"Got To Love Somebody" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Sister Sledge

"Got To Love Somebody" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Sister Sledge

From their 1980 LP "Love Somebody Today" - this follow up project to "We Are Family" had a some winning tracks: "Reach Your Peak", "Let's Go On Vacation" and "Got To Love Somebody"

Another production by Bernard Edwards and Nile Rogers of Chic fame - this project had the elements which made disco music the pop sensation of the late 70's.

I have ReStructured "Got To Love Somebody" with a loop factor heavy involved here - a new beat and clap intro to create an easy mix-in. The song moves with a difficult timing for mixing - this intro will hopefully make it easier.

"Tall In The Saddle" by Joel Diamond Experience - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

"Tall In The Saddle" by Joel Diamond Experience - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

Legendary producer, Joel Diamond created many fabulous disco compositions since the early 70's and onto the 80's. His label Silver Blue Records brought the dance floor many bands including The Invitations and many rare recordings by James Darren, Lorna Loft and Gloria Gaynor.

"Tall In The Saddle" is from his Joel Diamond Experience project from 1978 features a western backdrop with a clever disco twist. The track is a favorite among disco audiophiles for its zany and incredible layered production.

I have taken the 1985 Paul Bartel film, "Lust In The Dust" and created a canvas for the song. The film stars the Divine, Tab Hunter and Lainie Kazan - I believe it is a match made in the old west.

"Hell Dance With Me" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Cappuccino

"Hell Dance With Me" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Cappuccino

From the fantastic production by Danilo Vaona - Cappuccino blends a mystique in "Hell Dance With Me" - the sensual and lustful vocals fit an early morning dance mix well. The project was released in 1980 and features a wonderful disco-fied production including the underground hit, "Tomorrow".

I have taken the track and made a mere fantasy of a dark aura. Adding a few riffs from Ennio Morricone's "Magic and Ecstasy" theme from "The Exorcist II: The Heretic" soundtrack to fit the devious mood.

"Carry On, Turn Me On" by Space - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

"Carry On, Turn Me On" by Space - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

Didier Marouani and Roland Romanelli is the French band, Space. Their 1977 disco hit, "Carry On, Turn Me On" was a deep trance-like song with a sensual feel. Vocals performed by Madeline Bell enhance their composition with ecstasy and a climatic build. It is now an underground classic.

Taking the 1984 Ken Russell film, "Crimes Of Passion" and patching the eroticism of "Carry On, Turn Me On" was a concept introduced by Ken Emmons. The idea was immediately taken and placed in a Disco Video Mix. The film stars Kathleen Turner, Anthony Perkins and John Laughlin - it is a story of a woman who explores her sexual fantasies in an underground world of fantasies that soon become quite terrifying.

The sound that made The Jacksons the cherry on the sundae for dance floors!

"Party Girl" by Pattie Brooks - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

"Party Girl" by Pattie Brooks - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

Pattie Brooks (Our Miss Brooks) became the #1entry on the disco charts in 1978 with he big one, "After Dark". This gave Ms. Brooks many opportunities to bring us her talents to the dance floor - including her 1979 LP "Party Girl" produced by Bunny Sigler.

I have placed the track above scenes from "Breakfast at Tiffany's" starring Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard - based on a novella by Truman Capote.

"Bourgie Bourgie- Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Gladys Knight and The Pips"

"Bourgie Bourgie- Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Gladys Knight and The Pips"

"Bourgie Bourgie" is an Ashford and Simpson composition which spans the disco era very well. It exemplifies the trends, music, feel and attitude of the chic disco era.

Gladys Knight and The Pips covered this wonderful track and added a sophistication of soul and the outline of 70's disco. It is quite a beautiful achievement.

I have added a new intro and looped portions of the string movements to extend the track for posing and extended attitude.

Also covered by John Davis Monster Orchestra in 1979 and Ashford and Simpson as a flip side to their single, "Love Don't Always Make It Right".

ReStructure Mix Update - 12/4/09 - "Helpless" - ReStructure Mix by Glenn Rivera - Jackie Moore

"Helpless" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Jackie Moore

Jackie Moore made a disco hit out of "This Time Baby" in 1979 - this being one of the longest adored dance floor gems. Produced by Bobby Eli and remixed by John Luongo and Michael Barbiero.

"Helpless" came at the end of the disco craze in 1980 and was not as popular, but every bit as dramatic and powerful. The track was written by the Motown trio, E. Holland, L. Dozier and B. Holland. The 12" single was a bit difficult to get in and out of and then ended abruptly.

This ReStructure Mix extends Jackie's fabulous vocal and also the extreme determination of Jackie as she begs for another chance.
