Formed in Hartlepool, UK, Sneaker Pimps immediately emerged as a musical force and pioneer of the trip-hop genre with their debut album ‘Becoming X’ (1996).
Known for clever sampling, bittersweet melodies and a moody sound which intricately combined organic/electronic production and morphed between female and male vocal performances, they landed in the UK Top 40 five times during their initial seven year run with tracks such as ‘Six Underground’, ‘Spin Spin Sugar’, ‘Low Five’ and ‘Bloodsport’.
