Get your flares from the attic and dust off that disco ball again; Matt Pop has just finished his Disco-tastic club mix of Party Girl, the debut single by the fabulous, full-figured, fun-loving girls Xelle. One of the three lovely ladies is Mimi Imfurst, a contestant on season 3 of RuPaul’s Drag Race. You can watch the original video of Party Girl here:

More details on the availability of the Matt Pop Club Mix will follow soon!
The single “Stereo” by Peter Wilson, including the PWL-influenced Matt Pop club mix, will finally be released on June 6th. Yes people: we have an actual date now so take out your diary and make a note! And you better start putting aside some money, too, because the full-length album, also called Stereo, will be released three weeks later, on Monday June 27th. This delicious album is brimming with 80’s inspired, hook-filled electro pop and High-NRG, with no less than 7 tracks produced by Matt Pop. They include last year’s succesfull debut single Intoxicated, the Erasure-esque summer bubblegum that is I Live For Love, the kitschy eurohouse stomper Better Run Away and the sultry downtempo electro ballad One, featuring a very impressive vocal by mr. Wilson.
And as if that wasn’t enough good news, I am assured by the big bosses that the album The Bounce Back by the lovely Haywoode, is really, really coming out this year, too! Originally scheduled for release a year ago, it got pushed back a couple of times, while Sid Haywoode was moving to new management. The Matt Pop-remixed teaser single Getting Closer was already a club hit and fan favourite last summer and I would be very pleased for you to hear the rest of that excellent album. The wait has been long enough! Watch this space…
May 23 will see the release of Total Eclipse Of The Heart 2011, a collection of thumping new mixes of the Nicki French classic. Apart from the Glamma mixes, the Twilight Mix and the Total Bromance mixes, it will include the fabulous, full-on Matt Pop Club Mix and the Matt Pop Club Edit. A soaring, classic melody, dramatic lyrics, the powerfull pipes of the gorgeous Ms. French and a relentless hi-NRG beat make this one hell of a remix!

The song was written by Peter Wilson, Dave Ford & Ian Curnow, and produced by Ford/Curnow. This is one of two tracks they produced for the forthcoming album “Stereo” , apart from the smashing ” Back To The Borough” remix they did of “Intoxicated”. The single Stereo will be out very soon, the album will follow shortly after.
