ReStructure Mix Update (4/15/26): ”Remember” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – B-Classic
B-Classic is a garage/house project from Dean Krexa and Steve Harris. Their 1993 single “Remember” is a track which received play on many dance floors and placed in progressive playlists. A juicy house production with focus on house rhythms and a sampled riff which plays out as a sentimental and marking point of realization of love and happiness. The chorus riff lays itself into a house keyboard arena and makes it easy to take this one in for its worth. During the early 80s house music emerged from clubs thanks to the remixing abilities of many of the top 10 radio tunes. B-Classic makes the outline simple and direct where a sampled vocal line is taken into the deep rhythmic world of house. For these artists venturing into a new genre of music they have created a wonderful piece which still resonates.
I have taken the 12” versions of “Remember” and reapplied the ReStructure Mix formula to this garage classic. A more fading intro and breaks using the existing segments of each mix are planted to create a new play field.

ReStructure Mix Update (4/11/26): ”Do It” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Celena Duncan
Celena Duncan is a disco artist from the early 80s and produced by Sandy Linzer ("Native New Yorker", "Use It Up and Wear It Out" by Odyssey). “”Do It” is her single from 1982 which combines Linzer’s big band feel in a moderate and rhythmic arrangement. This piece is one of the rare disco pieces of the time and gives off the feel of Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band from the late 70s. Exciting chorus segments give us a celebratory feel in a mild dose with the vocals of Celena outlining that torch diva feel. For a period where disco music became somewhat rare this one was welcomed into the 80s for many reasons not only to preserve the feel of disco music but also remind everyone how it painted the dance its true colors.
I have taken the 12” version of “Do It” and transformed the song into a new dub-like intro and extension for this ReStructure Mix. New percussion and breaks are added to give this new version a space between the wonderful vocals.

ReStructure Mix Update (4/10/26): ”Ass Up” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Baracuda
Baracuda is a German dance group featuring Axel Konrad, Ole Wierk and Tobias Lammer. Their 2005 single “Ass Up” is a techno/Euro-dance piece which lays out the delivery of this trio very well. A light hearted approach at this bawdy title plays out in a humorous and somewhat celebratory delivery. The track has a moderate techno edge which helps along the breaks where keyboards take on a segment of hard keyboard riffs and then gently guide us back into the laughable chorus. It is one of the early millennial pieces which worked well for me during private parties and those Euro-dance mixes which defy a description. All in all the tune is great fun and marks that period where Euro-dance was king.
I have taken the 12” versions of “Ass Up” and recreated a new ReStructure Mix for this novelty piece. The arrangement is laid out for the uplifting chorus to take on its strength and frivolity.

ReStructure Mix Update (4/7/26): ”Got A Love For You” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Jomanda
Jomanda is Cheri Williams, Joanne Thomas, Renee Washington and Yavahn. One of the early garage/house groups of the late 80’s with the exploration of deep bass and rhythms igniting a chunk of the period as the experimental and fusion of alternative dance floor sounds.”Got A Love For You” is their single from 1991 - produced by Cassio Ware. A definitive moment for these ladies as this track gives us all of what they have been storing up from the inception of their presence. House music is the focus of the 12” single with additional production by Steve "Silk" Hurley and in his hard hitting style with plenty of bass, percussion and pulling out more than originally existed. The vocals are also a leading edge of this song as they give us a sample of the pulversizing strength that Jomanda can deliver as a team. One the peak songs for myself and my club as it always gave the floor the heat it needed for those weekend nights where everyone did what they came for.
I have taken the 12” version of the original and also a few pieces of a special 12” remixed 4 EQ (Produced by Backroom Productions) of “Got A Love For You’ to invigorate this new ReStructure Mix. Using the heavy bass of the Hurley mixes as the outline and the techno and hard house segments of the additional 12” remixes which always made it onto my turntable during those very sweaty nights.
