Peter was hired by the infamous Rap-a-Lot records [1] and was an engineer and\or mixer on several Geto Boys records as well as a number of solo projects for individual band members. For his efforts at Rap-A-Lot, he earned his first gold record from the RIAA.

The 1990s saw Reardon producing and engineering for a large variety of bands in the U.S. and Mexico. Peter was for a time president of Waxploitation records. During the 1990s, he created several of his own pieces of recording equipment. This eventually led him to found Shadow Hills Industries around the year 2000. Subsequently, he moved the company and himself back to Texas settling in the Austin area.

On October 13, 2011, Reardon made a little seen appearance outside industry conferences when he was interviewed on Pensado’s Place.[2] In the interview Peter discusses his past work, his philosophy on creating equipment and music production. Peter also discusses his affinity for secrets and how he has the ability to allow the company that sells his equipment to deal with customers allowing him to use the company website to do something other than sell product. Dave Pensado goes on to say that Shadow Hills equipment has become an industry standard.
