ABOUT PHIL HARDING...
Working from the basement in Pete Waterman's PWL Studios, the home of producers Stock Aitken Waterman (on the top floor), Phil Harding and Ian Curnow remixed and produced dance and club versions of many big name artists in the 1980s (Pet Shop Boys, Diana Ross, Michael Jackson/The Jackson 5, Rick Astley, Depeche Mode, The Four Tops, ABC, Erasure, Five Star, Eighth Wonder, etc) as well as remixing/mixing many classic Stock Aitken Waterman hits (Dead Or Alive, Kylie Minogue, Bananarama, Mel & Kim and many more).

During the 1990s, Harding/Curnow ran P&E Music from The Strongroom studio complex, producing hits for artists such as East 17 (including Christmas No.1 ‘Stay Another Day’), Deuce, 911, Let Loose, Caught In The Act and Boyzone (including No. 1 ‘Words’) - and working with top managers such as Tom Watkins (also Pet Shop Boys and Bros), Louis Walsh and Simon Cowell.

PHIL HARDING's new book 'POP MUSIC PRODUCTION' for music creators, students and 90s pop music fans looks at the business, culture, songwriting and production processes of the era and today... Along with his sought-after 12-Point Mixing Plan, fascinating production case studies and behind-the-scenes working with artists such as EAST 17 and BOYZONE, and managers TOM WATKINS, LOUIS WALSH and SIMON COWELL.
