ReStructure Mix Update (9/10/25): ”Do Your Dance” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Rose Royce

Rose Royce is a funk/R&B and disco band who brought the 70’s a nuance of music which helped to bring soul music and the disco sound to many outlets. Best known for their soundtrack to the film “Car Wash” in 1976 produced by Norman Whitfield, this band made a lasting impression in music history. “Do Your Dance” is from their 1977 project titled “In Full Bloom” and is another example of the blend of funk and soul becoming the outline for disco music. The groove for this number is an infectious one and adding a blaring horn section tearing down the walls this move was another genius take from Norman Whitfield. The band consists of Freddie Dunn, Gwen Dickey, Henry Garner, Kenji Brown, Kenny Copeland, Lequeint "Duke" Jobe, Lisa Taylor, Mark Kenoly, Michael Moore, Michael Nash, Ricci Benson, Terral Santiel, Victor Nix and Walter McKinney.

I have taken the 12” version of “Do Your Dance” and re-funked a new edit and arrangement for this ReStructure Mix. I had used the original elements including beats and percussion to reintroduce the song with some new twists and turns.

ReStructure Mix Update (9/8/25): ”Get Down Tonight” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – K.C. and The Sunshine Band

ReStructure Mix Update (9/8/25): ”Get Down Tonight” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – K.C. and The Sunshine Band

K.C. and The Sunshine Band are the spark which helped to ignite the disco fuse in the early 70s. Their big radio hit “Get Down Tonight” from 1975 made many feet and hearts move. It was the beginning of a new movement in clubs and venues where dance became the reason and purpose. Led by Harry Wayne Casey and Richard Finch the group became known as the Miami Sound and helped to pave the way for the success of Henry Stone’s disco legacy T.K. Records. “Get Down Tonight” has a direction which takes a romance to the dance floor every night possible as the disco scene did to couples and dancers everywhere and in its simple yet motivating lyrics it takes on the nightlife in exposing the excitement and meaning.

I have taken the album and instrumental versions of “Get Down Tonight” and worked in some new directions for this ReStructure Mix. Waking the intro into a new fading rhythm build and then taking that energy into a few new breakdowns.

ReStructure Mix Update (9/6/25): ”Why Can’t You See” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Precious

ReStructure Mix Update (9/6/25): ”Why Can’t You See” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Precious

Precious is a breakbeat piece with trance-like echoes throughout the arrangement. The drum tracks take on a beating in parts of this nice number and make this one worthwhile as it takes on several energy shifts. The production is Nu-Sol Productions and the release was in 2000 making this one a nice warranted techno edged piece. The vocals are direct and almost robotic as this one moves like a hunter through the electric environment. One of the minor hits for me on an off-label and a sound that is unique in itself.

I have taken the 12” versions of “Why Can’t You See” and rewired the drums and vibes again for this ReStructure Mix. There is a longer intro with those killer drum beats pounding out the sensual energy of this track.

ReStructure Mix Update (9/5/25): ”Tour De France” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Kraftwerk

ReStructure Mix Update (9/5/25): ”Tour De France” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Kraftwerk

Kraftwerk is an innovative electronic band formed in the early 80s outlining a futuristic computer sound. Their music influenced many genres of dance music during the mid and late 70s. “Tour De France” is their 1983 single which celebrates the entirety of their arrangements and execution of pop-dance street outlines. It is one of their nice tracks which takes their experimental devotion and wraps it again into a new package. Produced by Kraftwerk and making another mark in 1983’s electronic dance pool.

I have taken the 12’ French version and the original album version to outline a new ReStructure Mix for this great number. More of a downbeat is added to facilitate the rhythm and a new arrangement percolates throughout this remix.
