ReStructure Mix Update (7/8/25): ”Money” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – The Flying Lizards
The Flying Lizards are David Cunningham and Patti Palladin - an experimental nu-wave ensemble who recorded their version of the 1959 soul classic “Money” - written by Motown founder Barry Gordy and performed by Barrett Strong. Released in 1979 on Virgin Records, this recording became an alternative cover and an interesting effect on dance floors. The new wave scene devoured this release and made this style a staple to be an influence on many 80s groups. The piece follows close to the original melodies with a distorted take on the instrumentation as well as vocals. It can be a fun excursion into the shift and growth of musical history. This single was produced by David Cunningham.
I have taken the 12” version of The Flying Lizards’ “Money” and placed it in a new direction on this ReStructure Mix. The original version by Barrett Strong is pieced into the arrangement along with another classic by The O’Jays. Another movement for this number to give us a “thrill”.

ReStructure Mix Update (7/6/25): ”Laser” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Laser
Laser is an electronic disco project from producer Wolfgang Hermes and produced in Germany/ The track “Laser” is one of the hypnotic pieces where the sequencers pump out as much energy as a dance floor could take. Meanwhile a journey through an imaginative galaxy of laser lights engulfs the room. An instrumental which relies on the technology theme to excite the mind and feet.A popular track for after hours playsets and also for those moments where the music takes an unexpected turn.
I have taken the 12” version of “Laser” (also released on the San Francisco dance label Moby Dick Records) and pointed in a bit of a new adventure for this ReStructure Mix. New bottom beats and a few new changes in the arrangement are the new package.

ReStructure Mix Update (6/26/25): ”Happenin All Over Again” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Lonnie Gordon
Lonnie Gordon is most recognizable for her force house tracks from the early 90’s however her voice reining the dance floor was initiated from her vocal with Quartzlock in the late 80s and their tracks “No Regrets” (a cover of Tom Waite’s 1967 ballad) and “Love Eviction”. Her solo career included the track “Happenin All Over Again” from 1990 - produced by Stock, Aitken and Waterman. This heartbreak song is another one of the pieces that Lonnie pours her heart and emotions into for an unforgettable performance in her own style. The house movement of the late 80s began to morph into several areas and this Italo-house layout became one of the many successful and lasting ones.
I have taken the “Hip-hop House” version from the 12” of “Happenin All Over Again” and challenged those beats again for this ReStructure Mix. The beats and hard driving synths playout in new edits and arrangement and more of the instrumental foreground is worked a few more times for effect.

ReStructure Mix Update (6/24/25): ”American Love” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Rose Laurens
Rose Laurens is a French vocalist who began her recording career in the early 80’s and continues currently releasing material. Her single from 1986 titled “American Love” produced by Jean-Pierre Goussaud is one of the synth-pop beauties of the mid-80’s. This mid-tempo track is a love note from an international lover dreading the departure of her romance to be. With Rose’s soft and emotional delivery this early morning production which seems haunting at times.
I have taken the 12” remix on the Passion label and the 2 instrumental to transform this goodbye into a new ReStructure Mix. The segments which power this beautiful song are used again in new sections for this remix.
