ReStructure Mix Update (10/25/26): “Born To Love" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Claudja Barry

Claudja Barry is a talent that is unique in itself. Her music has always been the disco period as it began in Munich, Germany with many musicians and artists growing with the genre. She is more known to hardcore disco music connoisseurs for her big 1978 dance floor classic “(Boogie Woogie) Dancin' Shoes” which was produced by her husband Jugen Kodorlech (Lipstique, Disco Circus). In 1984 a single titled “Born To Lover” was released and became a high energy hit. The project was produced by Jorgen Kodorlech and Bobby Orlando (The Flirts, Divine, Bonnie Forman) with an electronic arrangement in Orlando’s “wall of 80s disco” sound. The track feels like a 60s teen-rebel anthem that may have been recorded by The Chiffons. This fast moving number gives Claudja an opportunity to allow her vocals to source in the chorus and bridge. It is one of the Claudja Barry pieces that were underground and helped to keep the 80s moving in a high energy fashion.

I have taken the original 12” version and the 1985 remix of “Born To Love” and laid out more of the defiance in this ReStructure Mix. A use of percussion and a new beat foundation help this new version lead the energy right back at you again.

ReStructure Mix Update (10/23/26): “Keep Your Hands Off That Man" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Illusive

ReStructure Mix Update (10/23/26): “Keep Your Hands Off That Man" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Illusive

Illusive is a 1992 house/techno project from high-energy producer Ian Anthony Stephens (Paul Parker, Hazell Dean, Madleen Kane, The Flirtations, Marsha Raven) along with Jocelyn Brown. This fast moving number places a single phrase into an electronic groove and makes it last. There is a definite 90’s feel to this one with the success of both house music from the end of the 80s and the Euro-dance techno edge. A pulsating bass line using the pumping house keyboards make an infectious dance track. One of the pieces in this genre which stands out is not only that Jocelyn plays her part well here - it is also a transition for Ian Anthony Stephens from high energy to a new dance floor genre.

I have taken the 12” versions of “Keep Your Hands Off That Man” and broke apart and reassembled this hot number for a new ReStructure Mix. A paved way is provided where each segment uses a new groove pattern to keep building.

ReStructure Mix Update (10/22/26): “Eye Of The Tiger" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Nighthawk

ReStructure Mix Update (10/22/26): “Eye Of The Tiger" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Nighthawk

Nighthawk is an 80s electronic dance project from producer Jerry Jones (Brenda and The Tabulations, Denise LaSalle, Blue Magic, Keith Barrow, Dennis Coffey) with a single from 1982 which is a cover of rock-group Survivor's “Eye Of The Tiger” from “Rocky III”. The early 80s was an intense period for a transition from 70s disco to a new sound which became more electronic in many forms where the hardcore dance floor tracks emulated the energy of disco music. Nighthawk covers “Eye Of The Tiger” with a slick play with clap tracks which divide the downbeat into segments and also gives it a hard-edge as influenced by the original energy. The lead vocal was the find here as it takes the rock feel and pulls off a soulful performance. The production is more of a keyboard extravaganza with all ends pointed in a deserved solo in each segment.

I have taken the vocal and “Souped-Up Instrumental” of Nighthawk’s “Eye Of The Tiger” and reapplied the energy in a new way for this ReStructure Mix. There is a new intro for the dramatics of an entrance and also a slow fade out to the need for more.

ReStructure Mix Update (10/20/26): “Someone That I Used To Love" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Norma Lewis

ReStructure Mix Update (10/20/26): “Someone That I Used To Love" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Norma Lewis

Norma Lewis is a high-energy diva extravaganza! Her music has taken dance floors to every emotional state. From her 1983 rousing rendition of “Maybe This Time” from “Cabaret” to her “Tonight (Dancing With The Desperate) her vocals have always made dance music a shining place to discover the dramatic side of disco. “Someone That I Used To Love” is her cover of the 1980 Natalie Cole song which is a sensitive direction for finally letting go of a lost love. The growing emotion within the number is achieved here with Norma’s outstanding diction and flowing emotional commitment to the song. It is one of the pieces from 1999 which returned high-energy with a touch of techno edged keyboards lighting the way. It was produced by John Williams and Paul Middleton.

I have taken the 12” “Strongroom Club Mix” and reworked the drama of “Someone That Used To Love” in this new ReStructure Mix. I have placed several new dropout areas for a revving up of the tearful energy here.
