ReStructure Mix Update (4/7/26): ”Got A Love For You” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Jomanda
Jomanda is Cheri Williams, Joanne Thomas, Renee Washington and Yavahn. One of the early garage/house groups of the late 80’s with the exploration of deep bass and rhythms igniting a chunk of the period as the experimental and fusion of alternative dance floor sounds.”Got A Love For You” is their single from 1991 - produced by Cassio Ware. A definitive moment for these ladies as this track gives us all of what they have been storing up from the inception of their presence. House music is the focus of the 12” single with additional production by Steve "Silk" Hurley and in his hard hitting style with plenty of bass, percussion and pulling out more than originally existed. The vocals are also a leading edge of this song as they give us a sample of the pulversizing strength that Jomanda can deliver as a team. One the peak songs for myself and my club as it always gave the floor the heat it needed for those weekend nights where everyone did what they came for.
I have taken the 12” version of the original and also a few pieces of a special 12” remixed 4 EQ (Produced by Backroom Productions) of “Got A Love For You’ to invigorate this new ReStructure Mix. Using the heavy bass of the Hurley mixes as the outline and the techno and hard house segments of the additional 12” remixes which always made it onto my turntable during those very sweaty nights.

ReStructure Mix Update (4/5/26): ”Anymore” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Brenda
Brenda is a Italo-house project from Alessandro Gilardi, Claudio Varola, DJ Silvio Perrone, Elisa Spreafichi, Michele Comis and Walter Cremonini. Released in 1991 this outlines the formula created from Black Box’s “Ride On Time” where sampled acapella phrases create the environment for the pumping bass and Chicago style piano riffs. With pieces from the 1989 house single “Not Gonna Do It” by Vicky Martin this track emphasizes where this girl will no longer do in an insatiable and vicious relationship. The execution is clever and makes a similar impact as the Black Box iconic track with plenty of diva calls to wake up any crowd. In the Italo-house genre this one is a stamp of excellence since it covers ground already passed yet it does so with its own.
I have taken the 12” versions of “Anymore” and dissected the original into segments for this ReStructure Mix. The mapping plays out with more inserts of Vicky Martin’s classic placed here and there for a new remix.

ReStructure Mix Update (4/4/26): ”Give Into Our Love” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Trip
Trip is a techno project from Nicole May and Sebastian Rayas. Their EP single “Fallen” was released on Sheik Records in 1990 during a transition from house music to techno and rave. The four cut EP also contained the single “Give Into Our Love” which caught my attention thanks to the vocal riff and the exuberant arrangement. Electronic music became a fusion throughout the 80’s and independent productions as these were an addition to the growth on dance floors and DJ playlists. “Give Into Our Love” is a simple track which relies on the arrangement which drops in beat and phasing for the rhythmic enhancements. One of the independent releases of the time which stand on a fusion of dance music during a transition on the dance floors.
I have taken the 12” version of “Give Into Our Love” and rewired the electronic number for a new ReStructure Mix. I have added new drum fills and percussion to pump the original method into a new experience.

ReStructure Mix Update (4/3/26): ”My Bed Is Too Big” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Blue System
Blue System is a Euro-dance project from Dieter Bohlen (Modern Talking, Lift Up) and features a sound which dance floors clamored for in the 80s. “My Bed Is Too Big” is from their 1988 project titled “Body Heat” and plays out as a lover yearns for more intimate moments and how the nights are too long without it. The project was produced by Dieter Bohlen and Luis Rodriguez. The arrangement hits hard with the deep beats and rolling bass which takes on a sensual feel with the theme projected here. It is one which helped me get the night started early on those weekend dance meets at the club and continues to be a favorite of mine.
I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental of “My Bed Is Too Big” and relayed a new message in this ReStructure Mix. Giving the new arrangement some new breaks and also a new dub feel.

ReStructure Mix Update (4/2/26): ”B-Bass” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Bass Bumpers
Bass Bumpers are a Euro-house project from Henning Reith and Caba Kroll - founded in 1990 and taking over where Technotronic and projects in the house genre began in the late 80s. “B-Bass” is a flip side to their single “Can’t Stop Dancing” with the structure of where this style of dance music had progressed from the mid-80s to the 90s. A heavy bassline structured with the patterns of recurring chords along with a Chicago-house piano where chords strike from one end of track to guide the bass. The formula is complete on “B-Bass” with the deep mysterious energy aiming at a rhythmic integration of soulful directions taking the dance floor back to the focus. The track utilizes all of the basic and best pieces to make a standard with more the outline which dancers move to best at the time. Bass Bumpers bring the samples out to where they fit into the arrangement accordingly and leave more lasting impressions to influence future productions and arrangements.
I have taken the 12” version of “B-Bass” and used the parts of the song that move the track best for this ReStructure Mix. The foundation is lifted with pieces of the recent pop-hit by Bruno Mars to accent and flavor this groove.
