ReStructure Mix Update (3/30/26): ”Fashion” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – New York Models


New York Models is a high energy project from Bobby Orlando - a vintage disco producer who also created The Flirts, Waterfront Home, Hotline, Gina Desire and Hippies With Haircuts. Orlando’s approach being a heavy percussion layer with light and simple melodies keeping the rhythm connected. “Fashion” is a 1984 release with many pieces of past productions in his arsenal with its rolling bass lines and similar chorus of his track “Passion” by The Flirts. It still cooks on the dance floor with the energy and boldness in Orlando’s single remixes. The female vocalist here explains why her lover is more than just a lover - there is a connection to the latest needed to be in style. It is another one of his sprinkled pieces in his releases and kept his name and sound out the during the 80’s and its many dance floor.

I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental of “Fashion” into the ReStructure Mix realm in homage to the Orlando sound. The original elements are taken apart and reassembled to give another session of the “fashion” for more than just adorning.

ReStructure Mix Update (3/29/26): ”Rockin’ For Myself” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Motiv 8 featuring Angie Brown


Motiv 8 is a Euro-house project from Steve Rodway who also released several synth-pop tracks under Rodway including “Don’t Stop Trying” in 1983. “Rockin’ For Myself” is a track released in 1993 during the techno, house and rave segments of club dance music. It features Angie Brown on vocals and delivers a strong rippling bass number that aims to make the feet move. Rodway creates a style which incorporates the rhythms of house and high energy pulled into a Euro-styled finished product. Many of the Motiv 8 singles follow along the same arrangement with the keyboard wizardry of a number of peaks that are delivered with impact. Angie’s vocals here are limited to a few verses yet they pack the song with enough to make one remember it well.

I have taken the 12” versions of “Rockin’ For Myself” and reignited the energy here for a new ReStructure Mix. Taking parts of the 4 original remixes into a new arrangement and giving this one more space to control the oncoming energy. A salute to Rodway and his contributions to dance music and its changing formats.

ReStructure Mix Update (3/27/26): ”Disco Monster” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Hope


Hope is a progressive house project from David C. Hope. His 1993 single “Disco Monster” follows a percolating instrumental dub which follows the Donna Summer classic “I Feel Love” - using Giorgio Moroder’s sequencer  
patterns as a guide for this dance trip with a few new twists and turns. Singles as this number is produced were used as mix-out segments to bring the dance crowd back down for a bit and this one truly follows this method. It is one of the early 90s experimental tracks. The male voice in the blend repeats “hot stuff” over the twisting patterns and gives  a bit of a clue to the title, “Disco Monster”.

I have taken the 12” versions of “Disco Monster” and readministered a touch more of the influence for this ReStructure Mix. Using more  of Donna Summer’s “Hot Stuff” for the obvious direction along with more ways to pound out the classic sound.

ReStructure Mix Update (3/26/26): ”Callas” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Vox Mystica

ReStructure Mix Update (3/26/26): ”Callas”  – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Vox Mystica

Vox Mystica is a deep house project released on the UK label Low Spirit Records and features techno/rave producer WestBam as co-writer on their 1990 release “Callas”. A tribute to the magnificent talent of opera singer, Maria Callas. The mood in this arrangement moves like a mist slowly engulfing its path and making it quite a religious experience. Percussion follows a Hindu percussion layer which builds into a percolating dance experience. In the wake of a new beat period at the end of the 80s this is a prime example of the creative fusion between Belgium beat, acid house and dub. One of the unique singles and awakening for the alternative dance floor where energy was not always based on BPMs.

I have taken the 12” versions of “Callas” and fused a bit more of the luring introduction into this ReStructure Mix. Adding more pieces of Maria Callas to this finale are my way of paying tribute to this wonderful woven pattern.

ReStructure Mix Update (3/25/26): ”Sweet Images” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Chant


Chant is a techno/ambient project from Italian DJ/producer Giuseppe Troccoli. “Sweet Images” is his 1999 single - produced by Marco Dalle Luche. This powerful trance piece is one of the great techno/ambient singles which saturates all of the energy and resonance in this genre of dance music. A celtic feel with a touch of the magnetic edge that ambient music is best known for with a build that encompasses the momentum of an anthem. “Sweet Images” incorporates a vocoder on the main vocal placing it in an arena which sounds like a place of worship with autotone qualities. Indeed one of the fantasy-dance numbers of its time with plenty of energy to give it a nice crossover for peak time.

I have taken the 12” versions of “Sweet Images” and directed the ambient energy for this new ReStructure Mix. More of the excitement opens this new arrangement with more of the components which make this one a classic alternative dance track.

ReStructure Mix Update (3/24/26): ”Make Love To Me” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Helen Reddy


Helen Reddy is an Australian-American singer who began her recording career in 1971. Many of her well-known songs are a part of American culture during the late 60s and early 70s. Helen released a disco project in 1979 titled “Reddy” and featured her single “Make Love To Me” - a cover of Kelly Marie’s number released the prior year. The Reddy production from Frank Day displays a session featuring Eddie Watkins Jr on bass and contains the disco sprinkles acceptable for the time. In this rendition Helen sounds comfortable and able to relay the yearning verses in a credulous manner. The single did quite well for the time as this was the disco heyday where many artists known and new were giving it their shot on a dance floor hit.

I have taken the 12” version of Helen Reddy’s “Make Love To Me” and rewired the piece for a new ReStructure Mix. There are some new percussion riffs added to power up the number and a longer interlude to the lilting chorus.

ReStructure Mix Update (3/21/26): ”Dirge” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – The Dream Girls


The Dream Girls is a studio ensemble from producers Martyn Norris and Richard Cottle - and features on vocals Adrienne Loehry, Hannah Jones, and Jackie Rawe. This project has taken the tracks “And I Am Telling You (I’m Not Going)” and a few disco classics to create a 90s point of view of each in a successful electronic production. “Dirge” is the B-side to their 1993 cover of Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love” - and features the instrumental talents of Graham Willcocks (Gemini Jones) in a trance/ambient piece which captures some beautiful moments. The funky guitars which serenade the melodic interludes create wonderful breezy moments where the dance beat and fantasy unite. It is one of the rare b-sides where I felt the need to flip this side up for a dance-trance set.

I have taken the 12” version of “Dirge” and recreated a new direction for this ReStructure Mix. Laying a heavy dose of percussion and beats to lead this one once again onto an amazing path.

ReStructure Mix Update (3/20/26): ”Love Is Calling” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Pleasure Game


Pleasure Game are Bruno Van Garsse, Jacky Meurisse, Michel Nachtergaele and Philippe Dhondt - a Belgium based group developed with the hardcore new beat sound and eventually becoming a Euro-house band. “Love Is Calling” is their single from 1992 - produced by Bruno Van Garsse and follows alongside the techno-pop releases of the time period from Dr. Alban, Culture Beat and Captain Hollywood Project. The various remix versions are more directed towards the new beat and techno arena where a dub edge is explored. Vocals appear in segments blending the direction into a more vaporized meaning and yet the experimental sound is more of the attraction here.

I have taken the 12” versions including the techno dubs of “Love Is Calling” and readministered a new edge for this ReStructure Mix. The function of these various techniques are outlined with moderate fades and drops which give it the new beat edge it was intended to attack.

ReStructure Mix Update (3/18/26): ”Make You Whole” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Andronicus


Andronicus is Jonathan Blanks - a dance music producer who worked with the house/techno approach on many of his projects. “Make You Whole” is his 1992 release which features the arsenal this talented man was capable of. A fast and deep pulsating piece which is broken into rhythm segments and paused for another fueling moment to hit harder and more intensely. The use of the Daisy Dee track “Crazy” from 1990 gives a more new beat drive with the Technotronic bass and beats yet Blanks gives us more to digest. With the early 90s resonating from the house, acid house and techno fusion there is a purpose for this piece and it still makes its point quite evident.

I have taken the 12” versions of “Make Your Whole” and stretched out the groove even more for this new ReStructure Mix. Using the percolating sequencers as the big line to cross for the new breaks and segments to carry on this tradition.

ReStructure Mix Update (3/17/26): ”I Say Yeah” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Secchi


Secchi (Stefano Secchi) is a music producer and disc jockey who took the 90’s into the Italo-house destination it was heading for. Following the huge success of Italian house productions as Black Box in the late 80s it was written on the walls where the playful Italo-disco sound was heading. “I Say Yeah” is a single from 1990 which takes the most important formulas of Italo-house and converts it into a powerhouse groove. The song has its concerns where our bystander watches the rise of a pop star who eventually becomes addicted to more than success. More of the interest in rhythm are the ingredients in this production where Secchi takes each element a step further. From the piping house keyboards to the percussion taking its own course this piece does mark an entry to the 90s where the club scene reaches its peak, again.

I have taken the 12” versions of “I Say Yeah” and readministered a new dose to this anthem for a new ReStructure Mix. One of the main factors for my new arrangement is the use of Secchi’s focus - the beats, bass and percussion.
