ReStructure Mix Update (4/30/20) “Vibes” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – African Suite

African Suite is a disco project from producer Ritchie Rome – who also brought us The Ritchie Family, Westside Strutters and Flower. His movement here is a theme in a mystical disco ream in a fantasy in Africa. The title of the project speaks to itself. “Vibes” is a piece from a medley where whispery femme narrators outline strange phrases and mystical chants. One of the nice elements here are the drums and percussion which were the building blocks of the late 70’s disco period. Although Rome created a very strange production it plays out very well in the disco realm of adventure and mystery. One of those early morning sounds that I always admired.

I have taken the album version of “Vibes” and recreated a new ReStructure Mix to pay tribute to Ritchie Rome and this project. More deep pounding drums are added to give the new version a facelift as well as a new arrangement.
