REISSUE: "Where Are You Now" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Cerrone

Cerrone brought the sound of Euro-disco to the world giving a fusion of lush strings, funky bass and percussion new life. His production of “Love In ‘C” Minor” from 1976 gave an erotic touch to this style of music always considered sexy and pulsating. Cerrone released over 25 solo albums and well and various projects he arranged and produced. At the time any album bearing the make Cerrone or his production company, Malligator Records I scooped up knowing that it would always have a few dance floor hits or a very entertaining listening experience. “Where Are You Now” is from 1983 and takes Cerrone into a new era of dance music where most independent groups were cutting corners by enhancing the electronic edge of the music. It is obvious through this piece that his talent was extensive as he pulled more genius for 80s dance floors.

I have taken the 12” vocal and instrumental of “Where Are You Now” and worked a new part in the yearning of the song. The lead vocals by J.J. Fairlight and Mary Carewe give the sound of his original female ensemble the same flair with a whole new stage. This ReStructure Mix gives the intro more of layered and mysterious sound. Some looping of the soaring keyboards takes a new groove on. Always a favorite of mine and another reason I am always at awe of this man’s music and imagination – even today.
