The story
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."
