"Pump Up the Jam" is the opening track on Belgian act Technotronic's first album, Pump Up the Jam: The Album (1989). It was released as a single on 18 August 1989[6] by Swanyard and SBK Records, and was a worldwide hit, reaching number two in the United Kingdom in late 1989 and on the US Billboard Hot 100 in early 1990. It also peaked at number-one in Belgium, Finland, Iceland, Portugal and Spain. "Pump Up the Jam" has been described as a fusion of hip hop and deep house elements,[7] as an early example of the hip house genre,[2] and it has been considered the first house song to become a hit in the US.[1]

Technotronic's vocalist Ya Kid K was initially overshadowed by Congolese model Felly Kilingi, who appears lip-syncing in the music video and was featured on the first album cover as a marketing tactic.[8] Ya Kid K was ultimately recognized upon a U.S. tour and a repackaged album cover that featured her instead of Felly.[7] In 2005, the song was remixed by DJ-producer D.O.N.S. and reached number one on the British Dance Chart. The Guardian featured the song on their "A History of Modern Music: Dance" in 2011.[9] In 2020, Slant Magazine ranked it at number 40 in their list of "The 100 Best Dance Songs of All Time".[10]

Background and release

[edit]

"She didn't actually sing on the record. What a situation! I saw trouble. Now Felly is learning to speak English, but at that time she spoke only French. She did interviews in the States - in French. I'm glad it's over now. But I am very grateful to her. She brought something to Technotronic. She was the image."

—producer Jo Bogaert talking about the song in 1990.[11]

Belgian musician, songwriter, and record producer Jo Bogaert had previously had a few successes in his native Belgium, but struggled with exporting the music to other countries. Since some of his previous dance records had experienced popularity in American clubs, he was therefore determined to have a hit in the US. He told in an interview with Los Angeles Times, "It was very difficult for us to export music to other countries. But some of my dance records were popular in U.S. dance clubs and I knew that if I hooked up with the right people, I could make a record that would be a hit in the U.S."[8] After meeting Congolese–Belgian singer and songwriter Ya Kid K (a.k.a. Manuela Barbara Kamosi Moaso Djogi) and Welsh rapper MC Eric (a.k.a. Eric Martin), Bogaert used Ya Kid K's lyrics and vocals and they constructed what would become "Pump Up the Jam", a fresh, compelling fusion of hip hop and deep house elements.[7]

On the unexpected success of the song, Bogaert commented, "I knew, yeah, this was a good track, but my farthest expectation was that it would be a club hit."[12] Martin later told, "The hairs on my arms stood up and I knew that it was history."[7] On the release, Bogaert is credited as producer (as Thomas de Quincey). The song was picked up for US release by SBK Records. Although it used Ya Kid K's lyrics and voice on the track, it was Congolese model Felly Kilingi who was pictured on the album and in the accompanying music video. The reason was because the Belgian ARS record company, who bought the rights to the song, wanted a face fronting it. Ya Kid K was in a hip-hop band at the time, still going to school and did not want to do the promotion and video. ARS then came up with the idea of having Felly promoting the record, and being on the record sleeve.[11]

Critical reception

[edit]

Bill Coleman from Billboard complimented "Pump Up the Jam" as "yet another uptempo club track that doesn't try to be anything but a party song. Memorable hook both instrumentally and in the chorus keeps the crowd humming and is sure to find success stateside when it's released imminently on SBK Records."[13] Harry Sumrall from Knight Ridder felt it has "a beat the size of Boston, but Felly also sings with an unstoppable R&B swagger."[14] Dennis Hunt from Los Angeles Times named it "a hyperkinetic, booming-bass number that may be the most popular dance-club tune since M.A.R.R.S.' 'Pump Up the Volume'."[8] Bob Stanley from Melody Maker wrote, "Not only was it a compelling dance music track with a chorus so contagious it could keep you awake at night, it also formed part of the best Top Three in years when it was sandwiched between Black Box and Sidney Youngblood."[15]

Diana Valois from The Morning Call described it as a "sensuous groove" that "featured an irresistible bass line that threatened to start an avalanches; unleashed in the clubs, it motivated happy dancers instead."[16] Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented, "A really hot hip/house track by Technotronic. This track is more than just a beat because of Felly's seductive voice. Another great track from the home of hithouse."[17] David Hinckley from New York Daily News complimented it as "catchy".[18] Parry Gettelman from The Sentinel remarked the song's "throbbing mixture of house music and Euro-disco".[19] Another editor, Rosemary Banks Harris, felt the sound is "intoxicating".[20] A reviewer from People Magazine wrote that the song "is so enticing, the production so crisp and precise, that most people would have to put on a straitjacket to keep from bouncing around to the beat."[21] Gary Graff from The Province described it as "simple, spare and relentlessly rhythmic".[22]

Chart performance

[edit]

"Pump Up the Jam" proved to be very successful on the charts on several continents. It reached number-one in Belgium, Finland, Iceland, Portugal, and Spain. In addition, the single also reached number two in Austria, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and Western-Germany. On the UK Singles Chart, it reached that position in its sixth week, on October 1, 1989.[23] On the Eurochart Hot 100, it went to number three same month.

"Yes, it is exactly that: a song. People sing along, they know the lyrics. Well, not all the lyrics. Most think Manuela [Ya Kid K] sings 'I want, a place to stay', but she sings 'Awa, a place to stay.' Awa is Swahili (or Lingala, I'm not sure) for 'a place to stay, a home'. Beyond all expectations PUTJ still sounds fresh, I am told."

—Bogaert talking about the song in 2020.[24]

Outside Europe, "Pump Up the Jam" peaked at number four in Canada, but made it to number-one on the RPM Dance/Urban chart. It also reached number-one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart and the Cash Box Top 100. On the Billboard Hot 100, it reached number two, being held off the top spot by Michael Bolton's "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You". The single was recognized by the magazine as the US number-one single in sales point, but since Bolton's song had a lead in airplay points, it was given the top position on the Hot 100 chart.[25] In Australia and New Zealand, the single reached number four, while it peaked at number-one also in Zimbabwe.

It was awarded with a gold record in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, after 40,000 and 400,000 singles were sold. Additionally, it also earned a silver record in France (125,000), and a platinum record in Australia (70,000) and the United States (1,000,000).

Music video

[edit]

A music video was produced to promote the single, having model Felly Kilingi lip synching the vocals, while dancing, wearing different costumes throughout the video. Catherine Texier for New York Times commented, "Technotronic's "Pump Up the Jam", as commercial as it is, features a sweaty Felly who's all power and muscles, and even though her leotard shows a lot of breast and thigh, her message is more athletic than sexual, or, if it is sex, she's the one pumping the jam."[26] The video was later published by Vevo on YouTube.

Retrospective response

[edit]

AllMusic editor Alex Henderson described "Pump Up the Jam" as "highly infectious".[27] British NME ranked the song number four in their list of "Top Five Euro-Hits of All Time" in December 1993, writing, "The late '80s, and the Top Ten gets invaded by a record which has a video consisting only of endless footage of outer space. A nation is baffled. Thumping techno-pop at its most compelling."[28] In 1994, Nicole Leedham from The Canberra Times remarked that the song and its follow-up, "Get Up! (Before the Night Is Over)", were pushing the envelope of dance music in the late '80s.[29] In 2004, Stylus Magazine writer Nick Southall named the song "Belgium's finest club banger".[30] An editor of Complex stated that it was the first house track to crack into the mainstream, adding it as "the perfect track at the perfect time."[31] In 2018, Insomniac said it's "one of the best dance songs of all time, because—while it should have disappeared in our cultural memory as a sort of punchline or joke or some one-hit wonder—it's still an infinitely playable tune that works in literally any dancefloor context. It doesn't get old, for some reason, and continues to thrive to this day. It's dancefloor perfection."[32] Josh Baines from Vice called it "a towering masterpiece."[33]

[edit]

The Bob's Burgers episode "The Right Tough Stuff" (season 14, episode 15) features Ya Kid K singing a parody version of the song titled "Pump Up the Gayle" over the end credits.

The 2022 mockumentary television series Cunk on Earth repeatedly refers to the song, correctly noting that every important event in the history of humanity has happened before, or after, the 1989 release of Belgian techno anthem "Pump Up the Jam."[34]
