Paul hardcastle - 19
- •
Over the last few years Paul has rekindled his interest with dance Music and has also started doing remixes again. Last summer Pacha Ibiza released Beats of the Beach, an album of dance music recorded and mixed by Paul.
Most recently, Paul has realised one of his dreams by releasing the much anticipated collaboration ‘Rainforest / What’s Going On’. No easy feat, the negotiations to use the late Marvin Gaye’s vocals took Hardcastle almost a year. But perhaps due to the message in both ‘19’ and ‘What’s Going On’, and their commentary on the effect of war, Marvin Gaye’s family finally granted their blessing. The single was on the A list at Smooth Radio UK for 15 weeks and made the top 5 on Billboard’s Jazz charts.
Paul’s early Remixes include 5 Star, Luther Vandros, Change, Barry White, Ian Dury and the Blockheads, Phil Lynot, Thin Lizzy, D Train, George McCrae, Daniel Boone, Hiroshima, Direct Drive, The Deff Boyz, LFO and Julian Jonah.

Paul Hardcastle: King Of The Castle
Paul White catches up with the man who pioneered the art of radical remixes in the '80s, and has gone on to become a hugely successful producer and songwriter.
Paul Hardcastle is well known in the British music industry, but he doesn't seem to have the superstar status that his impressive history of top‑selling records, on both sides of the Atlantic, might suggest. In part, this is because Paul has tended to release both his own projects and remixes under other names. From the mid‑'80s, Paul produced or remixed tracks by Barry White, D‑Train, Hiroshima, Ian Dury, and Phil Lynott, as well as recording the unforgettable single '19' back in 1985 — in all, he's sold over 10 million records!
Paul's '80s Top Of The Pops theme tune was an instantly recognisable classic, and more recently he's written music for film and TV, including the Spice Girls' movie Spiceworld.
Probably the main reason for Paul's low profile is that he likes a normal life — he's deliberately kept his bigger projects in the USA so that when he's had enough he can come home and
