ReStructure Mix Update (10/10/22): “Blue Monday” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – New Order
New Order is Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert – a band from UK whose big dance hit “Blue Monday” from 1983 brought an innovative hard-edged groove to life in an underground display of warped keyboards and thumping beats. The piece became an instant hit and gave the band the notoriety and label as the new-metal sound of dance music. The band created a new edge to dance music with their sound as Depeche Mode and Yaz had pronounced.
I have taken the original 12” versions of “Blue Monday” and reassembled some of the well-known riffs as well as some of the rhythmic pieces for this ReStructure Mix. More of a play on the heartbreak is drawn out with the raw sound of the band bringing on the purpose.

ReStructure Mix Update (10/8/22): “Love Me In The Moonlight (Lay Your Body Down)” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Valentine French
Valentine French is a disco project from Eugene Moule and John Mealing – and features vocalist Patricia Snaric on sexually-fused disco vocal. One of the disco pieces from the late 70’s which uses a hook to play out a sexy urge to make love. It is the Euro-disco formula which was formulated by tracks like “Love In ‘C’ Minor” and “I Feel Love” and presented in a new raw form with percussion pounding out the disco orgasm. The build on this one is quite dramatic and gives of the ideal that “moonlight” is the place to be for that moment in the night.
I have taken the Disconet version of “Love Me In The Moonlight (Lay Your Body Down)” from Volume 3 Program 2 ?and reworked those familiar bongos into a new ReStructure Mix. More of the sexy feel is extended across this mix and delivered with some extended segments with a bit more of the sultry verses to lure one into the den.

ReStructure Mix Update (10/4/22): “Just How Sweet Is Your Love” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Rhyze
Rhyze is a disco/soul group from New Jersey from the early 80’s produced by Paul Kyser. The ensemble included "Jojo" McKnight, Charles Holmes, Ellsworth Anderson, Kenneth Hicks, Kevin Barbee, Richard Menter, Roscoe Taylor and Vince Jackson. “Just How Sweet Is Your Love” is their single from 1980 which became one of the underground club hits almost immediately as the shift from disco to New York funk hit. This piece makes a simple statement and the real sound is the vocal edge of this arrangement. The soulful feel gives their music more of a standing especially when more and more of the New York disco began to slowly become less and less produced. This piece remains a club classic to those who understand the music or experienced it themselves.
I have taken the 12” version of “Just How Sweet Is Your Love” and rolled up this piece with some latter elements for this ReStructure Mix. A realignment of the original production are the new properties as well as pieces from a cover of this song using the chorus melody – “Baby, I Need Your Love” by Lee Marrow featuring Ce Ce Houston from 1993. A clever drift for Marrow to bring back these club classics in his own way.

ReStructure Mix Update (10/2/22): “No Regrets” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Amanda Lear
Amanda Lear is a disco magnificent icon. Her music has always been directed appropriately with the elegance and chic attitude which disco music represented during its inception. The haunting allure of her vocals has always been the focus of her sound and also the mood in which she continues to create with each number. “No Regrets” comes from her 1983 project titled “Tam Tam” – produced by Roberto Cacciapaglia and features Amanda’s shift into the 80’s electronic dance forum. This piece is a memorial to her near past which Amanda gives us to apologies for any outrageous or questionable degree. It is a mini-anthem and plays out with a musical outline as haunting as her vocal.
I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental of “No Regrets” and used the keyboard elements and the rolling bass sequencer to rework for this ReStructure Mix. More of the instrumental in injected to give the stage appeal for a show which once again pleads, “no regrets”.

ReStructure Mix Update (10/1/22): “Crazy Over You” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Desire
Desire is an electronic high-energy project from producer Sabby Rayas and Steve Galindo. Their 1986 release “Crazy Over You” is one of the underground pieces which brings back the sound which makes the 80’s exciting. The pumping bass and lyrical keyboards give off a spark which made dance floors move with dedication to the beat/ Vocals are provided by Rae Flores and deliver the riff which make this one so memorable. It is again one of the releases that make it easy to understand high energy music and how it works.
I have taken the 12” vocal and beats version of “Crazy Over You” and reignited the powerhouse track for this ReStructure Mix. The play with pieces of the vocal and the keyboard riffs are new to make this one fly again.
