"Remember" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Vivian Vee

• "Remember" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Vivian Vee

Vivian Vee is the disco diva from Trieste, Italy.
Disco producers Claudio Simonetti and Giancarlo Meo who have given us productions by Easy Going and Capricorn as well as solo projects have always moved the dance floor with innovative keyboards in the early 80’s - here they give the same treatment to Vee.

“Remember” is most know as the B-side to Vee’s “Give Me A Break” in 1980 – however the track was released in 1979 on a self-titled LP. The song is an operatic and haunting track with some excellent layers on keyboards and synthesizers.

I have re-edit pieces of the song and reshaped the intro and breaks. A bit hard to take this into a new phase since I loved the original so much – this is merely an attempt o keep it alive.

Roberta Flack featuring Donny Hathaway

Roberta Flack gives the dance floor a funky dance track called "Back Together Again" from her LP with Donny Hathaway - this one is a contagious rhythm experience complete with exuberant horns and a slick rhythm guitar.

This one come requested by my sister, Lolly and Stella - the real dancers who love the music.

"Tangerine" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - The Salsoul Orchestra

• "Tangerine" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - The Salsoul Orchestra

In 1975, Vincent Montana, Jr. produced the LP that began a whole new sound for disco music - the orchestrated sound of Philly. This became a pivotal time for music - it was sophisticated and soulful.

"Tangerine" was written by Victor Schertzinger and lyrics written by Johnny Mercer in 1941 - the song was recorded by the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra and became a standard. The Salsoul Orchestra's recording brought the song to the Top 20 list during it's release.

I have taken the short 4:35 movement and looped a few pieces and back-beat mixed some of the beautiful parts to create a new and un-heard of remix. This hopefully will bring the song a new aura and new ears

"Let's Go Round Again" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Average White Band

• "Let's Go Round Again" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Average White Band

One of the most powerful dance tracks in 1980. Average White Band better known for their jazz-infused tracks like "Pick Up The Pieces" and "Person To Person" this production was a disco-fied pop thanks to David Foster (Lisa Dal Bello, Daryl Hall & John Oates, Deniece Williams ("I've Got The Next Dance"), and Bill Champlin).

This is a soaring number that utilizes strings, horns and percussion in places where the dance floor needs it most.

My ReStructure is a homage to the end of the disco era of the 70's and in hope that someday we can "go round again..."

"Don't Stop Till You Get Enough" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Michael Jackson

• "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Michael Jackson

Where you when you first heard Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough"? Most likely in amazement. This track has and always will be one of the most incredible disco tracks ever.

Produced by Quincy Jones this track has every element of perfection - it multiplies like water into the cracks of the dance floor.

This ReStructure revisits the classic in a few new ways - a beat driven intro and use of some of the points of the song which make it irresistible.

Dedicated in memory of "The King of Pop" - it all went to quickly. Thank goodness your talent will live on in our memory and hearts - thanks to your magic.

"Take Me" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Cerrone

• "Take Me" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Cerrone

Disco composer and conductor, Cerrone has maintained his stance in disco and dance music for over 30 years. His music has always been presented in a classical form of both arrangement and style. It is no doubt that his music is now looked upon as masterful.

"Take Me" is from the 1977 LP "Cerrone's Paradise" - it is another one of Cerrone's tributes to the femme vocal in ecstasy. It is quite delicious. The album version is more of a lounge trip where my ReStructure breaks down the funkier elements for a deeper experience.
Feel it and never forget it!

• "Wasted" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Donna Summer

• "Wasted" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Donna Summer

Donna Summer's released her second project for Oasis/Casablanca in 1976 - produced by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte. "Try Me, I Know We Can Make It" was another side long disco track which became one of Donna's most beautiful vocal performances of her introduction as "First Lady Of Love".

Along with her cover of Barry Manilow's "Could It Be Magic" on the "trilogy" side was "Wasted" - this track was another one of Moroder's fantastic influence of keyboards, bass moog and Donna's silky vocals. The track pulled together the drive of groovy 60's pop and disco music.

I have taken the opportunity to update "Wasted" and add some new percussion elements to pump up the already bouncy rhythm. Also keep alive Donna's original and to me, most satisfying role - "The First Lady Of Love".

"There But For The Grace Of God Go I" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Machine

• "There But For The Grace Of God Go I" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Machine

Machine was a studio disco group formed by August Darnell, previously of Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band and, later in the 1980s, Kid Creole And The Coconuts. "There But For The Grace Of God Go I" is a track from the first LP.

A powerhouse track with innovative synthesizers and an interesting theme - a couple are the proud parents of a newborn and must find a safe place to raise the child. The song is well known and considered a disco classic.
I have taken elements of the track and looped and chopped pieces to create a new experience with this winner. It is quite different.

Dedication to Saleem from KY for requesting a new "working" on "There But For The Grace Of God Go I".

"The Party" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Destination

• "The Party" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Destination

Elton Farokh Ahi produced and played many instruments on the project "From Beginning To End" by Destination (featuring Danny Lugo on lead vocal). It was truly a heart felt dream for Ahi to bring Destination to fruition.

From this LP came hits, "Move On Up" which brought disco music to it's peak in 1979 - a dance floor hit from the first beat. The entire project was segued with a dance methodology - the intro welcomes us to a trip where dancing is the end result. The closing is "The Party" where horns and percussion bring the dance floor to it's knees.

I have ReStructured the track with a new beat track and few elements brought out to create a whole new "party"!

"Cocoon" by Timerider - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

"Cocoon" by Timerider - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

The 1985 sci-fi adventure film "Cocoon" - Directed by Ron Howard is blended here with the Italo-disco track "Cocoon" by Timerider.

The 12" disco single "Cocoon" is produced by Tess who is also know for his work with Fancy - this instrumental is a fine arrangement of keyboards and sequencer tracks. It is as close to a John Williams disco-esque track you may here with the funky electronics of disco music tossed in.

The film stars Don Ameche (won Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role), Wilford Brimley, Hume Cronyn and Steve Guttenberg.
