"[[Theme from S'Express]]", which contained elements from [[Rose Royce]]'s "[[Is It Love You're After]]", was one of the earliest recordings to capitalize on the emergence of [[sampling (music)|sampling]] culture. The song went to number one in the [[UK Singles Chart]] for two weeks in April 1988. It made the [[Hot Dance Club Play]] chart in the US (also scraping into the U.S. [[Billboard Hot 100|'' Billboard'' Hot 100]] at number 91). In 2016 [[Mark Moore]] released a remix album called Enjoy This Trip which retooled S’Express’s music for the 21st century through working with guests such as Punks Jump Up and [[Chris & Cosey]]. <ref>{{Cite web |date=2016-05-19 |title=S'Express on ecstasy, acid house and why drag is the new punk |url=http://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/may/19/s-express-ecstasy-acid-house-why-drag-new-punk |access-date=2022-10-02 |website=the Guardian |language=en}}</ref>
