ReStructure Mix Update (2/10/18) “Lisa, Lisa” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Body Heat

ReStructure Mix Update (2/10/18) “Lisa, Lisa” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Body Heat

Body Heat is a disco project from producer Teneen Ali. Their 1982 single “Lisa, Lisa” is one of the high energy pieces on Canadian label J.C. Records (for Jerry Cucuzella) which was an early sign of high energy music be coming of age. This piece has a sensual femme overtone of voices and sexy chorus innuendos. A disco approach with the right formula of rhythm and percussion.

I have taken the 12” version of “Lisa, Lisa” and reworked a ReStructure Mix using the fast paced rhythm segments to a new pace. More of the sensual elements are placed in breakdowns and build-ups to energy. One of the big opportunities here are the excitement which high energy and disco music create.

ReStructure Mix Update (2/9/18) “I Wanna Be Your Lover” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – La Bionda

ReStructure Mix Update (2/9/18) “I Wanna Be Your Lover” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – La Bionda

La Bionda is Angelo and Carmelo La Bionda – a duo who helped to formulate Italo-disco in the early 70s. Their music has always displayed a dramatic flair or a simple yet effective sound and always fun to move to. La Bionda released their project “I Wanna Be Your Lover” in 1980 with a definite move towards a full electronic sound. The title track is a single in a realm that hits hard with the keyboard elements that operate in a robotic manner. The somewhat space adventure seems to point at the fear of connecting to a lovelorn admirer and comparing it to unknown and fearful territory. A light and more comedic edge.

I have taken the 12” version of “I Wanna Be Your Lover” and moved deeper in “the depths of space” with a few new sample from a Kraftwerk classic and using bits of pieces of the song to form a new blast off. Since the theme here is a bit of comedic riffs I took the closing into my own hands. It is a touch of Azul Y Negro on La Bionda.

ReStructure Mix Update (2/7/18) "Restless” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Starpoint

ReStructure Mix Update (2/7/18) "Restless” - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Starpoint

Starpoint is a funk and r & b group founded in 1978 and recording through the early 90s. The brand of electronic dance funk is remedied by bands like Starpoint in the 80s and its shift to a soulful and pop diverse demand. Their 1985 release “Restless” is a slick love song which plays out like the lasting romance of the bands energy and excitement. Lead vocals by Renee Diggs are top form here and reach the success that they deserve backing up this band.

I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental version to recreate a ReStructure Mix with the electro funk pumping in new segmentations. This version plays out in a lengthier mix and more play with the theme of sleepless nights wondering what the next move for romance shall be.

This ReStructure Mix is dedicated to Micheal Cigich – thank you for requesting this great number and more thanks for always being a wonderful friend.
