Miami greats
2000
Named in honour of the Miami club (though some say it was to gain as much attention at WMC as possible), the funky house track with the cut-glass vocals of Sophie Ellis Bextor was huge, only Posh Spice keeping it off the No 1 spot.
2001
First dropped on the Space Terrace, Peter Black’s white label remix of the 80s classic didn’t take long to attract the attention of A&R men. A few months on it soared to No 5 in the UK singles chart.
