ReStructure Mix Update (12/12/21) “That’s What Keeps ‘Em Dancin’” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Persia

 


Persia is disco project produced by 70’s pop-singer/songwriter Kenny Nolan (“I Like Dreamin'”) and features Zell Black (“I Been Had By The Devil”) along with Munich engineer Jurgen Koppers. Their self-titled project from 1979 was known to many discophiles thanks to their first single from the album titled “Inch By Inch”. The group was obviously formulated to be a disco band and unfortunately was a closing of the disco era of timing. “That’s What Keeps ‘Em Dancin’” is another track from the project which always reminded me of the pop-essence of disco music and the influence it created. The piece has a touch of a light-rock feel and may have been that energy which brought the disco era to the success it became.

I have taken the album version of “That’s What Keeps ‘Em Danciin'’” and relit this flame for a new ReStructure Mix. I have added a techno-edge to the new outline and pieced together the disco-rockin’ sound to bring a tribute to Kenny Nolan, Jurgen Koppers and vocalist, Ms. Zell Black.
