Pump up the jam on Neon Nights with our back to the 90’s TECHNOTRONIC Megamix.

Technotronic was a Belgian electronic music project formed in 1988 by Jo Bogaert & together with vocalist Ya Kid K (Manuela Kamosi), he produced the hit single “Pump Up the Jam”, which was originally an instrumental. An image (i.e fake) for the act was later put together, utilizing Congolese-born fashion model Felly Kilingi as its album/single cover art, and supposed singer in the music video. The song became a worldwide success, eventually reaching No. 2 on both the US Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart late 1989 to early 1990. It became the first house song to reach the top ten of the US Hot 100 chart. It was also one of the first songs outside Chicago to pioneer the hip-house genre, a fusion of house music with elements of hip-hop.

The success of the project’s first single led to the release of Pump Up the Jam: The Album, which featured tracks by Ya Kid K and MC Eric. Their star was shining so brightly that they became an opening act for Madonna and had appearances on Saturday Night Live, The Arsenio Hall Show, and It’s Showtime at the Apollo. It was at this time that Ya Kid K became Technotronic’s actual featured vocalist after it was revealed that Felly was merely lip-synching the vocals in the video for “Pump Up The Jam”.

Three follow-up singles, “Get Up! (Before The Night Is Over)”, “This Beat Is Technotronic” (featuring MC Eric) & “Rockin’ Over The Beat” also reached the Top 10 in many countries, and the album eventually climbed into the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 in the US and reached No. 2 in the UK Albums Chart.

Sweet dreams are taking over Neon Nights with our back to the 90’s LA BOUCHE Megamix.

La Bouche was founded in 1994 by German record producer & mogul – Frank Farian (same dude behind 70’s disco phenomenon – Boney M & lip synching sensation Milli Vanilli  in Germany. American singer Melanie Thornton and American rapper/singer Lane McCray fronted the act.

The song “Sweet Dreams” had quickly caught the attention of Farian and he later secured the track through his MCI label. The single was released in 1994 and was a pan-European and Australian hit.

It was followed by “Be My Lover” in 1995, which peaked at number one in Germany and Sweden, while also reaching the Top 10 in fourteen European countries. It also peaked at number 27 in 1995 and number 25 in 1996 in the UK Singles Chart when re-issued in that year. “Be my lover” went to number 1 on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1995 and climbed to number 6 on the Hot 100 in early 1996. It was then re-released in the UK and reached a new peak of number 25. 1996 It went on to win the ASCAP award for the “Most Played Song in America”, and sold 6 million copies worldwide. La Bouche went on to become one of the biggest Eurodance groups of the ’90s, with a string of hits worldwide.

Get set to Jack Your Body with our “Steve Silk Hurley Megamix” – created by Costa Lakoumentas for Neon Nights.

Initially developing a strong reputation early on in his career as one of Chicago’s hottest DJ’s, “Silk” became known for his “pioneering “reproduction”, a then new form of remixing, where the original music track is completely replaced with a brand new composition and rhythm track.

Some of his earliest remixes, such as “Good Life” by Inner City topped the charts, including Hurley’s solo track “Jack Your Body”, which reached #1 on the U.K.charts for 2 weeks.

Hurley’s ability to musically embellish a song and take it to new dimensions has earned him the well-deserved title as one of the world’s all-time top remixers. This is evident in some of his most prized works, including: Michael Jackson’s ”Jam” and “Remember The Time”, Prince’s “Get Off” & our very own Dannii Minogue’s opus “Baby Love”.

“Silk’s” passion for music does not end, however, with remixes.  His freestyle creativity expands to that of a notably outstanding songwriter / producer, penning most of his chart-topping hits. Hurley has had a pivotal hand in the success of many artists with his writing & production on such projects as CeCe Peniston’s “We Got a Love Thang“, Kym Sims’ “Too Blind To See It” …. & many more.

Prepare to work it out for an hour to the silkiest Chicago house of the 90’s.
