S'Express, an influential act in the late 1980s dance music scene, spearheaded by DJ and producer Mark Moore, became synonymous with the flamboyant and psychedelia-tinged house music explosion in the UK. The outfit is best known for its 1988 hit "Theme from S'Express," which reached the top spot on the UK Singles Chart and encapsulated the fervor of the acid house movement. Their embrace of house music's repetitive beats paired with samples from diverse sources, including funk, disco, and obscure soundtracks, helped define a new genre of dance music and set the standard for club tracks in the years to follow.

After the success of their debut single, S'Express continued to release music that resonated on the dance floors. Albums like "Original Soundtrack" and "Intercourse" showcased a wild collage of club-centric sounds, marking them as innovators in the burgeoning dance music scene. While the pace of releases slowed in the 1990s, Moore kept the spirit of S'Express alive through DJ sets and remixes. The band's more recent endeavors, such as "Enjoy This Trip," hark back to their acid house roots while adapting to contemporary sounds, evidenced by the various remixes of "Music4TheMind" and the cutting-edge tracks found on the "Excursions EP." The longevity of S'Express's influence is further highlighted by their inclusion on the eclectic French label Kitsuné, with the track "Stupid Little Girls," ensuring their music continues to inspire new generations of club-goers and music aficionados alike.
