In this article, Haig argues that UK New wave, post punk pop band Sigue Sigue Sputnik made an important and undervalued contribution to the history or remix and sample culture in the mid 1980’s. Sigue Sigue Sputnik‘s overloaded cyberpunk image and album 'Flaunt it' are discussed, along with discussions of the role of Sigue Sigue Sputnik as a sampler of pre existing music, styles and iconography.
