"The Visitors" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Gino Soccio

• "The Visitors" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Gino Soccio

Gino Soccio has created an impact in music history - not only have his disco hits never strayed far from the minds of audiophiles, but the innovation of his music lives on. In 1979 "Outline" was Soccio's first solo release - not only are "Dancer" and "Dance To Dance" dance gems. "The Visitors" was a track on the LP which was taken and released with a 12" remix with both English and French vocal and a electronic show that still moves like magic.

In taking this cut and attempting to reshape it into a ReStructure Mix I looked carefully at the eerie feel this song has along with the masterful keyboards and sequencers. I believe the mix is more of a headphone and kick back experience - intended to take you where eyes look down on our planet and wonder when the right time is.

Dedicated to VJC, DJ Joey Luciano, Gary from Saint Paul and Rene S. - who keep the mystique of disco music alive.

"You + Me" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - The Undisputed Truth

• "You + Me" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - The Undisputed Truth

Taka Boom (Chaka Khan little sister) joined The Undisputed Truth in 1976 and with Norman Whitfield producing, arranging and engineering helped to make the LP "Method To The Madness" an incredible feat.

"You + Me" is the track that hit disco floors and made funk as danceable as ever. The track is now considered one classic among hardcore funk and disco addicts. Taka Boom's vocals are like an alarm clock after a long night of dancing.

I ReStructured the track to split the synthesizer riff into a new beat and mixed up a few of the movements to create a whole new piece of dance track. Enjoy!

"Do Or Die" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Grace Jones

• "Do Or Die" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Grace Jones

Grace Jones! Grace Jones! Grace Jones!
She has made us all "slaves to the rhythm" - her first single in 1975, "I Need A Man" introduced to discotheque a style and sound that has since survived through 2 generations and continues on.

"Do Or Die" is a classic disco track that will surprise many on how wonderful the rhythm and arrangement still works. Produced by the master, Mr. Tom Moulton this track, as well as the LP are perfection.

Grace will be here to remind of us how "chic" and unique disco music really is.

This ReStructure Mix is a birthday present for Loulou of The Netherlands - HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOULOU! This "Grace" is for you.

"Let The Music Play" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Shannon

• "Let The Music Play" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Shannon

Brenda "Shannon" Greene along with producers, Chris Barbosa, Mark Liggett and Rod Hui created a sound for the early 80's that again created excitement on dance floors everywhere. The release of "Let The Music Play" in 1983 made the street beat of New York a sensation.

The track is now considered an old school classic - helping to bridge the gap between disco music and street beat dance.

This ReStructure is a loop fantasy of original beat sections and a barrage of new breaks and vocals breakdowns!

Let it play!

"The Ultimate Warlord" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Little Casper and The MX's

• "The Ultimate Warlord" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Little Casper and The MX's

"The Ultimate Warlord" seems like a staple from the early 80's dance era. In 1981 it was recorded by The Immortals (Produced by Willi Morrison and Ian Guenther / THP Productions). The same year it was released on JDC Records and recorded by Little Casper and The MX's. Both versions were electronic tracks and bring to mind the keyboard wizardry that was created for disco by Giorgio Moroder in the mid and late 70's.

This ReStructure Mix of "The Ultimate Warlord" was requested by Rene S. in The Netherlands - he preferred the JDC release. This is an alternative mix with more of an outline on the imaginary implications of this creature.

Dedicated to Rene and a special thanks to all of his support.

"Bad Bad Boy" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Theo Vaness

• "Bad Bad Boy" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Theo Vaness

Theo Vaness became one of disco most distinctive male voices once he recorded "Back To Music" in 1977. Under the production and creativity of Michaele, Lana Sebastian and Paul Sebastian an innovative Euro-disco style was formulated.

"Bad Bad Boy" was his follow up LP in 1979 and featured dance floor classics, "Sentimentally It's You", "As Long As It's Love" and "No Romance/Keep On Dancin'" - a well noted project.

I have taken "Bad Bad Boy" and ReStructured it with looping the synthesizers and adding a new peculating electronic track to enhance it. This song is definite favorite of mine.

Dedicated to Joey L. of NYC and also Theo Vaness

"Lady America" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Voyage

• "Lady America" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Voyage

Voyage represented a time when disco music was free and adventurous. Many who were fortunate enough to experience "From East To West" or "Souvenirs" on a dance floor recall the unity and energy it created. It was sheer magic.

"Lady America" is the close of the first LP titled "Voyage" - where we are taken from The Orient to Latin Vibes and then home. The album concept by Roger Tokarz along with Marc Chantereau, Pierre Alain Dahan and Slim Pezin were movements from various flavors of music from cultures and places.

This ReStructure was a touching one - "Lady America" - as a child I learned so much about America and how living here was privilege for me. Now in times where hope is needed, I dedicate this track to "America". I have faith that unity will bring this growing place of cultures together to succeed! It is not a dream - it can be reality - we are growing.

• "Rumor Has It" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Donna Summer

Donna Summer again is spotlighted in this ReStructure Mix and from "Once Upon A Time" comes the "Rumor Has It" -

"Muh-muh-mah" blend.

Don't ask me what that means - this just popped into my head and had to do it.

Thanks to Lady Gaga for the "Muh-muh-mah"!

"Weekend" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Phreek

• "Weekend" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Phreek

Patrick Adams is one of the great masterminds of disco music. His productions always enveloped the sound of dancers everywhere.

"Weekend" is from a project Adams produced in 1978 - it has become the club anthem started directly from Paradise Garage with deejays like Larry Levan. The track was sang by Christine Wiltshire and backup included Jocelyn Brown. It is a classic and will always remain a favorite among disco connoisseurs.

This ReStructure Mix takes the track a bit deeper with new beats and a few added effects. A mindful mix that I had allot of fun with!

"Fire Island" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Dante's Inferno

• "Fire Island" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Dante's Inferno

Harold Wheeler (Nina Simone, Consumer Rapport, Camouflage, Wing and A Prayer) and Ron Dante (The Archie's, Barry Manilow, Irene Cara) produced Dante's Inferno - a studio group in 1979. The LP featured a few cuts that became popular at the close of the disco era.

Dante being the vocalist for The Archie's ("Sugar, Sugar") and having many past products with successful artists gave him whirl at a disco album. His vocals in "Fire Island" are quite memorable and create a nice feel for the album.

I have taken "Fire Island" and extended the intro with more of a Latin flair injected. The song should bring back a memory or two with disco die-hards.
