Tuesday night, July 10th (conveniently planned on the day before the Hit Factory Live concert in Hyde Park), Energise Records are having a little get-together in Lewisham, London. Peter Wilson, Nicki French and Sammy Paul will all be performing and Matt Pop will also be there to raise a glass to the label’s recent successes. Feel free to drop by to say hello, watch the performances, and enjoy a fun, pop-filled night 🙂

The new video Deneuve Danse by Pierre Pascual is now on YouTube, in its full, 7 minute, extravagant glory. During the last 20 seconds you can hear a snippet of the Matt Pop Club Mix. The release date of the single – an ode  to the queen of French cinema, Catherine Deneuve – , including the Matt Pop mixes, will be confirmed soon. Watch the video here:

Almighty release NRG Anthems Volume 4, bursting with 80’s High Energy classics and there are no less than 3 Matt Pop productions on it! One of them even features Matt Pop on vocals as he goes all pervy on us, “singing” lines like “tips in my g-string made my living” and “built like a truck, I’d bump for a buck”. Well, the song IS Male Stripper ofcourse, so those lyrics are to dance music what Shakespeare‘s words were to the theatre. The two other tunes that get the Matt Pop treatment – and thankfully, not his vocals – are No Regrets by the amazing Lonnie Gordon and the gorgeous classic Endless Road, performed here by Systematic. NRG Anthems Vol. 4 is available as CD-r, WAV and MP3. http://www.almightyrecords.com/product/ALMYCD086/

Gay Times, one of the world’s oldest and most read Gay men’s magazines, had an exclusive preview of the Samantha Fox tracks That’s What Love Can Do and A Second Chance; the tunes that were started by PWL in 1991 and finished by Matt Pop in 2012. Their verdict? The word “amazing” was used 🙂 Both tracks are included on the deluxe re-issue of the album One More Night, released on Monday July 2, 2012. The July issue of GT, featuring a huge PWL special, is out now. http://www.gaytimes.co.uk/
