REISSUE: "Don't Stop" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Motion





REISSUE: "Don't Stop" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Motion

Motion is a Canadian production from Gino D' Orazio and Tony Bentivegna - a production team who also brought to dance floors, Blue Lazer, Ladies Choice and Nightlife Unlimited. The changing sound of disco music in the early 80s became electronic and infused with the keyboards which introduced a new technology of sound for the period.

"Don't Stop" is from Motion's first LP and was one of their most memorable tracks - it has a rolling bass sequencer that is the main formula for most of the projects of the time but work best with the infectious chorus and simple yet effective vocal. This ReStructure Mix breaks the song into many spots and adds a longer break arrangement. My attachment to this song came during a time when disco and high energy were being reintroduced to a whole new dance crowd.
