ReStructure Mix Update (6/25/24):”Survival” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Machine Orchestra

Machine Orchestra is a project from Chicago artist Peter Black, Their 1992 single “Survival” is a garage house track that pulls a notable extreme on the less fortunate fighting to stay alive. This theme sounds like it would resonate from one of the 80’s dance flicks where the neighborhood kids are trying to save ‘the center’. It does contain nice soulful vocal from an uncredited singer who beats the world into awareness with her power and rage. There were a few of these songs were the uplifting segments of a house playlist and made the moment much more exciting.

I have taken the 12” vocal version of “Survival” and replayed the song again in the ReStructure Mix vein. More of the beats are utilized throughout the new arrangement and the choruses are spaced more widely apart.

ReStructure Mix Update (6/24/24):”I Feel It” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Suzie and The Cubans

Suzie and The Cubans are Carlos Berrios, Jürgen S. Korduletsch and Tuta Aquino – blending freestyle and house music at the end of the 80’s. “I Feel It” is their 1987 release which becomes one of the underground mixers of the period. The heavy bass and vibes are the essential vibrancy to this dance number and variations of the groove in a house manner create an infectious dance track. This one closes out the house music phenomena by blending in many of the staples of the underground house scene.

I have taken the 12” versions of “I Feel It” and relit the fire below this hot number for a new ReStructure Mix. The arrangement uses more of the outlines created in each version and the samples of a couple of the classics are included.

ReStructure Mix Update (6/19/24):”Trigger Track” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Boytronic

Boytronic is a German synth-pop band from the early 80’s whose music became recognizable by their sounds and intensity. “Trigger Track” is a bonus track released in 1984 as the B-side to “Diamonds and Loving Arms” 12” single – produced by Boogiesound Studio. This piece is a driving maze of bass sequencers and keyboards riffs that flow wonderfully into a few verses that are mysterious. The 80’s dance floor was lost in this flavor of dance music with the new-wave edge taking its part in the electronic arena of the creative end. This one screams that fast paced edge with full-force intensity.

I have taken the 12” version of “Trigger Track” and revamped the exciting portions of the mix for this ReStructure Mix. The new face of this remix is an outline for the band’s sound with a new batch of breaks and segues.

ReStructure Mix Update (6/17/24):”Venus” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Bananarama

ReStructure Mix Update (6/17/24):”Venus” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Bananarama

Bananarama are Keren Woodward, Sarah Dalli and Siobhan Fahey – a trio formed in the early 80’s and became a favorite among dance floors. Their light hearted and sometime kooky mannerisms gave the girls a deserving titled as they were. “Venus” is their cover of Shocking Blue’s 1967 classic. The production by Stock/Aitken/Waterman is the classic thumping beats and hardcore percussion layers – a sound which was successful among many of their projects. This fast paced and energetic remake is a classic since its release thanks to the girls and their gorgeous images and also the arrangement which swallows the song whole in a wonderful way.

I have taken the 12” vocal and dub versions of Bananarama’s cover of “Venus” and reworked the percussion and bass segments into a new ReStructure Mix. The levels are new with some breaks and bass-y bridge here and there with enough editing to pull another rabbit out of this hat.

ReStructure Mix Update (6/16/24):”Forever Came Today” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – The Jackson Five

ReStructure Mix Update (6/16/24):”Forever Came Today” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – The Jackson Five

The Jackson Five are Motown’s crowning achievement in displaying talent and promise of soul music. Their impact was a big success in bringing young and related performers upfront and making them stars. “Forever Came Today” is one of the tracks which plays out in a serenade of dance-fusion for the time and today stands as powerful to hear Michael Jackson’s incredible voice once again fit into the perfect realm. It is from their 1975 project titled “Moving Violation” and was produced by Brian Holland. It is a beautiful love song where the title is the magic and rest is pure residue. The arrangement was done by Arthur Wright and is an early sign of the disco arrangement where the groove pops in and out of existence without ever leaving.

I have taken the album version of “Forever Came Today” and reworked a new ReStructure Mix to give this song and The Jackson Five another lift to their talents. The arrangement is pieced in a new way and some new percussion is added to evoke more of the excitement.

ReStructure Mix Update (6/15/24):”Is It It?” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Peter Jacques Band

Peter Jacques Band is a disco project from the late 70’s created by producer Jacques Fred Petrus and arranger/musician Mauro Malavasi. During the late 70’s the duo also created the New York disco/funk band Change. This second project from Peter Jacques Band reflects the smooth sound of a funkier addition to the high energy disco platform. “Is It It?” is one of the bouncy tunes from the 1980 project “Welcome Back” and is one of the masterful vocal arrangements which feature Luther Vandross. The song is that mysterious voice behind a new connection on its validity as a lasting love and romance. It is playful and fun and brings back that feeling where love is exciting and rewarding.

I have taken the album version of “Is It It?” and re-administered a new drop for this ReStructure Mix. The thumping beats which create a lyrical feel are broken into parts and then reassembled in segments as well as a few new breaks.

ReStructure Mix Update (6/13/24):”Getting Away With It” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Electronic

ReStructure Mix Update (6/13/24):”Getting Away With It” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Electronic

Electronic is a project from Bernard Sumner (Joy Division, New Order) and Johnny Marr (The Smiths) from the early 90’s. “Getting Away With It” is their first single from 1989 and holds a mirror to music created by Pet Shop Boys but with their personal stamp raising the excitement. This piece is one of the most beautiful of this genre of post disco done in full on electronic arrangement but complete with swirling strings and crescendos. Its message is that knocks on the head and caught in a loop of unsuccessful romantic situations. It plays out with a touching manner as the beautiful music seems to drown out the sorrow into a morning dance. One of the marks on the dance floor of its time and also now an underground classic.

I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental of “Getting Away With It” and have taken it into a more stirring ReStructure Mix. I have used more of the break bass into an intro and worked the lyrics and verses around this.

ReStructure Mix Update (6/12/24):”Body Mechanic” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Quadrant Six

Quadrant Six is John Robie and Kenny Simmons – a street/electro dance duo who’s 1982 single “Body Mechanic” is the synthesis of 80’s street beat sound. The track is an energetic break dance and pop-lock piece which gives a body the makeover it needs to loosen up and move. The futuristic edge of the track is fun and at the same time seriously funk driven. This one was from a period when New York street dance was taking its toll and the grooves represented the movement as well.

I have taken the 12” vocal and dub version of “Body Mechanic” and rewired the beats for a new ReStructure Mix. I have separated the segment which given the power in doses and rearranged it in a new way.

ReStructure Mix Update (6/9/24):”A Love Supreme” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Will Downing

Will Downing is a soul/house singer and producer. His 1988 single “A Love Supreme” – produced by Mr. Arthur Maker is heralded as the perfect house song of its time. The smooth feel of the production and the powerful lyrics and vocals of Downing are a part of that success. It was one of the adult contemporary dance tracks which created a bridge between the dance floor and the power of pop music. “A Love Supreme” has many wonderful parts which bring the song into an anthem arena with that deep house feel where the bass becomes the hypnotic edge.

I have taken the 12” versions of “A Love Supreme” and worked to create a more mystical ReStructure Mix using the elements which blend it into a new experience. There are new breaks using layering of the existing production and a smooth and winding way out of this track.

ReStructure Mix Update (6/8/24):”New York By Night” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Dennis Parker

ReStructure Mix Update (6/8/24):”New York By Night” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Dennis Parker

Dennis Parker is an actor/singer who released his disco project titled “Like An Eagle” in 1979 – produced by Jacques Morali (Village People, The Ritchie Family). His second from the album “New York By Night” is favorite among those who clamor for that full orchestrated sound created by Morali within the studio. The track is homage to the city and a more realistic view of times within it. The rolling basslines are a club into the obvious movement of disco music from the end of the seventies onto the 80’s where basslines became more predominant. “New York By Night” is another masterful piece from Morali and also gives Parker a nice place to plant his vocal aspirations.

I have taken the 12” version of “New York By Night” and revisited the city in a new way for this ReStructure Mix. The opening becomes more of a dub fantasy into the track and more new breaks along the way give it the momentum it expresses.
