Spin Spin Sugar

About Spin Spin Sugar

"Spin Spin Sugar" is a single released by Sneaker Pimps from their debut album Becoming X. The album version is in true Sneaker Pimps style and format. There is a driving bass line produced by a synthesizer keyboard. As the bass drives, there is a second synth loop playing above. The track continues for approximately 3 minutes and 31 seconds, and sampled Luciano Berio's 'Visage' (1961) in the portion featuring a woman crying and speaking in a foreign dialect. The song was featured in The Girl Next Door soundtrack in its radio edit form. A music video was made for the radio edit version and features the bandmates in what appears to be a highly colorized motel room, with many references to the film Psycho. "Spin Spin Sugar" was further popularized in a speed garage remix by Armand Van Helden, which is sometimes credited with breaking speed garage into the mainstream for the first time. The remix appears in Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2 and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. Redbull.com included the remix in their "Honorable mentions" list of "underground UK garage classics that still sound fresh today". more »
