ReStructure Mix Update (2/21/25):”Running From Paradise” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Hall and Oates

Daryl Hall and John Oates are a pop duo who began recording in 1972 and released projects throughout the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. The disco era brought many artists and bands onto the dance floor to create their own magic in the disco world. Hall and Oates released their 1979 project titled “X-Static” with their track “Running From Paradise” blending their harmonies in a song which outlines a suitor attempting to lure a love interest into a more than rewarding situation. The heavy drum beats, bongos and electronic riffs are the elements which make this duo use their own flair in a new genre of music for their repertoire. 

I have taken the 12” version of “Running From Paradise” and re-edited the piece into a new ReStructure Mix giving the duo a new stage. More of the frenetic and melodic pieces of the song are highlighted and mixed into a new arrangement.
