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".{{Cite web|url=https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/5317/spacedust/|title=SPACEDUST | full Official Chart History | Official Charts Company|publisher=Official Charts Company|accessdate=2020-06-24}} 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.[http://www.discogs.com/artist/Spacedust Discogs entry of Spacedust] Discogs.

The music video, despite being made in the late 1990s, was made to look cheap even though it cost over £10,000{{Citation needed|date=May 2024}}. It regularly features on VH1's "worst videos" lists.

After this number one, they released a further hit "Let's Get Down!", which was based on Chic's "I Want Your Love". Both tracks were released on the East West Records label.
