Last Wednesday’s partynight VariéGay in Amsterdam was great fun. Thank you Matt Pop fans who came up to say hi, and sorry I couldn’t chat properly with the headphones on and the music blaring 🙂 Those of you in attendance got to hear a few exclusives, including my unreleased Kylie mix, plus some soon-to-be-released ones by RuPaul, Unit-911  and others. Must do it again sometime! Work on the Matt Pop club mix of Peter Wilson’s next single When Love Is Said And Done is almost finished, and then it is on to the next Almighty project. More underway, so stay tuned!

Amsterdam Gay Pride is almost upon us (July 28 – August 5) and if you’re in town, why not drop by at The Winston Kingdom club on Wednesday,  August 1 for “VarieGay On The Move” , an evening of “International soulmoving top-and-bottom entertainment: variety, fun, cabaret, magic, song and dance.

Teresa Marie is one of Pumpin Uk‘s most enduringly popular acts, and the label is celebrating her succes with a wonderful “Best Of” collection, called “A Decade Of Dance”.  There are 22 tracks on it, and three of those are Matt Pop mixes: Walk Of Life, Love In The First Degree and They Say It’s Gonna Rain. These are the radio edits, so you’ll get nothing but the good bits, crammed into just under 4 minutes. Available from i-Tunes, CD Baby and www.pumpinukrecords.com.

Just released: Mad About The Boy 20, a collection of banging club mixes of some of your favourite dance tracks. There are two Matt Pop mixes on it: Obsession by Zoe versus Massive Ego (the Animotion classic from the 80’s) and Walk Of Life by the very talented Teresa Marie. Unfortunately, the previews on i-Tunes / Amazon don’t give you the best bits, so check out the teasers on http://www.youtube.com/user/MattPopOfficial . Mad About The Boy 20 is available from most digital download platforms and as a 2-disc cd.
