Sneaker Pimps - Spin Spin Sugar

Go back, waaaay back to 1996 and a unknown trip-hop group by the name of Sneaker Pimps appears on the UK, and subsequently North American, scene following in the steps of genre luminaries like Portishead and Massive Attack. "6 Underground" finds huge success amongst scores of people, and features in the movie "The Saint". Following up on this is "Spin Spin Sugar", which isn't quite as popular, but a remix by a certain Armand van Helden absolutely explodes in the nightclub scene, introducing me, and certainly plenty of others, to the "garage" style of music.

Wait a minute, that guy is also behind the Duck Sauce song too! Two awesomes, both by this Armand fellow? Coincidence? I think not.


Darkly awesome!
