Spacedust

For other uses, see Space dust (disambiguation).

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

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] [3]}

The music video, despite being made in the late 1990s, was made to look cheap even though it cost over £10,000^{[ citation needed ]}. 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.
