ReStructure Mix Update (1/12/20) “Looking From A Hilltop” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Section 25







Section 25 is an alternative electronic band formed by Lawrence and Vincent Cassidy and featured early work from Bernard Sumner of New Order. This experimental group created early sounds of acid house music which took over dance floors in the late 80’s accompanied by deep house and techno influences. “Looking From A Hilltop” is their 1984 single which uses electro-beats and hard hitting bass thumps to create a pattern of weaving music. More styled as music by groups like Cabaret Voltaire and which later became the Razormaid era of music. The track is one dub-like production that makes the beat feel like lashes from a whip. It was always a great after hours piece for me and many elements still keep the moment of creation alive.

I have taken the 12” “Megamix” version of “Looking From A Hilltop” and recreated a mystic-like version for this ReStructure Mix. This piece plays homage to the ever changing sound of dance music throughout history and the many influences of its success.
