ReStructure Mix Update (7/4/26): “Living In Oblivion” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Anything Box
Anything Box is a dance project from producer Jon St. James who also gave us Stacy Q (“Two Of Hearts”) and Bardeaux (“Three Time Lover”). This project features Claude Strillo who provides vocals and also arranges and programs synthesizers. “Living In Oblivion” is a single from their 1990 project titled “Peace” and follows the high energy mold of the 80’s with its melodic and plea for a sense of knowledge in life. This one has been compared to Limahl’s “Never Ending Story” with the somewhat whimsical feel of both music and vocals. It is one of the big pop-dance tracks of 1990 and also helped to bring back the lyrical disco sound which always seemed to be welcomed by dance floors throughout time.
I have taken the 12” versions of “Living In Oblivion” and blended parts and pieces of the mixes into a new ReStructure Mix. I have painted the same fantasy feel over with more emphasis on the song's appeal for beauty.

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.
