"Spin Spin Sugar" was the fourth single from Becoming X, the 1996 debut album by English electronic band Sneaker Pimps, and it reached the shops in March 1997 on Clean Up. The album version runs on the band's usual engine: a synthesizer keyboard pumping out a driving bass line while a second synth loop circles above it, with Kelli Dayton's voice drifting over the lot.
Chris Corner, Liam Howe and Ian Pickering wrote it, with Corner on electric guitar, Howe on keyboard, Joe Wilson on bass and David Westlake on drums, and Line of Flight produced it with the band, recording and mixing it too. It found a second life through Armand van Helden's speed garage remix, which some say was the first record to break speed garage out to a mainstream crowd.
