PROJECT K'S DEBUT SINGLE IS OUT NOW
.jpg)
On 16th May, Project K released his first ever single. Featuring the soaring powerhouse vocals of Magenta Soulstar, "Mind Over Matter" is a cover of the lost Debbie Harry, later E.G. Daily, storming hi-NRG track, originally produced by UK hitmakers Stock, Aitken & Waterman!
Never a hit in the UK, and completely unavailable (in any of its guises) on digital platforms until now, this is Project K's love letter to the 80s. In fact, it's the first part in a trilogy of love letters to the 80s, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
The limited edition CD single contains five mixes, four of which are exclusive to that format, and is available to order now, using the link provided here.
The 3-track digital release on streaming sites features the single mix and shorter edits of two of the remixes.
The music video is also now live on YouTube.
OUT NOW
RetroPopBoy continues his series of immaculately chosen cover versions with his first single for 2025 a cover of the 1998 single from UK band Peach.
For this release, Project K produced mixes in two styles - a full-on hi-NRG assault (the "Hit Factory" mixes), and with more of a late 90s commercial-trance flavour (the "Pants Fanatics" club mixes. Could that be a nod to the hugely successful production & remix team that remixed the original single for Peach in '98...?)
In true RPB style, not only did he gift us self-drawn digital artwork for the single, but also another touching video, illustrating his own departure from his own Sorrow Town.
The video is on YouTube now and the single can be streamed and downloaded from all the usual sites.

The long-awaitied and much-anticipated album from sensational singer-songwriter Tee Webb, "Drive All Night", is out now on CD and all streaming and download platforms.
The album includes twelve incredible tracks -a mixture of covers and original compositions- with ten produced by Matt Pop and two by me. Those two are the last single "Here Comes The Rain Again" and a cover of Tears For Fears' glorious 1985 hit "Head Over Heels".
The limited edition CD also includes 4 bonus 12" mixes, including an exclusive extended re-edit of "Here Comes The Rain Again" by yours truly.
This really is an album made for pop lovers, by pop lovers, and Tee's voice is quite sensational!
OUT NOW
Sean Smith returned with a scorching new single for 2025 on 27th June. "Feel This Love" was written by Justin Busch & Dave Tough and produced by Matt Pop. It's a summery, uplifting track that is sure to delight Sean's army of fans.
Project K has provided the dance mixes, with an edit and club mix joining Matt Pop's two mixes on the CD single, which has now sold out. Project K's remixes are, however, now available digitally.
The is the fourth single of Sean's to be remixed by Project K, following "Fire", "Human", and "In Love With The Night".
PROJECT K ON VINYL: RSD SPECIALS
In 2025, for the second year in a row, Project K had remixes on two special Record Store Day releases.
The first of these was a brand new remix of Kim Wilde's incredible 2024 single "Trail of Destruction". As revealed by Kim & Ricky at the end of this podcast, Project K remixed the song in late 2024, and the edit of his Disco Destruction mix featured on a special splatter vinyl 10" single, along with another remix of "Trail of Destruction" and two remixes of follow-up single "Midnight Train". Both tracks are taken from Kim's new album "Closer" which is out now.
The second saw the vinyl debut of Project K's full length "All Night at 54" mix of Dannii Minogue's classic "I Begin To Wonder". This newly compiled "Neon Nights Remixed" LP features the best of the remixes commissioned for 2023's anniversary reissue of the album, plus an exclusive, brand new remix of "Put The Needle On It" by that track's original producers, Korea & Blackcell.
This remix album is also available on digital and streaming sites, making Project K's full-length remix available online for the first time!
NOW AVAILABLE DIGITALLY
Meanwhile, the first of two Record Store Day 2024 releases to include Project K remixes was this opulent zoetrope picture disc for Steps' monster hit "Deeper Shade of Blue". Steps are the most successful co-ed group in British chart history and have sold more than 22 million records. "Deeper Shade of Blue" was originally a UK top 5 hit in hit April 2000. This RSD-exclusive picture disc features six mixes of the classic single, including the brand new ‘Project K Hacienda Mix’. The reverse of the picture disc features a zoetrope of the iconic ‘Deeper Shade of Blue’ music video.
Project K's remix is a nine-minute epic, taking influences from disco, house and trance, proving that you can't keep a good pop tune down!
My remix of Deeper Shade of Blue is also available to download and stream from all the usual digital outlets. It has been made a part of a new 4-track remix EP, which also features the remixes by Steve Anderson, Sleaze Sisters and Blockster. Just use the links here to access your preferred platform.
ALSO AVAILABLE DIGITALLY
You can read all about the three Project K remixes for this set, and how they were conceived and created, on the Selected Remixes page of this site.
The second of the 2024 releases to include Project K remixes was this beautiful transparent red double vinyl set for Kim Wilde's "Special Disco Mixes". Featuring the ten remixes from the fourth disc in the "Love Blonde: The RAK Years" box set (see below), this exclusive release is the only place you will find the Luke Mornay, Matt Pop & Project K remixes of those early Kim singles on vinyl.
With stunning artwork and design (using previously unseen photos) by Tom Parker for Cherry Red, the release looks both current and 80s-appropriate, just as the remixes were intended to sound.
NEWS
The wonderful Teases & Dares blog site has published its annual Best Remixes of the Year post.
Project K has three entries in this year's top 30, with Kim Wilde taking spots 14 ("Love Blonde") and 30 ("Water On Glass").
But, most exciting is that the Project K remix of Ricky Wilde x Nina's "Videotheque" has stolen the number one spot!
This is a huge honour and is very much appreciated. Project K finds himself surrounded by some incredible talent, including well-known names and lesser-known brilliance!

BOX SET BLISS #1
"Love Blonde: The RAK Years" is the most comprehensive collection of Kim Wilde’s RAK output ever assembled. Boasting 50 tracks across four CDs, it brings together Kim's three classic studio albums, "Kim Wilde", "Select" and "Catch as Catch Can", each remastered and expanded with bonus tracks. Even more exciting is the new "Special Disco Mixes" album, which features ten Kim singles (from across various territories) extended and reinvented in the spirit of the 80s.
I have provided three of the six brand new mixes for this disc, with all-new versions of "Water on Glass" (UK #11), "View From as Bridge" (UK #16) and "Love Blonde" (UK #23).
You can read a bit of detail about the remixes on the "Selected Remixes" page of this site, some of which is taken from the liner notes for the new CD box set, which includes interviews with Luke Mornay, Matt Pop and me on our creative processes.
You can stream or download the whole set now and the 4CD set is available from all good retailers.

BOX SET BLISS #2
Unbelievably, it's 20 years since Dannii Minogue released her electro-pop masterpiece LP, "Neon Nights", which included the huge hits "Who Do You Love Now", "Put the Needle On It", Don't Wanna Lose This Feeling" and "I Begin to Wonder".
Dannii & London Records celebrated this Danniiversary with a range of amazing products, even commissioning a handful of new mixes to enhance the offering, including Initial Talk's reworking of "Don't Wanna Lose This Feeling", Luke Mornay's take on "For the Record", AMYL's "Blame It On The Music" and my own remixes of "I Begin to Wonder".
It was an absolute honour to remix such a classic pop/club track (and personal fave!) and all the mixes were approved by Dannii herself. You'll find my 8 minute 40 second 'All Night at 54' mix on the standard CD, all three vocal mixes on the sumptuous 100+ track seven-CD set, and my 'Night at 54' radio edit on the store-exclusive cassette (now sold out) and on streaming platforms.
There is also a completely different, more contemporary Piano Mix, which is exclusive to the seven-CD set.

BOX SET BLISS #3
I am delighted to confirm that I have provided no fewer than 20 new mixes for the new, career-spanning Ace of Base CD singles boxset, which is out now from Demon Music.
Ace of Base should need no introduction – their debut album sold over 21 million copies around the world and was the best-selling album of 1994 in the US!
To work on classic tracks like “All That She Wants” and “The Sign” was an honour and a pleasure! But just as exciting was to turn “The Juvenile” back into a Bond theme and to drag “Would You Believe” onto the dance floor at Studio 54.
I also created a near-13-minute Project K “Ace of Clubs” MegaRemix that welds nine of their hits to an all-new electro-disco backing track. This is not your average slice ‘n’ splice megamix.
For more detail on the mixes, just visit the Selected Remixes page. For a full list of the 20 mixes, pop along to my Remixography.
