shaft” from 1971 where he transformed the wah-wah guitar to a standard. His 1979 project during the height of the disco period was his project “Don’t Let Go” where the title track became a disco classic. The project also included his disco cover of the standard “Fever” by Little Willie John from 1958 which became a vehicle for many artists since. Isaac takes the song into his own disco realm and creates several riffs which work this cover including a guitar lick which outlines a cross between funk and disco. The background ensemble rips into this cover with a flare that is definitive. This is another great take on the classic for dance floors with the mirror ball accenting the energy.

I have taken the album version of Isaac Hayes’ “Fever” and re-heated the vital pieces for this ReStructure Mix. Using the guitars for a new source of segues for this new take on Hayes’ formula.
