Matt Pop‘s star continues to rise after a string of succesfull releases on Almighty records this year, his work on Peter Wilson‘s album Laser Light, and the two very well-received Samantha Fox tracks – restored and mixed by Matt – that feature on Sam‘s album Just one Night (Deluxe Edition), released this July. The Matt Pop Fan Group on Facebook is growing fast, with now well over 600 members, and the view count of MattPopOfficial on YouTube is rapidly approaching two million. So chances are, quite a few pop fans have heard of Matt Pop for the first time this year, not realizing that there is already a whole world of deliciously uplifting Matt Pop music out there to be discovered!

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!
