born 10. December 1957, London, England. Paul is a producer, mixer, composer and keyboard wizard specialising
in dance orientated product.
He first worked in a hi-fi shop and developed
an interest in electronics in his teens. His first group was First Light,
alongside Derek Green, whose output included a deplorable 'Horse With No
Name'. After four solo minor hits in 1984, '19', a record about the Vietnam
conflict utilising spoken news reports, went straight to number 1 in the
UK in 1985. The follow up, 'Just For The Money', was based on the Great
Train Robbery and boasted the voices of Bob Hoskins and Sir Laurence Olivier.
Further singles were progressively less successful before he scored with 'Papa's Got A Brand New
Pigbag' under the pseudonym Silent Underdog.
He
also wrote the Top Of The Pops theme, 'The Wizard', in 1986, before switching
to production for young funk band LW5, providing remixes for anyone from
Third World to Ian Dury. Another production credit was the last ever Phil
Lynott single, coincidentally called 'Nineteen'. Other engagements came
with Carol Kenyon (previously vocalist on Heaven 17's 'Temptation') most
notably on her 1986 Top 10 hit 'Don't Waste My Time'.
Recently Hardcastle
has 'retired' to his Essex home studio and releases records under pseudonyms
such as the Def Boys, Beeps International, Jazzmasters and Kiss The Sky (the last of which is Hardcastle and Jaki Graham). He is also founder of
his own label, Fast Forward, and has recently written the theme music to
two BBC nature series, Supersense and its sequel, Lifesense.
