ReStructure Mix Update (10/10/22): “Blue Monday” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – New Order

New Order is Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert – a band from UK whose big dance hit “Blue Monday” from 1983 brought an innovative hard-edged groove to life in an underground display of warped keyboards and thumping beats. The piece became an instant hit and gave the band the notoriety and label as the new-metal sound of dance music. The band created a new edge to dance music with their sound as Depeche Mode and Yaz had pronounced. 

I have taken the original 12” versions of “Blue Monday” and reassembled some of the well-known riffs as well as some of the rhythmic pieces for this ReStructure Mix. More of a play on the heartbreak is drawn out with the raw sound of the band bringing on the purpose.
