Beatmasters
Real Name:
Richard Walmsley, Amanda Glanfield, Paul Carter
Profile:
British producer trio who enjoyed considerable success in the late 80's/early 90's. As well as producing Yazz' smash hit "Stand Up For Your Love Rights" in 1988, they also landed several Top 20 hits under the Beatmasters moniker with a series of guest vocalists: The Cookie Crew ("Rok Da House"), Betty Boo ("Hey DJ / I Can't Dance (To That Music You're Playing)"), Merlin MC ("Who's in the House") and P.P. Arnold ("Burn It Up"). These hits were all featured on their debut album "Anywayawanna". After their second album "Life & Soul" (1991), The Beatmasters ditched their own recording career in favour of production work and remixes for artists such as The Shamen, Moby, Erasure, Pet Shop Boys and Marc Almond.
