Spacedust

Spacedust were the British production duo of Paul Glancy and Duncan Glasson.

For other uses, see Space dust (disambiguation).

They had a number one hit single in the UK Singles Chart in 1998 with "Gym and Tonic".[1] The track was technically a cover of Bob Sinclar's single "Gym Tonic," although the song only credits Spacedust as the sole writer and producer. A full release of Sinclar's original song was refused by Jane Fonda, who was sampled on the record.[2]

The music video, despite being made in the late 1990s, was made to look cheap even though it cost over £10,000. It regularly features on VH1's "worst videos" lists.

After this number one, they released a further hit "Let's Get Down!",[1] which was based on Chic's "I Want Your Love". Both tracks were released on the East West Records label.

Controversy

Spacedust has stolen in the past several tunes from artists like Thomas Bangalter. Paul Glancy also used the artist name, Red Kult, which stole other tunes. For many years Spacedust managed to get away with it. [3]
