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

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

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

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.

ReStructure Mix Update (1/8/26): ”Mercury Rising”  – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Pointer Sisters

Pointer Sisters made the 80s a festive period to dance in. Their music grew from the late 70s onto the early 90s with hit after hit pulling dancers like magnets to the dance floor. “Mercury Rising” is from their 1986 project, “Hot Together” - produced by Richard Perry. This is their sensual approach with Ruth Pointer singing lead and in a delivery which always brought to mind a Marvin Gaye edge. Sexy and full of endurance this one starts with native drums calling the carnal excitement of lovers exploring the rising temperatures of intimacy. It has been a long time since this aural anthem has been approached by the trio and it is carried out in full form here.

I have taken the 12’ vocal and instrumental of “Mercury Rising” and turned up the temperature again for this ReStructure Mix. Using a new rhythm track for the intro and closing to give the sensual feel more of a “pant” than a “breath”.

ReStructure Mix Update (1/7/26): ”Love Is A Healer”  – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Donna Summer

Donna Summer took the club sound of the 90s and made it a canvas for her voice and creativity. “Love Is A Healer” is from her 1999 project titled “VH1 Presents Live & More Encore!” and was produced by Nathan DiGesare. The track opens with a mystical feel as Gregorian chants open the vault to the secret Donna is releasing here. This one has a pounding drum rhythmic edge from the dance floors of the 90s and makes Donna sound comfortable again leading the dancers onto a journey once again. It is one of her vocal majestic performances where she is able to relay the power that her voice gives and the soul that her music always contained.

I have taken the 12” club versions of “Love Is A Healer” and used segments of a few of the mixes to recreate this ReStructure Mix. The album version is more of the focus with pieces of the remixes working around the new arrangement.

ReStructure Mix Update (1/6/26): ”Is This Love”  – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Alison Moyet

Alison Moyet is the voice during the early 80’s bringing a human emotion to electronic music. He venture with producer Vince Clarke and their project Yazoo (“Situation”, “Don’t Go”) made a lasting mark throughout the period and changed the direction for synth-pop music. Alison eventually went solo as her voice projected an effective emotion and melancholy sound to love songs produced in the dance arena. “Is This Love” is from her 1987 project titled “Raindancing” - produced by Jess Bailey. This number is one of her brilliant vocal performances where she delivers a message of heart with poetic justice. This is a smooth contemporary approach to dance music and works much more with Alison giving us her best.

I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental of “Is This Love” and reapplied the direction for this ReStructure Mix. A rearrangement of the orchestral strings and rhythm are a move to give the song more time to capture your senses.

ReStructure Mix Update (1/5/26): ”Body Free” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Watson Beasley

ReStructure Mix Update (1/5/26): ”Body Free”  – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Watson Beasley

Watson Beasley are Alfred Beasley and Gina Watson - a duo who were introduced in 1980 in their self-titled project - produced by Peter Alves (Witch Queen, Toulouse, Gotham Flasher). During the disco era it is musically noted that much of the progressive dance music was being produced in Canada and featured Canadian artists such as Gino Soccio, Peter DiMilo, Jerry Cucuzella, etc.) This project from Watson Beasley outlines the shift from mid-70s disco into a new fusion of the coming 80s and that disco edge. “Body Free” is a track from the initial album and is another one of the prime examples of vocal power over production and arrangement. The harmony of Alfred and Gina are taken on the soulful range of the 70s taken into a complete freedom and new 80s dance sound. It is laid out from the first track to the last. This duo feeds off of each line and works in the end with a diverse outcome. “Body Free” has always been one of my favorites, and not the only one from this project and now gives me the appreciation of dance music in general.

I have taken the album version of “Body Free” and used the same imagination as a 4 AM dance segment for this ReStructure Mix. With the solution the song suggests where a dance can help begin a fix for heartache I have worked to a more spatial and dub-like feel for this wonderful piece.

ReStructure Mix Update (1/3/26): ”Living On My Own” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Freddie Mercury

ReStructure Mix Update (1/3/26): ”Living On My Own”  – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Freddie Mercury

Freddie Mercury released his solo album titled “Mr. Bad Guy” in 1985 and featured his anthem track “Living On My Own”. This hard striking dance number is an 80’s dance palace dream as it contains all of the energy and outline that a crowded dance floor would welcome. Freddie relays his loneliness and strength to keep his retreat for a good purpose rather than give up on life. It is one of the periods of Mercury’s career where he wanted to make people dance and celebrate and this track is accordingly sufficient. One of the 80s singles which would outline one of my power sets and still brings to mind the immediate response to this great song.

I have taken the 12” version of “Living On My Own” and reworked the anthem into a new ReStructure Mix. There are several new segments using the bass pieces in new edits and placement as well as a fade out to oblivion.
