ReStructure Mix Update (10/29/24):”Jeopardy” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Greg Kihn Band


ReStructure Mix Update (10/29/24):”Jeopardy” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Greg Kihn Band

Greg Kihn Band is a 70’s group whose 1983 track “Jeopardy” gave them a #2 spots on the Billboard 100 chart. The song is a funky groove with the band feeding into the possibility of an affair about to end. An 80’s feel all together in the powerful crossover feel of rhythm guitars and igniting choruses. The fantastic approach at the dance market was a huge movement from many rock and pop groups and the outcome in the best is a single like this. 

I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental of “Jeopardy” and reframed the song for this ReStructure Mix. A new layout for the foundation with more of the electronics leading the path into the ill-begotten theme.

ReStructure Mix Update (10/25/24):”Bula Bula” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Praga Khan


Praga Khan is Maurice Joseph Francois Engelen - a Belgium producer who worked on several New Beat projects during the late 80’s and early 90’s. Some of his most memorable were Lords Of Acid and Jade 4 U - it was a new style of music created with the heavy electronic feel dominating the arrangements. “Bula Bula” is a 1989 single with a house touch used among the samples of the rock n’ roll classic “Wully Bully” by Sam and The Sham which was released in 1964 and also percussion pieces from Issac Hayes “Theme from Shaft” from 1971. The outrageous bass elements bounce back and forth like a beach ball creating a rhythmic edge for this piece. It is one of the early New Beat/Belgium tracks which helped to make the genre one of the successful alternative dance sounds of the period.

I have taken the 12” version of “Bula Bula” and reconfigured the theme into a new ReStructure Mix along with more of the original samples. There are breakdowns of the original keyboards in pieces to give way to a whole new experience.
