ReStructure Mix Update (5/23/25):”I Can Feel It” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Stop


Stop is a jazz-funk project from Andy Sojka, Jerry Pike, and M. Poole from 1980. Their single “I Can Feel It” was one of disco singles to combine the melodic jazz tones to a dance track as music shifted in the early 80’s. It is one of the singles that play out as a test of indie musician qualities. A disco touch of syn-drums placed at peak moments and builds gives this one its intrinsic touch and although the arrangement built in the jazz-like jam outline it is an interesting single for its time.

I have taken the 12” version of “I Can Feel It” along with the flip side titled “Iauwata” (titled after the reggae keyboard player) and placed it into a new ReStructure Mix. Keeping the momentum of the jazz arrangement in place of a new drum and percussion layer this new placement gives this jam session a new outline.
