ReStructure Mix Update (7/7/26): “New Beat, A Musical Phenonemon” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – The Brotherhood Of Sleep

The Brotherhood Of Sleep is a Belgium New Beat project from Herman Gillis, Jo Casters and Roland Beelen. “New Beat, A Musical Phenonemon” is their 1989 release on the Subway Records label and stands as an anthem to the Belgium Beat movement of the time. New Beat music has always been similar to house music where the beats and bass are the mainline attributes which make up the style. It is a simple formula which allows producers, DJs and garage musicians to weave and create unique and sometimes very odd subjects to follow. This piece has all of those elements and packages it in a mystical story of wizards and classic soul moments. The New Beat revolution of the time would not be complete without this simple yet overall stamp of this dance floor magnet.

I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental versions of “New Beat, A Musical Phenonemon” and added to the salute to the sounds with this ReStructure Mix. I have added a news heavy bongo-driven beat to the mix to add more of that underground feel to our anthem remix.

ReStructure Mix Update (7/4/26): “Living In Oblivion” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Anything Box

ReStructure Mix Update (7/4/26): “Living In Oblivion” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Anything Box

Anything Box is a dance project from producer Jon St. James who also gave us Stacy Q (“Two Of Hearts”) and Bardeaux (“Three Time Lover”). This project features Claude Strillo who provides vocals and also arranges and programs synthesizers. “Living In Oblivion” is a single from their 1990 project titled “Peace” and follows the high energy mold of the 80’s with its melodic and plea for a sense of knowledge in life. This one has been compared to Limahl’s “Never Ending Story” with the somewhat whimsical feel of both music and vocals. It is one of the big pop-dance tracks of 1990 and also helped to bring back the lyrical disco sound which always seemed to be welcomed by dance floors throughout time.

I have taken the 12” versions of “Living In Oblivion” and blended parts and pieces of the mixes into a new ReStructure Mix. I have painted the same fantasy feel over with more emphasis on the song's appeal for beauty.

ReStructure Mix Update (7/3/26): “Action” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – La Bionda

ReStructure Mix Update (7/3/26): “Action” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – La Bionda

La Bionda are Carmelo and Michelangelo La Bionda - who are brothers and helped to formulate early Italian disco music. “Action” is from their 1980 project titled “I Wanna Be Your Lover” which presented a more predominant electronic edge that was becoming the 80s dance sound. This wavy-synthed track features a percolating synth-keyboard in arpeggio state laying out an odd but infectious rhythm where our desirous storyteller exposes how he wants to be a part of what is happening out there. It has some simple riffs that give the technical end of the track a nice contrast to its source. La Bionda was here in a discovery stage and their talents in disco music are further examined.

I have taken the 12” version of “Action” and have taken piece by piece into a new ReStructure Mix. New base beats pound below and some neutral effects pop in and out of this new arrangement.

ReStructure Mix Update (7/2/26): “Passengers For Mexico” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Passengers

ReStructure Mix Update (7/2/26): “Passengers For Mexico” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Passengers

Passengers are an Italian disco ensemble featuring Chuck Rolando, Elwanda Contreras, Kathleen Flynn and Gesualdo Arena - produced by Angelo Piccarreta and Felice Piccarreda who also brought us disco groups Nuggets and V.I.S.A. - and also featured the late music composer and arranger Mr. Celso Valli. “Passengers For Mexico” is a single from their self-titled second album released in 1980. This piece is a disco arrangement with all of the dedication to the theme which lightly gives us a travel ignition south of the border. It features some fierce castanets and Flamenco guitar riffs which paint a more enticing lure to this simple yet alluring song. The vocals are a falsetto and bring the men up a few levels to where they maintain their usual key. The Celso Valli influence became the excitement for myself when the group released a new track since his work always reflected creativity and a disco trip worth taking.

I have taken the 12” version of “Passengers For Mexico” and reworked the track for a new outline for this ReStructure Mix. I have added a Mariachi segment to give this trip a new break and also used new beats to pound out the stomping excitement.
