ReStructure Mix Update (11/12/26): “Um Maraha Raha" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Orchestra 45

Orchestra 45 is Eddie Arroyo, George Anthony Mauro and Gus Rodriguez - who explore the house music genre with a touch of mystique. There are vocal rap segments which make up the identity of each track including their 1990 single “Um Maraha Raha” - produced by George Anthony Mauro. This rhythmic number is a bass delicacy with a few riffs which give it a Euro-dance flavor which took its root from around this period. One of the identifiable tracks of the time which stand out thanks to the infectious chorus which translates from Arabic or Swahili roots - "Umm" means "mother of," "Maraha" means "joy" or "cheerfulness", and "Raha" means "comfort," "rest," or "peace". Put together, it can loosely translate to "mother of joy and comfort". A nice production focusing on the rhythmic qualities as well as the house bass and drums of the late 80s.

I have taken the 12” versions of “Um Maraha Raha” and blended them into a new ReStructure Mix. I have laid out the foundation with more of the bass instrumentals as some play with the key board riffs.

ReStructure Mix Update (11/9/26): “Where Do You Go" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – No Mercy/La Bouche

ReStructure Mix Update (11/9/26): “Where Do You Go" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – No Mercy/La Bouche

Producer Frank Farian produced La Bouche with Melanie Thornton and Kayo Shekoni in 1995 with their first project titled “Sweet Dreams” which contained the song “Where Do You Go” - an emotional piece where a lover begs to find out what they are up against in a troubled relationship. The production was in the Euro-disco style where light techno and house elements are fused for an uplifting celebratory sound. In 1996 Farian introduced his new band titled No Mercy with Ariel Hernandez, Gabriel Hernandez and Marty Cintron III. This band created their own take on the song with a Spanish flair assisting the rhythm and energy. Both productions shine in their own performance where no excitement is left out.

I have taken both versions of “Where Do You Go” from La Bouche and No Mercy and blended both into a new ReStructure Mix. I have split this new arrangement with pieces of both tracks adding a new intro and fading to a still question.

Thank you again, Michael Zamora for requesting an alternative version of this number - this is for your Michael.

ReStructure Mix Update (11/6/26): “Just For One Night" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Madleen Kane

ReStructure Mix Update (11/6/26): “Just For One Night" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Madleen Kane

Madleen Kane is the statuesque figure of disco music. Throughout the seventies her first album “Rough Diamond” lured couples to the dance floor and brought new desirous individuals together with the energy of romance and love floating out of her music. Disco music with its thumping heavy beat has always been sexy and this is a match made for it. “Just For One Night” comes from Madleen’s 1985 project “Cover Girl” - produced by high-energy enthusiast Ian Anthony Stephens along with singer Paul Parker writing a few of Madleen’s sexy numbers. “Just For One Night” grabs the synth-pop edge of Top 10 music of the time period and gives our diva an opportunity to deliver her alluring vocals in a new style which comes off as new. Madleen gives us again an assurance that she understands dance music as she always has.

I have taken the album version of “Just For One Night” and transformed it into a new ReStructure Mix. A sequencer added for the hardcore sensation this song gives off and also a few new breaks.
