ReStructure Mix Update (11/4/26): “Take My Breath Away" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – 2U
2U is an Italian disco project from producer Severo Lombardoni and “Take My Breath Away” is their second single from 1991 and a cover of the song by Berlin (originally produced by Giorgio Moroder) from the film “Top Gun”. The two versions executed on the 12” release are a retro-disco take using the percussion from Grace Jones’ “La Vie En Rose” and the second utilizing an 80s hip hop rhythm track. The beautiful vocals are provided by Dora Carofiglio (Novecento, Valerie Dore, The New Company, Susanne Meals) which give another haunting take on the song. It is another one of the Italian cover bands which keep the pop-world on the dance floor in a style of their own.
I have taken the 12” versions of 2U’s “Take My Breath Away” and laid them out again for this new ReStructure Mix. I have used both versions and edited them into a new arrangement with new breaks and drop outs.

ReStructure Mix Update (10/31/26): “This Is The Beat" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Electric Shock
Electric Shock is a Belgium Beat/new beat project from Jos Borremans, Maurice Engelen and Virgil Killer from 1989. “This Is The Beat” is their follow-up single to “Don’t Talk About Sex” from 1988. New Beat music has always been a canvas of heavy beats and pulsating bassline set to sometimes inappropriate sampled themes. This track uses the heavy bass pulsations along with keyboard riffs to create a dub-like environment for this style which emerged in the mid-80s and was created from disc jockeys playing heavy bass breaks from disco records at a lower speed creating a lower bass feel for those who waited for the breaks. It was following the house movement and many tracks in this genre use elements of house music throughout their creative pieces.
I have taken the compilation version of “This Is A Beat” and realigned the song for a new ReStructure Mix. I have spread out the groove and also used many parts for new breaks and segues.

ReStructure Mix Update (10/29/26): “Love’s About To Change My Heart" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Donna Summer
Donna Summer did not earn the title “Queen Of Disco” - she was born with it. Her vocal style throughout the early years of her career has always displayed control over her tool and gift. Early years of her recording career as a childlike whisper with a constant power became her focus on using her natural voice. It was no wonder with “Love To Love You Baby” through "Once Upon A Time” the soft panther approach made her a critical part of disco music and its own message and reputation. Even though it was a sensual beat pounding out a sexy delivery it was also her style which allowed her to raise her power onto tracks like “Mc Arthur Park”. As Donna traveled through the 80s and attempted to prove that she was more than a soulful disco performer (which her fans of the 70s already knew) she was playing out her presence as an artist as she did in early recordings like “Love To Love You Baby”. “Love’s About To Change My Heart” from her 1989 return to the synth-pop sound created by Stock, Aitken and Waterman which was the 80s disco sound refurbished with electronic technology and creative artists. The album was embraced by those who knew and believed in Donna as her vibrance and energy was brought out again with uplifting songs such as this.
I have taken the 12” versions of “Love’s About To Change My Heart” and put parts and pieces into a new ReStructure Mix. The intro gives a new take on the track which leads me to the new arrangement all together.

ReStructure Mix Update (10/28/26): “Without Your Love" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Angelina
Angelina (Angelina Camarillo-Ramos) is a freestyle/house singer who leads a dedicated following to her many dance releases. “Without Your Love” is a single from 1997 which is produced in the Latin freestyle vein with plenty of electro-beats guiding the track. It was produced by Noel Saucedo and Jazzy Jim for Upstairs Records. A love song which echoes the innocence and simplicity of an attraction and dedication that freestyle music plays out simple and well. A trip back to the period where beats painted the groove and kept the rhythm for a dance number that plays on romance and a definitive groove.
I have taken the 12” versions of “Without Your Love” and reworked the essence of the song into a new ReStructure Mix. I have added a hard down beat to pound the energy just enough not to take away the freestyle edge.
This one is dedicated to Michael Zamora who requested this 90s mover and thanks for always being kind, Micheal.

ReStructure Mix Update (10/27/26): “Living On The Edge" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Sue Chaloner
Sue Chaloner is an English house artist who has been an active recording singer from 1979 through 2024 when she left us. “Living On The Edge” is her 1992 single produced by Nigel Swanston and is in the house vein which clubs were bringing in the elements of bass and piano riffs. Sue released many singles which blended every style from disco, funk and eventually house music. “Living On The Edge” feels like a track which exposes the social injustices in consequences and life itself. It is another track where Sue gives way to the melody and message and creates a transparent and powerful vocal performance. Production gives us the segments of house keyboards leading into the anthem fused chorus and is perhaps one of her most strong lasting feelings in her repertoire.
I have taken both versions from the 12” release of “Living On The Edge” and placed it within a new focus on beats and bass again for this ReStructure Mix. Giving each segment a new breakdown for the upcoming drama of this wonderful dance tune.
