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.

Tell It To My Heart

The Matt Pop Club Mix of Tell It To My Heart by feisty Raquela – a cover of the Taylor Dayne classic ofcourse – was added to the Ultimate Club DJ Pack for December on Cd Pool, where it rubs shoulders with the likes of Rita Ori, Enrique Iglesias and Avicii, to name but a few. Cd Pool is Europe’s number one promo service for DJ’s,  so it’s great to see the lovely Raquela getting recognition this way! http://www.cdpool.com/catalogue/disc/remix-december-2012/

BIG! GAY! ANTHEM!

Those of you who are familiar with Matt Pop’s work will know that he is not averse to a bit of camp every now and then, and his latest production with Hong Kong’s finest DJ Stonedog is camper than a row of tents. Yes, it’s Big Gay Anthem, a song so gay that even some gay radio stations have complained about it – which ofcourse amused DJ Stonedog and Matt no end. Written by DJ Stonedog,  produced by Matt, and sung by lovely upcoming dance diva Thara, the song consists entirely of titles of gay classics (whatever those are, right?) so the lyrics are a pub quiz waiting to happen (“name at least 5 song titles mentioned in the second verse of Big Gay Anthem!”).  It was supposed to be out on iTunes last week, but there has been a small hiccup with our Apple friends; however,  you can download the Matt Pop radio edit,  club mix and club mix without rap now: https://itunes.apple.com/nl/album/big-gay-anthem-feat.-thara/id578676283  To watch the YouTube preview, go here: http://youtu.be/jc6I25EXhVc

Tarzan Boy (Matt Pop mixes) out now!

Just released on Almighty Records: Tarzan Boy by Amazonia, a cover of the Baltimora classic. Included are the Almighty mixes and Matt Pop mixes, (including the delicious Matt Pop Dub).  Some of you will be familiar with the Matt Pop bootleg mix of Tarzan Boy (now removed from YouTube), which was getting very popular, very fast. The Amazonia mixes are similar, but they also incorporate some elements from the “Summer Version”, the alternative mix at the time of the Baltimora original.  Get the Amazonia CD-R, MP3, or WAV here: http://www.almightyrecords.com/product/ALMY385/  You can hear previews of the Matt Pop Radio Mix and the Matt Pop Dub on YouTube: http://youtu.be/jc6I25EXhVc
