Matt Pop bumper crop!

November 2012 may now be officially referred to as Matt Pop month! Matt‘s mixes will be coming at you from all directions,  so here is a little round up: Laser Light – the single by Peter Wilson, produced and co-written by Matt Pop, has been out for a week and hit the iTunes new releases charts all across Europe (Spain #2, Finland #5, Norway #8, Italy #10, Denmark #13). Available to download now, or get the cd-singles from http://www.energiserecords.com Also just released: Almighty presents: We Love Passion, featuring 4 Matt Pop mixes on the 2-disc edition, plus 2 more on the 3-disc version. The albums feature the 2012 remixes, plus the original 80’s versions of tracks from the legendary Passion Records label. Available as 2- cd album, 3-cd album, WAV album or MP3 album from http://www.almightyrecords.com Hazell Dean‘s amazing version of Shattered Glass (the beloved Laura Brannigan classic) is out on Novemver 11th, featuring the Matt Pop Radio and Club mixes. Also, watch out for Hazell‘s next album, as there will be quite a few Matt Pop productions on there! Digital release of Shattered Glass on November 11th, or order the cd single now from http://www.energiserecords.com  It has been an incredible year for Australia’s Sammy Paul, with 2 massive club hits under her belt already (Why and Supersonic Lover), her live appearances in London last June, and now Gimme All Your Money, her explosive new single. Written and produced by pop powerhouse team T1 (Peter – there he is again – Wilson and Chris Richards) and mixed by Matt Pop, it’s a sarcastic, tongue-in-cheeck song about superficial, no-talent wannabe celebrities. And it comes in clean and dirty versions!  Out on Monday, November 5th, physical cd single from http://www.energiserecords.com  Finally – for now – Life-Work featuring Karen Orchin with the wonderfully dreamy Wonder Where You Are. The slow Matt Pop Radio and Extended Mixes are released digitally on November 8th, along with the fantastic Pete Hammond and Andy Haldane club mixes. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B009XUGCJ6  Phew! I need to lie down for a bit now…
