ReStructure Mix Update (1/23/23): “Burn In His Hands” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – P.Lion

P.Lion (Pietro Paolo Pelandi) is an Italo-disco artist whose career began at the start of early Italo-disco sound. The early sounds of his work were the portrayal of the uplifting and imaginative sound of the early 80’s scene from Italy and gave him the chisel of the electronic disco sound. In the 1991 Italo-house/techno piece “Burn In His Hands” this artist releases a whole new energy onto the dance floor in a new concept and placement. Using supposed vocal segments from Mahalia Jackson’s “He’s Got The Whole World In His Hands” (“burn in his hands”) he creates a fierce “carnival style piece that builds and builds with only a few segments of sampled vocals. It is one of my favorites and a lump of samples I could never get out of my head after hearing for the first time.

I have taken all 4 12” versions of the original version of “Burn In His Hands” and reedited the pieces of each for this ReStructure Mix. A hard hitting percussion/bongo piece layered over some drum beats from Lobo and the new version is ignited.
