ReStructure Mix Update (6/28/26): ”Just Can’t Say Goodbye” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – The Associates

The Associates are Billy MacKenzie and Alan Rankine - a band from Scotland who began their recording career in 1980. In 1988 the band covered Blondie’s “Heart Of Glass” and became a recognizable sound on the alternative dance floor with their sleek electronic arrangements and rock edged vocal delivery. “Just Can’t Say Goodbye” is their 1990 project titled “Wild and Lonely” and is one of their most emotional singles formulated in the electronic-new beat style format. Perhaps one of the most intense vocal performances from MacKenzie which creates a dark and effective piece of the song. Mixed with style of new-beat music with its erratic beats and fusion of musical scale. The Associates were always a band attempting to achieve more from the industry where I have always felt this track is more for their fans and pleasingly so.

I have taken the 12” version of “Just Can’t Say Goodbye” and readministered the elements into a new ReStructure Mix. The moody sound of the original is broken into a new arrangement which defines the emotions and despair.

ReStructure Mix Update (6/27/26): ”Para Los Rumberos” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Tito Puente

Tito Puente is a Puerto Rican-American Latin bandleader, jazz, salsa and mambo musician. His recording career spans 1953 through the late 90’s. In 1992 the film “Mambo Kings” brought his music back to the clubs and in a house fusion a few of his classic Mambo numbers were reborn for a new audience. “Para Los Rumberos” ("For the rumba dancers" or "For the partygoers") is from his 1972 album by the same name - the piece was also recorded by Santana. This fierce number is translated with a house keyboard touch and deep bass which makes the track alive once again. It is one of the great examples of why this man is called “The King of Latin Music”.

I have taken the 1992 12” remix of “Para Los Rumberos” from Masters At Work and their incredible talents on this dance overhaul into a ReStructure Mix to give Tito Puente his spotlight once again!

ReStructure Mix Update (6/26/26): ”Romantic Love” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – The Ritchie Family

ReStructure Mix Update (6/26/26): ”Romantic Love” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – The Ritchie Family

The Ritchie Family is a dream-disco group from producer Jacques Morali - who also gave dance floors Village People, Patrick Juvet, Gypsy Lane and Dennis Parker. “Romantic Love” comes from their second album titled “Arabian Nights” from 1976. It is undeniably a Euro-disco flavor with more strings and melody along with dance floor riffs supplying the glue to hold it all together. The Mantovani piano and string touches give it a majestic touch along with the gals Cassandra Ann Wooten, Cheryl Mason Jacks and Gwendolyn Oliver who “woo” us with their delicate and energizing vocal teaming. “Romantic Love” comes off as a sweet and sometimes silly love song with a Broadway intention yet it displays this trio and their early music which became one of the catalysts and shifts in pop music during the mid-70s.

I have taken the album version of “Romantic Love” and played out the drama in a ReStructure Mix that places more chopping on the block. A few pieces of percussion added from Tasha Thomas’ “Midnight Rendezvous” are laid out as the groove for this remixure.

ReStructure Mix Update (6/22/26): ”Tomorrow” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – The Communards

ReStructure Mix Update (6/22/26): ”Tomorrow” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – The Communards

The Communards are Jimmy Sommerville (vocalist from Bronski Beat) and Richard Coles. The duo had several hits during the mid and late 80’s with covers of The Jackson 5’s “Never Can Say Goodbye” and Thelma Houston’s “Don’t Leave Me This Way” where Sommerville transferred a whole new energy and excitement to these hits with his unique falsetto vocal approach. The electronic accompaniment is also a lasting piece of their success where many segments of each song are broken down and then lifted right back where the energy is contagious. “Tomorrrow” is a symphonic and climatic piece with the intent of a love leaving an abusive and done relationship is the cry making him stronger. Somerville once again revives his intense focus on the emotion with much affect. The track was produced by Stephen Hague and pulls this duo into another historic mark of their music.

I have taken the 12” versions of “Tomorrow” into a new ReStructure Mix and spared a few new crescendos for this outline. There are a few new breaks with vocal segments again emphasizing the power of Sommerville’s talent.
