About Matt

Matt Pop is a producer and remixer from The Netherlands, known for his mixes for RuPaul, Almighty, Andy Bell, Peter Wilson, Nicki French, Hazell Dean, Cilla Black, Erasure, Bucks Fizz, Lonnie Gordon, Pierre Pascual and many others. He also has quite a reputation for doing unauthorised bootlegs that prove popular with fans and often also the original artists themselves. The many unofficial Matt Pop ABBA mixes have gained him a loyal follwing amongst fans of the Swedish Fab Four. His style is uplifting, vocal, melodic and electronic.

Thank you all for supporting and contributing to the MattPopOfficial Facebook page these past few weeks. Your response, especially to the free mix give-away (now expired) and Matt‘s latest ABBA bootleg Hey Hey Helen, has been very rewarding. So what’s next? The CD-r single of Endless Road by Peter Wilson and Sammy Paul  is now available from www.energiserecords.com, with all-new mixes by Luc Labarre and Argonaut, plus Matt Pop’s Road To Amsterdam club mix. This limited edition CD-r single is a little extra that Peter Wilson and Energise Records prepared for the many fans of Peter‘s album Laser Light, and it will not be available to download. Meanwhile, Matt Pop is already working on material for Peter‘s next album, to be released summer 2013. And at Almighty Records, the finishing touches are being put to We Love Matt Pop, the double album that will feature Matt Pop mixes from  many different artists. I can’t reveal the tracklisting just yet, but the release is approaching fast! More Matt Pop mixes still in the pipeline, but due for release in the coming months: When Boy Meets Boy (Matt Pop’s Cartoon Club Mix) by Matt Fishel, This Is My Life (single) and In The Name Of (album) by Hazell Dean, and 24 Hours (album) by Sammy Paul. Updates here or on www.facebook.com/MattPopOfficial.

Presents!

To celebrate the launch of Matt Pop‘s official Facebook page, and also to compensate for the demise of the Facebook fan group, Matt has prepared a nice little give-away for you all. Head over there now to collect your prize!

Matt Pop on Facebook

Sadly,  the Matt Pop Facebook fan group has been taken down, after a personal dispute with one of the group’s administrators.  It is a shame, since many of you seemed to enjoy the free mix give-aways, the Q & A’s and the Matt Pop Meet & Greet that were aranged through the group page, for example. Matt Pop wishes to express his gratitude to Andy and Hans for running the page and all the members over the years for their kind words and probing questions 🙂  However, Matt has finally decided to join the rest of the world, and become an official Facebook member  himself! So in addition to www.mattpop.nl, you can now also find Matt on Facebook,  for the latest news, updates, releases, photo’s and more.

Almighty Presents: We Love Matt Pop!

It’s official: this is going to be the best year ever for Matt Pop fans. Since late summer 2012, Almighty Records and Matt Pop have been working in secret on the ultimate Best Of Matt Pop compilation and it looks like all the hard work has paid off; the release of Almighty Presents: We Love Matt Pop is almost upon us! You will get a double album featuring Matt‘s most popular Almighty mixes, plus many tracks done for other labels. Some of these have never been released on cd before. We have also included a few brand new mixes, available here for the first time, plus at least 2 that have only been YouTube bootlegs – until now! To top it all off, we had to have an ABBA connection in there somewhere, too. No, we didn’t get permission to remix the real thing, but we have made sure that ABBA fans wil NOT be disappointed… Almighty Presents: We Love Matt Pop will be available on cd and as WAV or MP3 download. Tracklisting and release date coming soon!      http://www.almightyrecords.com/
