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
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.

ReStructure Mix Update (10/15/26): “Music Are You Ready" – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – C.D. Band
C.D. Band is a French disco group with Benjamin Tuizir, Patrick Boceno and Sharon Woods - produced by Patrick Boceno. The project is titled “Hoodoo Voodoo” and reflects the year it was released which is 1979 - the disco wave. Many producers took part in creating for the dance floor as it had become a lucrative move in the music industry. Also, the need to be heard and the discotheques were the place to be, at the time. “Music Are You Ready” is the early anthem on the album and moves in the steps of a hardcore strike and the production is a light sample of the overall sound of these pieces. They maintain an ability to work at the right time and place yet it is somewhat obvious that it may have been a rush job to beat the bombardment of disco releases that saturated the market of 1979.
I have taken the album version of “Music Are You Ready” and relit the fire below this underdog for this ReStructure Mix. I have layered up some of the percussion tracks and placed bits and slices of the production for a new layout on the arrangement.
