ReStructure Mix Update (3/24/26): ”Make Love To Me” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Helen Reddy
Helen Reddy is an Australian-American singer who began her recording career in 1971. Many of her well-known songs are a part of American culture during the late 60s and early 70s. Helen released a disco project in 1979 titled “Reddy” and featured her single “Make Love To Me” - a cover of Kelly Marie’s number released the prior year. The Reddy production from Frank Day displays a session featuring Eddie Watkins Jr on bass and contains the disco sprinkles acceptable for the time. In this rendition Helen sounds comfortable and able to relay the yearning verses in a credulous manner. The single did quite well for the time as this was the disco heyday where many artists known and new were giving it their shot on a dance floor hit.
I have taken the 12” version of Helen Reddy’s “Make Love To Me” and rewired the piece for a new ReStructure Mix. There are some new percussion riffs added to power up the number and a longer interlude to the lilting chorus.

ReStructure Mix Update (3/21/26): ”Dirge” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – The Dream Girls
The Dream Girls is a studio ensemble from producers Martyn Norris and Richard Cottle - and features on vocals Adrienne Loehry, Hannah Jones, and Jackie Rawe. This project has taken the tracks “And I Am Telling You (I’m Not Going)” and a few disco classics to create a 90s point of view of each in a successful electronic production. “Dirge” is the B-side to their 1993 cover of Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love” - and features the instrumental talents of Graham Willcocks (Gemini Jones) in a trance/ambient piece which captures some beautiful moments. The funky guitars which serenade the melodic interludes create wonderful breezy moments where the dance beat and fantasy unite. It is one of the rare b-sides where I felt the need to flip this side up for a dance-trance set.
I have taken the 12” version of “Dirge” and recreated a new direction for this ReStructure Mix. Laying a heavy dose of percussion and beats to lead this one once again onto an amazing path.

ReStructure Mix Update (3/20/26): ”Love Is Calling” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Pleasure Game
Pleasure Game are Bruno Van Garsse, Jacky Meurisse, Michel Nachtergaele and Philippe Dhondt - a Belgium based group developed with the hardcore new beat sound and eventually becoming a Euro-house band. “Love Is Calling” is their single from 1992 - produced by Bruno Van Garsse and follows alongside the techno-pop releases of the time period from Dr. Alban, Culture Beat and Captain Hollywood Project. The various remix versions are more directed towards the new beat and techno arena where a dub edge is explored. Vocals appear in segments blending the direction into a more vaporized meaning and yet the experimental sound is more of the attraction here.
I have taken the 12” versions including the techno dubs of “Love Is Calling” and readministered a new edge for this ReStructure Mix. The function of these various techniques are outlined with moderate fades and drops which give it the new beat edge it was intended to attack.

ReStructure Mix Update (3/18/26): ”Make You Whole” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Andronicus
Andronicus is Jonathan Blanks - a dance music producer who worked with the house/techno approach on many of his projects. “Make You Whole” is his 1992 release which features the arsenal this talented man was capable of. A fast and deep pulsating piece which is broken into rhythm segments and paused for another fueling moment to hit harder and more intensely. The use of the Daisy Dee track “Crazy” from 1990 gives a more new beat drive with the Technotronic bass and beats yet Blanks gives us more to digest. With the early 90s resonating from the house, acid house and techno fusion there is a purpose for this piece and it still makes its point quite evident.
I have taken the 12” versions of “Make Your Whole” and stretched out the groove even more for this new ReStructure Mix. Using the percolating sequencers as the big line to cross for the new breaks and segments to carry on this tradition.

ReStructure Mix Update (3/17/26): ”I Say Yeah” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Secchi
Secchi (Stefano Secchi) is a music producer and disc jockey who took the 90’s into the Italo-house destination it was heading for. Following the huge success of Italian house productions as Black Box in the late 80s it was written on the walls where the playful Italo-disco sound was heading. “I Say Yeah” is a single from 1990 which takes the most important formulas of Italo-house and converts it into a powerhouse groove. The song has its concerns where our bystander watches the rise of a pop star who eventually becomes addicted to more than success. More of the interest in rhythm are the ingredients in this production where Secchi takes each element a step further. From the piping house keyboards to the percussion taking its own course this piece does mark an entry to the 90s where the club scene reaches its peak, again.
I have taken the 12” versions of “I Say Yeah” and readministered a new dose to this anthem for a new ReStructure Mix. One of the main factors for my new arrangement is the use of Secchi’s focus - the beats, bass and percussion.
