Squash Gang is Cristina Manzano, Francisco Quijada and José Quijada. The ensemble from Sabadell, Spain released several electronic dance tracks from 1986 through 2009 – their most notable being “Moving Your Hips” from 1987. In the Italo-disco vein this tracks is heavily pounding with cathedral-like keyboards and a few scratch riffs. It is a bit haunting and resonates as an 80’s electronic dance piece should.
I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental of “Moving Your Hips” and recreated a new ReStructure Mix to pay homage not only to the trio but also the lasting feel of Italo-disco. The song was one of the big hits in my club and one of my fondest memories of it is watching a crowded dance floor get lost in it.
