NEXT ReSTRUCTURE MIX - SPECIAL NINETIES EDITION: "Don't Drop Bombs" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Liza Minnelli
ReStructure Mix Update (5/15/26): ”Keep Warm” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Jinny
Jinny is an Italo-house project from Alessandro Gilardi, Walter Cremonini and Claudio Varola. Their first single “I Need Your Love” from 1990 set a formula similar to Black Box’s “Ride On Time” where a mixture of existing phrases from an underground classic dance track is followed by vocals and ad-libs (here provided by Janine Brown & later Carryl Varley) uniting two separate subjects to a pumping house rhythm. “Keep Warm” is their 1991 follow-up which is the most notable and received radio play here in the US as a part of dance sets. “Keep Warm” has a horn riff which beats the heck out of the flowing rhythm section which uses it as a cool towel during a sweaty workout. One of the treasures of the Italo-house period and one which gives off the sound which helped to move dance floors in a whole new direction.
I have taken parts of the various versions of “Keep Warm” and blended and edited pieces into a new ReStructure Mix to pump the house in the Italo-style. A new down deep pounds the pieces assembled again to praise the dance floor again.

The Key:
The Key:
Stevie Wonder taught us that “music is the key of life” - it was the first time in my life when I embraced music as magic in my world. After many years of spinning in clubs, houses and auditoriums I realize that it is also the “safe in our lives" - it helps and maintains those wonderful memories from the past and gives them a great soundtrack to replay with. Music is universal and gives me the need to continually celebrate its ebullient magic.

ReStructure Mix Update (5/12/26): ”Candy” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Mandy Moore
Mandy Moore is a pop-singer from the late 90s who released her project titled “So Real” in 1999 - featuring her dance single “Candy” produced by JIVE. The track is a catchy pop number which outlines an obvious connection to the Britney Spears sensation earlier and makes a few new marks on dance floors with the club remix versions by Hex Hector and Ritchie Santana. “Candy” is a high school crush brought to life with lots of dedication to a love who is resisting an invitation. The chorus is a catchy phrase which makes this song work along with Mandy adorable riffs here and there.
I have taken the 12” remixes by Hector and Santana of “Candy”
and blended them both into a new sweet ReStructure Mix. Layering the percussion of both along the new arrangement and some new breaks.

NEXT ReSTRUCTURE MIX - SPECIAL NINETIES EDITION: "Candy" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Mandy Moore
ReStructure Mix Update (5/10/26): ”Can’t Give Me Love” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Pepsie and Shirlie
Pepsie and Shirlie are an 80s duo who began as back-up singers for George Michael and Andrew Ridgely of WHAM!. The road to their solo career came in 1986 with the release of their single “Heartache” - produced by Tambi Fernando. Their first album titled “All Right Now” was then released in 1987 giving them several successful singles including “Can’t Give Me Love” which is a track where one meets the obvious conclusion that a relationship is one sided and over. The yearning in this number works well as both ladies careen back and forth on the complicated details yet knowing that the time has come to make it the end. A nice soft edge of rock pieces together this infectious single and makes it all worthwhile to discover these two talented ladies.
I have taken the 12” version of “Can’t Give Me Love” and re-initiated the final word in a new ReStructure Mix. I have added more of the rhythmic portions and have given them more of an opportunity to kick this song up.

ReStructure Mix Update (5/8/26): ”Joy” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Staxx
Staxx is Simon Thorne and Tom Jones - a house music project featuring Carol Leeming on lead vocals. Their 1993 single “Joy” is one of the high points of house music in general. It has a fusion of techno lightly sprinkled throughout the piece with an uplifting energy which is truly infectious. This project is a formula which made house music the leading edge during the 90s. Also known as So Damn Tuff in prior productions this group delivers the title “joy” over and over again with a slammin’ outline and wonderful mood.
I have taken the 12” “Lovejoy Vocal” mix of “Joy” and revamped the energy for this new ReStructure Mix. There is a delay in the intro for the drama purposes and more of Carol’s exciting vocal.
