ReStructure Mix Update (9/7/20) “I Wanna Groove” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Arlene Duncan

Arlene Duncan is a Canadian singer who also records under the name of Kairene. Her single “I Wanna Groove” from 1982 was produced by Ian Guenther and Willi Morrison who are better known as THP Orchestra. This duo also produced The Duncan Sisters (no relation to these ladies), Sticky Fingers, Southern Comfort and The Grand Tour. THP move into the 80’s was a daring time since music was morphing from a full scale disco production which these two men helped to create, into am 80’s synth-pop sound. This track has a heavy jamming beat which outlines the disco feel but the keyboards and arrangements we simple I assume to test the waters of the dance floors at the time. The track has a moving energy that maintains THP’s reputation and is brought here again to remind us of the 70’s to 8’s conversion of dance music.

I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental of “I Wanna Groove” and reworked a new ReStructure Mix for a new experience. I have played with the existing keyboards and bass to add more breaks and segues to the groove.
