ReStructure Mix Update (3/6/26): ”Are You A Love Maker” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Shezoray

Shezoray is a disco project from producer Vince Degiorgio (Tapps, Eria Fachin, Crystal In The Pink, Barbara Doust) - whose contributions moved the 80s into the high energy mode of dance music. Shezoray is an electronic arrangement that is poised heavy on the synthesizers yet light on vocals. The number introduces a taste of bass sequencers pounding out the rhythm while the percussion takes over in breaks. 80’s high energy followed the resurgence of dance music in a dedication to disco music completely making the best tracks stand out as classics. “Are You A Love Maker” was released in 1983 and appeared in programs which favored the energy sets and Italo-diso and left the dance floor waiting for the next NRG release as the formula was being worked on and perfected.

I have taken the 12” versions of “Are You A Love Maker” and pieced together the works in this new ReStructure Mix. I have added more of the rhythmic instrumental as the outline and added The Queen Of Disco as a side note to where this all started.

ReStructure Mix Update (3/4/26): ”Baby It’s Alright Now” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Miss Nicky Trax

ReStructure Mix Update (3/4/26): ”Baby It’s Alright Now” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Miss Nicky Trax

Miss Nicky Trax is a new-beat artist who released several singles which play out in the hardcore electronic arena. “Acid In The House” from 1988 is one of her well-known pieces which also gives a good interpretation of New Beat music. “Baby It’s Alright Now” is her 1990 release which is more fluent and pop-edged of her releases with a trance-house feel. The production by Jeff Vanbockryck, Patrick Claesen and Emile Elsen is a new beat outline with the rhythm focused on the build of the vocal segments. Many new beat pieces focus on an electronic riff and/or a theme using samples or pieces of another track - this release uses a format outside the style. There are echoes of a fusion within the arrangement and bring this one to life as more than just a mixing tool.

I have taken the 12” versions of “Baby It’s Alright Now” and reapplied the groove for another take in this ReStructure Mix. I have added more of a foundation for the groove and break parts of the verses into new segments.

ReStructure Mix Update (3/3/26): ”You Know How to Love Me” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Tufuri

ReStructure Mix Update (3/3/26): ”You Know How to Love Me” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Tufuri

Tafuri is a vocalist from the late 80’s and early 90’s house scene and through her vocal talents landed an opportunity to bring back the Phyllis Hyman classic “You Know How To Love Me” released in 1979. This beautiful house cover gives us a blend of Tafuri’s vocal presence and the production from Steve Anderson. This version plays along the same essence of the original with a few new beats and riffs of the house dance music movement of the time. It gives us another opportunity to hear a soul/funk fused classic again in a whole new realm.

I have taken the 12” versions of Tafuri’s “You Know How To Love Me” and reignited the magic again for this ReStructure Mix. I have given the new arrangement some new drop-outs and breaks to create a new sound and dance experience for this great cover.

ReStructure Mix Update (3/2/26): ”Free To Be” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Gioia

ReStructure Mix Update (3/2/26): ”Free To Be” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Gioia

Gioia (Carmen Gioia Bruno) is a singer who was a part of the 80’s trio called Expose’. Her solo career gave us some independent releases and one from 2001 titled “Free To Be” which is one of the uplifting anthems of the dance period. Produced by David Nieves this electronic techo-pop piece delivers several riffs that sink deep into the heart of the early millennium dance scene. The self written song gives out a positive ring to each and every one on the dance floor to “be free as yourselves”. It also gives Gioia an opportunity to give her performance as a main liner proving she is more than Expose allowed. There is a powerful message here which always caught my attention thanks to the uplifting arrangement and outline given here.

I have taken the 12” versions of “Free To Be” and revisited the anthem for this new ReStructure Mix. More emphasis on the actual groove with much of the original percussion making its way to the surface.

ReStructure Mix Update (3/1/26): ”Lucky Charm” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Hard Corps

ReStructure Mix Update (3/1/26): ”Lucky Charm” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Hard Corps

Hard Corps are Clive Pierce, Hugh Ashton, Regine Fetet and Rob Doran - an 80’s synth-pop band from London. The sound of their music could be haunting and moody with a slight rock edge. “Lucky Charm” is their 1987 self-produced single which points to an early morning sound with layers of peculiar choruses and breaks. This one always screamed out to me with that deeper meaning where hidden messages are contained. Much of the sequencers are rolling bass tracks that take the dance floor into a mystique realm that gives off touches of Bronski Beat and hints of Eurythmics. One of the fluent dance tracks and a good start to acquaint yourself with the band if you are unfamiliar.

I have taken the 12” versions of “Lucky Charm” and rewired the tracks to create this new ReStructure Mix. Layering two of the versions for a new adventure into this concealing song.
