ReStructure Mix Update (4/4/26): ”Give Into Our Love” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Trip

ReStructure Mix Update (4/4/26): ”Give Into Our Love”  – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Trip

Trip is a techno project from Nicole May and Sebastian Rayas. Their EP single “Fallen” was released on Sheik Records in 1990 during a transition from house music to techno and rave. The four cut EP also contained the single “Give Into Our Love” which caught my attention thanks to the vocal riff and the exuberant arrangement. Electronic music became a fusion throughout the 80’s and independent productions as these were an addition to the growth on dance floors and DJ playlists. “Give Into Our Love” is a simple track which relies on the arrangement which drops in beat and phasing for the rhythmic enhancements. One of the independent releases of the time which stand on a fusion of dance music during a transition on the dance floors.

I have taken the 12” version of “Give Into Our Love” and rewired the electronic number for a new ReStructure Mix. I have added new drum fills and percussion to pump the original method into a new experience.

ReStructure Mix Update (4/3/26): ”My Bed Is Too Big” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Blue System

ReStructure Mix Update (4/3/26): ”My Bed Is Too Big”  – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Blue System

Blue System is a Euro-dance project from Dieter Bohlen (Modern Talking, Lift  Up) and features a sound which dance floors clamored for in the 80s. “My Bed Is Too Big” is from their 1988 project titled “Body Heat” and plays out as a lover yearns for more intimate moments and how the nights are too long without it. The project was produced by Dieter Bohlen and Luis Rodriguez. The arrangement hits hard with the deep beats and rolling bass which takes on a sensual feel with the theme projected here. It is one which helped me get the night started early on those weekend dance meets at the club and continues to be a favorite of mine.

I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental of “My Bed Is Too Big” and relayed a new message in this ReStructure Mix. Giving the new arrangement some new breaks and also a new dub feel.

ReStructure Mix Update (4/2/26): ”B-Bass” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Bass Bumpers

ReStructure Mix Update (4/2/26): ”B-Bass”  – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Bass Bumpers

Bass Bumpers are a Euro-house project from Henning Reith and Caba Kroll - founded in 1990 and taking over where Technotronic and projects in the house genre began in the late 80s. “B-Bass” is a flip side to their single “Can’t Stop Dancing” with the structure of where this style of dance music had progressed from the mid-80s to the 90s. A heavy bassline structured with the patterns of recurring chords along with a Chicago-house piano where chords strike from one end of track to guide the bass. The formula is complete on “B-Bass” with the deep mysterious energy aiming at a rhythmic integration of soulful directions taking the dance floor back to the focus. The track utilizes all of the basic and best pieces to make a standard with more the outline which dancers move to best at the time. Bass Bumpers bring the samples out to where they fit into the arrangement accordingly and leave more lasting impressions to influence future productions and arrangements.

I have taken the 12” version of “B-Bass” and used the parts of the song that move the track best for this ReStructure Mix. The foundation is lifted with pieces of the recent pop-hit by Bruno Mars to accent and flavor this groove.

ReStructure Mix Update (3/30/26): ”Fashion” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – New York Models

ReStructure Mix Update (3/30/26): ”Fashion”  – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – New York Models

New York Models is a high energy project from Bobby Orlando - a vintage disco producer who also created The Flirts, Waterfront Home, Hotline, Gina Desire and Hippies With Haircuts. Orlando’s approach being a heavy percussion layer with light and simple melodies keeping the rhythm connected. “Fashion” is a 1984 release with many pieces of past productions in his arsenal with its rolling bass lines and similar chorus of his track “Passion” by The Flirts. It still cooks on the dance floor with the energy and boldness in Orlando’s single remixes. The female vocalist here explains why her lover is more than just a lover - there is a connection to the latest needed to be in style. It is another one of his sprinkled pieces in his releases and kept his name and sound out the during the 80’s and its many dance floor.

I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental of “Fashion” into the ReStructure Mix realm in homage to the Orlando sound. The original elements are taken apart and reassembled to give another session of the “fashion” for more than just adorning.

ReStructure Mix Update (3/29/26): ”Rockin’ For Myself”  – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Motiv 8 featuring Angie Brown

Motiv 8 is a Euro-house project from Steve Rodway who also released several synth-pop tracks under Rodway including “Don’t Stop Trying” in 1983. “Rockin’ For Myself” is a track released in 1993 during the techno, house and rave segments of club dance music. It features Angie Brown on vocals and delivers a strong rippling bass number that aims to make the feet move. Rodway creates a style which incorporates the rhythms of house and high energy pulled into a Euro-styled finished product. Many of the Motiv 8 singles follow along the same arrangement with the keyboard wizardry of a number of peaks that are delivered with impact. Angie’s vocals here are limited to a few verses yet they pack the song with enough to make one remember it well.

I have taken the 12” versions of “Rockin’ For Myself” and reignited the energy here for a new ReStructure Mix. Taking parts of the 4 original remixes into a new arrangement and giving this one more space to control the oncoming energy. A salute to Rodway and his contributions to dance music and its changing formats.
