ReStructure Mix Update (2/23/23): “Star” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Claudio Mingardi

ReStructure Mix Update (2/23/23): “Star” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Claudio Mingardi

Claudio Mingardi is an Italian singer who released his single “Star” in 1983 – produced by Roberto Zanetti. The track is one if the adventurous pieces with the energy which makes the 80’s reflect as the high energy dance era. This track is more mid-tempo however the rolling bass sequence accents the level of power it creates. The theme is more of an imaginary hero who brings the sweetness in the chorus to life. The single was always an early evening warm up for me in my sets to bring on the energy as the evening progressed. A very nice and melodic feel give this one a nice purpose to keep the energy alive.

I have taken the 12” of “Star” and reenergized the feeling with more of a regal opening for this ReStructure Mix. The dramatic keyboard elements are the segments which I brought out and the new break make for a whole new edge for this classic.

ReStructure Mix Update (2/17/23): “Duri Duri (Baila Baila)” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – click!

click! is an 80’s synth-pop ensemble featuring Adriana Camacho, Claudia Given and Rocio Sobrado – and produced by Alan Coelho (Tapps) and Hernani Raposo. The theme of their music featured Latin compositions to a synthesized dance pop beat. “Duri Duri (Baila Baila)” is their 1987 single from their project “Con Amor Para Ti”. A piece following the high energy sound of the mid and late 80’s with the senoritas serenading us throughout the number. An infectious vocal is the lead in of the song and brings to mind a celebration from then on. One of the big hits in my club and a very popular T-Dance song.

I have taken the 12” long version of “Duri Duri (Baila Baila)” and replanted the energy into a new mixture for this ReStructure Mix. There are a few familiar percussion riffs added from the disco classic band Sana Esmeralda and more music per castanet clack!

LOST IN ReSTRUCTURING: CAUGHT IN A TRAP?

LOST IN ReSTRUCTURING: CAUGHT IN A TRAP?

Been working with disco music for 46 years. Restructuring for over 25 of those years. It is one of those activities like breathing everyday - as I take a deep breath life surges through my veins, mind and heart. I love disco music. And those 'disco people' are more than "special" - they are the energy that drives my desire. Thank you, dancers, music enthusiasts and magic night people.

ReStructure Mix Update (2/14/23): “I Won’t Let Go” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – The System

ReStructure Mix Update (2/14/23): “I Won’t Let Go” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – The System

The System is David Frank and Mic Murphy – an 80’s duo who brought to life the sexy and heartfelt edge of electro-funk. Their 1983 track “I Won’t Let Go” from their project “Sweat” is one of the love songs which resonates a groove and vibe that pluck the heartstrings. Like their big hit “You Are In My System” from the same project which was covered again by Robert Palmer. This pulse of love is one of favorites of the early 80s and contains many riffs both instrumentally and vocally that make the heart content.

I have taken the 12” long and the album long versions to contain both for this ReStructure Mix of “I Won’t Let Go”. I have added a few new drum tracks to piece the roof again and extended those sweet lyrics into a new beat box love theme.

ReStructure Mix Update (2/6/23): “Fly Like An Eagle” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Habit

ReStructure Mix Update (2/6/23): “Fly Like An Eagle” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Habit

Habit is Nick Amour, Andy Carroll and Mick Martin. This trio created a deep house sound which became the staple of many cover-songs during the late 80’s. “Fly Like An Eagle” is their bass-driven effort on the Steve Miller Band rock classic from 1976. This production moves below the surface with a deep bass synth rolling over the houses drums kicking away. It is an effective transition to the dance floor of the early 90’s and brings back that fantasy edge this song always produced. 

I have taken the 12” vocal and dub versions of “Fly Like An Eagle” and placed it in a new soaring ReStructure Mix. The energy moves along as booming as it did during the release and a few new stops have been added along the way.
