ReStructure Mix Update (2/10/26): ”Radio Bostich” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Voyou


Voyou is a German ensemble featuring Andy Düx, Thomas Althen and Udo Niebergall - the trio creates a heavy sound using industrial dance influences and detonating EQ to bring the power of their creative riffs alive. In 1987 their first single titled “Houseman” was an instant success in the underground dance circuit and those who like to venture deeper into rhythm. “Radio Bostich” from 1988 and was written by MCL’s Alexander Henninger and also provided the mix. There are great parts to Henniger’s techniques where he will take the most unusual riffs and sounds to place amongst his steel sounds. As he created “New York” by MCL it is evident that New Beat influence and industrial parts are used to move his sometimes airy music atmospheres. Here he takes “Radio Bostich” and strips it down to its core.

I have taken the 12” versions of “Radio Bostich” and used the powerful elements to reassemble this ReStructure Mix. The tight sounds in the aura of industrial still play out in an experiential way and though the song brings itself its own energy there is plenty of New Beat magic sprinkled.

ReStructure Mix Update (2/8/26): ”Out Of My Head” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Marradona


Maradona is a house project from Richie Malone and Scottie Rouse. “Out Of My Head” is a 1993 single released which presses on samples and back-beats and keyboard pipes for the building energy. It is a true club record where the content is the rhythm itself and a few mixed segments which bring us to a climax. The early nineties dance floor scene was a barrage of these singles which made the dub/instrumental mix segments quite popular.

I have taken the 12’ versions of “Out Of My Head” and realigned the pieces into a new ReStructure Mix. A guest spot from Anthony and The Imperials and their big 1964 single “Goin’ Out Of My Head” complete the conjecture here. All for fun - all for dance.

ReStructure Mix Update (2/6/26): ”Strangers In The Night” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Baumann


Baumann is Peter Baumann - a German keyboard, composer and producer who began his recording career with the group, Tangerine Dream. His influence gave the band an electronic pulse which eventually steered him into a solo career in 1976. “Strangers In The Night” is from the album by the same name released in 1983 and became one of the synth-pop to create the 80’s mood and the unique edge and use of 70’s elements with an 80’s uplift. This cover of Frank Sinatra’s 1966 standard takes the song into a more mysterious situation with a fleeting chorus igniting the track. There are moments where you can feel the influence of Giorgio Moroder and Kraftwerk making the piece take synth-pop to another level.

I have taken the 12” versions of “Strangers In The Night” and placed the new standard dance sound into a ReStructure Mix. Winding up the energy immediately in this remix is the foundation and giving the segments some new treatment finds the classic 80s sound again.

ReStructure Mix Update (2/4/26): ”(Putting My) Heart On The Line” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – C.O.D.


C.O.D. is a disco project from Joe Falsia and released on Casablanca Records in 1979. “Tears” is the album title and features two underground disco pieces in my keepsake: “Night Rider” which is an instrumental with a wicked guitar riff in the winding tradition of classic disco instrumentals. “(Putting My) Heart On The Line” is a heart wrenching take on the all forgiving moments in a failing relationship where all was given but none was the prize. The vocal by Bobby Ray is another disco-pop edged part of this flowing track and leaves several classic moments there to dance in awe.

I have taken the short album version of “(Putting My) Heart On The Line” and transformed it into an early morning trance dance piece for this ReStructure Mix. More of the wonderful breakdowns I have featured and also offered a way out of the emotion in a fading exit.

ReStructure Mix Update (1/29/26): ”Dancin’ Game” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Soccer


Soccer is a disco project from legendary producer Tony Valor and gives a full treatment of disco in the late 70s. From the 1979 self-titled project the track “Dancin’ Game” was released with the beautiful treatment that Valor created for the group. Emphasis on the percussion which made dance music for the time a rhythmic antidote and irresistible. The simple romantic tie in with dancing and romance tie the knot here for the outline which made disco music so successful. A dose of the energy of the late 70s delivered in a package that gives off the execution which hustle dancers favored.

I have taken the 12” version of “Dancin’ Game” and reworked the piece for a new ReStructure Mix. Taking pieces of disco classics and giving them a part in this remix are featured along with a few new break downs.

ReStructure Mix Update (1/27/26): ”(Can You) Feel The Passion” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Blue Pearl


NOTE: HEAVY EXPLICIT SEXUAL CONTENT 

Blue Pearl is a deep house/techno project from Durga McBroom and Martin Glover. Their first single “Naked In The Rain” from 1990 blended the deep house sound into mainstream dance music. The project was produced by Youth and Howard Gray with a hard edged feel in many variations which welcomed the 90’s in with a new edge. “(Can You) Feel The Passion” is their single from 1991 which began as a rave hit titled “Playing With Knives” which enters an intense sexual arena for lead vocalist Durga to play a hardcore dominatrix doing what she does best. It has the overall feel of a heavy metal song that is buried under suggestive lyrics where this one delivers it plain in sight. It is a great outline for the unation of rave, techno and house music and still delivers a jolt.

I have taken the 12” versions of “(Can You) Feel The Passion” and have taken pieces of each version to deliver this ReStructure Mix. A new outline in execution is placed for an energetic intro in the hardcore play world for Blue Pearl.

ReStructure Mix Update (1/25/26): ”Going Home” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – The Tyrrel Corporation


The Tyrrel Corporation is a house music project from England featuring John Watson and Tony Barry. Releasing two albums and several notable singles. “Going Home” is from their 1992 project “North Of Eden” - produced by Mike Percy. One of the resilient sounds of the club/house period of the early 90’s with all of the excitement of the 80’s riffs along with new technical pieces. The track is full of soulful vocals in the house tradition with a mild climatic ending. This one gives a great moment during a time where dance music was making more than a statement - it was shaping the sound of where pop music would take on and morph its delivery.

I have taken the “scat” version of “Going Home” and translated the instrumental version in this ReStructure Mix. Using the climbing chorus as a drop in antidote for the purpose of dancing into this heavy rhythmic piece.

ReStructure Mix Update (1/23/26): ”Radio Man” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Karin Klark


Karin Klark is an Italo-disco project from producer Marco Zani and released in 1986. A melodic number with a nice riff throughout the track which brings to mind the haunting feel of memories of the past. Midtempo and following the rolling bass foundation of high energy tracks this one completes the mix with some keyboards which play out the moody feel of the song. During the start of the 80s Italo-disco began to formulate its sound through creativity and experimental boundaries. This production benefits from that time well worth spent.

I have taken the 12” version of “Radio Man” and realigned the bass keyboards for this ReStructure Mix. The intro presents a new way to enter this mid-tempo energy with a few new surprises in the remix.

ReStructure Mix Update (1/10/26): ”We Can Make It” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Tracie Daves


Tracie Daves is a house music artist who released her single “We Can Make It” in 1992 - T.A.T. Productions. This uplisting anthem is one of the early 90s hidden treasures which outlines the elements of house music on the Chicago style and deep instrumentation. Tracie is exuberant in her performance and gives off a powerful message which lifts anyone from their doldrums immediately with her positive lyrics and sweet melodic segments. Many of the house music tracks during the early 90s were lost amongst the many releases and this is one that always listed my dance floor as one of those pieces.

I have taken the 12” versions of “We Can Make It” and reemphasized  this positive track in a new ReStructure Mix. Taking the notable riffs from each mix and layering them for a new dance experience and also a stage for this wonderful vocal and message.
