Vinyl’s From The Past: 13:47 to 20:05
I am going to take a brief break for Vinyl’s From The Past. In this limited run series, I will be exploring the pioneers that have shaped and influenced the EDM we have today. In this episode I will be featuring “Technotronic”.
In 1987, Jo Bogaert and Manuela Kamosi created “Technotronic” a musical project that featured Fashion Model Kilingi as their visual front. Ya Kid K was the stage name used by Kamosi when performing with the group. In 1989 the group released “Pump Up the Jam” which became an international hit. Take a listen to it here.
“Pump Up the Jam” was originally an instrumental track but was remixed with Kamosi lyrics. This track was highly praised for bringing together the elements of American house, European dance music and hip hop. As a result, it had a significant impact on the production of popular dance songs in the 90’s. Over the years, many musicians have sampled or remixed this work, as well as incorporating it into various films, video games and television programs. That’s it for this Vinyl’s from the past now, let’s get back to the music.
