REISSUE: "Carry Me” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – El Coco

W. Michael Lewis and Laurin Rinder is El Coco. A studio concept group whose aim has always been experimental with an underground feel. During the mid-70s prior to the disco explosion there was a world of night life that was yet to be discovered. El Coco was the one of the focal directions where disco music was headed. Rinder and Lewis were the pioneers of dance music discovery and worked it properly to satisfy dance floors and the upcoming connoisseurs of this sound. Their brand has always been a sounding of syncopated electronics with a live band groove. “Carry Me” comes from their 1980 project titled “Revolución” and features vocals by Joy Cannon – who was also a part of a disco group titled Frisky (produced by Moses Dillard and Jesse Boyce). This track is another bright light for El Coco as it plays out as an anthem long before they were even known. It has a positive uplifting chorus along with loving and soul supporting lyrics. And of course that disco diva who gives it all and then some.

I have taken the album version of “Carry Me” and transported the mood into a new ReStructure Mix with more punch that it deserves. The flanging and rolling arpeggios are the outline for this tribute to the best of disco: W. Michael Lewis and Laurin Rinder.
