Case Studies

Multi-award winning actress, Katherine Kelly- known to millions as 'Coronation Street's' fiery Becky McDonald- reprised her role as Weatherfield's diamond in the rough to take the lead on the evocative ballad, "If It's Too Late", from the "Coronation Street: Rogues, Angels, Heroes & Fools" album.

Written and co-produced by musical luminary, Trisha Ward, it was first released as a stand alone single in its original form towards the end of November 2010. PMG Music were then asked to remix the single for a re-release in the clubs.

We produced three different mixes in order to reach the widest possible audience. The ultra contemporary "PMG's Strength And Pride Mix" produced for the mainstream clubs. The "PMG's By'eck Becky Mix" was more pop fused for the dance-pop clubs and our legendary 'Mixmaster' Pete Hammond came on board to deliver the retro styled, "Pete Hammond's Coronation-Beat Mix".

PMG Music were approached by Energise Records during 2010 to remix the new single of pop favorite, Hazell Dean.

A remake of Hazell's classic hit, "They Say It's Gonna Rain" we provided two mixes for the label, "PMG's Catz 'n' Dogz Mix" and "PMG's Monsoon Mix". Both mixes were released on 14th February 2011.

Hazell was so pleased with the PMG mixes, particulary the "Monsoon Mix" , she requested that we cut a special backing track for her so she can perform it live at her forthcoming shows.

PMG Music were delighted to team up with multi talented Italian singer, songwriter, producer and radio presenter, Deadstar in January 2009. We started out by remixing his single, "Someone Else's Eyes"- a duet with legendary icon, Amanda Lear.

In November 2009, we then remixed several of Deadstar's original Amanda Lear productions as part of our "Brief Encounters Reloaded" project.

We have continued to work with Deadstar throughout 2010 on two projects, "Deadstar Sings Michael Jackson"- his personal tribute to the late King of Pop- and a brand new single, a cover of the popular Amanda Lear track, "Doin' Fine" which is scheduled for release in 2011.

With over 45 million records sold to date, what can be said about actress, writer, artist and disco goddess Amanda Lear, that hasn’t already? The enigmatic and captivating icon started working with PMG Music at the end of 2008 to record the Boney M sampled “Doin’ Fine� for her 14th studio album, “Brief Encounters�. In the spring of 2009, we were then commissioned to remix her new album’s lead single- a sensual duet with Italian singer, Deadstar- entitled, “Someone Else’s Eyes�. We delivered two mixes, the "All Eyes On The Dance Floor Mix" and the "Fully Loaded NRG Mix".

Following this, in the autumn of 2009, PMG Music began working on a new project with Amanda's Italian label, Just Good Music For Your Ears, and together devised, developed and subsequently released, "Brief Encounters Reloaded"; a dance album comprised of remixed tracks taken from the earlier "Brief Encounters" album. "Brief Encounters Reloaded" saw the PMG/JGM partnership bringing in top talent, the likes of Boy George, Pete Hammond and Dave Ford & Ian Curnow to provide remixes to compliment our own in house mixes. Amidst much anticipation, the album was released in Europe during May 2010 and was superseded by a special remix single of "Someone Else's Eyes" again released jointly by PMG Music and Just Good Music.

The album has been a success for us in many ways. It's our first self released product both digitally and physically. We also secured an exclusive deal with premier dance label, Almighty Records to sell "Brief Encounters Reloaded" via their online retail store, the Almighty Solar Site. It was released via Almighty Records in July making this the first new release by Amanda Lear to be officially released in the UK in over a decade.

The album was launched at the Manchester Gay Pride, 'Big Weekend' in August 2010 and was played to throngs of revelers at the opening and closing ceremonies.

In addition, the PMG Web Team also provided the English content for Amanda's multi-lingual official "Brief Encounters" website.

Dubbed Simon Cowell’s “Girl Friday�, ‘X Factor’ mentor and TV personality, Sinitta is one of the original 80’s pop princesses. She teamed up with PMG Music in 2007 to work on recording new material- her first sessions in over 10 years.

Carl M Cox and Nathan Thomas wrote and produced the song, "The Day You Said Goodbye" which became the lead track for Sinitta's first ever official hits compilation. They also produced a contemporary remake of Sinitta's classic hit "Toy Boy". Carl then joined forces with legendary producer and 'Mixmaster', Pete Hammond, one of Sinitta's former producers. Pete's authentic retro style remix of "The Day You Said Goodbye" played a stunning homage to the now infamous PWL sound that had scored Sinitta so many hits in the 80's and has enjoyed a recent renaissance.

October 2009 saw the release by Cherry Pop Records, in association with PMG Music and Sony Music, of "The Hits+ Collection 86-09: Right Back Where We Started From". The 33 track double CD anthology was co-ordinated from conception to completion by Carl M Cox and was the culmination of three years dedicated, and at times gruelling, work by Carl and the PMG team. Not only was the album the first hits retrospective for Sinitta, every single track was digitally remastered from the original studio master tapes, presenting the music in crystal clear audio as had never before been heard. The album also saw the first time release of a number of recordings that for one reason or another had remained in the archives at Pete Waterman's London studio. Sales of this album have been remarkable and exceeded all expectations.

Following this, in November 2009 PMG Music licensed the worldwide digital media rights to our Sinitta catalogue to Sony Music Entertainment UK and "The Hits+ Collection" was limited edition released across iTunes and all other digital platforms.

A further brand new 2010 remix of "Toy Boy (Reloaded)", entitled "PMG's Even Bigger Bicep Mix" was licensed to Energise Records and released on their album, "Danger! Hi-NRG Vol. 1" in June 2010.

Modernization first came onto the music scene with the 2006 dance number, "Sexy Sexy Lover" featuring Gloria Garcia on Klone Records' "Mad About The Boy 15" album.
