ReStructure Mix Update (2/28/26): ”Hills Of Kat Mandu” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Suns Of Shiva


Suns Of Shiva is an electronic disco project from high energy producer, Ian Anthony Stephens (Paul Parker, Midnight Shift, Madleen Kane, The Flirtations, Marsha Raven) and he takes the Tantra classic “Hills Of Kat Mandu” from 1979 and translate it into a new energy for its release in 1993. Stephens does an incredible job at the layers which were created by the late Celso Valli and weaves a high energy piece which is bound to bring back memories of being somewhere on the dance floor that did not exist anywhere else. Released on his Klone Records label and given the lift that a classic dance floor track deserves without taking away it phenomenal.

I have taken the 12” version of Suns Of Shiva’s “Hills Of Kat Mandu” and reworked a new ReStructure Mix. Paying homage to Mr. Stephen's wonderful new and energetic arrangement with a few new turns.

ReStructure Mix Update (2/27/26): ”Fly Hi” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Whirlpool featuring Mel Torme


Whirlpool are Eric D. Clark, Fred Heimermann, Hans Nieswandt and Justus Köhncke - together they created an experimental house project sampling pieces from Mel Torme’s 2013 jazz release, “Hi Fly”. The original in the crooner style fits wonderfully into the house and dub-feel scene with its display of the night life as a “crazy” way. The execution is done very well in two 12” versions where one follows a standard vibe while the other goes deeper into a moorish edge (provided by Morel). The Whirlpool 12” was released in 1993 and played out to those underground crowds who may have been moving to a house set finding themselves in a whole new world. A classic among those who may have experienced it in the right realm and right time.

I have taken both versions of the Whirlpool track “Fly Hi” and reacquainted it with a few more pieces of Mel Torme’s number for this ReStructure Mix. The cross between both versions are united in a non-stop blend for those inspiring dancers.

ReStructure Mix Update (2/26/26): ”New York Nights” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Amant


Amant is a disco group from producer, arranger, composer Mr. Ray Martinez - whose big disco hit from 1978 titled “If There’s Love” created a parallel between Euro-disco and mainstream dance music in America. His fully orchestrated pieces were lush arrangements which tugged not only at the heart and soul - but also invigorated dance floors during the disco era. “New York Nights” is Amant’s 1982 single released on Martniez’s own dance label Paris International Records. The track plays out as an anthem to The Big Apple and the excitement of living a night during the heyday of the nightlife. One of the welcomed pieces from a classic disco group which left an indelible mark on dance floors and dance charts.

I have taken the 12” version of “New York Nights” and reworked the electronic arrangement into a new ReStructure Mix. I have spaced out the original in a new way and intended to keep the original energy working throughout this remix.

ReStructure Mix Update (2/23/26): ”So Hard” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Pet Shop Boys


Pet Shop Boys are Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe - a duo that has taken the high energy synthesizers and keyboards from the Bobby Orlando period and transformed the sound into their own. “So Hard” comes from their 1990 project titled, “Behavior” and is perhaps one of their intrinsic pieces. Taking ordinary situations brought on by feeling is one of their creative means. “So Hard” takes a relationship where adultery/infidelity is examined with their mild yet direct written responses. Fast paced from start to finish this tale is one of their powerful songs and simply laid out. These artists continue to create and morph into several arenas for spotlights. 

I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental versions of “So Hard” and rebuilt this purpose for this new ReStructure Mix. Weaving together the memorable riffs and portions which make it work even now.
