"So Many Men, So Little Time" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Miquel Brown
"So Many Men, So Little Time" was the noticed arrival of high energy music in the early 80's - it signified the proof that people were not done dancing to disco music.
The track was one of the most popular of the time and lasting throughout time - even today. Miquel Brown had a mild disco hit with "Symphony Of Love" in 1978 - her return in 1983 with her LP "Manpower" guaranteed a lasting stance on dance floors.
This ReStructure Mix chops and rearranges every element from the "oh-so-familiar" mix and creates a whole new hedonism moment for all to dance and celebrate.

"Wastin' My Love" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Sticky Fingers
Phyllis and Helen Duncan are the powerhouse vocals behind Sticky Fingers - they are also known as The Duncans, The Duncan Sisters and THP (THP #2). I have always favored their strong and sass-ful vocals that always end up resonating a beautiful edge.
"Wastin' My Love" is a track from the Prelude album simply titled "Sticky Fingers" and was produced by Ian Guenther and Willi Morrison (THP, The Duncan Sisters, American Fade, Skatt Bros., The Immortals, Shayne Jackson, Southern Exposure and The Grand Tour). Simply the top disco producers with a wide range of orchestrated dance music.
This LP was one of my favorite disco projects and continues to pull my heart and feet into it's excitement. I have taken "Wastin' My Love" and reshaped it like clay - trying hard not to take away from the original sound of it's layered production.

"Just Take My Body" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Rudy
Jacques Fred Petrus is a name is disco music that will last throughout it's history. His 1979 production of Rudy Trevisi is one which features each element of electronic disco music.
"Just Take My Body" is from the project by the same name featuring Rudy Trevisi on vocals and arrangements by Paolo Gianolio. This one is the peak of the disco sound of the similar studio bands like Revanche and Macho.
This ReStructure Mix pulls only a few verses and choruses along with the peculating percussion and thumping bass from the original track. Dedicated to disco lovers all over.

"Got To Love Somebody" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Sister Sledge
From their 1980 LP "Love Somebody Today" - this follow up project to "We Are Family" had a some winning tracks: "Reach Your Peak", "Let's Go On Vacation" and "Got To Love Somebody"
Another production by Bernard Edwards and Nile Rogers of Chic fame - this project had the elements which made disco music the pop sensation of the late 70's.
I have ReStructured "Got To Love Somebody" with a loop factor heavy involved here - a new beat and clap intro to create an easy mix-in. The song moves with a difficult timing for mixing - this intro will hopefully make it easier.

"Tall In The Saddle" by Joel Diamond Experience - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera
Legendary producer, Joel Diamond created many fabulous disco compositions since the early 70's and onto the 80's. His label Silver Blue Records brought the dance floor many bands including The Invitations and many rare recordings by James Darren, Lorna Loft and Gloria Gaynor.
"Tall In The Saddle" is from his Joel Diamond Experience project from 1978 features a western backdrop with a clever disco twist. The track is a favorite among disco audiophiles for its zany and incredible layered production.
I have taken the 1985 Paul Bartel film, "Lust In The Dust" and created a canvas for the song. The film stars the Divine, Tab Hunter and Lainie Kazan - I believe it is a match made in the old west.

"Hell Dance With Me" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Cappuccino
From the fantastic production by Danilo Vaona - Cappuccino blends a mystique in "Hell Dance With Me" - the sensual and lustful vocals fit an early morning dance mix well. The project was released in 1980 and features a wonderful disco-fied production including the underground hit, "Tomorrow".
I have taken the track and made a mere fantasy of a dark aura. Adding a few riffs from Ennio Morricone's "Magic and Ecstasy" theme from "The Exorcist II: The Heretic" soundtrack to fit the devious mood.

"Carry On, Turn Me On" by Space - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera
Didier Marouani and Roland Romanelli is the French band, Space. Their 1977 disco hit, "Carry On, Turn Me On" was a deep trance-like song with a sensual feel. Vocals perfumed by Madeline Bell enhance their composition with ecstasy and a climatic build. It is now an underground classic.
Taking the 1984 Ken Russell film, "Crimes Of Passion" and patching the eroticism of "Carry On, Turn Me On" was a concept introduced by Ken Emmons. The idea was immediately taken and placed in a Disco Video Mix. The film stars Kathleen Turner, Anthony Perkins and John Laughlin - it is a story of a woman who explores her sexual fantasies in an underground world of fantasies that soon become quite terrifying.

"Walk Right Now" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - The Jacksons
The sound that made The Jacksons the cherry on the sundae for dance floors!
"Walk Right Now" is the powerhouse track from their 1980 LP "Triumph" - and the fantastic 12" remix by John Luongo. I have taken the track and extended portions and also added more of an ambient trance feel to segments.
This is one of those songs that makes the feet meet the mind - lots of energy here. Dedicated to Jackson fans everywhere!

Pattie Brooks (Our Miss Brooks) became the #1entry on the disco charts in 1978 with he big one, "After Dark". This gave Ms. Brooks many opportunities to bring us her talents to the dance floor - including her 1979 LP "Party Girl" produced by Bunny Sigler.
I have placed the track above scenes from "Breakfast at Tiffany's" starring Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard - based on a novella by Truman Capote.

"Bourgie Bourgie"- Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Gladys Knight and The Pips
"Bourgie Bourgie" is an Ashford and Simpson composition which spans the disco era very well. It exemplifies the trends, music, feel and attitude of the chic disco era.
Gladys Knight and The Pips covered this wonderful track and added a sophistication of soul and the outline of 70's disco. It is quite a beautiful achievement.
I have added a new intro and looped portions of the string movements to extend the track for posing and extended attitude.
Also covered by John Davis Monster Orchestra in 1979 and Ashford and Simpson as a flip side to their single, "Love Don't Always Make It Right".

"Helpless" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Jackie Moore
Jackie Moore made a disco hit out of "This Time Baby" in 1979 - this being one of the longest adored dance floor gems. Produced by Bobby Eli and remixed by John Luongo and Michael Barbiero.
"Helpless" came at the end of the disco craze in 1980 and was not as popular, but every bit as dramatic and powerful. The track was written by the Motown trio, E. Holland, L. Dozier and B. Holland. The 12" single was a bit difficult to get in and out of and then ended abruptly.
This ReStructure Mix extends Jackie's fabulous vocal and also the extreme determination of Jackie as she begs for another chance.

"I Took His Money" by Hott City! - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera
Hott City was as disco project produced by Jeffrey Parsons and Jeffrey Steinberg. The LP contained various sessions with lead vocals performed by several performers. "It Took His Money" featured the vocals of Mildred Vaney and Ortheia Barnes who also recorded under the title Cut Glass ("Without Your Love") with both Parsons and Steinberg.
I have take scenes from the 1990 film "Pretty Woman" starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts and placed the fairy tale premise along with "I Took His Money". I believe they work close enough together.
"Pretty Woman" was directed by Gary Marshall

"La Cage Aux Folles" by Le Jeté - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera
The San Francisco disco resurgence in the early 80's was an exciting part of dance music's history. Producers Ken Kessie, Marty Blechman and Morey Goldstein helped to feed the disco flames with their dedication to dance floors.
Their 1983 dance track cover of "La Cage Aux Folles" was a studio session singer given the name Le Jeté - also known for the first session of Modern Rocketry ("(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone", "I'm Gonna Make You Want Me"). The cover of the Broadway plays number is given a disco overhaul with drums and chants to add energy and excitement.
I have taken the 1996 Mike Nichols film, "The Bird Cage" starring Robin Williams, Nathan Lane and Gene Hackman and given it a breath of disco power.

"Sea Hunt" by Patrick Cowley - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera
Patrick Cowley's 1981 project "Megatron Man" was an innovative approach using his masterful approach to designing disco music. His work on synthesizers continues to influence disco/dance music as well as amaze us.
"Sea Hunt" is a cut from the LP which is a cover of the 1961 adventure television show theme by the same name - the show starred Lloyd Bridges. The original theme was composed by David Rose.
I have taken Patrick Cowley's mystical piece and placed it under the 1977 adventure film, "The Deep' starring Nick Nolte, Jacqueline Bisset and Robert Shaw - the action compliments the theme's melodic and haunting feel.
