"Love Rush" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Ann Margret

• "Love Rush" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Ann Margret

Ann Margret is the darling of the 60’s movie screen. Many of her film roles included her sensual and determined vocals. In 1979, disco music was very honored to welcome Margret onto the dance floors with her disco debut, “Love Rush” on Ocean/Ariola Records.

This was of course an attempt to burst into the disco trend of the time, but well worth it. Produced by Paul Sabu, Marc Kreiner and Tom Cossie – this single from the LP titled “Ann Margret” had the power to open doors to any dance floor. A fabulous string ensemble and infectious percussion track make this one last forever.

A ReStructure in this sense is well worth it – I dedicate this mix to Randy Sumner of Palm Springs. We had talked about this track this past weekend and I looped a vocal track that we laughed about over and over with. Thank you, Randy – you are a “winner”!

"Disco Nights (Rock Freak)" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - GQ

• "Disco Nights (Rock Freak)" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - GQ

In 1978 disco reached a period when the sound was very sophisticated and "chic" - much of the music of this time reflected the night life off of the excitement occurring in clubs. GQ was a band which became an anthem for nightlife.

Produced by Beau Ray Fleming with mixing assistance by Jimmy Simpson this venture was one of disco musics most promising of it's time. "Disco Nights (Rock Freak)" is still considered a classic among the top. It is a slick and well executed track.


I have ReStructured the cut using more of the percussion elements and also pumping up some additional breaks. This one goes out to all of the die-hards who can't get enough of this fantastic sound - it will live on-and-on.

"Extraterrestrial Lover" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Chantal Pierre (Sylvia Love)

• "Extraterrestrial Lover" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Chantal Pierre (Sylvia Love)

Producer Trevor Vallis and writers Mike Brayn and Steve Coe created an underground disco classic that takes the dance floor into a fantasy world. The vocal was recorded under the name of Sylvia Love originally but now known as Chantal Pierre.

Chantal recently appeared on Strictly Confidential and I promised to remix her classic track - this is that venture. I have taken into mind that the track needed an arrangement that kept Chantal's wonderful vocal intact. I have laid out a new synthesizer base which brings a completely new feel to the song.

This is dedicated to Chantal who is a lovely lady and I thank for making me "fly" in my mind with this incredible performance.

"Instant Replay" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Dan Hartman

• "Instant Replay" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Dan Hartman

Dan Hartman was 1978’s mover in any discotheque. The energy and excitement this track contained was infectious and indeed a sound that disco music would soon clamor for.

Dan Hartman produced the track and the 12” single featured a Tom Moulton mix, which is pure magic. I have ReStructured the track and pieces parts of the production that move the most and also created some new breaks along the way

"Willie and The Hand Jive" by Rinder and Lewis - Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

"Willie and The Hand Jive" by Rinder and Lewis - Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

WATCH ON YOUTUBE
WATCH ON MULTIPLY

Rinder and Lewis released a project titled “Warriors” in 1979 – their work has always been instrumental in formulating disco music during the mid and late 70's. Discognosis, El Coco, In Search Of Orchestra, Le Pamplemousse, Saint Tropez, and Tuxedo Junction were some of their outstanding contributions to the dance era.

“Warriors” was a disco venture, which outlined a few hits from the 60’s dance floor – luckily they took on a cover of Johnny Otis’ “Willie and The Hand Jive” – but on disco terms. The percolating synthesizers and percussion work this track as if it were created for the disco beats and along a persuasive vocal.

This has always been one track that I honored as deep-rooted disco.

Taking the 1988 John Waters’s comedy “Hairspray” and applying it to this track hit me and is now a new take on 60’s meets 70’s. Ricki Lake, Divine, Jerry Stiller, Deborah Harry, Ruth Brown and Sonny Bono are among the talent that has kept this film alive even today. Waters created a true classic with this project.

• "Working My Way Back To You" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Spinners

• "Working My Way Back To You" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Spinners

Michael Zager and Jerry Love produced the Spinners1979 LP "Dancin' and Lovin'". The LP was a venture into disco assimilation of the time.

"Working My Way Back To You" was a cover of The Four Seasons' 1965 hit - this track was a perfect match for the vocals of the Spinners. Their disco version was a big hit on dance floors and the single climbed up the charts immediately. This track is still considered a disco classic in it's own right.


I received a request for a ReStructure by Caesar. My concept was to apply a new bass beat along with a few surprises along the way.

"Feels Like I'm In Love" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Kelly Marie

Kelly Marie burst back onto dance floors with "Feels Like I'm In Love" in 1979 - the track made it's way to the top of dee jay play lists all over. The "feel" of the song was definitely what dance floors were celebrating at the time.

This ReStructure Mix is dedicated to Paul in New York - there are plenty of new elements here. Lots of drums, synths and beats to bring out a savage dancer in anyone :)
