I get many remix requests and – let’s be honest –  most never get made. One name that keeps cropping up is The Carpenters. Now, I am substantially partial to a bit of Karen and Richard, and I have finally found the time to re-work one of their classics. So, coming soon to YouTube, it’s Matt Pop‘s Summer mix of Top Of  The World! (To avoid any confusion: this will be an un-official, just-for-fun mix that will not be made available commercially).

Taking a break from working for living, breathing, 3 dimensional global pop stars, Matt Pop has remixed the theme songs of two Cartoon Network shows! The first is The Amazing World Of Gumball and it premieres today on Cartoon Network Asia / Pacific. With vocals by Cartoon Network’s Crazy Choir, it is 30 seconds of deliciously zany, funky silliness. It will air regularly in-between other shows to promote Gumball. Next up? Ben 10!

An update on the 3 mixes that Matt Pop has done of one of last year’s best pop/dance albums Glamazon by RuPaul: these mixes are now scheduled for release summer 2012 (no exact date yet) and they should tie in nicely with Ru‘s new tv show. That’s all she would tell me! So keep checking www.rupaul.com for more news.

Peter Wilson‘s new single Broken Man was released yesterday and is starting to chart all over the place! Number 27 on i-Tunes Australia’s new releases chart, 44 in Sweden, 37 in Greece and 29 in Finland – and that’s just on its first day! Broken Man is out now with mixes by Pete Hammond, Matt Pop and Sleazesisters. The physical cd single, with exclusive hidden track, is available from www.energiserecords.com.
