After last year’s success of Stereo, the album by singer Peter Wilson that featured many contributions by Matt Pop, Peter‘s new album Laser Light is almost done.  Peter has been singing his heart out for the final album session last Sunday and Matt Pop is currently putting the finishing touches to the last of 4 tracks he will be producing for this album.  Peter has once again assembled an impressive list of collaborators, including John Von Ahlen of Parralox fame, and P.W.L. legends Pete Hammond, Dave Ford and Ian Curnow. I think Peter‘s fans (or indeed: Matt Pop‘s fans) will NOT be disappointed… release of the album is scheduled for June / july this year.

I get many remix requests and – let’s be honest –  most never get made. One name that keeps cropping up is The Carpenters. Now, I am substantially partial to a bit of Karen and Richard, and I have finally found the time to re-work one of their classics. So, coming soon to YouTube, it’s Matt Pop‘s Summer mix of Top Of  The World! (To avoid any confusion: this will be an un-official, just-for-fun mix that will not be made available commercially).

Taking a break from working for living, breathing, 3 dimensional global pop stars, Matt Pop has remixed the theme songs of two Cartoon Network shows! The first is The Amazing World Of Gumball and it premieres today on Cartoon Network Asia / Pacific. With vocals by Cartoon Network’s Crazy Choir, it is 30 seconds of deliciously zany, funky silliness. It will air regularly in-between other shows to promote Gumball. Next up? Ben 10!

An update on the 3 mixes that Matt Pop has done of one of last year’s best pop/dance albums Glamazon by RuPaul: these mixes are now scheduled for release summer 2012 (no exact date yet) and they should tie in nicely with Ru‘s new tv show. That’s all she would tell me! So keep checking www.rupaul.com for more news.
