MATT MOSS PRESENTS: BETTE OF ROSES — THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY REMIXES (PART ONE)

MATT MOSS PRESENTS: BETTE OF ROSES — THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY REMIXES (PART ONE)

In the summer of 1995, Bette Midler released Bette of Roses, a lush mid 90s adult contemporary record that featured the lead single “To Deserve You”. WEA issued dance remixes for the track, which peaked at number two on the Billboard Dance Chart and remains a beloved LGBT anthem. The follow up single “In This Life”, however, received no remixes, very little promotion, and momentum for the album soon came to a halt, even though several tracks were natural candidates for remix treatment.

To celebrate the album’s 30th anniversary, and in honor of Bette Midler’s 80th birthday, Matt Moss has remixed six key tracks from the album using isolated vocal stems from the original recordings. Each track features entirely new production, reimagined for dance floors while preserving the heart and soul of the originals.

We are pleased to present two EPs, each offering both airplay edits and full club mixes, crafted for DJs, radio shows, and lovers of dance pop nostalgia.

Part One includes:

"Bed of Roses" (Matt Moss Mix)


The original is a soft, reflective ballad, but as the namesake inspiration behind Bette of Roses, it’s essentially the album’s title track. Matt reshapes it into a shimmering house cut that preserves the song’s emotional core while lifting it firmly onto the dance floor.

"I Know This Town" (Matt Moss Anthem Mix) 


Matt turns the country tinged mid tempo track into a widescreen, hands in the air moment with big pianos, bold synths, and a fabulous breakdown built for peak hour energy.

"In This Life" (Matt Moss 2000 Mix)


A tender ballad becomes a late 90s / early 2000s inspired club anthem, driven by big pianos, silky arps, rolling drums, and a dramatic lift that recalls the spirit of classic Thunderpuss or HQ2 productions.

Stay tuned for Part Two!
