Found A Cure - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Ashford & Simpson

• Found A Cure - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Ashford & Simpson

The 1979 LP “Stay Free” from Ashford & Simpson placed the duo on dance floors for good. Much of their magnificent work was still hot and this only made their repertoire a must.

“Found A Cure” is reworked in this ReStructure to outline more of Jimmy Simpson’s (Valerie’s younger brother) mix to the hilt. The wonderful percussion added by Ralph McDonald is as much apart of this treasure as the wonderful theme and magic lyrics. This one is a sure keeper.

A strange mix of visuals from Stephen King's gothic horror novel and Brian DePalma's horror-classic, "Carrie" - mixed with Jacques Fred Petrus' production of Revanche's "Revenge"!

This is indeed a different take on the high energy sound of this dance floor gem. It is perfect "prom" music, as you will see.

I Can Fly - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Rainey

• I Can Fly - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Rainey

"I Can Fly" is an incredible 80's dance anthem which emerged from a teen-dance motion picture titled, "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." It has been covered several times, the closest contender being a Ian Levine production by Louise Thomas in 1988 on Nightmare Records. This version by Rainey has an uplifting feel and keeps the song in top form.


I have received a request for this one by Robert from the UK and could not resist - the song has a soaring feel to begin with. I took the instrumentation and looped the heck out of the percussion and bass lines, as well as the vocal tracks to create more af a dub feel.



This one should move more than clouds around - it in one of the best anthems of the 80's.

Right On Target - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Paul Parker

• Right On Target - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Paul Parker

The 80's dance scene may be the most exciting in dance history. Many musicians were performing music from what they gathered from the orchestral productions of the seventies and fusing electronic keyboards for a more simplistic feel. Patrick Cowley began weaving his futuristic sound in music by Sylvester and many remixes he was creating with a few disco artists in the late disco boom of the seventies.

In the 80's he began creating music for vocalist he felt suited his music well. Paul Parker is among the highest of his achievements. Parker was a male singer who made each song his own with his powerful vocals. "Right On Target" is the first of his solo releases and probably the most memorable. It moves in every directions striking the "target" each time.

This ReStructure mix is dedicated to Paul Parker for bringing so much to dance floors and at the right time. The arrangement is populated with many more breaks and pieces of mix-effect to create a whole new feel for this classic.

Walk Away - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Donna Summer

• Walk Away - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Donna Summer

This cut closed the first act of the "Bad Girls" medley - it was a memorable song because it was an outline for Donna leaving Casablanca Records after flying high on the wings of disco success. It was all for the best, and she left behind a legacy of towering hits. This cut has been requested as a ReStructure Mix by several guests at Multiply and here on SOS. After letting go of my fear of touching such a classic - here are the results.

Donna feels as comfortable as she ever did singing disco on this track - it will stand as one of her most powerful tracks because it is so simple, yet gives so much. Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte produced and once again give us Summer Magic.

Get Down - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Gene Chandler

• Get Down - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Gene Chandler

Known as "The Duke" this master musician recorded one of soul's most popular tracks in 1962 - "Duke of Earl." Moving through the seventies he found the opportunity to make a mark in disco history with his 1978 LP "Get Down" which also included another single smash titled, "When You #1". The 12" disco mix was flawlessly executed by master, Rick Gianatos. I have taken his wonderful tracks and mixed them into a flurry with the bongo break being the main driving force behind Chandler's "funkytown" vocals.

Be advised that a track like this comes only once in a lifetime - and if you loose track of the chant, "get down" you may have only heard it somewhere else too much - this track is a sheer gift. Now, get down!

Over and Over - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Disco Circus

• Over and Over - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Disco Circus

Many disco projects that were assembled in the late 70's were a concoction of producers and musicians from earlier bands or LPs. This cut by Disco Circus is an example of how these productions took form. Jurgen S. Korduletsch produced many disco artists including Claudja Barry, Liptique, and Gaz during the early disco period. He moved on with trust from major labels that his work would work with his knowledge of dance floor ethics. "Over and Over" is an extreme example of his follow through.

The polished synthesizers and keyboards are a reminder of what he did with "Boogie Woogie Dancin' Shoes" with Ms. Barry - utilizing the talented musicians in his arsenal. This ReStructure is an extension of the futuristic and robotic feel of the original mix with some realigning of vocals.

Weekend Two Step - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - THP Orchestra

• Weekend Two Step - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - THP Orchestra

This was a long awaited follow up for me. THP Orchestra was Ian Guenther and Willi Morrison's creation which took on the whole concept of what disco music was about. From their initial hit, "Two Hot For Love" it was obvious these guys meant business. "Tender Is The Night" was the second project simply billed as THP #2. This 4 cut LP remains a dynamite discovery for the sound which brought dance floors excitement and pure flowing disco music.

"Weekend Two Step" was a radio hit during it's release on many hard-core disco stations and became the name of what disco dancing was all about. Beautiful lush strings and the funkiest bass guitars come alive hear with plenty of horn sections to give you the pinch and remind you that your still awake. My ReStructure is dedicated the the followers of disco music throughout it's time!
