ReStructure Mix Update (6/5/22): “If You Feel It” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Taffy

Taffy (Katherine Quaye) is one of the Italian groups from the 80d best known for her big hit from 1985, “I Love My Radio (Midnight Radio)”. Her popularity on the dance floor gave way to many tracks following in a celebratory feel – including “If You Feel It” from 1988 – produced by Steve Taylor. This one falls into the Miami-freestyle category of beats and rhythms. An infectious chorus and more of Taffy’s irresistible vocals are the portions that make this song a lasting one.

I have taken the 12” version of “If You Feel It” and re-stamped a deep beat with some new percussion for this ReStructure Mix. The layout is designed to create more energy and revive this wonderful dance number.

ReStructure Mix Update (6/4/22): “Je T’aime” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Saint Tropez

ReStructure Mix Update (6/4/22): “Je T’aime” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Saint Tropez

Saint Tropez is a session band from W. Michael Lewis and Laurin Rinder (El Coco, Le Pamplemousse, Tuxedo Junction) which became an icon for the erotic approach at recording disco music and displaying it as well. The first project from 1977 contained a disco-fied cover of Serge Gainsbourg's “Je T’aime” with the orchestral swirling strings and lustful adlibs. This version is one of the sensual moments of disco where the art is the timing of the bass lines and the striking of violins. A wonderful time for this during disco music formulation and a successful time on the dance floor.

I have taken the album version of Saint Tropez’s “Je T’aime” and added a little fire to this ReStructure Mix. The strings are used to create new segments for some added breaks and a looped opportunity for the sensual moans for energy and mystique.

ReStructure Mix Update (6/2/22): “Loving You, Losing You” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Phyllis Hyman

ReStructure Mix Update (6/2/22): “Loving You, Losing You” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Phyllis Hyman

Phyllis Hyman is a talent from the 70’s whose voice helped to stamp soul and jazz over pop music. Her music has always told a story in many ways as the master story teller always captures the listener – and indeed Phyllis did just that. “Loving You, Losing You” is from her first self-titled project from 1977 – produced by Jerry Peters (Brainstorm) and features The Sweethearts of Sigma on backing vocals. The track is a never ending crescendo of doubts and a question of the time spent being useful. It is a heart break dance number that is told in several acts and Phyllis leads this orchestral dance movement like a mother guiding a child. There is a lot of experience in Phyllis’ voice which is why she resurfaced in the 80’s with a focus on standards, ballads and blues.

I have taken the 12” version of “Loving You, Losing You” and reintroduced the dramatic flair in a whole new way. A more fade in intro and exit are used to bring us to the point of being just as confused as Ms. Hyman in her testy relationship. New drums tracks pound out each crescendo and percussion leads the rhythm.

ReStructure Mix Update (5/31/22): “Takin’ A Chance On You” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Sticky Fingers

Sticky Fingers is a production from Three Hats Productions (THP) – Willi Morrison and Ian Guenther. The vocals of Phyllis and Helen Duncan (the second THP Orchestra album, Duncan Sisters) are the main attraction here as they recreate the dreamy and disco-soul feel of an orchestrated love song. This one dwells into the possibilities of a love experience into a future of lasting moments. A wonderful and soaring piece that is reminiscent of the “THP #2” project which is a disco masterpiece.

I have taken the album version of “Takin’ A Chance On You” and realigned the heart felt signals for this ReStructure Mix. There is a percussion riff from a classic high energy 80s piece which also begs, “take a chance” and a new alignment for the gal’s dreamy sound.

ReStructure Mix Update (5/30/22): “Midnight Music” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Martin Stevens

ReStructure Mix Update (5/30/22): “Midnight Music” – Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix – Martin Stevens

Martin Stevens is a singer from Quebec whose 1979 project “Midnight Music” brought us the magic of his title cut which brings to light the music of the 70s in a nice midrange crescendo dance piece. Produced by Michel Daigle and the righty amount of electronic disco fantasy to make this one come alive over and over again as it plays out into the night.

I have taken the 12’ version of “Midnight Music” and rewired this beauty into a new ReStructure Mix. There is a familiar funk element from an old school classic by Lakeside added to secure the base of this piece to the dance floor.

This ReStructure Mix is dedicated to Carla Monsalve who once again reminds me of a goddess from Xanadu and never lets us forget where the real music is coming from.
