ReStructure Mix Update (9/6/14) “Borderline” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Madonna

Madonna (Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone) began show business as a dancer for Patrick Hernandez during his tour of his disco hit, “Born To Be Alive” from 1979. Following her first single, “Everybody” in 1982 dance floors around the world had found a new dance diva for a new dance era. It seemed as though each release was as mature and exciting as the one prior. “Borderline” is a single from the much awaited self-titled album from 1983 – this track fills the void for 80s pop-synth with a mild electronic arrangement and the yearning confessions of Madonna. A great dance piece with more fans relating to it as her best. It was produced by Reggie Lucas of Stephanie Mills and Phyllis Hyman disco fame.

I have taken the 12” single vocal and instrumental – mixed by John "Jellybean" Benitez – and worked an alternative ReStructure Mix more fitting for a kick back memorandum with the headsets – yet demanding a dance floor, as it is full of emotion. Pulling pieces from the 12” single in parts and formulating a new flow for this beautiful number.
