ReStructure Mix Update (9/11/26): “Open The Secret Door" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Masquerade
Masquerade is Boris Midney's fourth project - who took the disco sound and created a sound all his making. With music elements arranged in an artistic and raw manner. When a beautiful string and piano interlude could suddenly open a wall of bongos and percussion. His work was magic at a time when disco music was at its creative peak. “Open The Secret Door” comes from his project titled Masquerade - a discofied interpretation of the tale, Pinocchio. This version with a disco edge outlining the funkiness of the puppet as he is carved by his master and eventually discovers his way to becoming a real human boy throughout his disco adventure. “Open The Secret Door” is the finale where Midney takes the tale and puts an ending where it is all art becoming life. His orchestrations here are a bit subtle and less symphonic as it outlines the story in a raw but creative manner.
I have taken the album version of “Open The Secret Door” and placed it with care as it is from one of my favorite producers, arrangers and groups of the disco era and played it out in a new ReStructure Mix. There is a new rhythm track assisting the groove and a few new segments added for the retelling of this great disco track.

ReStructure Mix Update (9/10/26): “Dirty Talk ‘92" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Klein and M.B.O.
ReStructure Mix Update (9/10/26): “Dirty Talk ‘92" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Klein and M.B.O.
Klein and M.B.O. is an Italo-disco project from the early 80s led by Mario Boncaldo and Tony Carrasco. The presence of their dance floor hit “Dirty Talk” from 1982 is a point of direction on where innovative dance was headed. This piece created a percolating rhythmic outline with elements influenced by bands like Kraftwerk smoked out of the concoction. “Dirty Talk” became a fascination more than anything and helped shift the influence of house music to a spark. “Dirty Talk ‘92” is a more hard-beat cover of the song in a fierce drum foundation to rock the energy in a new way. It is in some ways a techno approach with a Belgium Beat influence. The new production from Anthony Mannino and Ralphie Dee is a fantastic new application which makes a new stance for the song itself.
I have taken the 12” remix of “Dirty Talk ‘92” using both the “‘92 version " and " to work out a new take for this ReStructure Mix. I have forever pounded those drums again for a new outline and also added more of the original pieces from the original to give it a new resonance.

ReStructure Mix Update (9/9/26): “Playing With Love" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Chapter One
Chapter One is Danny Rodriguez, Steve Muñoz, Martin Rodriguez and Dana Laguna - formerly titled Stop with the big high-energy single “Wake Up” from 1985. “Playing With Love” is a single released in 1987 and produced by Martin Rodriguez. This track has a Latin edge which makes it pump along with its house bass track and segments emulating an electric Flamenco sound. Dana Laguna leads it on vocals and is a playful dance number which gives off a touch of Miami-freestyle in a delicate way. It is one of the singles from an independent dance label which made playlists with Miami dance in focus. The rolling bass and Latin style keyboards give this one an instant rush for the 80s and also makes waves for the boys who brought us the classic “Wake Up”.
I have taken the 12” vocal and dub of “Playing With Love” and laid out pieces and parts for a new ReStructure Mix. I have added more of the percussion riffs over places where another riff was needed and also extended their verses.

ReStructure Mix Update (9/8/26): “Dress You Up" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Madonna
Madonna built a stage for herself during the early 80s and a career which lasts to the day. Her second project titled “Like A Virgin” from 1984 was another big surprise album full of singles which sparked her fame even further. The production by Nile Rogers (Chic, Sister Sledge, Diana Ross) is a synth-pop layout which gives a complete sound working alongside Madonna’s enthusiastic vocal treatment. “Dress You Up” is one of Madonna’s big pop-hits and was another double play for her playful manner. This number is clever in lyrics and also the fast moving arrangement where each verse and chorus is closer to a home stretch. It builds like a new sound for the 80s time period and is one of her most memorable moments once again.
I have taken the 12” single remixes of “Dress You Up” and realigned the powerful outline for a new ReStructure Mix. I have used more of the lyrics in place for new breaks and worked to make this another sensual approach for Madonna.

ReStructure Mix Update (9/6/26): “Turn Up The Power" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – N-Trance
N-Trance is a British techno/Euro-dance band featuring Dale Longworth, Kevin O'Toole and Rachel McFarlane. The single titled “Turn Up The Power” is their 1994 release and is a cross between techno and rave elements over a house bass beat. It is one of the pieces which pair out the distance of genres of dance music during the 90s. This fast moving number gives off the rolling bass which keeps the energy piercing onto the dance floor in a mild and ambient delivery. I have always placed this one in the peak sets where the techno pulsating rhythm needs a slight relaxing moment where dancers can find their energy to release again.
I have taken the 12” versions of “Turn Up The Power” and reworked the striking keyboards and bass into a new ReStructure Mix. I have added portions of “Pulstar” by Mc Lane Explosion into the mix to give a new direction for the energy and theme here.
