ReStructure Mix Update (5/8/26): ”Joy” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Staxx


Staxx is Simon Thorne and Tom Jones - a house music project featuring Carol Leeming on lead vocals. Their 1993 single “Joy” is one of the high points of house music in general. It has a fusion of techno lightly sprinkled throughout the piece with an uplifting energy which is truly infectious. This project is a formula which made house music the leading edge during the 90s. Also known as So Damn Tuff in prior productions this group delivers the title “joy” over and over again with a slammin’ outline and wonderful mood.

I have taken the 12” “Lovejoy Vocal” mix of “Joy” and revamped the energy for this new ReStructure Mix. There is a delay in the intro for the drama purposes and more of Carol’s exciting vocal.

ReStructure Mix Update (5/4/26): ”Roll” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Macho


Macho is a disco project from producer Jacques Fred Petrus - who also gave us Change, Rudy, Peter Jacques Band, Hi-Gloss, Revanche, Midnight Gang and Caprice. Along with arrangers Mauro Malavasi and Celso Valli, they brought disco music to its destination with the many dance floor hits and impressions left. Macho is one of their early projects from 1978 where a disco-fied version of Steve Winwood’s “I’m A Man” was taken into an electronic fantasy disco style. From there on the creativity was endless for their projects. “Roll” is from the second Macho project from 1980 and builds as the palate for their music always has. A fierce heavy guitar strom builds into a revelation of adventure and staking claim in constant roaming. It is a great follow up for those who are fans of Petrus and Malavasi along with their choice of chorus vocalist including Luther Vandross and Arthur Simms. 

I have taken the album version of “Roll” and re-initiated another trip for this ReStructure Mix. Stretching out the intro for the new direction and also providing more space for this infectious track to make it mark.

ReStructure Mix Update (5/3/26): ”I Fear The Night” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Tyree


Tyree is a rap artist who released a 1987 house track titled “I Fear The Night” - also featuring his sister on lead vocal under the name of Chic. A fusion of early 80s street-beat and underground house music are blended here in a dub-like arrangement. Electronic syn-drums pound out the robotic feel of this cautionary tale of a woman who finds a reluctance to head out for a night of partying due to her paranoid placement. The vocal is more of a documentary of our heroine's terror of a force which she knows will meet her if she were to venture into the night up to a vibrato of operatic tones. The drums provide the narrative groove in that 80s genre and breaks are as generous as the instrumental. 

I have taken the 12” version and dub of “I Fear The Night” and re-administered a new place for this ReStructure Mix. Using the existing drums to recreate the arena in which this innovative piece helped to shape the style of house music during the 80s.

ReStructure Mix Update (5/1/26): ”Kid Get Hyped” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Deskee


Deskee (Derrick Crumpley) is a house artist who brought the recipe for dance floors of the early 90s. Throughout the mid-80s house music began as an alternative mix for pop-dance tracks which began a formula for the clubs to dance into another layer of music. This was created as a response to dance floors and club patrons so its message was easily felt and understood. “Kid Get Hyped” is an anthem for house music not only does our main man pay tribute to the genre - our producer and conductor is Westbam who began in the electronic alternative dance genre and is one of the creators who helped bring the music to its popularity. The pumping energy is what house music was all about - rejoice! A nice blend of house, new beat and alternative dance that is evident from each layer.

I have taken the 12” versions of “Kid Get Hyped” and applied more of the means for this ReStructure Mix. The guest spot by 80’s rap group Planet Patrol is given more of the energy and diverse sound it created for history.
