Label: Swanyard Records Ltd – SYRTR 8
Format: Vinyle, 12", 45 RPM, Single
Pays: UK
Sortie: 1990
Profil: Technotronic (founded in 1989), was the restless offspring of innovative Belgian producer Jo Bogaert AKA Thomas De Quincey. He had already made his mark on the " #Eurobeat," with various high-profile dance concepts such as Nux Nemo and Acts Of Madmen.

The track that would later become "Pump Up The Jam," was first released by Bogaert under the alias The Pro 24's in 1989. Inspired by the sound of Farley "Jackmaster" Funk, "Technotronic," featured samples of Eddie Murphy, later replaced by new vocals.

The first "public face," of Technotronic was a "blue lipped," pouting temptress known as Felly, a renowned fashion-model. It wasn't until the second single, "Get Up," that the public saw and heard Manuela Kamosi AKA Ya Kid K for the first time. She had already performed the original vocals on "Pump Up The Jam," and now finally the world could bear witness to her strutting deliverance of "Get Up."

By the end of 1990, "Pump Up The Jam," had reached pole position on the "Billboard 12," singles dance chart. Eric Martin AKA MC Eric also contributed vocally to Bogaert's first opus "This Beat Is Technotronic."

Take Me Back to Your House

Basement Jaxx (2006)

Once again, looking back through old downloads for something fun. There aren't enough rock and roll dance videos featuring balalaikas and Cossack dancers. Or maybe just enough. This is from the album Crazy Itch Radio. The singer is Martina Sorbara. I don't know who the Cossack dancers are.

Bach and the Boogie

Dr. K and some skinny little kid (2023)

This is J. S. Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor (BWV 565) played on a church organ by Dr. K (Brendan Kavanagh) and danced -- yes, danced -- by a skinny kid dressed in black. She dances to the fugue. I was just looking through my collection of videos downloaded from YouTube and found this. I have a lot of music videos.
