Working from the basement in Pete Waterman's PWL Studios, the home of producers Stock Aitken Waterman (on the top floor), Phil Harding (often working with production partner, Ian Curnow) mixed dance and club versions of many big name artists (Pet Shop Boys, Diana Ross, Michael Jackson/The Jackson 5, Rick Astley, Depeche Mode, The Four Tops, ABC, Erasure, Five Star, Eighth Wonder, Jesus Jones, Voice Of The Beehive, 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.
