ReStructure Mix Update (12/4/25): ”Dance, Freak and Boogie” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Nightlife Unlimited
Nightlife Unlimited is a Canadian disco project from Johnny Dorazio, Louis Toteda, Peter Sciascia and Tony Bentivegna. Released in 1979, which is the period where disco music peaked and many projects as such were a finale sound from the years of growth starting in the early 70s. “Dance, Freak and Boogie” is a track from the first album which is an anthem in the disco realm in outline of the excitement and dedication to those clamoring for that beat and the energy it creates. This piece features The Sweethearts of Sigma (Barbara Ingram, Carla Benson and Evette Benton) on vocals bringing the song to life as they have done throughout the mid-70s. More of the elements featuring percussion and electronic sequencers are the real stars as this one helps the mirror ball make its rotation throughout the night.
I have taken the album and 12” remix of “Dance, Freak and Boogie” and reassembled the rhythm segments into a new ReStructure Mix. The cowbells and bongos are used in pieces to give this new arrangement a new teasing attraction.

ReStructure Mix Update (11/25/25): ”Whispering Waves” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Donna Summer
Donna Summer released her first American album, “Love To Love You Baby” in 1975 - produced by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte. Following the success of the title track a demand for more of Donna’s early talent was in demand. “Whispering Waves” is from the B-side of the project and one of the ballads which play out like a lullaby and love song blended into one. Donna’s vocal range has always intrigued and hypnotized my mind and ears. A rare quality she possessed to take a range and follow it throughout the song and this haunting lovelorn ballad is one of them. The story is set and we are taken into a question of where love goes when it dissipates.
I have taken the album ballad version of “Whispering Waves” and added a slight rhythmic track to this story for this ReStructure Mix. A new outline for those who can’t get enough of Donna and her endless talents.

ReStructure Mix Update (11/24/25): ”Love On Your Side” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Thompson Twins
Thompson Twins are Alannah Currie, Chris Bell and Tom Bailey - a synth-pop band from the early 80s where a shift in dance music was making some incredible sounds. “Love On Your Side” comes from their 1983 project “Quick Step & Side Kick” - produced by Alex Sadkin. One of their notable singles which include a complete feel of the group's sound and at the peak - the best. Heavy percussion follows throughout the song which exudes a distant lover who always seems to make the best of a troubled relationship which is on the breaks. This one also has the early 80s sound which makes the dance scene more exciting and promising as dance floors demand a move onto new ideas and concepts.
I have taken the 12” vocal and dub version of “Love On Your Side” and readministered a new arrangement for this ReStructure Mix. Using a new foundation for the rhythm track and adding a few new breaks to the recipe.

ReStructure Mix Update (11/23/25): ”Do Me Good” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – USA European Connection
USA European Connection is a disco project created by Boris Midney. Heard as a compiled production of sounds and musical segments onto an audible canvas - titled “Art Disco” following his 1979 disco-fication of “Evita” with his ensemble called Festival. The approach is one which evokes a sense of imaginative scenes which eventually blend into one musical piece. The European edge is the mid-70s influence of “Euro-disco” where heavy symphonic strings are lush and in abundance. “Do Me Good” is from the second project from his group USA European Connection from 1979. It is a more mature dose of his use of strings, horns and the wispy electronic touches to take a classical sound into a space arena of the future. It touches more on a display on pulses and sounds as his first project “Come Into My Heart/Good Loving” was made as an outline and began the dance floors obsession with his artistry and audible magic.
I have taken the album version of “Do Me Good” and blended the parts of this movement into a new ReStructure Mix. Making use of rhythmic parts of the original arrangement and giving them more breathing space. A completely new trip.
