ReStructure Mix Update (9/18/22): “All Of Me For All Of You” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – 9.9
9.9 are Leslie Jones, Margo Thunder and Wanda Perry – an r&b trio produced by Richard 'Dimples' Fields in the mid-80s. Their big pop-dance hit “All Of Me For All Of You” from 1985 is a memorable piece with the synthetic funk edge which slams vigorously along with the vocals from these gals. It is a love song full of emotions and also a few moments where the uplifting serenade takes on its own. This one was always a nice number during a funk set or early evening when the floor needed to be ignited.
I have taken the 12” vocal and dub of “All Of Me For All Of You” and re-funked the groove for this ReStructure Mix. There is a longer intro using the groove formulated by the bass guitars and some play with the beats to place this one back on the floor with more evidence of the winning sound it created during its time.

ReStructure Mix Update (9/5/22): “Funky Celebration” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Queen Samantha
ReStructure Mix Update (9/5/22): “Funky Celebration” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Queen Samantha
Queen Samantha is producer Harry Chalkitis and vocalist Gloria Brooks. The concept band began in 1978 with their first project titled “The Letter” which included a cover of Box Tops 1967 rock-classic by the same name. The sound of Queen Samantha consisted of the falsetto lead painting a mood over Euro-disco and electronic arrangements. “Funky Celebration” is from the 1979 project “The Queen Samantha” and is the eclectic sound of disco in its finale 70s form. This one uses horns and a heavy percussion layer to move from rhythmic sessions to the verses and acapella verses. One of the iconic sounds for this fabulous group and another reason they will always be remembered.
I have taken the album version of “Funky Celebration” and realigned the wonderful horns and vocals for this ReStructure Mix. I have extended the vocalese pieces of the song and made use of a new exit where the energy attempts to slowly due down.

ReStructure Mix Update (9/2/22): “Goddess Of Love” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Soif de la Vie
Soif de la Vie is Christian Krusch, Helmut Wittler, Leo Walter, and Oliver Hardt – a German high energy project from 1984. Their single “Goddess Of Love” became the staple for high energy dance music of the period. The rolling syntheses and heavy jungle drum beats are the pinnacle master of disco music. The theme is sung by vocalist Rosary in a wicked delivery where she gives out the message from her thrown. This one is a fast moving and rhythmic adventure and is no wonder why it was such a favorite in the wee-hours of those big dance palaces.
I have taken the original 12” vocal and instrumental of “Goddess of Love” and re-tamed the track with a new intro for this ReStructure Mix. There are more breakdowns at the fade and again the vocals that rage among the dance floor.

ReStructure Mix Update (9/1/22): “Space” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Viola Wills
Viola Wills is a disco legend who made dance floors not only recognize a fitting voice for the dance floor but also the number of times she struck more than a chord. Her hits include many cover versions with a dance arrangement including her big 1980 classic of Gordon Lightfoot’s “If You Could Read My Mind”. Viola took many different turns throughout her recording career but always remained faithful to the dance floor. “Space” is a track from her 1983 project by the same name – it was produced by Viola and her husband Robert Ashmun. The question here is how much we know of the relationships we work at and a rule of law where time apart creates growth also. The arrangement is much like a Broadway number which reaches several heights and gives off a chorus of bold believers.
I have taken the 12” versions of “Space” and laid out the song for a new ReStructure Mix. The intro is a longer fade in with some added percussion and more of the dub-like feel for this fast moving 80’s dance number.
