ReStructure Mix Update (8/13/26): “I Wanna Be A Cowboy” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Boys Don’t Cry
Boys Don’t Cry is a British pop-rock band who released a single titled “I Wanna Be A Cowboy” in 1986 - a dance parody of the Western man being admired with light hearted humor. The track fit into the 80s catalogue with a sincere direction and distinctive package. The electronic arrangement gives off several bass riffs which mimic a night on the plains with a roaring fire giving comfort to exhausted rustlers. The fun here lies in the outline of a modern day man desiring the dirty and dusty lifestyle of the open West as a need to feel excitement. Every cliche of this time period is open to jab and offers a strange parallel for the fantasy of living the life of a cowboy. The band members include Brian Chatton, Jeff Seopardie, John Ward, Loui Beau, Mark Smith, Nick Richards, Nico Ramsden and Richard Tace.
I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental version of “I Wanna Be A Cowboy” and rewired the piece again for a new ReStructure Mix. More of the bass grooves are used to give the breakdowns and a fade out which is the last of the embers on the prairie.

ReStructure Mix Update (8/12/26): “Strategy” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Jigsaw
Jigsaw is a pop-rock band from England who began recording in 1970 and also recorded one of the disco classic pop-hits titled “Sky High” in 1975. “Strategy” is a single from 1989 as part of the high-energy label Nightmare Records - produced by Ian Levine and Steven Wagner. This majestic piece of dance music is close to the feel of their classic sound and a theme where a layout brings a troubled relationship to healing. The lead vocal by Des Dyer plays out with a haunting echo throughout the song and gives it an instant classic feel for this long standing band. The energy provided by Wagner and Levine who have scored over and over with production throughout the 80s for the dance floor solidify their presence once again.
I have taken the 12” vocal and dub version of “Strategy” and worked the magic into a new ReStructure Mix. More of the technical pieces are embellished and the story is given a new way to play out.

ReStructure Mix Update (8/11/26): “The Calling” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Friends of Matthew
Friends of Matthew is a techno/rave project with members Cino Berigliano, Jon Pearn, Michael Gray and Nick Ratcliffe. The band’s title is based on a young boy from Leicester whose love for house music and belief in aliens from another universe exists. “The Calling” is a techno piece from 1990 which uses vocal samples from a song by The Carpenters titled “Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft” from 1977 where Karen’s beautiful voice becomes a cry out for those in space to answer. Their version is a cover of Klaatu's 1975 original. This track has more mystique based on the sound effects which create a question of our universe itself. There are moments where trance is the style and a lilting sound of silence says more than the idea. Techno music during the early 90s were released as underground singles as the raw recording was intended as the experience as a whole.
I have taken the 12” versions of “The Calling” and moved them into a new ReStructure Mix with more of the same mystery. There is a new drum track throughout the remix to pump out the rhythm with more intent.

ReStructure Mix Update (8/9/26): “Love Fantasy” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Joey Negro
Joey Negro (David Russell Lee) is one of keepers of disco and house music who has contributed to the growth and direction of club music from the disco era to the underground house scene of the 90’s and throughout the millennium. His music has captured the sound which are the basics of the groove and scene. Negro has always been looked to with respect and anticipation of what direction he would take his productions. In 1992 he released an EP titled “Enter Your Fantasy” which contained “Love Fantasy” which is one of his most repeated tracks on my playlists of the period. This literal explosive song is a venture into a place where dancers and clubbers could never achieve without sounds like this. It is one of Negro’s “Voyage” disco productions in he house theme. With the big house movement of the time this is an encapsulation of the excitement in which it was created. It is another Negro anthem!
I have taken the EP version of “Love Fantasy” and reworked and readministered the groove for this ReStructure Mix. I have added a few distinctive drum tracks to take it to another world - which is what Negro’s influence has motivated in me.
This ReStructure Mix is dedicated to Michael Rosensteel who always motivated my love for dance music by saying, “lets go, lets go, lets go!”

ReStructure Mix Update (8/7/26): “Action!” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Pearly Gates
Pearly Gates is a disco singer who began her recording career in 1974 and released several disco tracks in the late '70s. During the 80s high-energy period she also made a return covering “One Less Bell To Answer” in 1989 - produced by Ian Levine and Steven Wagner. “Action!” is her 1985 single - produced by James George Hargreaves and Mick Parker. This is the essence of the high energy sound coming from the UK and in a resounding package which took many artists onto fame. This number is an evening out on the town with the intention of being “bold and bad”. It plays with excitement and much of the energy that this genre of dance music is known for.
I have taken the 12” remix of “Action!” and reignited the festive energy again for this ReStructure Mix. I have used several segments of the original to fill in the places where a dub edge was needed.
