REISSUE: "The Natives Are Restless" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Ray Martinez and Friends

Ray Martinez became the Miami-disco genius following his production and arrangement of "Get Off Your Aahh! And Dance" by Foxy in 1976 - a new sound was emerging with the beauty of touch dancing and the funky edge of soul. This became the sound which Martinez mastered well. Soon, pieces of tracks like "Get Of Your Aahh! And Dance" became familiar as television themes and ad marketing.

His productions with his studio concept group Amant during 1978 gave his touch in music a new sophistication and style. In the early 80's Ray continued to produce singles and projects and Ray Martinez and Friends was released as a 12" single with "Lady Of The Night" and "The Natives Are Restless" - where "Natives Are Restless" became a mix additive for many medleys and DJ mix projects.

I have taken the drum oriented piece and ReStructured it adding a new bass track and also giving it a break and measured chorus line. It is one of the greatest themes and early morning pieces I have used on the dance floor.

Dedicated to Ray Martinez for his love and craft in creating beautiful music to move with.
