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.

Déjà Vu: Moonlight Shadow – Matt Pop Mix!

Spotted on the Almighty Music Player: the first preview of the Matt Pop Club Mix of Moonlight Shadow, a brandnew recording by Déjà Vu featuring Tasmin. The nice people at Almighty Records asked their fans which song they would most like to hear performed by Déjà Vu, and this huge Mike Oldfield / Maggy Reilly hit won! Release is scheduled for early spring.

Tracklist:
01. Almighty Essential Radio Edit
02. Almighty Essential Club Mix
03. Matt Pop Radio Edit

My Heart Will Go On?

Ok, since the Almighty Crew have already let the cat out of the bag: one of the tracks remixed by Matt Pop for the upcoming Best Of Déjà Vu project on Almighty Records is their best selling song My Heart Will Go On! You know; that song from that film, about that big boat, and that guy drowning at the end. The gorgeous vocal by Déjà Vu’s Tasmin is still as powerful today as it was in 1998, and Matt Pop‘s Club Mix is nothing to sniff at either!

“Unprotectable” by David Christopher

Matt Pop did a clubmix of Unprotectable, a gorgeous song by talented British singer David Christopher. The original version features on a compilation of love songs from Energise Records, Love Is Beautiful.  You can listen to previews here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0070FPRNI/ref=dm_sp_alb?ie=UTF8&qid=1328271767&sr=1-1-catcorr The Matt Pop mixes, along with other versions,  will be part of the single release, later this year.

Update and…more goodies!

Matt Pop is working like crazy! Hardly time to sleep, clean the house or visit his grannie, he has been pounding his instruments like a madman, hammering out mixes for all and sundry. There will be four Matt Pop productions on Peter Wilson’s upcoming album Laser Light. Two PWL-style tracks and two electro pop tunes. Work on all four tracks has begun and it all sounds very promising! Also, Matt Pop has just delivered a mix for french alternative electro artist Pierre Pascual, a beautiful track that should be released this spring. Expect a retro dance mix with some delicious 80’s and 90’s sounds! Also, 2 Matt Pop mixes have been finished for an upcoming Best Of Deja Vu project on Almighty Records. Very excited about these two mixes, more details to follow. Then, there is the Sammy Paul album “24 Hours”, featuring Matt Pop on remix / producing duties on some of the tracks AND a possible Matt Mix for the Queen Of High Energy, the delightful Hazell Dean ! Keep checking this website for release updates.

And: the Matt Pop fan site on Facebook now has over 400 members! You silly lot. Thanks to webmaster Andy and to Hans, for keeping Matt Pop alive on Facebook (yes, it’s true: Matt Pop himself is not on Facebook – spooky, eh?). So to celebrate this little triumph, it is giveaway time again! And this time, Matt is really spoiling you; no less than 8 full Matt Pop Club mixes, 2 of them never before heard anywhere, others that were favourites on my former YouTube page before it got taken down. And I have actually included the very mix that made YouTube terminate my account at the time, after a copyright claim by Sony, the gorgeous trance anthem Huelo A Soledad by Ana Gabriel! If you don’t know her yet, just wait till you hear this lady sing – she will break your heart….  Download your 100+ MB of musical madness here:
