ReStructure Mix Update (11/25/20) “Hey, You Should Be Dancing” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Gene Farrow

ReStructure Mix Update (11/25/20) “Hey, You Should Be Dancing” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Gene Farrow

Gene Farrow is a disco artist from 1977 and with a classic dance track titled “Hey, You Should Be Dancing” made an impact on the growing disco trend of the time. This track is an obvious take on the Bee Gee’s “You Should Be Dancing” – with a slight alteration and a heavy drum and conga outline added. This one plays out as the disco-pop sound yet with the drums and conga sections it makes a nice edge. Gene Farrow released his album in 1978 titled “Move Your Body” which contained this single and a few more pieces with a nice rhythmic outline. The song is infectious and has a bit of a sound ala-The Archie’s which is what I hear – overall a nice disco classic to remind of the huge impact the motion picture “Saturday Night Fever” made on the nightlife.

I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental dub of “Hey, You Should Be Dancing” and recreated a new pounding and tingling ReStructure Mix for this classic. I have used more of the drum breaks in a new arrangement and offered more of the verse and chorus to bring it into a new sound.
