Soho were a London trio built around identical twin sisters, Jacqui and Pauline Cuff, with producer Tim London, credited as Timothy Brinkhurst, handling the machines. Before they were Soho they had played as Groovalax, and the lineup around the core three shifted over the years, with Liam Gillick, Eds Chesters, Leigh Gorman and Barry Smith all passing through.

Their moment was "Hippychick", from the 1990 album Goddess on Atco: a hazy, loping slab of pop that sounded like the '80s dissolving into a dance club at dawn, the sisters' voices cool and detached over a groove that never lets go. It has stayed on the countdowns ever since, a one-song legacy that has aged better than plenty of whole careers.
