Anthem Of The Week: Spacedust - Music Feels Good With You

Released in 1999, Music Sounds Better With You by Spacedust took the instantly recognisable hook of the original and pushed it firmly towards peak-time UK clubland. Where the Stardust version leaned into laid-back French house elegance, Spacedust dialled up the energy, tightening the drums, beefing up the bass, and giving the track a more direct, hands-on-the-floor feel.

The vocal hook remains front and centre, acting as an instant trigger for recognition, but everything around it feels tougher and more urgent. The groove is more driving, the structure more DJ-friendly, making it ideal for busy dancefloors and crossover club sets at the tail end of the 90s. It became a staple for DJs who wanted the familiarity of a huge anthem without dropping the original’s more relaxed tempo

What made the Spacedust version work so well was its timing. In an era where club music was edging towards faster, more energetic sounds, this remix bridged the gap between house, club, and commercial dance without feeling throwaway. It retained enough soul to keep purists onboard, while delivering the punch required for packed weekend floors.

Today, it stands as a perfect example of how 90s dance music thrived on reinterpretation. Not a replacement, but a companion to the original, louder, bolder, and built for a different kind of moment on the dancefloor.
