Harry Peat is a British Classically trained producer, writer, remixer, and programmer, whose work has included remixing Duran Duran's "What Happens Tomorrow" in 2005.

Biography
Harry’s musical journey started with his first piano lesson at the age of 7. Five inspired years later and with a notebook brimming with his own musical etchings he came into contact with his very first synthesiser. Armed with a medium that could do justice to his musical imaginings he spent his teens weaned on a diet of 80’s pop, Vangelis and Jean Michelle Jarre. At 18, with the rumblings of a nascent dance movement in the London clubs around him, Harry enrolled to study Commercial Music at the Royal Academy of Music.

It was while at music college that he landed his first single release on Test Pressing Records under his pseudonym “HP Source”. Entitled "Pressure", the track got plays on Brandon Block and Alex P’s Kiss FM drivetime show, and Harry’s step onto the first rung of the ladder was secured. He was soon taken on by Red Parrot and released two singles through their label. The first a double-A side featuring "Slide" and "Jupiter Rising", and a second one "Fligthpath", with support from Sasha, Paul van Dyk and Ashley Casselle to name but a few.

Taking inspiration from a vast spectrum of music, from the haunting work of avante-garde composer Arvo Part through to the ambient sounds of Ulrich Schnauss, his range of influences are as diverse as the elements that constitute his music.

Harry’s remix output has been ticking over, most recently turning in an excellent rework of Cerf, Mitiska & Jaren's "Light The Skies" (Baroque). Other notable efforts include Duran Duran "What Happens Tomorrow" (Epic), Mendoza "Nothing Without Me" (club chart number 2), Seventh Sun "Melody" (A&G), Triple-X "Come Closer" (Kamoflage) and Izdatso "Western Nights"(Nettwerk US), featured on Hernan Cattaneo’s South America comp.
