• "Rise Up" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - The Parachute Club

Dance music in the 80's was heavily influenced by the disco mix of the 70's - many of disco's deejays and engineers were working closely to create dance edits and versions of top 10 music. Gearing it towards the dance floors once again.

The Parachute Club's "Rise Up" was a single produced by Daniel Lanois and mixed by John "Jellybean" Benitez for RCA Records. The song was an underground classic for many hardcore club addicts. I myself had this track on rotation for an early morning crowd - it had that sound for me.

The song is full of positive affirmations for a peaceful world that unites by clearing minds with great promise. My ReStructure is a request by "roughbear" on Multiply - and using a track from Kerim (on Multiply) by Ravi Shankar ("Tana Mana - Village Dance") as the foreground of this unifying track, I believe the point comes across again. Thanks to Kerim and "roughbear"!

I'm so glad you chose this one. And you did a great job of breaking it down into what matters most ... and its largely that simple yet wonderful bass line isn't it . I don't know why but a good number of disco songs evoke a sadness in me . This one is one of them .... might be that imploring vocal .

Good job.

Thank you so much for the kind words on the mix. I am with you when you mentioned the sadness in some music. I myself have tears welling in my eyes when I hear the words to this song. It always made me feel very touched in a good way that there is some promise of peace and understanding coming on a wider scale on this planet someday.

Who knows it could be happening now...I know that each day I wake up I feel as though it's another chance to experience how wonderful life can be.

This song is a treasure - it always moved me and I so much enjoyed feeling a new way of relaying it.

Take care and good energy to you :)
