ReStructure Mix Update (6/1/26): ”I Need Your Love” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Midnight Passion
Midnight Passion is an Italian disco from Crusin’ Records who also produced Crusin’ Gang. Their first single titled “I Need Your Love” was released in 1986 and is an arrangement in the genre of Italian dance music from the mid-80’s fused from the early productions creating a solid path to follow. This track utilizes the formula with the electronic percussion setting the canvas for the dramatic flare similar to the classic disco formula. “I Need Your Love” has vocals that are 80s pensive style along with the colorful and abstract edge. One of the Italo-disco pieces which celebrates the genre in full force and energy.
I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental of “I Need Your Love” and taken pieces into a new ReStructure Mix. More of a fade in on the excitement and a fade out to the unique riffs which decor this creative number.

ReStructure Mix Update (5/29/26): ”From Here To Eternity” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Hananas
Hananas is an Italo-disco project from Mauro Farina, Pierre Feroldi and Roberto Arduini. This electronic ensemble released a cover of Giorgio Moroder’s classic “From Here To Eternity” on Zanza Records. A synth-trip from the early 80s where the simplistic arrangement was to emulate the Moroder genius note per note. This cover takes a nice edge and yet relays less of a sweet resonance as the original and more of a robotic impression. The programming of sequencers were the factor in attempting to bring this classic in the Italo-disco arena and is given the accolades for the moment and savvy for the good taste of disco classics.
I have taken the 12” vocal and dub of Hananas’ cover of “From Here To Eternity” and reworked the elements of both into a new ReStructure Mix. I have used the segment of “Utopia-Me Giorgio” (which seems to have been used in most covers of this track) and used it more of the preface of the remix.

ReStructure Mix Update (5/28/26): ”Saved” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Grace Jones
Grace Jones is one of unique acts to have captured the stage in music history. During the formulation of disco music in the mid and late 70s her presence has always drawn curious and surprised responses. Her music during the disco years was a flavor of symphonic disco arrangements along with her daring flare and overpowering stance. “Muse” is the title of her 1979 project and was produced by Tom Moulton. This wicked disco features a medley with a tale of shifts in attitude during a dark side and eventually ending with “Saved”. This gospel fused piece is Grace’s most exuberant tracks from her disco albums giving her the freedom to relay uplifting excitement yet the somewhat reluctance of her personality. This number closes out the segued side one medley in an appropriate manner and gives us another side of Jones.
I have taken the album version of “Saved” and reworked the church organs and backing vocals from The Brotherhood into a new ReStructure Mix. The building verses are distributed in a new way and also given more space for breaks and loop-effects.

ReStructure Mix Update (5/25/26): ”Put Yourself In My Place” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – TJM
TJM is a disco project from legendary disco remix engineer and music producer, Thomas Jerome Moulton. This 1979 album was released on Casablanca Records and features a four track disco/soul production with a full orchestration and arrangement with Arthur Baker. Vocals are provided by the ensemble The Brotherhood - who were also featured on Grace Jones’ “Muse” project also produced by Tom Moulton. “Put Yourself In My Place” has a heavy dose of soul music and its wear on heartache and pain. It is not surprising for Moulton to deliver a soulful edge with the disco flare included. The breaks are the disco stamps on these heavily percussion sprinkled over the groove which gives off a more eminent purpose for dance floors in the late 70s. The arrangement of “Put Yourself In My Place” is a Moulton masterpiece as the main riffs become the focal point of the song itself. TJM is a must for any disco audiophile who is desirous of the dance floor experience of the 70s.
I placed the album version of “Put Yourself In My Place” onto the ReStructure Mix cutting block to give the piece another round. I have used parts of the original outline and completed my remix in new segments and purpose.
