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.

1992 was a year that SAW practically folded but another production company started worldwide fame. That was Swedish Cheiron production with Dr Alban and Ace of Base records. Surprisingly enough their success story lasts until this day. I wonder whether SAW could last longer if they tried to adapt to new trends.

22:50 he’s talking about “After the love has gone” remix that sounded like Chief inspector by Wally Badarou which I thought was the original version at first

Don’t care what anyone says. I remember in 1987-1989 every song from SAW had ‘that’ beat. If there had been AI intelligence at the time this would have been the company that had it in the basement. So many songs within such a short time with so much Top 20 chart success. They definitely had a Midas touch but just for a short time. Great, happy, feel good songs, unlike now (2023). Happy times back then 😊. Watching ‘The Hitman and her’ was hard to watch with Pete Waterman and Michaela Strachaern was pretty embarrassing

There was two samples they always used, one was “victim of pleasure” Justin Strauss mix and the other was Kym Mazelle “wait” beats and pieces mix and a lot was Roland tr727 factory demo rhythms

Such a charismatic interviewer 🙄 I'm wondering when it was recorded. Around 2010 maybe?

With the exception of Donna Summer, the superstar, some of the other acts were pretty bad, they did not make it in North America.

Bananarama a US #1 with "Venus" and #4 with "I Heard A Rumour." Lots of other SAW produced songs did well in the US. Even "Dead or Alive" had good success with "You Spin Me Round."
