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
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.

ReStructure Mix Update (5/15/26): ”Keep Warm” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Jinny
Jinny is an Italo-house project from Alessandro Gilardi, Walter Cremonini and Claudio Varola. Their first single “I Need Your Love” from 1990 set a formula similar to Black Box’s “Ride On Time” where a mixture of existing phrases from an underground classic dance track is followed by vocals and ad-libs (here provided by Janine Brown & later Carryl Varley) uniting two separate subjects to a pumping house rhythm. “Keep Warm” is their 1991 follow-up which is the most notable and received radio play here in the US as a part of dance sets. “Keep Warm” has a horn riff which beats the heck out of the flowing rhythm section which uses it as a cool towel during a sweaty workout. One of the treasures of the Italo-house period and one which gives off the sound which helped to move dance floors in a whole new direction.
I have taken parts of the various versions of “Keep Warm” and blended and edited pieces into a new ReStructure Mix to pump the house in the Italo-style. A new down deep pounds the pieces assembled again to praise the dance floor again.

The Key:
The Key:
Stevie Wonder taught us that “music is the key of life” - it was the first time in my life when I embraced music as magic in my world. After many years of spinning in clubs, houses and auditoriums I realize that it is also the “safe in our lives" - it helps and maintains those wonderful memories from the past and gives them a great soundtrack to replay with. Music is universal and gives me the need to continually celebrate its ebullient magic.
