"Dancing In Paradise" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - El Coco

• "Dancing In Paradise" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - El Coco

The disco explosion brought many changes to music being produced during the late seventies. A true formula had been set with the success of many forerunners being played from deejay booths – one of the studio groups that became a standard was El Coco.

After many releases from 1975 through the late seventies, producers Laurin Rinder and W. Michael Lewis found a sound that they themselves created from experiences of delving into underground discotheques.


“Dancing In Paradise” was their 1978 release featuring a defined sound for El Coco following the success of past dance floor raves (“Cocomotion”, “I’m Mad As Hell”, “Let’s Get It Together” and “Mondo Disco”). This track served as a soothing transition of keyboards from an electro-lounge meeting a Latin flair on the dance floor.

I have ReStructured “Dancing In Paradise” with the focus of keeping this sound alive as many disco classics are the underground feel of the beat itself.
