ReStructure Mix Update (9/4/26): “Workout" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Frankie Knuckles
Frankie Knuckles is one of the founders and creators of house music in the late 80s. His contribution and knowledge of the dance floor itself and its response to music and change has made him an icon. Frankie also produced many projects including the 1992 single “Workout” featuring Roberta Gilliam on lead vocals. This project is one of his most memorable as the riffs are contagious and slick. It works like a weekend anthem for peak hour where the music is working its magic throughout the crowd. Much of the excitement is about the mood and delivery and this is where Frankie makes his point with “Workout”. It was one of the top house movers during its release and I can remember holding on to it using it as ammunition for a crowded dance floor to be wrecked.
I have taken the 12” versions of “Workout” and laid out the song in a new arrangement for this ReStructure Mix. The foundation is laid out with the rhythm track which slowly surfaces into the power of the kick beats.

ReStructure Mix Update (9/2/26): “Supermodel (You Better Work)" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – RuPaul
RuPaul is an entertainer/singer who took the 90s and turned the house music scene into a runway. “Supermodel (You Better Work)” is his 1992 single - produced by Jimmy Harry. This extravaganza piece is one of the parodies which outline itself as genius. RuPaul’s stage presence as a cross-fashion goddess takes this theme and transforms it into a lifestyle for many during its release. The immediate attitude is laid out in the appropriate manner using every “new” phrase in this fabulous profession called “super modeling”. More of RuPaul was placed in television appearances in full drag and being warmly accepted by the public as they are swept into this musical fantasy. His vocals fit into this mold as the notes themselves are placed. It is pure dance floor magic and also a note of house music and its own success in the late 80s and 90s.
I have taken the 12” versions of “Supermodel (You Better Work)” and placed pieces and bits into a new interpretation for this ReStructure Mix. I have created more of a dub-like flavor and worked to make the best survive another dance floor era.

ReStructure Mix Update (8/30/26): “World In Fascination" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Machine In Motion
Machine In Motion is a synth-pop band from 1995 who featured members Machine X, Robert Powers and Robin Stefan. This ensemble was a follow up of the 60s love generation feel created by the band DeeLite in the early 90s. There were many other groups and bands who offered their own take on the peace and love theme and applied their own rhythms and magic to some phenomenal and anthem-like songs. “World In Fascination” is one of those positive outlooks on how our planet is a part of a system which will bring whatever it sows and “everything will be allright”. The edge used here is more of a house predominant sound with deep bass outlining the foundation for these dreamy boys to point to the positive direction of global growth as we all watch in awe of its power. The production has plenty of techno and rave elements which are a part of the early and mid-90s dance sound. A nice lyrical track with a harmonious message.
I have taken the 12” versions of “World In Fascination” and replenished the upbeat mood into a new ReStructure Mix. More of the keyboard arpeggios spread across the mix and a breakdown is offered throughout the new arrangement over and over.

ReStructure Mix Update (8/27/26): “‘Scandalous” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – 2 Puerto Ricans, A Blackman And A Dominican
2 Puerto Ricans, A Blackman And A Dominican are David Cole and Robert Clivilles of C & C Music Factory along with David Morales and Chep Nuñez. This ensemble was responsible for bringing the underground house and techno sound to pop music. “Scandalous” is their second single from 1989 and contains the utmost leading pieces of house music and acid-house during the period. The mechanical pieces of Chicago house music where the piano is the domineering rhythm is pounding out the groove throughout this number. A simple outline using the dance floor as the weapon itself as the infectious sound takes over. The fusion of players here gives off the authenticity of the project and the dedication to create a moving dance song which plays out as an anthem.
I have taken the 12” versions of “Scandalous” and rewired the parts with the house maneuvers for this ReStructure Mix. Much of the audio effects are used again in a new arrangement and approach for this remix.

ReStructure Mix Update (8/26/26): “Frantic Love” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Eastbound Expressway
Eastbound Expressway is a disco project from producers Ian Levine and Fiachra Trench - whose talents has given us numerous disco classics and also the realization of “high energy” music during the early 80s. “Frantic Love” is a single released in 1984 and features vocals by Bonnie Anderson, Joycelyn Phillips and Karen Freeman. This fast moving number is a close reminder of the big Broadway dance numbers done in Busby Berkeley 1930s films. It builds and builds over a maximum level of excitement which gives this girl group the ammunition needed for the 80s shift in dance music. It is a love song that dedicates a crazy affection for one and guarantees that it will live on forever. Beautiful keyboard arrangements pound out the melody here with the ladies mastering their delivery throughout the song.
I have taken the 12” version of “Frantic Love” and worked the original energy into a new ReStructure Mix. More of the vocal pieces are added to give it a stage appeal and a few new dropout-breaks to create new energy.
