ReStructure Mix Update (9/26/25): ”Inside My Heat” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Lemon

Lemon is a disco group created by producer Kenny Lehman - who is also credited as arranger and a producer on the first Chic album titled “C’est Chic”. Lemon utilizes the vocal skills of Luther Vandross, David Lasley, Diva Gray and Gordon Grody to the top as this project gives variations of disco tracks. “Inside Of My Heart” brings a big band flair to the production as well as a silent movie edge with the percussion mimicking a Charlie Chaplin scene. The love song is also in the big band edge where a love song fights the feeling long enough where there is no turning away. The piece is one which has some of the ensemble's best harmonies and lead vocals crooning.

I have taken the album version of “Inside My Heart” and added some foundation to the production in this ReStructure Mix. A hard hitting house beat and snap are the pulling vibration from several new breaks and a new approach to a disco production from 1979.

ReStructure Mix Update (9/24/25): ”Stop Don’t Do this To Me” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Phyllis Nelson

ReStructure Mix Update (9/24/25): ”Stop Don’t Do this To Me” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Phyllis Nelson

Phyllis Nelson is a disco singer who had a huge dance floor hit with her 1980 song, “Don’t Stop The Train” - produced by Yves Dessca. Her project “Move Closer” from 1984 featured the track “Stop Don’t Do This To Me” and gave her another opportunity for a welcome on dance floors. A song about the damaging part of a relationship out in the open and a plea to make it easier to say goodbye. The production once again is Dessca and the intermediate rhythm tracks are interesting as both meet the pain and heartache to the hilt.

I have taken the 12” version of “Stop Don’t Do This To Me” into a new outline and execution for this ReStructure Mix. There are longer segments leading to each verse and a roaring chorus just before we get a break down for an exit.

ReStructure Mix Update (9/22/25): ”Where’d You Get What You Got” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Michele Freeman

ReStructure Mix Update (9/22/25): ”Where’d You Get What You Got” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Michele Freeman

Michele Freeman is a disco singer who released her self-titled project in 1979 - produced by Don Ray (“Got To Have Loving”, “Standing In The Rain”). This project is the disco definition of the spotlights and the mirror balls as they progressed to more, more, more. “Where’d You Get What You Got” is the second single from the project which holds interest to discophiles where Don Ray’s arrangement and production come into play. Michele’s frail voice becomes lost in the rolling bass and horns however the sensual delivery is just what the late 70s defined as a disco femme sound. The track has some interesting moments where the energy builds and gives Mr. Ray a spotlight one again.

I have taken the 12” version of “Where’d You Get What You Got” and redefined the edges of this piece for a ReStructure Mix. Using more of the sequencer as the foundation for this new recipe.

ReStructure Mix Update (9/20/25): ”Here’s To You” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Skyy

ReStructure Mix Update (9/20/25): ”Here’s To You” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Skyy

Skyy is a disco/funk band featuring Anibal "Butch" Sierra, Bonné Dunning Barrino, Bonny Dunning, Delores Dunning Milligan, Denise Dunning Crawford, Gerald Lebon, Larry Greenburg, Randy Muller, Solomon Roberts Jr., Tommy McConnell and Wayne Wilentz. Produced by Randy Muller who was also a member of soul/funk bands B.T. Express and Brass Construction. “Here’s To You” is from their 1980 project titled “Skyport”. A love song with all of the trimmings of the New York funk sound this band and a mellow approach at framing these words. Skyy is known for their grooves and this one follows in their genre. A nice sonnet with some delicious guitar accents.

I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental of “Here’s To You” and rewired their groove for another ReStructure Mix placement. The bass lines are used again in pieces to create new passages for this funk-funtastique treat.
