ReStructure Mix Update (7/16/25): ”Do You Want It Right Now” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Siedah Garrett


Siedah Garrett is a soul/dance artist from the early 80s who also had the honor of being produced by Quincy Jones and also appeared on a duet with Michael Jackson in 1987. Her street dance track from the film “Fast Forward” from 1985 is a fantastic display of this talented ladies voice and performance. “Do You Want It Right Now” works on the 80s beat box elements and flows into a lovely piece where Siedah takes each level of the song to a higher level. One of the more soulful expressions in the excitement of power behind the voice. 

I have taken the 12” version of “Do You Want It Right Now” and replaced those stomping beats into a new ReStructure Mix. Allowing more space for a few new drop outs and also a few loop beats which accent the song in a new way.

ReStructure Mix Update (7/13/25): ”Deeper” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Susan Clark


Susan Clark is a vocalist from New Jersey during the early 90s in the garage/house genre. Her 1991 single “Deeper” produced by James Bratton is the finishing touch on house music during this period. The underground scene created quite a stir on dance floors and influenced the pop and club music scene. “Deeper” is a diva track from beginning to end where Susan takes the track and gives it all of her sweat and emotions. It is a love song with a riff which gives off that time where house music was more of a dub-like substance giving it many variations and styles along the way.

I have taken the 12” version of “Deeper” and moved this one back into the underground with this ReStructure Mix. I have used more of the rhythm tracks to give the arrangement more movement and also rearranged the main riff among the new remix.

ReStructure Mix Update (7/12/25): ”Sinderella” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Betty Wright


Betty Wright’s return to the dance floor in 1985 with “Sinderella” an electronic/high energy piece produced by Gary Rottger and Joe Venneri. This number is an outline of the classic fairy tale “Cinderella” in a more modern updated land where she seems to find many men but no love. The track is fiercely produced with percolating sequencer and hard hitting clap tracks accenting the tale. It is one of Betty’s fine performances again where she gives off a touch of the disco-diva once again in a soulful way. A big mid-80s return for her and another opportunity for us to hear this fractured fairy tale take its place on the dance floor.

I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental of “Sinderella” and retell the story in this ReStructure Mix. A new placement of verses and chorus are the new outline and some new breaks along the way.

ReStructure Mix Update (7/9/25): ”Givin’ Up” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Bobby ‘O


Bobby Orlando is one of the dance producers who traveled the road from the late 70s disco era onto his own legacy of formulating a new genre in the early 80s called high energy. Many of his early 80s productions focused on an electronic arrangement with heavy drums and percussion. “Givin’ Up” is from his project from 1983 titled “Freedom In An Unfree World” which features his signature sound. His formula was a successful transition for the 80s where many of his themes and outlines were tracks that were to the point and often left field ideas. “Givin’ Up” is as simple as many of his pieces from his period, however the hard hitting arrangements give off a lure for both the ears and feet.

I have taken the 12” version of “Givin’ Up” and played out another opportunity to pay homage to Orlando in this ReStructure Mix. A new intro and shift in the delivery of the song are the new play here.
