ReStructure Mix Update (10/9/26): “You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Dead Or Alive
Dead Or Alive is an 80’s band with lead singer Pete Burns taking the era by storm with his hard-edged vocals and energy surrounding the music itself. “You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)” is the 1984 single produced by Pete Waterman and studio session assistance by Mike Stock and Matt Aitken. The track was an instant hit and gave Dead Or Alive the opportunity to deliver to the 80s a sound which still resonates. One of the high-energy songs which crosses over several of the genres of the time and creates its own.
I have taken the 12” version of “You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" and rewired the explosion for more detonation in this ReStructure Mix. There are more drop-outs to express the power behind the piece and a few new breaks.

ReStructure Mix Update (10/7/26): “Save Me" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Village People
Village People are one of the iconic disco groups from the late 70s and a creation of producer Jacques Morali who also gave us The Ritchie Family, Dennis Parker and Patrick Juvet. This group was adorned in outfits representing the “macho” or sexy positions in laborers or themes. Becoming the top recognized disco groups and releasing some of the most identifiable songs of the time period. The 1979 double album “Sleazy” is their farewell to the disco era and features “live” concert performances and four new songs which includes “Save Me”. The lead vocal on this number is performed by Ray Simpson (Valerie Simpson’s brother) who replaced Victor Willis. The song is an anthem love song which plays out with an energy which is nothing like “Y.M.C.A.” or “Macho Man” yet it is appealing for the group to play it out. The album was produced by Jacques Morali.
I have taken the album version of “Save Me” and worked the powerful emotion into a new ReStructure Mix. The lead in is more of a dub flavor and segments are introduced with slight drop-outs and into the songs continuance.

ReStructure Mix Update (10/6/26): “We’re Celebrating" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Language
Language is James Lee and Steven Hale - an 80’s synth-pop band who released their project “Alphabet City” in 1984 - produced by Alan Shacklock. The first track of the album “We’re Celebrating” is one of the uplifting and fierce tracks that hits hard with the ominous vocals and funk-edge bass tracks. The project has the touch of modern-80s engineering and also the edge of underground-pop with a great resonance. It has some great crossover tracks which manage to stay alive in your mind since the style is approached with dedication.
I have taken the album version of “We’re Celebrating” and worked on the track for this new ReStructure Mix and the new celebration. I have edited the new arrangement with a few new breaks and some embellishment.

ReStructure Mix Update (10/4/26): “Spirits" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Gary’s Gang
Gary’s Gang is a disco band led by Gary Turnier and Eric Matthew who also produced Sharon Redd, Fast Radio, France Joli, Secret Weapon and Carol Douglas. Their big disco hit “Keep On Dancin’” from 1978 is a classic and became one of the signature songs of the disco era. “Gangbusters” is their follow-up project from 1979 and is another smooth layout of disco music with all of the right bells and whistles. “Spirits” is one of the tracks which immediately bring to mind their soft-edge where a male vocal becomes the lure of the dance floor and creates a soulful mellow approach. It has a nice melodic feel which is soothing and at the same time evokes a rhythmic reaction for the body. A nice follow up which outlines the sound which Gary’s Gang made for themselves. Band members include Al Lauricella, Bill Catalano, Bob Forman, Gary R. Turnier, Jay Leon, Joe Tucci, Rino Minetti and Eric Matthew.
I have taken the album version of “Spirits” and recreated a new arrangement for this ReStructure Mix. I have taken pieces of the original and used the wonderful riffs to align a new intro and exit for this number.

ReStructure Mix Update (10/3/26): “Night Fever" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Bee Gees
Bee Gees are Barry Gibb, Maurice Gibb and Robin Gibb - this trio of brothers created several generations of music which today stand as classics. Their contributions to the 1977 soundtrack to “Saturday Night Fever” were a huge part of the disco wave which followed. “Night Fever” is the main piece for dance floors celebrating the film's history and the power of the Gibb brothers creative force. The project as well as the history of the Bee Gees are a performance for themselves or a production for a new or known artist. “Night Fever” has always been the energy track behind the film even though the track “Stayin’ Alive” outlines the main characters struggle to make it through the rough edge of life - but that is the purpose for the song as it celebrates rejoicefully the wonders of the disco dance floor and the fantasy world it allowed. One of the greatest soundtracks of all time with one of the greatest disco songs of all time!
I have taken the vocal and instrumental of “Night Fever” and worked to create a majestic outline for this new ReStructure Mix. I have reframed the essence of the song and created some new segues for the celebration once again!
