ReStructure Mix Update (2/4/20) “Gimme Love” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Cellophane

Cellophane is Alessandro Novaga and Giorgio Paganini. This Italo-disco project is from 1983 and 1984 and relays another progressive move in dance music. The synthetic sound of dance music during the early 80’s was an emulation of the disco was hearing in the late 70’s. As groups like Cellophane tweaked and reworked the electronics of Italo-disco their new edge was this abstract delivery in pieces and edits using vocoders and ecstatic riffs to color there canvas. It was much like what Art Of Noise did for the “beat street” sound of the 80’s. “Gimme Love” is their initial single from 1983 which evoked a hardcore delivery of their work. This one sounds like a Moroder piece from his experimental board on steroids and a dot of acid. A nice 80’s Italo-disco piece which marks a period where new hands rework the formula with glorious results.

I have taken the 12” version of “Gimme Love” and transformed the original parts into a new ReStructure Mix. This homage to the Italo-disco of the 80’s plays out in a way that is familiar to Cellophane’s tradition. It is given a few new breaks and twists and tweaks.
