Some of you have been paying attention to my discography and asking why the Matt Pop mixes of Daddy Cool by the incomparable Unit-911 have not been released yet. The reason is a pretty sad one. Unit-911, or Alph to his friends, was in a very bad car accident last year, just before shooting of the Daddy Cool video was supposed to take place. He suffered serious injuries and has been recovering ever since. The good news is, he’s is out and about again and – this will be of special interest to some of you – back to the gym! So naturally, his work schedule has been seriously re-arranged but he told me he is picking up where he left off last year very soon. As always, you will find updates on the release right here!
Hazell Dean update
Hazell‘s new single, featuring a banging Matt Pop club mix, will not be released in February / March, as was first intended, but in April. This is from Hazell‘s blog:
“Im glad that everyone is looking forward to my cover of Sharon Redd‘s ” In the Name of Love”. It has always been my favourite of her tracks, and the one I chose to sing at a tribute to her at “The Fridge” in Brixton, London not long after her passing. I have so many happy memories of Sharon, especially the times that she spent in my home in the last few weeks before she died.
The guys at Energise tell me that the release is scheduled for April, so not long to wait now…….”
