ReStructure Mix Update (9/9/20) “Let’s Make It” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Valerie Allington

Valerie Allington is an Italo-disco artist from the early 80’s who was introduced with a track titles “Stop” released in 1982. This experimental and innovative time was perfect for Italian producer Sangy to work his 70’s influenced keyboards into the new Italian disco sound. “Let’s Make It” is her second release from 1984 also produced by Sangy and every bit as exciting and powerful. This is an uplifting message of love put into a reverberating love song that follows the edge of Kraftwerk with pieces of their hit “Numbers”. This pretty much has it all for the time period as it was always requested and I kept it alive throughout the year.

I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental versions of “Let’s Make It” and focused on a percussive foundation to represent a carnival experience. The breaks are dragged out until the groove jumps right back at the floor. It is quite a great time for this song and feeling.
