REISSUE: "Beat Of The Night" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Fever

 

REISSUE: "Beat Of The Night" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Fever This was the project which may have encompassed all that was disco and everyone who pulled disco throughout the 80's. Featuring Patrick Cowley on synthesizers and Tip Wirrick (Sylvester) on guitar The Waters (Clydene, Julian, and Maxine) on vocals and produced by Dale Reed, Marty Blechman (Megatone Records) and John Hedges (Lisa, Shawn Benson, etc.). Complete and complex. This LP was a non-stop dancing fest of energy and anything that was "disco". The title cut, "Beat Of The Night" made everyones top 10 list during this time. Released in 1979 on Fantasy Records, this one was a powerhouse and remains one of the top favorite among disco collectors. I have put off many times ReStructuring "Beat Of The Night" not sure how to polish this one even more. Using the beat track alone to enhance the breaks was my turn without wanting to damage the original sound. Not too much but arranging and looping to keep this one in it's somewhat original form. Dedicated to DJ Joey Luciano, Kerim, Alan and Rick from "Back To Disco" -long live "The Beat"!
