ReStructure Mix Update (3/25/26): ”Sweet Images” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Chant


Chant is a techno/ambient project from Italian DJ/producer Giuseppe Troccoli. “Sweet Images” is his 1999 single - produced by Marco Dalle Luche. This powerful trance piece is one of the great techno/ambient singles which saturates all of the energy and resonance in this genre of dance music. A celtic feel with a touch of the magnetic edge that ambient music is best known for with a build that encompasses the momentum of an anthem. “Sweet Images” incorporates a vocoder on the main vocal placing it in an arena which sounds like a place of worship with autotone qualities. Indeed one of the fantasy-dance numbers of its time with plenty of energy to give it a nice crossover for peak time.

I have taken the 12” versions of “Sweet Images” and directed the ambient energy for this new ReStructure Mix. More of the excitement opens this new arrangement with more of the components which make this one a classic alternative dance track.

ReStructure Mix Update (3/24/26): ”Make Love To Me” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Helen Reddy


Helen Reddy is an Australian-American singer who began her recording career in 1971. Many of her well-known songs are a part of American culture during the late 60s and early 70s. Helen released a disco project in 1979 titled “Reddy” and featured her single “Make Love To Me” - a cover of Kelly Marie’s number released the prior year. The Reddy production from Frank Day displays a session featuring Eddie Watkins Jr on bass and contains the disco sprinkles acceptable for the time. In this rendition Helen sounds comfortable and able to relay the yearning verses in a credulous manner. The single did quite well for the time as this was the disco heyday where many artists known and new were giving it their shot on a dance floor hit.

I have taken the 12” version of Helen Reddy’s “Make Love To Me” and rewired the piece for a new ReStructure Mix. There are some new percussion riffs added to power up the number and a longer interlude to the lilting chorus.

ReStructure Mix Update (3/21/26): ”Dirge” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – The Dream Girls


The Dream Girls is a studio ensemble from producers Martyn Norris and Richard Cottle - and features on vocals Adrienne Loehry, Hannah Jones, and Jackie Rawe. This project has taken the tracks “And I Am Telling You (I’m Not Going)” and a few disco classics to create a 90s point of view of each in a successful electronic production. “Dirge” is the B-side to their 1993 cover of Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love” - and features the instrumental talents of Graham Willcocks (Gemini Jones) in a trance/ambient piece which captures some beautiful moments. The funky guitars which serenade the melodic interludes create wonderful breezy moments where the dance beat and fantasy unite. It is one of the rare b-sides where I felt the need to flip this side up for a dance-trance set.

I have taken the 12” version of “Dirge” and recreated a new direction for this ReStructure Mix. Laying a heavy dose of percussion and beats to lead this one once again onto an amazing path.

ReStructure Mix Update (3/20/26): ”Love Is Calling” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Pleasure Game


Pleasure Game are Bruno Van Garsse, Jacky Meurisse, Michel Nachtergaele and Philippe Dhondt - a Belgium based group developed with the hardcore new beat sound and eventually becoming a Euro-house band. “Love Is Calling” is their single from 1992 - produced by Bruno Van Garsse and follows alongside the techno-pop releases of the time period from Dr. Alban, Culture Beat and Captain Hollywood Project. The various remix versions are more directed towards the new beat and techno arena where a dub edge is explored. Vocals appear in segments blending the direction into a more vaporized meaning and yet the experimental sound is more of the attraction here.

I have taken the 12” versions including the techno dubs of “Love Is Calling” and readministered a new edge for this ReStructure Mix. The function of these various techniques are outlined with moderate fades and drops which give it the new beat edge it was intended to attack.
