ReStructure Mix Update (5/28/26): ”Saved” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Grace Jones

ReStructure Mix Update (5/28/26): ”Saved” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Grace Jones

Grace Jones is one of unique acts to have captured the stage in music history. During the formulation of disco music in the mid and late 70s her presence has always drawn curious and surprised responses. Her music during the disco years was a flavor of symphonic disco arrangements along with her daring flare and overpowering stance. “Muse” is the title of her 1979 project and was produced by Tom Moulton. This wicked disco features a medley with a tale of shifts in attitude during a dark side and eventually ending with “Saved”. This gospel fused piece is Grace’s most exuberant tracks from her disco albums giving her the freedom to relay uplifting excitement yet the somewhat reluctance of her personality. This number closes out the segued side one medley in an appropriate manner and gives us another side of Jones.

I have taken the album version of “Saved” and reworked the church organs and backing vocals from The Brotherhood into a new ReStructure Mix. The building verses are distributed in a new way and also given more space for breaks and loop-effects.

ReStructure Mix Update (5/25/26): ”Put Yourself In My Place” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – TJM

ReStructure Mix Update (5/25/26): ”Put Yourself In My Place” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – TJM

TJM is a disco project from legendary disco remix engineer and music producer, Thomas Jerome Moulton. This 1979 album was released on Casablanca Records and features a four track disco/soul production with a full orchestration and arrangement with Arthur Baker. Vocals are provided by the ensemble The Brotherhood - who were also featured on Grace Jones’ “Muse” project also produced by Tom Moulton. “Put Yourself In My Place” has a heavy dose of soul music and its wear on heartache and pain. It is not surprising for Moulton to deliver a soulful edge with the disco flare included. The breaks are the disco stamps on these heavily percussion sprinkled over the groove which gives off a more eminent purpose for dance floors in the late 70s. The arrangement of “Put Yourself In My Place” is a Moulton masterpiece as the main riffs become the focal point of the song itself. TJM is a must for any disco audiophile who is desirous of the dance floor experience of the 70s.

I placed the album version of “Put Yourself In My Place” onto the ReStructure Mix cutting block to give the piece another round. I have used parts of the original outline and completed my remix in new segments and purpose.

ReStructure Mix Update (5/23/26): ”Perfect Moment” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Mary Griffin

ReStructure Mix Update (5/23/26): ”Perfect Moment” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Mary Griffin

Mary Griffin is a vocalist and songwriter with an unforgettable voice which resonates and inspires. Her 2000 single “Perfect Moment” is one of the tracks from the period to make a transition from club to pop-techno. The track was a ballad she performed and was then produced by Almighty Associates as a hard hitting dance floor piece. The momentum of Mary’s powerful vocal sends chills more than chills as a ballad it also gives the warmth of a love inspirational song. The build on this one is a climb to the top of an energy force which delivers a wonderful fulfillment with meaning. It is a great song to accompany a time when songs like Cher’s “Believe” moved the world and dance floors in the same way.

I have taken the 12” versions of “Perfect Moment” including the ballad and realigned the song for a new ReStructure Mix. A transition from the energy of each version is treated to a new purpose where you can dance right into the “perfect moment”.

REISSUE: "On The Road Again" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Rockets

Rockets are Claude Lemoine, Alain Groetzinger, Alain Maratrat, André Thus, Bernard Torelli, Christian Le Bartz, Fabrice Quagliotti, Gerard L'Her and Sal Solo. This futuristic styled band in the late 70’s became an underground hit with their sound engaging a mix of synthetic effects with a rock fused style. “One The Road Again” is from their 1978 project by the same title and is one of their signature tracks. A touch of doo-wop meets disco/space funk. Their sound changed in the 80’s to more of a nu-wave influence and also gave them more of an opportunity to utilize their unique stage presence. Rockets are in indeed one of the sounds of the late 70s which was unique and ahead of its sound.

I have taken the 12” version of “On The Road Again” and worked it into a new ReStructure Mix. A bass beat with more of a union for this space age piece is added for a rhythmic feel and more of the sequencers are placed among the journey here.

This ReStructure Mix is dedicated to Antonio Fisichella – thanks for requesting this great band for a remix and may the force stay with you!

ReStructure Mix Update (5/21/26): ”Don’t Drop Bombs” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Liza Minnelli

ReStructure Mix Update (5/21/26): ”Don’t Drop Bombs” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Liza Minnelli

Liza Minnelli (daughter of Judy Garland) came a long way to become the stage legend throughout her career. Her teaming with dance/disco producers Neil Tennent and Chris Lowe (Pet Shop Boys) in the late 80s became an iconic moment for her talent. Taking Liza into their dance realm and utilizing the presence of a somewhat reluctant subject they transformed her Broadway roots into a pop-masterpiece. Blending her as a subject for themes and ideas for each of the tracks for the project titled “Results” was fabulously executed. “Don’t Drop Bombs” is a brilliant transformation of Liza asking her cheating lover to cease with the pain and although it was always clear that something was never quite right - she is ready to fight back and let go. The electronic arrangement explodes, literally over and over with clever riffs and moments where one wonders if the energy takes Liza into a very comfortable place.

I have taken the 12” vocal, instrumental and dub of “Don’t Drop Bombs” and reignited the song for a new ReStructure Mix. A layout which plays out for more new segues and drop-outs are created for this kitschy number.
