ReStructure Mix Update (7/3/26): “Action” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – La Bionda
La Bionda are Carmelo and Michelangelo La Bionda - who are brothers and helped to formulate early Italian disco music. “Action” is from their 1980 project titled “I Wanna Be Your Lover” which presented a more predominant electronic edge that was becoming the 80s dance sound. This wavy-synthed track features a percolating synth-keyboard in arpeggio state laying out an odd but infectious rhythm where our desirous storyteller exposes how he wants to be a part of what is happening out there. It has some simple riffs that give the technical end of the track a nice contrast to its source. La Bionda was here in a discovery stage and their talents in disco music are further examined.
I have taken the 12” version of “Action” and have taken piece by piece into a new ReStructure Mix. New base beats pound below and some neutral effects pop in and out of this new arrangement.

ReStructure Mix Update (7/2/26): “Passengers For Mexico” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Passengers
ReStructure Mix Update (7/2/26): “Passengers For Mexico” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Passengers
Passengers are an Italian disco ensemble featuring Chuck Rolando, Elwanda Contreras, Kathleen Flynn and Gesualdo Arena - produced by Angelo Piccarreta and Felice Piccarreda who also brought us disco groups Nuggets and V.I.S.A. - and also featured the late music composer and arranger Mr. Celso Valli. “Passengers For Mexico” is a single from their self-titled second album released in 1980. This piece is a disco arrangement with all of the dedication to the theme which lightly gives us a travel ignition south of the border. It features some fierce castanets and Flamenco guitar riffs which paint a more enticing lure to this simple yet alluring song. The vocals are a falsetto and bring the men up a few levels to where they maintain their usual key. The Celso Valli influence became the excitement for myself when the group released a new track since his work always reflected creativity and a disco trip worth taking.
I have taken the 12” version of “Passengers For Mexico” and reworked the track for a new outline for this ReStructure Mix. I have added a Mariachi segment to give this trip a new break and also used new beats to pound out the stomping excitement.

ReStructure Mix Update (6/30/26): ”Come On-A My House” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – K.T.
K.T. (Kay Toinette Oslin) is a singer and theater actress who released a cover of Rosemary Clooney’s 1951 hit, “Come On-A My House” in her 2001 project titled “Live Close By, Visit Often” - produced by Raul Malo. Fly-Life Music adapted the album version the same year for a techno/house version which included remixes by Motive 8, Michael T. Diamond and Mind Trap. The power of this song flowing to a pulsating house bass along with the techno riffs are a big moment for dance floors of the time. The vocals are given an eerie feel along the raging arrangement of these remixes. The original 1951 gives a slight big-band and jazz feel where this production takes it all and shakes it up for the energy.
I have taken the 12” versions of K.T.’s “Come On-A My House” and reworked the pieces into a new ReStructure Mix. There is a maniacal new intro which begins menacing and ends the same way.

ReStructure Mix Update (6/29/26): ”Heartbreaker” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Key Largo
Key Largo is an underground deep-house production from Eddie Richards and their single “Heartbreaker” from 1993 is a path from signals of house music. This moody number is a dream sequence of a remembrance of a relationship where one has been used to the extreme and no other name fits. There is a wonderful deep tribal feel to this production also where a spell is being cast upon the dance floor in an ambient form. The delays on the lead vocal give off that haunting feeling which brings on a nice resonance and appealing end. This one also worked for myself during afterhours sets - however it can be placed during those winding down peak moments where the crowd is taking some time to slowly recover on the dance floor.
I have taken the 12” versions of “Heartbreaker” and spilled the dreamy-edge of the production into a new ReStructure Mix. I have added a classic beauty from Giorgio Moroder’s classic “Our Love” by Donna Summer in for a new rhythmic quality. This one makes a reverb sound like home again.
