Technotronic

Who doesn't love a bit of old school music? Going back to the 1980's when Technotronic was formed originally as a Belgium studio project, they went on to release the single 'Pump Up the Jam' as they paired with vocalist Ya Kid K. It fast became number 2 on the UK singles chart for it's catchy beat, which was the start of Technotronic's rise to fame. They became an international success; performing all over the world, from Amsterdam to Australia, for what was an unforgettable performance back in the day. They further manages to sell around 14 million singles and albums world wide from their music, but the first song I'm sure everyone thinks back to when reminded of the Technotronic's is 'Pump Up the Jam'. They even managed to combine elements of deep house music with their techno elements in their single 'Like This' in 1999, which is an older example of the tech house genre that followed in later years. I can't imagine many of today's younger generation being thrilled by their music if they were to play another gig today, but they definitely brought a fun loving vibe to the stage with them as well as plenty of strobe lights whenever they performed live. Years ago everyone was on their feet singing along with them and clapping their hands to the beat, but the hairstyles and lycra outfits are still a thing of the past. Their music however was so much fun and I'm sure it'll never be forgotten.
