ReStructure Mix Update (9/30/25): ”On The Radio” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Donna Summer
Donna Summer is one of history's amazing talents. From her “Queen Of Disco” period throughout the last segments of her music she maintained the power her voice needed to continue bringing emotions to us in a special way. “On The Radio” is from her 1979 project “On The Radio - Greatest Hits Volumes I & II” and is one of her signature tracks. The story takes us back to a radio show which brings back a long lost love and another opportunity to believe in love once again. It was produced by Giorgio Moroder and his electric moog touch is throughout these magical recordings. Donna takes the vocals into her arms and makes them hug our hearts with the wonderful sentiment and style she has always projected.
I have taken the long album version and instrumental of “On The Radio” and recalled the magic in a new way in this ReStructure Mix. Using more of Moroder’s instrumental throughout the mix to give this remix a new experience.

ReStructure Mix Update (9/26/25): ”Inside My Heat” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Lemon
Lemon is a disco group created by producer Kenny Lehman - who is also credited as arranger and a producer on the first Chic album titled “C’est Chic”. Lemon utilizes the vocal skills of Luther Vandross, David Lasley, Diva Gray and Gordon Grody to the top as this project gives variations of disco tracks. “Inside Of My Heart” brings a big band flair to the production as well as a silent movie edge with the percussion mimicking a Charlie Chaplin scene. The love song is also in the big band edge where a love song fights the feeling long enough where there is no turning away. The piece is one which has some of the ensemble's best harmonies and lead vocals crooning.
I have taken the album version of “Inside My Heart” and added some foundation to the production in this ReStructure Mix. A hard hitting house beat and snap are the pulling vibration from several new breaks and a new approach to a disco production from 1979.

ReStructure Mix Update (9/24/25): ”Stop Don’t Do this To Me” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Phyllis Nelson
Phyllis Nelson is a disco singer who had a huge dance floor hit with her 1980 song, “Don’t Stop The Train” - produced by Yves Dessca. Her project “Move Closer” from 1984 featured the track “Stop Don’t Do This To Me” and gave her another opportunity for a welcome on dance floors. A song about the damaging part of a relationship out in the open and a plea to make it easier to say goodbye. The production once again is Dessca and the intermediate rhythm tracks are interesting as both meet the pain and heartache to the hilt.
I have taken the 12” version of “Stop Don’t Do This To Me” into a new outline and execution for this ReStructure Mix. There are longer segments leading to each verse and a roaring chorus just before we get a break down for an exit.

ReStructure Mix Update (9/22/25): ”Where’d You Get What You Got” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Michele Freeman
Michele Freeman is a disco singer who released her self-titled project in 1979 - produced by Don Ray (“Got To Have Loving”, “Standing In The Rain”). This project is the disco definition of the spotlights and the mirror balls as they progressed to more, more, more. “Where’d You Get What You Got” is the second single from the project which holds interest to discophiles where Don Ray’s arrangement and production come into play. Michele’s frail voice becomes lost in the rolling bass and horns however the sensual delivery is just what the late 70s defined as a disco femme sound. The track has some interesting moments where the energy builds and gives Mr. Ray a spotlight one again.
I have taken the 12” version of “Where’d You Get What You Got” and redefined the edges of this piece for a ReStructure Mix. Using more of the sequencer as the foundation for this new recipe.
