ReStructure Mix Update (7/26/26): “Hallucination” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Dannii Minogue
Dannii Minogue is an Australian singer who began her recording career in the early 90’s with several notable dance floor hits. Her music is a synth-pop edge with a vibrant energy which is a sound which dominated the high energy scene of the time period. “Hallucination” is a single released in 1991 as a bonus to the 12” single “Jump To The Beat” (a cover of Stacy Lattisaw’s 80s hit). The song is a departure for Dannii where this arrangement is a techno hip-hop fused arrangement which was produced by Andy Whitmore, Emma Freilich and Les Adams. There are plenty of familiar sounds in this track which are sampled from Quadrophonia and King Bee singles. The aura of the song is a haze of grooves where Dannii is able to confess her fantasy in spoken verses. It is a number that always worked during techno and raves sets and helped to define a transition during peak moments.
I have taken the 12” version of “Hallucination” and administered a new group of the samples into a ReStructure Mix. I have used parts of the original to reshape this new mix for another deeper trip.

ReStructure Mix Update (7/25/26): “Deep In My Heart” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Clubhouse
Clubhouse is an Italian house project from the 80’s and features Carl Fanini, Gianfranco Bortolotti, Hidalgo Serra, Mauro Picotto and Silvio Pozzoli. This studio ensemble released their first single in 1983 which was a mash-up of Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” and Steely Dan’s “Do It Again” - following this their next mash up was Chic’s “Good Times” and Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition”. The formula of combining two tracks from periods unrecognizable by some was the outline for Clubhouse done in their clever overlapping of lyrics and musical segues. “Deep In My Heart” is their 1991 single which blends a romantic verse along with a riff from Dee-Lite’s “Power Of Love” in a manner that is somewhat masked. It is a full-on Italo-house arrangement where dance floors were anchored at the time. The vocal by Silver Pozzolli works well with the flow of the verse which also collides with its own vocal riff. It is another Italian production which creates the longevity and creation of the 80’s electronic energy the Italians took on in the early 80’s successfully.
I have taken the 12” versions from the US release of “Deep In My Heart” and realigned the direction for a new ReStructure Mix. More of the deeper energy provided by the Red Zone version is used to convey the mood for another realization of an unusual transition.

ReStructure Mix Update (7/24/26): “Make Your Move For Love” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – The Rainbow Girls
The Rainbow Girls are a 90’s house/pop/funk ensemble featuring Lisa McLean on lead vocal and produced by Ricky Timas, Don Boyette, John D. Taylor Jr. and Michael Fish. One of the connected groups of the time when female ensembles were taking over dance floors and playlists. “Make Your Move For Love” is their initial single from 1990 and a solid dance track which features a killer break-beat foundation and a house arrangement on the 12” release. The clever take on the chorus and riffs from players with experience in an obvious display this number stands out with its roaring chorus which builds and then breaks itself down. The vocal is the power behind the force here and McLean does a fantastic job on keeping the energy moving with her style and fitting delivery. A big dance floor mover for me and one that would immediately bring the crowd into a frenzy.
I have taken the 12” house dance mix of “Make Your Move For Love” and rebuilt the piece for a new ReStructure Mix. Taking those hard hitting street beats and chopping them into a new arrangement and placing some new breaks internally are the additions to this power track.

ReStructure Mix Update (7/23/26): “Bitten By The Love Bug” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Heaven ‘N’ Hell Orchestra
Heaven ‘N’ Hell Orchestra is a dream disco production and many of the talent are members of Salsoul Orchestra ensemble including The Sweethearts Of Sigma on vocals. This was a part of a soundtrack for a comedy titled “Nocturna” which is the story of Dracula’s daughter visiting New York for the first time and falling in love with a mortal and disco nightlife. “Bitten By The Love Bug” is a track used in disco sequences and is a love song directed at the theme of the film with vampires taking most of the credit. The true disco arrangement and execution are the sounds that are a segment of New York disco music in its final glory during 1979. Produced by Reid Whitelaw and Norman Bergen with Don Renaldo on strings.This number is not the most attentive approach for a disco gem although it contains many players who made disco music a big part of 70’s history.
I have taken the album version of “Bitten By The Love Bug” and placed the disco arrangement on a new rotation for this ReStructure Mix. I have added a new drum/percussion track to give it a transition to the electronic age and yet celebrated the strings, percussion and vocals that are pure disco once again.

ReStructure Mix Update (7/22/26): “Fruit Of Love” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Transformer 2
Transformer 2 is an electronic/trance project from 1993 featuring Jeff Vanbockryck and Johan Gielen. During the early 90’s the house music movement brought a fusion of various sounds and helped to create techno, trance, rave and ambient styles of dance productions. “Fruit Of Love” is their 1992 single which blends a sweet sound of distant bagpipes into a whirling techno piece and eventually an mindful ambient flow. The production from Richard Ford is a full on electronic keyboard and sequencer arrangement which finishes with a female vocal celebrating the “fruit of love” - which may be a unifying moment in the future for humanity. The essence of this style of dance music is the variation in parts and how well they blend together. Much of the late seventies innovative disco music by producers like Boris Midney who gave sweeping disco strings which would suddenly drop into a bongo break. The creative feel and beauty of the process is what we hear in this track.
I have taken the 4 versions of “Fruit Of Love” from the 12” single and realigned the best of these parts in this ReStructure Mix. The intro plays out in the majestic guitar solo which becomes the center of our journey.
