Paul Hardcastle
b. 10 December 1957, London, England. This producer, mixer, composer and keyboard wizard was one of the UK dance music scene's first crossover successes. He first worked in a hi-fi shop and developed an interest in electronics in his teens. Hardcastle made his recording debut in 1981 on "Don't Depend On Me", a single by UK soul act Direct Drive. He subsequently formed First Light with vocalist Derek Green, with whom he had worked on the Direct Drive sessions. First Light's output included a deplorable cover version of America's "A Horse With No Name". Hardcastle then formed his own Total Contral Records label and enjoyed two number 1 dance hits in 1984 with "You're The One For Me"/"Daybreak"/"A.M." and "Rainforest". The latter was released on the Bluebird label in the UK, and became a big club hit in America on the Profile Records label.
