ReStructure Mix Update (4/26/26): ”Love Can Do”” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Blue Tattoo

Blue Tattoo is an Italo-house project from Stefano Secchi - who is also known for his track “I Say Yeah” and “Keep On Jammin’”. Italo-house music was ignited with tracks like “Ride On Time” by Black Box and the sampling sensation which began to write a whole new fusion of arrangements. “Love Can Do” is one of the followers which takes samples of Whitney Houston’s “So Emotional” and translates the phrases into a new abstract dance number. The rhythm of this combination works with the similar arrangement in piano and percussion track outlining the song. It is one of the Italo-disco moments which helped to catapult similar bands and tracks as this in the early 90’s creating the Euro-house movement.

I have taken the 12” versions of “Love Can Do” and some new pieces of Whitney’s “So Emotional” and reworked it for this new ReStructure Mix. I have given the remix a new twist using the original acapella and laid out a new foundation for it.

ReStructure Mix Update (4/25/26): ”Get Up” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Mr. Peach

ReStructure Mix Update (4/25/26): ”Get Up” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Mr. Peach

Mr. Peach is a house music project featuring Deryck Venables, James Ryan and Matthew Roberts. Their 1992 single “Get Up” is one of the underground pieces which tied together a kickin’ house program for the dance floors during the period. “Get Up” has many riffs and solid rhythmic qualities - all that center around the chorus “get up”! It is one of the singles released with several alternative dub mixes which make it a contender for those sets which include killer rhythm pieces. The house music movement relied heavily on the dub context of a track and this one fulfills all of these outlines. The four kick ass mixes relay a variation of energy and the time of the night which helps in making programming choices.

I have taken the 12” versions of “Get Up” and reworked the entirety of remixes into one ReStructure Mix. There are drop in- and outs which feed the energy itself along with layering which makes the track even more intense.

ReStructure Mix Update (4/24/26): ”Black Jack” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – The ‘V’ Project

The ‘V’ Project is a high energy project from producer Vincent Degiorgio who also gave us Tapps, Crystal In The Pink, Shezoray, Eria Fachin and Barbara Doust. A well and knowledgeable producer who took the mid-80s for an opportunity to keep the dance floors hot in the disco tradition. “Black Jack” is his 1985 cover of the Baciotti song originally released in 1977. Degiorgio takes advantage of each of the rhythmic outlines of the song and gives it a more lustful and enticing edge. The vocals flow nicely with the arrangement and as intended relay a touch of mystique to the song. High energy music is an electronic form of the disco arrangement from the late 70s and in this venture The ‘V” Project (obviously ‘Vince’ Project) takes this classic disco song right back where it left off only in a new technical stage of musical production.

I have taken the 12” vocal and dub versions of The ‘V’ Projects “Black Jack” and rewound the energy into a new ReStructure Mix. Laying out the mysterious keyboards into a new arrangement which places the song again in a new environment.

ReStructure Mix Update (4/23/26): ”Party Song” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Sticky Fingers

ReStructure Mix Update (4/23/26): ”Party Song” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Sticky Fingers

Sticky Fingers is a disco project from veteran disco producer Ian Guenther and Willi Morrison - who also gave us The Grand Tour, THP Orchestra, Southern Exposure, Ramming Speed and The Duncan Sisters. “Party Song” is the last track on the Sticky Fingers project which also features Phyllis and Helen Duncan on lead vocals. Released on the disco label Prelude Records in 1978 and became a dance floor must for the time period. This low BPM disco/funk number gives a jam session for the musicians to play out the never ending house party occurring in our song. The fantastic vocals of Helen and Phyllis are one of the big spectacles of this production which captures their diversity in delivery and excitement. Each project from Morrison and Guenther pushes the electronic fusion in their arrangement and this one pours it on thick successfully. A must for the Prelude Records disco album collector who knows the true direction of where disco music was headed in the late seventies in appeal.

I have taken the album version of “Party Song” and have spaced the original into new segments for this ReStructure Mix. I have placed a new beat and kick to the funky arrangement to give it a new resonance as well as a new direction.

ReStructure Mix Update (4/22/26): ”Matter Of Time” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Ooscha

ReStructure Mix Update (4/22/26): ”Matter Of Time” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Ooscha

Ooscha is a garage/house project from Eric Miller (E-Smooth) and Joey Carvello with remix production by Maurice Joshua. “Matter Of Time” is beautifully sung in an illusive yet distinctive style and gives off the essence of tracks by synth-pop trio Expose. Keyboards lead the way with several riffs which are in the Chicago house feel using chords repeated to give the rhythmic sound. The nice drops within the arrangement are a nice temporary drop in energy and disguising the emotion of the song where our heroine is so in love it is driving her out of her mind. It has a sweet quality which pounds out the house elements in a lovely way.

I have taken the 12” version, dub and a segment of “Mo’s Mix” of “Matter Of Time” to redirect the track in a new ReStructure Mix. More of the key elements which make up the song's strength are used more as an outline in this remix.
