ReStructure Mix Update (6/29/21) “Under The Boardwalk” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Tom Tom Club

Tom Tom Club is a spin off from Talking Heads led by Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz. Their big club hit “Genius Of Love” from 1981 gave them a led in an alternative synth-pop dance arena. Always a sense of creativity and innovation in their sound and approach to dance music. “Under The Boardwalk” is a cover of The Drifters 1964 pop/soul hit. This again another creative approach at a remake where a reggae stylized rhythm is applied and the cartoonish-like vocals fit perfectly and snug in their place. This was a big hit for my club and also for many nights where a wind-down was required and this one always worked magically.

I have taken the 12” version of “Under The Boardwalk” and reapplied the rhythms here to a new ReStructure Mix. The original plays a part in this version and also gives way to a longer and more laid back arrangement.
