REISSUE: “Get A Little” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Patrick Cowley


Patrick Cowley has taken the legacy of Giorgio Moroder from the mid-70’s and transformed the gadgetry of electronics and applied them with his heart and mind. Cowley’s use of keyboards and synthesizers were applied as if a 50’s sci-fi flick was in use of an extreme soundtrack. In the underground tradition of disco and club music this was again a return to the basics and the stripped production. “Get A Little” is from the album “Megatron Man” from 1981 which catapulted his dance floor fame to a higher plane than his earlier “Menergy” project. It was obvious that the 80’s were still a place for adventurous dance music. This track features the vocals of Carol McMackin, Jo-Carol Block and Lauren Carter also known as Jo-Lo.

I have taken the album version of “Get A Little” and worked some swirling effects into a new psychedelic ReStructure Mix. It is where I feel Cowley was directing his sound. There are more looped effects and drop-ins to give the song a new feel.
