ReStructure Mix Update (2/20/26): ”Square Rooms” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Al Corley

Al Corley is best known for his part in the 80’s television series “Dynasty” and during the mid-80’s his brief solo music recording career beginning with a project produced by Munich producer, Harold Faltermeyer (“Axel F”, “Thief Of Hearts”) - the project included his dance single from 1984 titled “Square Rooms”. A moody piece of 80’s pop-dance with a definite style along with Al’s vocals which belong in this time period. Production features Faltermeyer’s experience with his work alongside Giorgio Moroder and Donna Summer with a pulsing bass sequencer and piercing keyboards luring us into the somewhat destined loss of heart. A nice start on the dance floor for the time period to make his mark early.

I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental of “Square Rooms” and reworked a new episode for this ReStructure Mix. A new downbeat pounds out the first half of this remix and a new fading exit which haunts us with Al’s vocal riff.

ReStructure Mix Update (2/17/26): ”Popcorn” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – M and H Band

ReStructure Mix Update (2/17/26): ”Popcorn” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – M and H Band

M and H Band is French producer, Mark Haliday (hence the ‘M’ and ‘H’). His concept group for a late 80’s cover of the pop-experimental song “Popcorn” from 1972 which introduced many to the Moog synthesizer with its bubbly melody and rolling sequencers. The original qualifies as one of the early innovative pop tracks to be identified as “disco”. Halliday uses a “scat” riff to complete his cover of the piece and layers many riffs over his audio canvas. One of the best disco versions of this classic with some self identifying parts of its own. With the move forward through technology this cover and the original are definitely a big part of dance history.

I have taken the 12” versions of M and H Band’s cover of “Popcorn” to realign them into an abstract version for this ReStructure Mix. Using the whole emphasis of a trip about to take place to give the arrangement a new feel and somewhat experimental take once again.

ReStructure Mix Update (2/15/26): ”Goodbye Stranger” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Pepsi and Shirlie

ReStructure Mix Update (2/15/26): ”Goodbye Stranger” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Pepsi and Shirlie

Pepsi and Shirlie are Pepsi DeMacque and Shirlie Holliman - prior to their duo releases both were backup singers for the group WHAM! in the early 80’s. “Goodbye Stranger” is their 1987 single from their project titled “All Right Now” - produced by Pete Hammond. One of the tracks which made them a club favorite during the time period and also gave them a spot as an exciting new duo. The emphasis on “Goodbye Stranger” is a dismissal of excitement during the first meeting of a potential love interest - but according to our gals it was just not meant to be. The stripped down production of the 12” single is a house piece where the song is stripped down to its bare and a thumping house bass is inserted. Another serenade to that house movement in the late 80s.

I have taken the 12” versions of “Goodbye Stranger” and recreated a new venture for this ReStructure Mix. Using the original percussion pieces and bass I have assembled a new intro and drop out for this number.

ReStructure Mix Update (2/14/26): ”Now Baby Now” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Kano

ReStructure Mix Update (2/14/26): ”Now Baby Now” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Kano

Kano is an Italian disco project from Luciano Ninzatti, Stefano Pulga and Matteo Bonsanto. Their 1980 single “I’m Ready” helped to bridge the edge of electronic funk and the heavy synthesizer foundation of Italo-disco. One of the moments in dance history where the dance floor took immediate notice and followed. “Now Baby Now” is also from their first self-titled album and is another experimental move on the musicians wizardry to blend rhythm with pieces of their electronic arsenal. Clap patterns that range from stomping echoes to a high energy chorus which blends into this night where it is time to take your baby out “now”. The Italian disco theme during the early 80’s was more of a bubbly sound where these men took it down where the beats and groove are moving in a serious funk direction.

I have taken the album version of “Now Baby Now” and stripped it down for this ReStructure Mix revisit. Taking the premise into a more dub and beat pounding arrangement where the freedom to move is what you hear.
